Tonight I can either watch Silo or Trump. Guess I’ll pick the fictional dystopia over the real thing.

Really not sure I can watch 90 minutes of this. It’s just like hockey, but without the excitement.

So if I’ve got this right, the Panthers basically traded Samoskevich and two first round picks for Brady Tkachuk. I can live with that. :-)

Amazing what Carolina can do when they don’t have to go through the Panthers.

An unusually well-written and technically accurate description of the current and likely future NHC cone graphics. The use of along- and cross-track errors is a clever enhancement, although it won’t stop people from ignoring the legend.

Fun fact: People often think the hurricane "cone of uncertainty" encompasses *all* potential storm locations. It's actually more like two-thirds. A new experimental cone bumps up the inclusion rate from 67% to 90%. @climateconnections.bsky.social yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/05/chec...

Vegas versus Carolina - I think I’m gonna throw up.

Two Baby Boomer hills I'll die on: two spaces after a sentence, and lower case in FORTRAN occurs only in comments.

Can't root for either team in a Carolina-Colorado Stanley Cup Final, or Vegas for that matter, so I hope the hockey gods give me Montreal, Buffalo, or Anaheim. Worst comes to worst, I'll put on Panthers' playoff games from the past three seasons instead.

The only thing better than listening to Jon Cooper explain losing Game 7 while outshooting your opponent 29-9 would be listening to Rod Brind’amour explain it.

It’s been 3 years and 10 months since an NHL playoff game occurred with the Panthers not in contention for the Stanley Cup. This is going to take some getting used to.

No stat is too obscure for the Panthers’ broadcast team.

Panthers up 2-0 on the Leafs early. They obviously don’t want it as much as Toronto.

The way tonight’s games are shaping up, the Panthers and Leafs will meet in a must-lose showdown on Saturday.

Elimination from the playoffs is a downer, but two rings ease the sting.

I can't help but wonder about someone's reputation for credibility when they feel the need to start a comment with "sincere question".

Am surprised at the numbers of people who are okay with "Artemis is going to the moon". To paraphrase from Jerry McGuire, if you're going to the moon, show me the rocks.

More tropical cyclone wisdom from the president. Apparently Cuba diverts all their approaching hurricanes to Alabama.

Practically speaking, I think the Panthers’ season ended tonight. But these are nice consolation…

“Basket of deplorables” turned out to be one of the worst understatements of American political history.

I'm not an expert, but yeah, when it comes to weather I'd definitely go with the guy who makes hurricane forecasts with a Sharpie over the vast majority of the professional climate science community.

Don’t care too much about the Super Bowl - I mean, it’s not the Stanley Cup final or anything.

So the Panthers' 1st round draft pick is Top-10 protected, as it turns out. Time to TANK, TANK, TANK!

Low of 33°. It might have been a Three Dog Night, but alas it was a Zero Iguana Morning.

While the world is going to hell, I got to hold open the locker room door as the Panthers took the ice last night. Tomorrow, legacy season ticket holders get their Stanley Cup rings.

When A. J. Greer took two penalties last night I said to myself, that’s what you get when you put him on the second line. Tonight, to no surprise he’s on the fourth line.

I’m thinking I should take back all the unpleasant things I’ve said about Mario Cristobal. Well, except for the Georgia Tech I-don’t-ever-take-a-knee call, which will forever be incomprehensible.

CANES!!!!!

Just run the damn ball.

NCAR’s Vin Lally (1922-2005, under the balloon) was a pioneer in the field of atmospheric measurements, and a generous mentor to me when I was a green NOAA lad learning about dropwindsondes. Few were more important to my career development than Vin. Thank you, Vin, and thank you NCAR.

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.
