@davidfrum @DCrittenden1 For weather in New England, I think of winter as 3 months of winter proper plus 1 month of late winter; same pattern for summer. Those "late" months are quite Janus-like.

[Percy Larsen @Luccellobianco]

@davidfrum @DCrittenden1 The most objective answer is that summer and winter are ~4-month seasons, and spring and fall are ~2-month seasons. That's how the solar path curve reads, and flora and fauna read that. "Weather" in continental climates is on a ~5-week lag from the solar path.

@DouthatNYT I would say that, as the years have rolled on, you have allowed yourself greater and greater freedom with consequentialism than you appear to allow yourself to recognize. JD Vance is a massive consequentialist in his public discourse, but you'd rather not notice that too much.

@HanShawnity If you imagine this is primarily about war, think again. He uses these feints regularly for grift for his syndicate and hangers-on; those are the only "deals" that are actually happening.

@jonathanchait Welp, it's the one single change that would require consent of all 50 states, under the Equal Suffrage Clause of Article V. It has no place on a party platform given the impossibility of that in any near-to-midterm span of time.

Reminder: be sure to reverse this obscene policy this week:

@jessesingal Not so secret: like most breads without a sugary coating, croissants can be refreshed in a 350F oven if you mist them with water.

@jbarro In much of New England, we also enjoy something from our grocery stores that most other Americans cannot: light cream. Otherwise known as single cream in less deprived parts of the Anglosphere.

@growingwisdom Night skies alert for folks living along east and southeast facing coastlines with a clear horizon view of dawn skies: over the coming week, Orion's Belt starts to show above the southeast horizon after setting below the dusk horizon in early May.

@davidfrum In other words, the American public overall is done saving Bibi's regime - he's built an abyss of negative capital with the broader American public that will take years for Israelis to recover from. The Iran War was the stick-a-fork-in-that moment.

@jbarro The west bias of our zones reflects preferences for more sunlight in the PM; a worldwide bias. Studies re health effects of time changes ignore that bias & don't study differences from local solar noon *within* zones, nor distinguish the health effects of traveling between zones.

@growingwisdom @BostonGlobe More back door cold fronts, please.

@ericfisher IIRC, summer 2021 turned into a wet summer

[Percy Larsen @Luccellobianco]

@ericfisher blech

[Percy Larsen @Luccellobianco]

@growingwisdom Perhaps: https://t.co/Q612idOsDi

@growingwisdom And it's the NW wind that negates the effect of 64F harbor waters.

[Percy Larsen @Luccellobianco]

@ericfisher relying westerly winds to negate that Boston Harbor is 64F.

[Percy Larsen @Luccellobianco]

@ericfisher At least he has sword in hand. Has anyone counted how often it's been removed?
