Before the 1990s, plane crashes caused by microbursts used to kill planeloads of people fairly regularly.

Dr. Ted Fujita and NCAR scientists figured out how to detect microbursts and warn pilots about them.

Since then? Zero airliner crashes from microbursts.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

ADP shows private hiring has essentially ground to a halt overall in recent months led by job losses among small firms

It bugs me that all the "year in review" and recap stuff comes out in December. Some even in November. Shouldn't 2025 recap stuff come out in January?

BNA leadership seems set on continuing to blame external forces rather than creating solutions. It’s embarrassing. New York has real traffic and does not have these problems.
AVs wont fix this (they're going to make it worse). Private single lane tunnels wont fix this.

We need to get serious about getting people to and from BNA. That means buses in the near term and light rail in the medium term. We are not special and we do not need to reinvent the wheel here.

Awesome photo captured by Andrew Nelles (The Tennessean) at last night's Preds game. Looks like a painting by a Dutch master.

Yesterday was my final day of full-time work at @herowearexo.bsky.social . Great team/mission, and I will keep supporting them.

But for now, I'm looking for my next adventure. If you know any companies - especially early stage start ups - looking for a marketing leader/generalist, let me know.

Poll: I'm "pwnicholson" absolutely everywhere, except Flickr. (Yes, I'm still active there). I have an opportunity to rebrand my Flickr from "paulnich" to "pwnicholson" but it will mean breaking every link back to Flickr that I've made here and elsewhere for 10+ yrs. Should I do it?

why would someone spend millions on building a factory in the US under the presumption that US-made products will be protected if the protection comes and goes on a whim?

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

You know, there actually was a version of messaging from the Democrats that would have worked (on me at least). Like if they all came out and said, basically, holy crap America, we did not realize how far these people were willing to go, they are truly depraved. We will not trade lives for lives.

In case anyone feels like arguing with you about home affordability this thanksgiving:

• a 50 year mortgage will save you about $300 a month vs a 30 year mortgage

• that’s $180k in savings

• the extra 20 years of payments will cost you $480k

• so $300k more, on people who can’t afford it now.

It's funny (in a sad way) when you can tell that some advisors tried to explain a topic (rare earth metals) to him - but dumbed down like he's a toddler (to "magnets") - so he would take a topic seriously, and he now considered himself an expert.
Trump: "Nobody knows what magnets are."
