Hi! I'm Mezo (as in mesocyclone, but with a z)! I'm an amateur weather and coffee enthusiast. A returning member of the furry fandom 2010-2014, 2025-present. I post about weather, coffee, skunks, and occasionally retro tech.

Preliminary reports of and confirmed tornado counts, by state, for 2026 through Sunday. That's not a misprint. Illinois is 4x the total for Oklahoma, so far.

After all the recent weeks of pain I've been through, it's just impossible for me to focus on work. I need several days off. One of which I want to spend installing Windows 95 on old hardware and torturing it with running software it was never meant to run in the first place.

Imagine if we had invested as much money, time, and resources in renewables and nuclear energy as we had building energy intensive slop generators. So many of our biggest problems would be well on their way to being entirely solved by now.

Air conditioning is unapologetically a good thing because it helps people not die. And one good thing about air conditioning is that it largely needs to run during the day when solar power is at its maximum: it can and should align with clean energy goals.

I guess this is my first true Pride Month, being the first year l can honestly say I feel proud of who I am. It couldn't have come at a more poignant time for me, and I believe this month will ring in a period of new beginnings for this weather-loving skunk. ⛈️❤️💜💙🦨

While it's hard to believe in my neck of the woods that this winter was this warm, we were really only slightly below normal temperature-wise, December-February. We've gotten so used to climate change that average seems outlandishly cold to us.

December 2025 through February 2026 was the 2nd warmest winter on record for the Contiguous U.S. according to Prism climate data. The widespread record to near record warmth in the west easily outweighed the cool temps in the east. 🔥🔥🔥

seeing people actually installing linux this week after getting sick of big tech's perversion of the computer is unironically giving me hope. we can live in harmony with the computer when we don't let parasites in big tech put their evil sludge in it

native gardening is fulfilling, it feels like bridging a gap and building a relationship with the things that live around you by inviting them in instead of fighting to keep everything untouched. watching a host plant be demolished by caterpillars becomes exciting instead of frustrating lol

This here is an actual scientific use case for ML. Weather is an infinite source of data and noise, and ML is at its most useful when given data sets like this. Let's see how useful this proves to be in the coming months, especially during severe weather season!

Additionally, as I understand it, this technique uses a fraction of the compute power and electricity of the traditional weather models, while also completing its runs in less time. I'll modify this post if I later find out that this is not true, but I do find it plausible.

DANGEROUS COLD SURGE COMING. By Sunday night into Monday, temps will run 20 to 40 degrees below normal across the Midwest, Ohio Valley, and Great Lakes. Single digits. Subzero wind chills. Highs that barely count as highs. Winter hasn’t even started yet...

December’s full moon is commonly referred to as the Cold Moon. You can guess why. It’ll certainly live up to its name, as tonight’s full moon will oversee record cold low temperatures from Illinois to Maine. Visit weather.gov for your latest, local forecast. #fullMoon NWS photo: Robert Hyatt

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Finally back from my first trip to India! I had fun. Saw lots of new things, met lots of people, came back home with a lot of tea. All the carbs were hard on the 'beetus. I'm definitely taking a break from rice. I could definitely eat more sambar though...
