Space is cool, satellites are cool. It's all cool!!!

So these create chemtrails? 🙄

Interested in hurricanes? I want to introduce TC-ATLAS: the Tropical Cyclone Analysis Tool for Live and Archived Structure. Explore live or past storms without writing a line of code or downloading a data file, building on the capabilities of TC-RADAR: michaelfischerwx.github.io/TC-ATLAS/ind...

I sure hope this doesn’t mean an end to @wwj950.bsky.social, a Detroit institution.

NASA say that the crew member who was ill and returned to earth is doing well and now having a meal with colleagues.

LOL. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who does this! We need a Pythong song.

The Live at the Acropolis tour was my first real concert (Pine Knob in Clarkston, MI). I was a HUGE fan of that album and got made fun of for wearing a t-shirt in high school, but I didn’t care. 🙂

Here here! We’re in the Detroit burbs this week. At least it’s colder than it was two Christmases ago when we don’t drop below freezing.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Fantastic documentary. I learned a lot from it. Thanks for sharing.

OK, Boomer. 😆

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

Hmmm…that song isn’t ringing a bell. I don’t recall learning it on the Warren Con school district.

Attention Devo fans! The Blank Regeneration will be performing as Space Junk at 6 PM this Fri, Sep 12th at Lowe Mill's Concerts On The Dock in Huntsville, AL. We'll be doing a 75-min set and I have the honor of playing Booji Boy. Whip it good! Energy domes optional, but strongly encouraged.

Whoopsies!

Ouch! I think that guy who slipped and smacked his head on the ground is probably hurt more than any of the occupants in that plane!

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

That’s cool!!

iOS 26 to Bring Severe Weather Alerts and Widgets for Predicted Travel Destinations Apple is expanding the Weather app in iOS 26 with a new feature: Severe Weather Alerts and Widgets for Predicted Travel Destinations. This enhancement offers proactive notifications for locations you may soon visit, leveraging Apple's "Proactive Intelligence" to keep you informed before you arrive. The new feature builds on the existing severe weather notification system, which currently supports alerts for a user's current location. ‌iOS 26‌ uses on-device processing to estimate where you might be traveling soon if the Significant Locations & Routes permission setting is turned on. This will be particularly useful for travelers, commuters, or anyone planning a day trip or overnight stay, ensuring users are not caught off guard by incoming extreme weather events at their destinations. To enable this feature, users will need to: * Enable Significant Locations & Routes in Location Services. * Set Weather app location access to “Always”. * Turn on Severe Weather notifications in the Weather app settings. If these conditions are met, the Weather app can access predicted destinations and deliver timely alerts relevant to those areas. Importantly, Apple states that it may associate the region of your possible travel destinations with your Apple ID, similar to how it handles alerts for your current location. This feature also integrates with Smart Stacks in watchOS 26 and Widget Suggestions. When enabled, the Weather app can automatically display a destination-specific widget in your Smart Stack, providing at-a-glance weather updates for places you're likely to visit. Finally, it appears ‌iOS 26‌ will extend the satellite connectivity for Emergency SOS and Messages introduced in earlier releases to Weather data. This ensures users without Wi-Fi or cellular access can still receive critical weather warnings even when out of range of terrestrial networks.Related Roundup: iOS 26 This article, "iOS 26 to Bring Severe Weather Alerts and Widgets for Predicted Travel Destinations" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

iOS 26 to Bring Severe Weather Alerts and Widgets for Predicted Travel Destinations

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

This is absolutely fantastic news! I'm sorry for all the anxiety that you and others at Unidata have had to put up with.
