@Super70sSports I had that bicentennial t-shirt!

“Mr. Carew, will you please sign my program?” “Sure, kid. Nice sweater. Are you in Weezer?”

@eniiler @nytimes @nytclimate Stardust's claim: ~10m tons of particles to cool 1.5°C. What's not said: particles fall out in 1-2 yrs, so that's just the starting dose. To maintain the cooling you inject again. And again. For decades. With rising CO₂ levels, the required dose keeps climbing. And if it stops?

Stardust reveals its recipe for cooling the Earth: tiny spheres of silica and calcium carbonate. Here's a look at how that would work and the risks of privatizing geoengineering. @nytimes @nytclimate nytimes.com/2026/05/14/cli…

My man

@Super70sSports I’m a pickin… and I’m a grinnin!

The official musical duo of “I’m at my grandparents’ house and they’re really into this. And now I think maybe I’m also into it a little bit too.”

The "super-El Nino" talk is unhelpful clickbait hype. Current consensus forecast is for a Nino3.4 index of ~1.3C to emerge later this year. That's a *moderate* El Nino; pales in comparison w/ recent (e.g. 2016 & 2024) events. The truth remains bad enough! cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analy…

@JeremySCook Looks like it’s hurting the W

@eniiler Looks cool, but maybe doesn't quite make sense now.

On the helicopter leaving the ship right now. This planet is impossibly beautiful from every altitude I’ve seen it…surface to 250,000 miles

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

CSU's four analogs for the 2026 Atlantic seasonal #hurricane forecast are: 2006, 2009, 2015 and 2023. Analogs are selected based on robust #ElNino and above-normal sea surface temperatures during August-October.

The primary reason for CSU's somewhat below-normal Atlantic #hurricane season forecast is a high likelihood for a robust #ElNino. El Nino typically decreases Atlantic hurricane activity via increases in Caribbean/tropical Atlantic vertical wind shear.

Congratulations to the crew of #ArtemisII on going beyond where no human has gone before! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This will be devastating to efforts to research programs in the fire-prone west: "The agency is closing six research and development facilities in California, five in Mississippi, four in Michigan and three in Utah...It will also close all of its nine regional offices, which currently manage 154 national forests." @eniiler @nytimes nytimes.com/2026/04/03/cli…

Bondi was awful, but no worse than Patel. Noem was terrible, but no worse than Hegseth. Funny that it’s only the women who get fired.

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁
