El Nino is getting so warm, i wonder if they (at U Maine's Climate Reanalyzer) will have to change the Y axis on this chart, because the temp is about to be too high to be graphed... Sept 30, 2026 was 3.3ºC above the 1981-2010 average (of 26.5C) - it is now […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

I don't want to talk about satellites and genAI (though I appreciate all the comments in my mentions. I just need a little break) I want to talk about goats and squash! Positive things I can directly affect! (Well, goats are you know, goats. So there are some limits to directly affecting them.)
A view looking down into the bed of a large pickup truck, completely full of squash.  There is a bin of yellow and green gourds, multiple bins of acorn squash, a giant pile of spaghetti squash, semi-green baking pumpkins, white carving pumpkins, delicious warty pumpkins and big orange baking pumpkins.Me, standing in the middle of a mostly-empty squash field, holding a very large pumpkin (maybe 30 lbs?).  I'm wearing a sun hat and a black hoodie and looking very proud of this giant orange pumpkin in my arms.  It's sunny and the sky is blue.A whole bunch of goats happily eating weeds with a small lake and some trees in the background, with a bright blue sky above a pretty flat horizon.

This page provides time series and map visualizations of daily mean Sea Surface Temperature (SST) from NOAA Optimum Interpolation SST (OISST) version 2.1. OISST is a 0.25°x0.25° gridded dataset that provides estimates of temperature based on a blend of satellite, ship, and buoy observations. The datset spans 1 September 1981 to present with a 1 to 2-day lag from the current day. Data are preliminary for two weeks until a finalized product is posted by NOAA. The preliminary status is indicated on both the chart and map.

Trump cannot deport students for criticizing Israel, judge rules
Citing the importance of the First Amendment, a federal judge in California says the U.S. government is unconstitutionally silencing critics of Israel and others in its quest to deport noncitizens who the government says have disrupted college campuses as they expressed their views.
