Meteorologist and Head of Innovation Science with The Weather Company. I work on deep learning applied to probabilistic weather prediction. In my free time, I hike, bike, read, pick up dog poo, and chip the bark off trees (disc golf).
This Elbow song hits the sweet spot for me.

No Kings, Boulder, CO from the far periphery (we arrived late). Good energy, estimate a bigger crowd than the June rally.

Bless Guy Garvey and Elbow. Thank you so much for coming to Denver, to the intimate confines of the Summit Music Hall. It was an amazing event.

At then end of this, we'll need Nuremburg trials for Trump's lawless cabal. Steven Miller should get his turn. Let's wrap up all the little minions under him first, get their evidence.

It's been ages since I've looked forward to a concert in the way I look forward to seeing Elbow in Denver. Huge in Britain, almost unknown in the States.

As insanely stupid as this sounds, I don't think Pam Bondi would seek a different outcome.

RIP Rick Davies. His Goodbye Stranger is a rock and roll classic, touches the heart of wanderlust that's in us when we're young.

This sort of ad amuses me, in that the picture is clearly clickbait and utterly related to the product. Sex sells.

Bluesky: when I browse in Discover mode and block certain users, I'm really telling you that the content from this user *and other users like this* is annoying me and I want to see less. Case in point: users posting their AI "art."

The band Elbow isn't well known in the US, but what an amazing listen they are. The Seldom Seen Kid is a desert island album. I am so lucky to soon see them in Denver.

Good advice from Catherine Rampell today. "The bravest writers aren’t the ones most willing to enrage audiences; it’s those who are indifferent as to whether any particular column earns them friends or enemies, so long as they get it right."

What is the bigger issue involved in the Epstein case? To me, we don't have an independent justice department, and so for this and the many other questionable activities of the Trump administration, there's no chance to get to the bottom of it. Major legislation is needed to prevent politicization.

So USA needs a new political party. Here's the Finley party platform. 1. Just walk away from yappy loudmouths. 2. Prioritize play over everything. 3. Love your peeps, always. 4. More walks. 5. Kisses! 6. Eating cat poo optional.

Hey BlueSky. I'd like to know about useful new content to follow in "Discover." No matter how many of these I block, I get the same old suggestions for cat pictures, useless snark, or people who have AI-generated "art." Surely a little deep learning algorithm can help you recommend better.

Genocide against Palestinians. It has to stop. The US should not be providing military aid to Israel under these circumstances, and it should insist on food and medical care reaching Gazans.
