Platform Puff Watch

The haze has lifted... and moved to a new zip code.

Collected from Sept. 30th, 2024 to May 19th, 2025. No #tariffs needed — this data was made in America.

The smoke has cleared (sort of).

Here’s the #Platform #PuffWatch intensity breakdown: Max PM2.5 spike per session, tracked from Sept. 30, 2024, to May 19, 2025.

The haze never lies.

What do you get when you track every smoky exhale for 7.5 months? A cloud of insight. On Sunday, we unveil the #Platform #PuffWatch smoking intensity breakdown from Sept. 30, 2024, to May 19, 2025.

Hold your breath. It’s coming.

Great stuff. I feel Claude performs better with Python than R. Completely anecdotal.

Have you investigated?

Y’all. My door and windows have been open these last few days, and being on my patio has been amazing! #TACO #Platform #PuffWatch #Raleigh #NorthCarolina #CleanAir #AirQuality #DataBlaze #ggplot #python

📊 #Platform #PuffWatch heatmap since May 1st reveals smoking patterns by day and hour. Clustering window: 15 minutes. #DataViz #ggplot #DataHaze #AirQuality #ClearAir

#Platform #PuffWatch smoking intensity breakdown collected since May 1: Using max PM2.5 spike per session. Not much different from last week, since my neighbor moved mid-week. #AirQuality #ClearAir #HazyPatterns #DataViz #DataBlaze

The #AirQuality monitor on my patio has been collecting data since September 30, 2024. I’m now running the full archive through the same real-time detection script because nothing says closure like retrospective puff analytics. #DataHaze #DataViz #Python #ggplot #CleanAir

#Platform #PuffWatch has been reporting real-time partake-age for ~2 months. What started as a 1-sided feud with my neighbor turned into an accidental scientific collaboration (he smokes, I log it). Tomorrow, I will post the last of the real-time data figures.

But what if I told you… there’s more?

One tenant down, one layer of resin peeled off the walls.

“I haven’t coughed once today. It’s eerie.” — Longtime observer #PlatformPuffWatch #BoylanHeights #Raleigh

Our most chronic contributor has moved, and with them, the mysterious window mold and “vintage” baseboard heater. #PlatformPuffWatch #DazeBlaze

The haze has lifted, and so has our collective will to go outside again.

“We thought it was seasonal allergies. It wasn’t.” — Local resident. #Raleigh #PlatformPuffWatch

🧠 48 hours of clean air! Either everyone quit smoking or #Trump put a 25% tariff on lighters. #Datablaze #PuffWatch

The haze is lifting — leaving behind only incense stains and the eternal hum of a dying bathroom fan. #PuffWatch #DataBlaze #Raleigh

For the first time in months, the sunrise wasn’t filtered through a low-grade indica fog. #HazyScience #Raleigh #PuffWatch

🥪 Scientific observation: 24 hours of normal readings. Most likely explanation: still debating whether a hotdog is a sandwich. Important philosophical discussions. #FoodTheory

🚀 Elon says it's not pollution — it's "ambition fog." Trump says he made better fog at Mar-a-Lago. 11:56 AM: PM2.5 up 16.0 to 20.9 µg/m³, VOC index up 150 to 357. #PuffWatch

🌫️ The forecast calls for high visibility concerns at 12:52 AM—PM2.5 up 16.1 to 24.2 µg/m³, VOC index up 12 to 234. #DataHaze

🧱 Someone's building a wall of smoke. 12:26 AM: PM2.5 surged 46.8 to 55.1 µg/m³, VOC index up 73 to 287. And Mexico isn't paying for this one either. #PuffWatch

📈 08:24 PM Puff Watch: PM2.5 up 26.2 to 32.7 µg/m³, VOC index climbed 49 to 298. If air quality were a stock, we'd be shorting it. #DataDrivenDaze #BluntAnalytics

🌬️ Don't bogart the purifier. 07:56 PM: PM2.5 increased 108.4 to 115.5 µg/m³, VOC index up 91 to 279. Pass clean air to the left. #Puffwatch

I think somebody got a J O B! #CleanAir #Raleigh #PuffWatch #AirQuality

🌪️ 10:58 PM: PM2.5 up 22.4 to 30.2 µg/m³, VOC index increased 54 to 177. This cloud is YUGE, believe me, absolutely tremendous. Many people are saying it. #SmokeCovfefe

🚀 Elon says it's not pollution — it's "ambition fog." Trump says he made better fog at Mar-a-Lago. 08:24 PM: PM2.5 up 15.4 to 23.4 µg/m³, VOC index up 10 to 87. #PuffWatch

🧘 Mindfulness app keeps saying 'take a deep breath' but 05:03 PM readings show PM2.5 up 14.3 to 20.3 µg/m³, VOC index up 22 to 82. Maybe not right now? #PuffWatch

🍃 Herbal science update! At 04:38 PM, PM2.5 spiked 13.6 to 19.2 µg/m³, VOC index 18 to 82. The data suggests #PlantAppreciation. #TerpeneTerritory #PuffWatch

🌫️ The forecast calls for high visibility concerns at 03:56 PM—PM2.5 up 12.8 to 17.6 µg/m³, VOC index up -1 to 75. #DataHaze

🔬 Data doesn't lie: 09:50 PM PM2.5 up 83.1 to 101.7 µg/m³, VOC index increased 63 to 366. Notes of pine, citrus, and… skunk? #HazyScience
