My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.

The spring 2026 Weather101 season kicks off THIS WEEK! 18 topics. 36 online classes. All taught by #NWS mets LIVE! There will be Q&A about each topic at the end and classes run only 1 hour or less. The best part? They are FREE! Get signed up here: weather.gov/ohx/weather101

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

C’mon, that’s a London tube station, not a ballplayer.

my brain is at the mr burns oversized novelty germ door stage of near catastrophe every time i look at news of any kind

The Union City, MI tornado is a prime example of one of the experimental scenarios that we tested in the Hazardous Weather Testbed at NSSL with Threats in Motion - how to handle severe weather that straddles neighboring County Warning Areas (in this case - NWS Northern Indiana and NWS Grand Rapids)

Evangelical "End Times" and Rapture Christians - like most of those who are running the US government right now, and those cheering for a war in Iran - think that the credits are the whole point of a movie. The rest of us are living for the movie itself. @jemartisby.bsky.social posted on Threads.

Damn, looks like it actually broke up and picked up the lake ice in this longer video.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

Who watches Jurassic Park and thinks, “What a great idea. We should try that!”?

This is AI in a nutshell: Somebody gets rich while the masses are rendered stupid

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it: Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

Jeepers, Ursula, that's on the nose.

This is a good analogy. Very useful in carefully controlled settings for specific usages, but unfortunately being widely inserted into everything and used without training or PPE and poisoning a lot of things and people and we’re going to pay a tonne of money to remove it safely in the future

For perspective, that increase was AN ENTIRE YEAR OF FEDERAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FUNDING. (But we can’t afford NCAR…)

Somehow this didn’t post this morning. Happy 189th birthday to Chicago.

I am going to make the radical statement that Crockett and Talerico were both great candidates who both ran positive campaigns that excited many people who turned out to vote, and this is a good thing. In fact, this is what should happen regularly.

Happy 189th Birthday, Chicago!

“Abolishing tenure cripples scientific & creative research... This sends a strong message that top-tier academics seeking employment at Oklahoma universities should look elsewhere immediately. Why pursue a job here under such a repressive climate?” — Michael Givel, OU AAUP President

I have reached “having back spasms” years old.

James Talarico: Are you aware that this bill removes the writings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? Republican: Yes Talarico: Yet this bill still includes the writings of Alexis de Tocqueville, and he's not even an American. Could that be because he's a white man? Republican: N-not exactly…

This is a graph of the death of US science.

WTF did I do to my back yesterday? Thank goodness I carry Motrin in my purse. #OldLadySkeet

I am so angry about the "AI literacy" branding. If refusing to engage with the plagiarism/brain smoothing/sycophancy device means I'm illiterate, I guess I'll have to console myself with the real books I *can* read

That I can have opinions and be a great bossy leading woman and find a man who will play it up for the public but stand beside me on everything forever

Woe, wall of astigmatism be upon ye

This one is for a REAL need and imma hopeful that an auto company gonna step up. KELLY PANNEK from the women’s hockey team got hits by someone who totaled her car. She needs a new car. Lots of brands commenting that they want to help,, but few truly stepping up. Who can help,??

Is this the cover for @kkdumez.bsky.social's new book? 🧐

She Got Game weekend. July 16-19. Viva Las Vegas.

Some highlights: -Authorizes appropriations for five years for OAR’s weather labs and cooperative institutes, plus related weather research efforts. -Renews and authorizes appropriations for five years for VORTEX-USA. -Furthers HFIP, with a renewed emphasis on social sciences. (1/n)

Here’s Time Magazine starting the air conditioning wars early (motherfuckers, it’s still winter, you cannot kick off that specious argument until June), so to repeat as we do every year: Heat kills. AC is 3-5x more efficient than heat. AC works GREAT on solar power. It’s not driving climate change.

James Talarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric. I believe in the power of prayer. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves. The time for thoughts and prayers is over. It's time for us to act.

Lol. My favorite part of the "prediction markets" is that we've had a growing number of people get aggressive with our forecasts being slightly off, or calling us to try and influence a temp reading, and it is usually obvious they are betting on some bullshit on these sites.

A reminder that white nationalism isn't just abhorrent, it's stupid.

One of the most tangibly lifesaving efforts of @standupforscience.bsky.social to date was to send an on-the-ground investigator to Guinea Bissau to understand the context of the unethical &CDC funded Hep B infant vaccines study. We presented to a packed room of horrified House and Senate folks.

@deeplycloudy.bsky.social This looks campus-y?

Googling measles symptoms because A(14) is not feeling well and has potentially been exposed to it from someone in the city youth orchestra. America is so great again.
