App gambling has ruined sports telecasts and now casts doubt on sports themselves. It's all so gross in the name of chasing dollars.

Had to open enroll my 1st grader today because her school is probably going to close down at the end of the school year. The best part is that the Scottsdale School District has the school expo this week, after enrollment. And they gave us almost no warning or information on how to proceed.

Kind of hoping YouTube TV holds out forever against Disney and ESPN. I just wanted to get a handful of channels and if they can break ESPN off from everything else so I can turn it off and on as I want, I'd be thrilled. Especially now that the Big Ten and baseball aren't on it anymore.

NOAA’s hurricane research division staff has been cut from 52 in 2020 to 28 in 2025, almost a 50% cut. They’ve resorted to using volunteers to man the critical radar and dropsonde stations on Hurricane Hunter flights. Senseless cuts in an era of climate change making the strongest storms stronger.

If current forecasts hold, Melissa will be the most powerful hurricane ever to strike Jamaica. Sustained winds at landfall may top 140 mph, along with localized rains of 40"+ and major storm surge. Here's my latest update with @drjeffmasters.bsky.social:
