My latest book—The Skies Above—is a celebration of what we overlook when we look up.

I cover everything from asteroids to hailstones, and even why every rainbow you see is unique to you.

I hate that Google Gemini nags you to make your sentences concise while you're writing an email. No! I am sickeningly sweet! Don't push me to be short and snippy!

I'm tempted to get Cities:Skylines II to start over clean with a more modern game, but the price ($50!!!) and mixed reviews makes me hesitate.

Cities:Skylines used to be such a good game. Every update broke more and more mods. Now everything glitches out if you blink too hard.

A screenshot of a highway interchange in Cities:Skylines. The terrain glitched out, creating serrated and jagged terrain with random holes to the middle of nowhere.

Have you been yelled at for using red on your color scale? I get at least one a year who's like "use another color, you're purposely making it look scary!"

Just finding someone who can hold a conversation beyond "hey" is a chore. I am tired.

Ten years ago today, I flew to Atlanta to talk about my first book with @drshepherd2013.bsky.social on WXGeeks. That was my first time on television!

Pretty cool that I still get to blather about weather in front of the camera from time to time.

Pronouns are too difficult for everyday Americans but Department of War and Gulf of America are hunky-dory.

CNN is now using the Trump preferred “Department of War” name in its official statements

I don't remember Amazon returns being so personal before.

Reason for return: too small/short

select a detailed reason: too small in thigh

so we can improve our sizing information, please tell us where the item is too small: I have thighs and these jeans seem to wish otherwise

One of the things I admire most about Mark Carney is that he sits there nodding with a serious face in the *exact* same way adults humor a babbling toddler.

Trump: "We call them the water drugs. The drugs that come in through water. They're not coming. There are no boats anymore. Frankly, there are no fishing boats. There are no boats out there period, if you want to know the truth. Does anybody go fishing anymore?"

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

NHC will name Tropical Storm Jerry at the top of the hour. The system looks fine on satellite, but I'm more interested in that awesome looking line of clouds to its northeast.
