RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

With my kid squirming in one arm, I put a teabag in the pot and read the inspired marketing on its package, β€œThis moment is just for you”
And I chuckle

My hot take is that ChatGPT will take the same trajectory as wikipedia, which used to be scorned before it became a respected source.

I kinda have no problem with someone saying "I asked ChatGPT" - Respect for being transparent vs every other person/service regurgitating AI output behind a front

I believe these are the rankings for Strongest Atlantic Hurricanes now. Melissa moves up one notch to tie #1 for winds & remains tied #3 for pressure. www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane...

56 degrees at 10pm. This is the dumbest winter I’ve ever experienced.

The "fuck it" equivalent of an Oklahoma-sized severe warning for a QLCS.

Starting to question, should people even try living here anymore, or is this the same as buying a house below sea level in New Orleans.

With the inaccuracies in snowfall measurements, flaws and inconsistencies in practices, and limitations from drifting, it’s hilarious that we record it at a tenth inch precision.

I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to learn that in the last 24 hours, Providence has seen nearly triple Denver's *seasonal* snowfall (32.8" vs. 13.4")

This is really proving to be an historic blizzard from Philly to NYC to Providence to Boston

Let me repeat myself - I’m jealous of anyone with any precipitation AT ALL.

This should work out very well, with the pivoting band just on the eastern edge of Tomerβ€˜s outline over New Jersey. Details like the small moat in totals is depicted perfectly, and could end up near NYC and western LI.

And meanwhile SNE is just getting raked.

Weather community: We should get away from using deterministic forecasts.

Also weather community: 2-32” possible.

I think we need to figure out why some of the most accessible maps to the public also have some of the most ridiculous output. Not blaming any one org. But that’s problematic.

I'm so jealous of places that get precipitation.

Like not just these amazing nor'easters and other storms.

Just, simply, precipitation.

Still processing how much of a failure this forecast was for anyone who takes the ECMWF over the GFS.

So, all of us.

Potential red flag was the AIFS leaning toward GFS from the beginning

No acrostic? No hidden messages? I expect more. 😜

For real, congratulations! Looking forward to reading more of your discussions!

If the current model consensus stands, this is going to be a heck of an I95 snowstorm.
And a big win for the GFS.
