“The more we think we know about, the greater the unknown.” —Rush
Nothing like sacrificing our country’s safety for a petty political power play. The future of our atmospheric science research—and understanding of natural phenomena that can affect us all—is at stake.

"Scientists, meteorologists and lawmakers said the move was an attack on critical scientific research and would harm the United States." Yes, but Colorado wouldn't pardon county clerk, so.... www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/c...

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

Literally shaking my head. The baseless, naive, shortsighted mischaracterization and vilification of my career field by egomaniacs and narcissists is sending me.

I’ve worked with NCAR scientists for 34 years. Some of the best atmospheric science research in the world includes NCAR collabs.

Why? 😢

Canes fans: ICYMI…Brandon Bussi was on Morning Skate on @siriusxmnhl.bsky.social this morning. Subscribers can listen in the app. Interview started just after 9. Good nuggets of info about his perspectives on developing as a goalie and who he cheered for as a child.

This would be a huge win. This was their chance to put their "red team" views into the official record and the best they could do was to present an epic failure. They'll claim it was just ideological opposition, but in the end their view of the science crashed and burned in front of everyone.

Today, I was asked if I plan to take time off for the holidays. I sheepishly replied, “Sort of.” I went on to explain that I’ve been out of work for nearly 6 months, that I had been DOGE’d. The person asked me to explain, so I told them that my Federal agency no longer wants my skillset. 1/2

Meanwhile in Carolina, Brandon Bussi just improved to 9-1-0 to start his career.

He’s only the 5th goalie in NHL history with 9 wins in their first 10 starts. The others:

Igor Shesterkin (2019-20)
Freddie Andersen (2013-14)
Bob Froese (1982-83)
Frank Brimsek (1938-39)

Really great article and insight on the “believability” and “utility” of publicly available NHL analytics data.

Jeff Blashill is big on analytics, and said the Blackhawks' internal data suggest they're better than the public models say.

So I roped @domluszczyszyn.bsky.social, the proprietor of one of those models, into a discussion on public vs. private NHL data.

Canes fans: nice, extended interview with John Forslund this morning on Morning Skate on @siriusxmnhl.bsky.social. He talks about the 2006 Cup run and gives more context on relocation from Hartford to Carolina, including the Greensboro days. TV life nuggets, too.

~35 min long. 9:00 EST.

Canes fans…can someone who has the stats setup help me with this, please:

How many times have the Canes yielded a goal on the first shot of the game this season, and what is their record in those games?

It’s at least two… 😑

Excellent article and interview with Gabriel Vilardi, who bravely opens up about how anxiety has affected him since he was a child. Kudos to him for helping erase the stigma associated with mental health.

Honestly, it makes me want to buy his jersey.
