Hundreds of NOAA workers, including National Weather Service meteorologists, have been laid off. @ejreports.bsky.social joins us to discuss her reporting on experts' concerns about forecast accuracy for the next hurricane season, for Wabe and @gristnews.bsky.social.

Worked with @juanpab.bsky.social @izzyjross.bsky.social @stopitkatie.bsky.social (with a clutch assist from @rahulbali.bsky.social) on this story about grants to help farmers and small businesses save on energy...except now the money is frozen grist.org/food-and-agr...

Stellar reporting by @currentlymary.bsky.social on the ongoing water treatment problems at Hyundai thecurrentga.org/2025/03/06/h...

Thank you, @ejreports.bsky.social for localizing this story. "'A private company’s not going to put a gauge on the Ogeechee River or on Lazaretto Creek,' Watson said, naming two smaller waterways on Georgia’s coast. For nearby residents, though, such gauges are critical in the event of a flood."

I do think it's incredibly unfair that Instagram for MONTHS relentlessly fed me ads about the Importance of Being Earnest with Ncuti Gatwa and Hugh Skinner showing in US theaters but then none of those theaters turned out to be near me

I'm over on the other app posting a long thread about how history and reality are much more nuanced than you think because what am I if not a journalist and history major screaming futilely into a void like

Georgia was about to retire coal plants. Then came the data centers. Utilities nationwide are falling back on fossil fuels to meet huge energy demand. Written by @ejreports.bsky.social . grist.org/energy/georg... #Georgia #Coal #Energy #Climate #Data

GUESS WHAT when you google "Philadelphia Eagles" the screen does fireworks and a little Eagles logo with the label "NFL Champions" floats to the top of the screen

We finally have Georgia Power's latest energy plan, which among many other things seeks to reverse course on coal retirements scheduled to happen by 2028. www.wabe.org/georgia-powe...

Last time the Eagles made the Super Bowl, my Amoroso's order arrived late and I was forced to serve roast pork and broccoli rabe on Publix rolls. This time, it has arrived early so I am forced to freeze the rolls. This is obviously a good omen, right?

Very important I think to transfer one of my main fixations to this platform: HOW ON EARTH were they POWERING the international criminal operation data center aboard the luxury cruise ship on the Mandy Patinkin cruise ship murder show?!

my colleagues and I are tired of hearing in all-hands meetings that our business is doing well, and then in contract negotiations hearing that they can't afford to pay us salaries that keep pace with inflation. we've pledged to walk out if we need to. join us. nymagunion.org/reader-pledge

Hey check out my incredible Grist colleagues!

Well hi, finally making an effort to move over here. Please direct me to the most unhinged Philadelphia sports fans on this app posthaste.

Is the deputy mayor of Bob's Burgers Town (is it called Wagstaff? Unclear) full of crap or does this show not take place where I think it does because both New Jersey and New York are one-party consent stages for recording

Seeking home office seating recs for the absolute goblin. I cannot sit up straight or in one position in an office chair. I am not interested in standing, kneeling, or biking desks/chairs. Currently interested in the beanbag realm but open to suggestions. Please help.

Update! His name is Poncho and he lives up the street. He's home now.

We find ourselves with stewardship of a stray dog for the night. Our dog NOT PLEASED. Here is our guest, a very sweet boy who has had a very rough time.

There's a point late every workday when I get up to get water or go to the bathroom or something but because it's late in the afternoon, my dog thinks we're signing off and going for a walk. He gets up and stretches and then when I sit back down he's SO sad. The worst.

I did a lot more yardwork than my dog yesterday but only one of us is napping through today due to exhaustion. The injustice.

The remorseless face of a dog who crashed a radio interview. Fortunately it was a pre-tape.

Ever the overachiever, I have once again gotten sunburnt through clothing

Did some necessary yard demolition today. I fear it wasn't a great day for this gentleman.

He lives such a hard life

Pleased to report that putting this app and Twitter in a folder on my home screen called "brain poison" in the spot where Twitter has always been has drastically cut the time I spend on either

Seconded! This is one of my favorite books so far this year

Otto is very committed to his nap.

I entered a contest for a trip to Italy because a handsome Italian man on my television told me to and cannot stress enough how much I have riding on this potential free trip to Italy, emotionally

oo, oo, my first time learning about breaking news (the UPS Teamsters deal) on Bluesky!!

Anyway here is my dog, please enjoy him

I keep getting excited every time I find a Twitter fave on here because I'm a silly little goose

There is a nonzero chance I'm going to use my first invite code to make an account for my dog.
