@WxFront The radar timeline scrubber will respond to clicks, but not hold and drag (Android). Is this intended? If so, very difficult to quickly scrub through animation.

@rvandersmith Automated embedding of @PivotalWeather images is against their TOS by the way.

@aguacerowx Thanks for this clarity. That seems to explain some of what I was seeing. I'll shoot you all a few more DMs on some quality of life improvements that could help me justify the price.

Whoever said “money can’t buy happiness” really knew what they were talking about 😔

[Grant Wise @wise_wx]

@NWSSPC @CIWRO_ Looks great! Any reason why the scrubber /slider does not drag on mobile (android)?

My consensus from this storm so far: Don't trust the HRRR or RRFS for ice storm p-type. #tnwx

[Grant Wise @wise_wx]

Latest ice accumulation graphic from @NWSMemphis brings the freezing rain totals further north into west TN, in alignment with recent HRRR and RRFS trends. Expecting wide spread power outages.

The idea that the federal government would require auto manufacturers to equip cars with a “kill switch” that can be controlled by the government is something you’d expect in Orwell’s 1984, and yet…

I'm a single issue voter, I want the warm lights back.

Streetlights are too blue. Headlights are too bright. It's a crime against nature and God.

We need to demand 2800K or below color balance for all outdoor lights. Some cities regulate 3000k max, that's still too damn blue.

It’s called the Patriot Act, FISA, and CISA. Please vote no next time.

Charlie Kirk would have been president. His friends knew it. His admirers knew it. And his enemies knew it.

This universal confidence in Charlie’s future began with his countless political accomplishments. At 18, he founded Turning Point USA, which went on to become the most important cultural organization on the American Right. By 22, he was addressing the Republican National Convention. Three years later, he founded Turning Point Action, which led the get-out-the-vote efforts that delivered the first Republican popular vote victory in twenty years. In his spare time, Charlie published five books, hosted a national talk show, married a lovely wife, and fathered two beautiful children. All of that by 31.

Charlie’s appearance inspired as much confidence as his accomplishments. At a towering six-foot-five slouching, he joked that he had descended from the Nephilim—the giant “fallen ones” of the Old Testament. He might have been born with such a nature, as are we all, but he was not content to remain so. Charlie loved his Savior. The zeal with which he debated politics paled in comparison to the excitement with which he discussed religion. And his religious life bore fruit.

Turning Point launched a Faith division to focus specifically on his followers’ souls. There too, Charlie’s enthusiasm for open debate set the tone, as he invited atheists and even Catholics to take part. But he didn’t need a specific religious conference to convey his faith. Charlie Kirk’s religion bore fruit in everything he did.

Discerning observers believed in Charlie Kirk, not chiefly for his accolades or his appearance, but for his manifest virtue. Charlie’s prudence, the principal virtue in politics, built a generational coalition that helped to transform the American government. His temperance distinguished him as one of the few on the Right to eschew whisky, cigars, and every other delight that might have distracted him from his purpose, for which he had so little time. His sense of justice produced clarity in moral vision and grace for his opponents. His fortitude impelled him to enter the public square without a hint of servile fear.

Charlie’s only fear was the holy sort—awe and wonder, the beginning of wisdom—and his clearest virtues were theological: faith, hope, and charity. We mourn his death, we take up his cause, and we entrust him, as he confidently entrusted himself, to God’s care.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

All that Charlie ever did was have conversations with people. He didn’t insult anyone. He made arguments. He debated. He wasn’t an extremist in any way. Everyone who knew Charlie personally loved him. That’s the kind of guy he was. And they still killed him. I am furious and heartbroken in equal measure. I cannot put into words how I feel. Maybe that is for the best.

Wow

[Nichole “Vapor” Ayers @Astro_Vapor]

Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite.

Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so scientists can use these types of pictures to better understand the formation, characteristics, and relationship of TLEs to thunderstorms.
