For years, I've long said that climate.gov's team of remarkable communicators (& their amazing blogs, which were accessible but did not "dumb down" the science!) was NOAA's best (& most cost effective!) public-facing extreme #weather / #climate education effort to date. This will be a huge loss.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

Measles titers are good but going for my Tdap this week bc it's been a minute since my last tetanus shot. Getting COVID boosted too. Good on Shingrix for another 5 years. If you've been putting off any vax, get them now. For those who can't access vaccines as much as for yourself.
