For the 1st time in 84 years, correction, 3 weeks, there is a storm in the Atlantic: Gabrielle, a strung-out mess that poses no risk other than to Bermuda.
With a quiet Atlantic continuing, I'm taking a deep dive into AI weather/hurricane prediction this week. Am I about to be replaced by Skynet?

Never Ending Math Equation: Hurricane Watch Weekly Column for September 17th
TS Gabrielle forms but is no threat, as we look at how AI is making an impact on hurricane forecasts.

“Everyone wants more warning time, and that’s why we’re working to upgrade the technology that’s been neglected for far too long to make sure families have as much advance notice as possible,” Noem said. The reality: Closing NOAA labs like NSSL, critical for flash flood forecasts & research.

Donald Trump spent $23M on golf (up to mid march).
Over 56 days, he spent $410k of our tax dollars each day at his own clubs.
That is one 3-year NSF grant per day.
Waste and abuse, my ass.

It's going to be difficult for folks to accept that the U.S. we knew no longer exists. We're going to be forced to make some very tough decisions about what options remain for retaining some piece of American democracy
