Hey New York, no one likes unnecessary scaffolding.

Thankfully, we have a plan — and John Wilson is here to help break it down.

@JonComms @SockTalking “net positive” - I see what ya did there

Mega disappointing

[News from Science @NewsfromScience]

After years on life support, NASA’s plan to collect martian rocks and ferry them back to Earth has died.

Congress has released a compromise spending bill for the present financial year that backs the White House’s effort to kill the Mars Sample Return (MSR) program.

Although the bill must be passed by both congressional chambers and signed into law, it effectively signals the end of MSR. Learn more: https://t.co/ncwUbkxsXl

AI guys are like we can’t use it to cure cancer but we can suck all the joy and purpose out of life so that dying isn’t sad

And you thought it was hard to scroll through all the photos on your phone...

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has snapped its 100,000th image of the surface with its HiRISE camera. More on this milestone image: https://t.co/71CuPgO1Ep

Tonight, we learned the Pentagon is escalating its review of me into "an official command investigation."

If Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth think they can stop me from doing my job and serving the American people, they've got the wrong guy.

@Sora_Sakurai So sorry to hear this news. Please give an extra hug to Fukurashi for us. ❤️

[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.

@TomTheManders @insomniacgames I shed a tear when I think about the disparity between the map design in RFoM vs R2

@Sora_Sakurai This man gets it.

@dagan1973 Congrats on the new gig! Punching Up will miss you, but I’m glad you’ll still be able to do Knockback & Constellation. Best of luck!

Scary shit

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

This is truly incredible.

Billionaire property developer Tim Gurner said in September that "We need to see unemployment rise. We need it to rise 40-50%. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around."

I strongly believe The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 should be a reskin of an unrelated Japanese film
