Resist the urge to reply: -F -U -C -K -OFF

Explains why I just saw an A330 (headed to YYZ) on PIT approach out my window. Checked flight aware, saw it was diverted, and wondered why. This must be why.

it appears Denali took the Foraker in the road #badumtss

Steve Martin is 79, making him almost old enough to be president. #SNL50

at a shop in the strip district yesterday… cashier: *complaining about untreated/unplowed roads despite forecast for snow* kelly: *gestures towards NWS logo on my jacket* cashier: “yeah but it’s not their responsibility to salt the roads” me:

"...a deep eastern CONUS trough allowing moisture to stream northeastward from the Gulf of America to Red, White, and Blueland..."

Philly having Kenny Pickett kneel to win the Super Bowl HAS to be a jab at the Steelers lololol

Wanted to boycott the superbowl but hearing an entire arena sing “a minorrrrrrrrrr” was worth it

The Athletic is out here doing harder hitting pieces than the actual NYT

Fun!

what we're all ignoring here is that unless John Q. Public sees $292 deposited into his bank account, he probably doesn't understand, nor care, how he's getting a 73:1 ROI from a public service agency like the NWS

Such a huge spotlight on fundraising and recovery for LA and I can’t help but wonder where this level of support is when smaller towns and communities are wiped off the map because of wildfires.

it’s not small, it’s average!

just gotta keep the head down and remember why we do what we do

Some light reading for my book & coffee date with @kelcerms.bsky.social on my day off. So far it’s definitely giving off Jordan Peele / A24 modern day thriller vibes.

we all know where "blue things are indestructible" really started

oh this would be an A24 film for sure

Thank god TWC has Backroad Truckers on at a time like this. I needed something to take my mind off the fire weather armageddon occurring in the LA suburbs

“These numbers WILL change, but…” Then why post them?

Well I see the HRRR woke up today and chose violence.

*looks at HREF plume soundings for Sunday afternoon* so what will the precip type be, sir?

This is amazing 😂

Spam calls have been so out of hand lately. People that run these need to be loaded onto a rocket and jettisoned into the sun.

Thundersnow in Pittsburgh!

Set a new personal record today with @kelcerms.bsky.social in the sleet and wind. The training continues for the Pittsburgh half marathon in May 💪

With this defense and finally a QB that can put up 350 yards and 3 TD, this is a Steelers team that can hang with the best.
