I know yard signs aren't the end all be all, but I continue to see plenty of Pingree/Collins houses and I just... I know there are certainly less influential congresspeople, but I can't quite remember one so adept at staying inconsequential that could actually wield quite a bit of power.

As someone who is culturally Providence, RI I think @netw3rk.bsky.social and the Wait A Second… pod were top tier this week. Rotting fish rumble tummy is an immediate entry into the could be a band name hall of fame.

Wtaf is this question my university just asked me about my project?

Does the project involve any work that could be interpreted as promoting DEIA, climate change research, or non-compliant to any Presidential Executive Orders?

In the eastern North Pacific south of Mexico, Hurricane Polo has rapidly intensified from a tropical depression to a major hurricane in just over a day and continues to barrel toward category 5 strength.

Could be working on new tools for weather prediction and dissemination, but nah… I feel for everyone who has to waste their time with this, where at least I can simply choose not to reference it at all in forecast discussions.

Has a *fifth* giant planet been found around the nearby star HR 8799? If so, how the heck is this system stable? Bonus: Coolest video showing exoplanets ACTUALLY orbiting a star you've ever seen. As in, real images showing motion! badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/jwst-may-h... 🔭 🧪

Paradigm. I have a vivid memory of my parents correcting me at the top of Aurora Peak at Sunday River, and my brain was just in a blender.

A forbidden donut near Appleton, WI at the moment. Close enough to the radar site to see hydrometeors (rain/hail) and debris forced to the outer edge of a fairly wide tornadic circulation.

I’ve been forecasting for a while now, and these last several years have been something else with wildfire smoke just absolutely tossing a wrench into weather prediction modeling. It’s not just “skies may be hazy today” but “temperatures may be 15 degrees cooler” or “storms may not form”.

It’s some kind of level to ref St. Vincent, the Grenadines, Saint Kitts, and Nevis at the same time.

It would appear wildfire smoke has made it down to at least 800 mb.

Not often the Warn on Forecast System domain gets centered over GYX.

Chris Legro @oceanstwx.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

SPC has issued a 10% area for tornado risk (at intensity level 1 no less), which is a first for that part of the forecast area. This is NOT your typical summer severe thunderstorm risk for areas with a lot of people sleeping and playing outdoors.

At first blush storms moving across the Northeast Kingdom seem like no big deal, but there is significant beam blockage due to the Green Mtns. From Sainte-Francoise it’s a different story. That sure looks like a debris signature from a tornado.

New paper alert! tl;dr: parts of what we thought were the oldest rocks on Venus might in fact be among the youngest. This story involves the "tessera" on Venus, which is some of the weirdest stuff in the Solar System. A thread:

Tessera on Venus, seen with radar backscatter imagery and a colour stretch that goes from rough (yellow) to smooth (purple). Normally, radar imagery is shown in greyscale, but that's BORING

This is the view at 2600 feet, south of the White Mtns right now, middle of the day on May 30. Snow has been mixing in at the lowest elevations over the last hour. Less than two weeks ago many of these places were in the low to mid 90s.

It mightn't look like much. But this little red dot is a supermassive black hole about 50 million times more massive than the Sun, its light dating to just 700 million years after the Big Bang—when the Universe was just 5% its current age. It is insane to me that we can see this far back.

A little red dot in the centre of the scene. Some (much) less distance galaxies, as small blotches of light, are also visible.
