San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose have NEVER seen a 90° day in the month of March. Next week we could have several days of 90°+. This will be an unprecedented March heat wave beginning Monday. For context, temperature records in SF go back to 1874.

This is buried under the noise. By November, it may be the story that mattered most. If you read one thing today, make it this.

The cover of the Lancet. It says it all.

It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État trib.al/gAbdlNN

It's worse than expected, and that's saying a lot.

This post is false. The military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco, aimed at capturing Rubén “N,” alias “Mencho,” was planned and executed by Mexican Special Forces. The action was carried out within the framework of bilateral cooperation, with U.S. authorities providing complementary intelligence. Mexican National Guard and Army troops are currently reinforcing security in Jalisco and neighboring states to maintain order.

This storm is a meteorological masterpiece. I’m just in awe. As the storm explodes in intensity, it will evolve into something elegantly extreme. In the “warm sector,” a few tornado-strength waterspouts are likely 250 miles offshore. Those same thunderstorms could produce large hail and destructive winds; mariners should be extremely cautious. Just west of the rain/snow line, snowfall rates or 3+ inches per hour will be likely over the open Atlantic, with thunder and lightning. There could even be some pea-sized hail with the thundersnow. At the storm’s center, a calm, clear eye-like feature may develop. NOTE: it is NOT an eye; it forms in completely different ways due to “baroclinic” processes. (Sinking air, a warm blob secluded from the rest of the warm sector, etc.) But it will still be mesmerizing on satellites. And lastly, a 75-90 mph “sting jet” may form east of the Delmarva Peninsula as wraparound moisture (clouds and precipitation) is blown into the storm’s dry slot. That caused the clouds to evaporate, leading air parcels to sink and dragging destructive upper-atmospheric winds to the sea surface. Simply incredible.

Just launched Twitter first time in maybe 6 months to check on the Nevada 5.9 earthquake, as warned by myShakeApp. Didn't feel it in Bay Area, but I'm sure they did in Carson City!

President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc. If Jeff Epstein were alive today, he’d be a free man in Trump’s America.

4.5 is my guess

Flying over Burning Man, Mon Aug 25 ~1:45pm PT. Can't tell from 30k feet they've had major windstorms.

We didn’t have cable growing up, so I mostly watched PBS cartoons after school while my mom made dinner I must have heard "This show was made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting” thousands of times over the years Everything is such a bummer

We cut $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting just to spend $1.1 billion to upgrade the plane Qatar gave to Trump as a gift, and all of his personal golf trips and vacations. This is what a corrupt oligarchy looks like.

And…. That is the last non-Trumpified jobs report we will ever see.

He fires anyone who brings him bad news. This is what dictators do.

@chipx86 @bc19live that's not good...

As COVID begins to trend up once again in California and in Butte County, I'll be resuming my COVID reporting at @bc19live.

@usgraphics using digikey and mouser after mcmaster is depressing

McMaster-Carr should make a web based ERP/MRP system. They should build physical book stores. McMaster-Carr hotels. McMaster-Carr pharmacies and apprenticeship centers. Build a company so good that you want the entire civilization modeled by them. McMaster-Carr supremacy.
