im maybe a musical liker at best but appreciate the effort here.

since I’m single in the quarantine I’ve decided to reenact moments from my favorite musicals so it feels like I’m in love — first is LES MISÉRABLES pic.twitter.com/Om11HKDZ30

Jim was the first person I know to mention meteorologist Jeff Masters, who I've followed ever since (like, almost 20 years).

At the end of the month Dr. Masters is leaving his company Weather Underground, which was absorbed by the Weather Channel and then IBM (!) and will be blogging at Scientific American.

No real surprise, but the actual numbers are staggering:

North America has lost 3 billion birds in 50 years
