A few years in news (20+ at NBC News) followed by a few (15+) in weather Even at this stage in life… still trying to figure a lot of things out. My mind is part sponge, part sieve Native Texan BJ UT ‘80 🤘🏻

Can we put a #tariff on phone calls transferred to offshore call centers? Asking for a friend

Listened to #FrankLuntz and learned… Absolutely nothing “Voters aren’t talking about jobs” (In spite of AndrewRossSorkin’s best attempt)

Also Kernen @cnbc.com “I guess volatile means… down.”

Kernen on @cnbc.com “Just get comfortable with that idea - that things might be a little more expensive.” Prob could have found a more eloquent way of saying it

#BretBaier is …. At best… comical

#TexasMeasles update But wait! There’s more (cases) www.tpr.org/public-healt...

Today’s ECON phrase of the day: Pricing Power

With 3 longtime fixtures gone, how do remaining Astros bridge the gap? This is why the print edition of @nytimes.com is an absolute joke. A story apparently posted last Thursday is the lead story TODAY in sports. Absolutely shameful

Excuse me. That time of year when I need to turn off the air conditioning to turn on the heat. I’ll be right back…

Politely will remind @stevescully.bsky.social the seat of government in Minnesota is St. Paul NOT Minneapolis 😉

The aforementioned #TexasSurfMuseum

@jswatz.bsky.social I’ve discovered the big winner on the web is visitpalestine.com which promotes tourism for the town in Texas (say it correctly or we’ll know you’re a Yankee)

An anchor telling folks where severe weather is likely: “Have your battery operated radios ready” MOST local radio stations are ill-prepared to cover a live event (unless they have a met on staff or a private Wx-provider) A #MidlandUSA weather radio is what you need

Always a busy time of the year in certain quarters #CharroDays 🤠 #FatStock / #GoTexan day 🐄 (Or as Fr. Billac referred to them “Fat Texan” day) #TexasIndependence Day (with apologies) #PulaskiDay #Chicago (no apologies needed) 🇵🇱 Memorial of #StCasimir 🇵🇱 #MardiGras / #FatTuesday 🎉 #AshWednesday 🐟

I know everyone is convinced that the number of subscribers to streaming services is forecast to grow, but at what point do they decline when they’re perceived as a luxury?

Retaliatory vs. Reciprocal

I’ve been awake for 20 minutes this morning and to everyone I need to say “Thank you” to… “Thank you”

#89ers Even the announcers need to work Spring Training games NOT #69ers

With the move to add streaming versions of “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy” … is there a sense that an audience on “streaming” already exists, or does Sony just project they need to be there for the future?

When you hear the Governor of your state go on @cnbc to say “I’ve heard some STORIES…”

“Tremendous distrust on both sides, but, that’s why it is good that I’m coming!”

I fear they are going to cut funding for “Uncured Bacon” research. If there is a cure for bacon, I don’t think we should be the ones paying for it! 😉 We could save at least a trillion right there

Will Cain: “We juggle them like dominoes.”

“The rightly formed conscience” apparently leaves some people out… press.vatican.va/content/sala...

@atlantafalcons.bsky.social fans are hoping the stain of 21-3 will be washed away “wash away our iniquities, cleanse us of our sins”

Since I’d rather not have to listen to #TomBrady… I guess I’ll be watching the #SuperBowl on #Telemundo

Kudos to #11Alive “Verify Team” … even with #BirdFlu, it’s safe to eat chicken wings during the Super Bowl

The prevailing answers on Sunday talk shows: Guest: “I don’t know anything about that, but how about …” It’s so predictable and extremely lame and evasive. Also very unconvincing

@chrisstirewalt.bsky.social Tip of the Stetson for acknowledging the anniversary of the founding of “Weather Forecasting” 155 years ago today by Ulysses S. Grant. It was years later that the observation was made: two meteorologists yields … (at least) three different forecasts

If someone is tongue-tied, they’re either crooked or they don’t know what they’re doing. So there

Andrea Mitchell wipes away tears as staffers surprise her on set at the end of her final show as an MSNBC host

An amazing run by #AndreaMitchell and #mitchellreports on @msnbc.com Nice to see #PeteWilliams #YvetteMiley #KellyO #TomCostello and #PeterAlexander and so many more! Can’t wait to see what’s next from Andrea!
