Afraid to put concrete ideas in bio because I will change tomorrow, and then I have to remember to update bio while still learning how to Human. I am here.

As things stand now, I am going to be a writer. I'm not sure that I'm going to be a good one or even a self-supporting one, but until the dark thumb of fate presses me to the dust and says 'you are nothing', I will be a writer.

Muchas gracias al presidente Donald Trump. Tuvimos una excelente y respetuosa llamada en la que coincidimos en que nuestro trabajo y colaboración han dado resultados sin precedentes, en el marco de respeto a nuestras soberanías. Continuaremos trabajando juntos, particularmente en temas de migración y seguridad, que incluyen reducción del cruce ilegal de fentanilo hacia los Estados Unidos, así como de armas hacia México. Como lo menciona el presidente Trump, no se requerirá que México pague aranceles en todos aquellos productos dentro del T-MEC. Este acuerdo es hasta el 2 de abril, cuando Estados Unidos anunciará aranceles recíprocos para todos los países.

@elonmusk @dogeai_gov which of the 2 social security trust funds is becoming insolvent?

[Brandon Payne 🥋 @brandonwxOK]

95% of my job as a military meteorologist relies on NOAA and the NWS while working in CONUS. This will have a direct impact on military readiness, which is big talking point of this admin. Hope that gets considered going forward.

[Meteorologist Katie Nickolaou @weather_katie]

Hey! Did you know the National Weather Service and NOAA provide:

-Weather Watches/Warnings/Advisories
-Current Observations: Temperature, Pressure, Humidity, Visibility, Wind Speeds, etc. (at over 10,000 observation sites)
-Satellite Observations and Data
-Doppler Radar Data (from 159 radars)
-Weather Models
-National Forecast Data
-Severe Weather Outlooks
-And much more...

We get all of this for roughly $3 per person in taxes per year.

Who uses and relies on this data?
-All weather apps
-All meteorologists
-All online streamers

Making cuts to the NWS instead of expanding it could lead to untold numbers of injuries/fatalities

@MatthewCappucci Thank you sir.

Ugh this is horrible, this country is quickly falling apart.

[Paul Douglas @pdouglasweather]

I run a private weather company and can confirm what Josh is saying is true. If it's a weather forecast, an app, TV weather graphic, Doppler radar stream, or weather model map, the raw data is coming from NOAA.

The US experiences more severe weather than any other nation on Earth. NOAA has been up to the task (death tolls have been falling due to improving tech, timely warnings and collaboration with local meteorologists). Firing 800-1000 experts from NOAA is a giant step backwards.

The tornado, hurricane and flood warnings you receive at home aren't automated. They come from local NWS meteorologists with many years of experience. Best forecasts are man + machine. NOAA was already short-staffed.

These cuts will make it harder to keep your family safe when skies turn threatening. Hype? Wait for it.

This isn't efficiency. It's insanity. A potentially deadly edition of FAFO.

[Al Roker @alroker]

Folks, NOAA/NWS is more than just forecasts. It’s fire weather. It’s severe weather outlooks. It’s climate. It’s informationthat our FARMERS use day in and day out making us the breadbasket of the world. This agency monitors our oceans, our fisheries health. It touches our lives in ways you cannot even imagine. Everyone wants efficiency. No of us should want a NOAA/NWS that cannot fulfill it’s mission that makes us safer and protects us from what nature throws at us AND help us be better stewards of the environment

[Dr. Levi Cowan @TropicalTidbits]

I never publicly comment on political matters because they are usually irrelevant to my work of providing hurricane data and forecasts to people in my personal capacity. Today though, it is highly relevant, and as a member of the meteorological community, I am angry.

Planned or ongoing bulk workforce cuts would irreparably harm the National Weather Service, NOAA, and their scientists who save innumerable lives by warning people in advance of tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, tsunamis, blizzards, and other life-threatening hazards. Many of you reading this may knowingly or unknowingly be alive today because of their work, or know someone who is. As a direct consequence of wounding the NWS and NOAA, the public would be less safe.

My personal mission to bring hurricane science, data, and forecasts to the public would not be possible without the weather observations, doppler radar stations, computer models, hurricane hunter aircraft, and weather satellites provided by NOAA and the NWS. Your favorite weather apps, TV meteorologists, and private weather companies would also be unable to function without this data or the civil servants who live and breathe it to synthesize it into public safety information.

All of these benefits cost each taxpayer the equivalent of a few cups of coffee per year, and surveys show most would be willing to pay much more. The American weather enterprise saves many, many times more money than it costs to run, making it one of the biggest bangs for your buck in the government. The impact of quality weather forecasts and infrastructure on society is multiplied many-fold by preventing economic disruptions, keeping public transportation efficient, and providing lead time to prepare for and mitigate disasters. Most importantly, it saves priceless lives.

Careful, long-term plans to streamline or reorient the weather enterprise in an evolving world are not bad, but *this plan* is insane. A feverish rush to take a cleaver to this workforce is self-destructive and dangerous to Americans who rely on the services they provide. It also cuts off the legs of young, passionate scientists who represent the future of meteorology in the new age of AI and other emerging technologies -- the very people we need in the field right now.

As a part of this community since the age of 8 when I began analyzing hurricanes with dial-up internet, I am heartbroken and concerned by what appears to be planned or already in motion. It also directly impacts my friends and family. I cannot be silent, despite knowing I do myself no favors by speaking out. I ask you to join me in advocating for @NWS and @NOAA if you value their work or the work that I am able to do because of them. There are many ways to make your voice heard.

That's all for now, thanks for reading.
