The destruction of US weather and safety programs is underway. The weather radar KMUX in the Bay Area has been down for two days, and time to repair is "unknown." @edwardsanthonyb.bsky.social notes a specialty part is needed, but the freeze on government credit cards may be hindering its ordering.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

I spoke with a hurricane modeler who was just fired from the branch of NOAA that keeps weather models running. He got a form letter like hundreds of others telling him he was losing his job in an hour. This bodes very poorly for American forecasting. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

DOGE is inflating its savings claims. DOGE counts fully paid contracts as “savings.” Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service says it has saved $55 billion by cutting jobs, canceling contracts, and renegotiating leases. But a closer look suggests that number is misleading.
