Ugh this one hurts. Jane Goodall was a beacon of light and hope in our dark world of climate change and planetary destruction. She taught us so much about animals and their intelligence and compassion. Rest in Peace Dr. Goodall. 1934-2025

Messy/low confidence forecast day. Line of storms coming through metro next 1-2 hours. Will it dampen severe threat later? Depends how quick we can clear out… potential for nasty evening storms @mprnews.org

Our beloved 16 year old Freyja, Norse goddess & literal party animal (she loved everyone & was the center of attention) is in hospice. We are enjoying last days with her as her old kidneys have failed. She loves the sun & this day was made for her. 💔🥹🥺

This week’s January heat wave has almost erased temperature deficits for January. We’ll end up just -0.5 deg F from the modern average for January temps, which is still +3.5 deg F warmer than a century ago for January. @bringmethenews.bsky.social @mprnews.org

‘Cooler’ today but still +10° to +15° above normal. Record warmth again tomorrow… @mprnews.org @bringmethenews.bsky.social

Some thoughts on the useful idiots ignoring climate changes impact on the increasingly severe fire seasons….we can and should look at responses to disasters but do not ignore the huge elephant in the room…

I was so fortunate to meet and dine with President Jimmy Carter & Rosalyn in 2018. They were both SO kind and humble you forgot you were hanging with a former President & First Lady. Absolutely fascinating man. Rest in Peace Mr. President- we’ll miss your INTEGRITY!
