Why don't we collect cloud water samples in the winter? Oh, right...

An iced/rimed over bridge to nowhere on the hike to the summit of Whiteface Mountain. Rime makes a white flag of surrender at the summit of Whiteface Mountain, showing the wind pattern as supercooled water freezes on impact. A fogbow is visible over the frosty treeline. Jötunheimr... er, I mean Whiteface Mountain with the hiking path and railings rimed over.

It's never not weird to hear people telling me I'm doing great work when this is how I see myself...
C'mon, do something meme, but the dude is poking the stick at the Aerodyne High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer.

Nice auroras you got there. Be a shame of some clouds refused to leave...

Groceries are up. Civil servants are without pay. SNAP is uncertain. But at least my gas prices have gone down* while he boasts about an all-marble bathroom, the Kennedy Center carpet, and the ballroom being built in place of the entire East Wing of the White House.

*with near-zero significance
Anecdotal gas prices ($/gal) from 10/2024 to 10/2025. y = -0.0001x + 9.6919 R² = 0.0142 Drops in March and July were likely due to cash-back incentives from BJ's Wholesale Club.

I know 'tis the season, or whatever, but I feel like this is a poor choice of decoration for a doctor's office...
Door to a patient room at a doctor's office has red tape labeled "Biohazard Zone" written across it (with the nuclear radiation symbol rather than the biohazard symbol).

This actually irritated me so much that I plotted it myself...

Notice:

The Left's 30-year high is still 1/3 the climatological average for the Right.

The right has had over 20 attacks/year in 7 of the last 10 years.

Very misleading stuff.

(Data: www.csis.org/analysis/ide...)
Line plot of CSIS data for Terrorist Attacks and Plots in the United States by Perpetrator Orientation, 1994–2025* that matches the line plot in the screenshot of the quoted Axios post below. *2025 data ends July 4th, 2025. There is a steep decline in right-wing terrorism for 2025 compared to 2024, and there is a spike in left-wing terrorism. However, the plot is misleading and a poor representation of the data, as the 2025 value for the left is barely above the lowest value for the right over the past 30 years. A bar plot of the same CSIS data, showing a better comparison of the two data sets. A line for the mean for each group over the 30-year period is also included. Right Mean = 15.4688 Right Std Deviation = 8.9826 Left Mean = 2.1250 Left Std Deviation = 2.1176 Another bar plot of the same CSIS data, showing the percentage of the total (Right plus Left). A line for the mean for each group over the 30-year period is also included. Right Mean = 85.20% Right Std Deviation = 15.15% Left Mean = 14.80% Left Std Deviation = 15.15%

Panels from the House of M comic (edited). 1. A yellow box at the top left says, "Me, giving a presentation..." Quicksilver is vibrating so much that his image is blurred. 2. Magneto, looking down and distraught: "I can't—[Adam], no one can hear you when you yell that fast."
