Again, june 6, 2026. I'm just using Twitter now to report fireworks to myself. Hi future self <waves> I bet it's all worse than we thought.

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention. The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean. And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them. Record-breaking temperatures. A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse. The response? Yank out the instruments and walk away. That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency. For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives. The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident. That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first. cnn.com/2026/06/03/climate/o…

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

Then vs. now

(turn your volume down first). This is pretty epic, chasing the weakest tornado in California. Very cool

Good read on transformers: more than meets the eye.

It's 10:59pm. I'm sliding in with 1 min at nearly my session limit. This is the 2026 equivalent of posting iPhone screenshots with 1% battery left.

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.
