We rewatched the halftime show and the closing is so powerful. Bad Bunny’s final messages during his Super Bowl performance:
“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
“Together, we are America.”

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?
Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

The Trump administration has finalized a rule that reclassifies tens of thousands of federal positions in a way that removes long-standing job protections and makes it easier to fire or discipline those workers.

Spoiler, Phil doesn't have a great track record. 😏
#GroundhogDay HAS ARRIVED:
#PunxsutawneyPhil stepped into the frigid morning air and saw his shadow, which legend has it that we'll see 6 more weeks of #winter.
Will he be right this year or can you put away all your winter gear?

A weak atmospheric river will continue periods of gusty winds, rain, and mountain snow over the Pacific Northwest through Friday. A rapidly deepening storm centered just off the North Carolina coast Friday night through Saturday night will produce widespread heavy snow and wind. weather.gov

As someone who is both an engineer and a meteorologist I loved hearing Dr. Martin Peterson speak on the code of ethics in engineering in the context of how we can apply ethics in meteorology. #AMS2026

A few quotes from the Mental Wellbeing in the Atmospheric Sciences panel:
“People will ask ‘what do I do next?’ Do something even if it’s wrong”
“Life is a juggling act. Some balls are rubber and some are glass. You have to decide which ones you can let go right now and maybe pick back up later.”
