As of today, I am back in weather radar research with both feet!

Big milestone met for Environment Canada today as it launches its long-awaited storm-based thunderstorm and tornado warning system. It's mostly going to affect warnings received via cell phone, but it should substantially reduce the number of warnings for people not in the direct path of the storm.

There’s no love lost between me and Fortran, but AI just sub-titled it as “4chan” and that’s about all you need to know about the state of the world.

History can be re-written, and when it is it must be fact-checked and corrected if necessary.

So let's dissect the Minister's response regarding the disbanding of the Environment Canada's radar science team. 🧵1/n Is radar science an "essential scientific function"? Radar is the #1 tool for severe storm warnings and our new radars have serious problems with data quality needing to be fixed.

Once again, Ontario has sat on the couch instead of voting. Given how Doug Ford has “protected” us so far, I wonder if we’ll have an Ontario left in four years.

Doug Ford is Pacific Mall Trump. He’s gutted education, healthcare, and given away our money to his buds: Ontario Place, Science Centre, Greenbelt, LCBO, Service Ontario. He’s only “protecting” Ontario from Trump so he can continue plundering it for himself. Completely untrustworthy. #onpoli

Superb thread! I overheard a podcast with some finance bros discussing how important it is for the US to build new nuclear power plants to support the push for scaled-up AI. They further emphasized that a key to keeping costs down would be to relax regulations on nuclear power. Say what? 1/4
