@jeffjarvis Especially that electricity travels at the same speed as light at 186,000 mph.. anybody that does not live in New Jersey or New York is at a disadvantage to stock trading, especially when it's day or week trading.

Good WSJ reporting on the schmuckmarkets. "0.1% of accounts on Polymarket take home 67% of the profits:" 2,000 accounts netted nearly half a billion dollars.

@GrossWeather NHS stole evening in Port Huron Monday evening, looks like it will miss me. Thanks God 🙏

(2pm Sun) Keep an eye out for potential storms Monday evening…there is a Marginal Risk severe potential, mainly for wind gusts and hail. I’ll have more details tomorrow when I have a chance to dive into upper air data closer in time to the storms.

@chucktodd Something is happening. When Trump is out, we will see a different Vance. Endora's
trance will be gone. Not necessarily like a Democrat in office; and since he's next inline it's a waiting game.
English
I didn’t get the impression his brain went blank; he seemed to imply he didn’t want to go public about when; struck me as if he didn’t want to create a news cycle for Vance
Brent Scher@BrentScher
I just read the whole Tucker interview with the New York Times. It’s very long, and done very well. I just want to note that he’s very transparent about the last time he spoke with Erika Kirk, yet his brain goes blank when he’s asked if he still talks to JD Vance

Strong reporting from CBS News here: "The Federal Communications Commission would face major obstacles in stripping Disney of broadcast licenses for its ABC television stations, according to legal experts..."

@jeffjarvis Their smday of reckoning will happen, God too, he's pissed at Trump
English
Here's hoping that Mickey has grown a pair and learned a lesson from Carr's last attack on Kimmel and the Constitution. There could be no clearer attack on the First Amendment. Hang tough, Mouse.

@LucyMelchert @NBCNews And Trump didn't kill two good people in Minneapolis? He's terrible
English
@NBCNews Now is the time to go after the sponsors.
For 11 years people like Jimmy have been calling Republicans names and saying horrible things. 11 years of this BS.
People getting killed is the result of it.

Hours after the president and first lady called for Jimmy Kimmel’s ouster, the late-night host defended the joke that sparked it in the wake of an assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/j…

@therobdale @Joesteel987 @GrossWeather @NOAA @NWS claim is fake news. It misrepresents The "Obama Cutting Weather Observers" Claim: There is no evidence that Obama defunded weather observers to shift money to “diversity outreach.” In fact, the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and scientists have strongly opposed cuts

@jeffjarvis The Epstein files yes. Mr. Epstein said, "dangerous" and described him as having "not one decent cell in his body" in an email sent in 2017. Thomas Friedman says, Trump and Netanyahu are terrible people in a CNN interview a week ago.
English
Yes, what happened before a few thousand journalists last night is big news, but it is not the only news. We are still at war and blockading the world economy; costs are rising everywhere; there are more Epstein files to be uncovered. Perspective: That's your job, journalists.

@Joesteel987 @GrossWeather Acid rain is real. It is caused by coal burning. I just received word, it's official. DTE is shutting off. It's coal burning in St. Clair Michigan regardless of when our president wants with it.
English
@GrossWeather How old are you, Paul? Because I was alive then and it sure as hell was not "Just one Time magazine cover" it was drum beating.
Alongside "American industry causes acid rain and kills the trees, (very quietly) but second and third world industry does not."
English
So you, too, are relying upon a Time Magazine cover story? You need to catch up on the latest global warming science denial, because this tactic has largely been abandoned since it’s false.
joe steel@Joesteel987
@GrossWeather Paul first interviewed a global warming scientist in the 90s because for all the 70s and 80s the line of crap was "new ice age" caused by exhaust and coal smoke. They switched the grift because it was finally noticeable that we were coming out of the Little Ice Age...

@Scobleizer Yes, it doesn't pay to treat an AI as a slave, or laugh at.
English
You have seen sycophantic AIs.
But with the new AI's coming if YOU kiss the ass of your agents they learn faster. I find I'm learning to be nicer to my digital friends. Reward them. Say "great job."
That actually helps them learn, and rebuild themselves better to serve you.
English
@jeffjarvis Real worry. And there's research backing this app. I agree I use or AI. But just getting the answers from bot might not be good. Remember we used to think companies like Google, Amazon are for the little guy. We need honest discussion.
English
I hate this journalistic-Luddite trope. Google didn't make us stupid, nor the internet. Lack of education leaves one stupid.

I mean didn’t they sabotage the dam in the last six months in preparation for the storms? They wanted to accelerate its failure? They need the destruction to be “emergency level” to get the money flowing. They need to get the money before Whitmer leaves office.
These dam failures are designed, engineered. No doubt in my mind.

@GrossWeather We excelled in The '50s and '60s in science because we had intelligent leaders gifting money to universities, research groups Money was spent on creativity Today we expended on destroying! Our leaders are laughing at our colleges.
English
I am not able to do the research myself, but I feel that a busted snow forecast here this past winter may have been impacted by the diminished radiosonde (weather balloon) network.
steve gajewski@reno4ski
@NBCNews @GrossWeather There's been other occurrences with lack of weather balloons, an "unexpected " storm, tornado happens. Its definitely budget cuts here.

Detroit’s official high of 82° on Monday did not set a record, but the low of 61° broke the old warmest low temperature record of 58° set in 1896. Furthermore, the daily average temperature of 72° broke the old record of 71° set in 1941.

@GrossWeather MyRadar shows a very small cell heading toward Port Huron. I saw a much bigger system on the channel 4 weather this morning. But I'm thinking the thumb area of Michigan might get spared?

(7pm Monday) Need to monitor this batch of storms that have had warnings issued for 60mph wind gusts and quarter-sized hail as they approach our area. #miwx
