This trend of “[x entity] performing better than the NWS after doge cuts” is really bothering me. The cuts are wrong and people will die from them. But none of the [x] entities have the long/detailed record to make verifiable claims on accuracy. All the examples are cherry picked n=1 or 2

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Leaving aside what you think of the protests* this is a great case study in how dataviz can shape the narrative. The same data could be used to tell very different stories based on what the author set for marker_width *I am in favor and plan to attend

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III, and I count at least 15 of them that Donald Trump has also committed in whole or in part. Particularly notable right now: "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

Reminder: Please call your House Representative and ask them to cosponsor and vote for HR 3816, the Weather Workforce Improvement Act. www.govtrack.us/congress/bil... If you've been in an area impacted by severe weather recently, tell them what a difference NWS warnings make.

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

For all the jokes about "meteorologists can be wrong half the time and still get paid" I would definitely not be paid very much if I couldn't correctly forecast what already did or did not happen last week

if you wanna tell a story about the importance of having in-situ obs between 925-500mb, this morning provides a pretty good case study IMO

Waking up to America the Beautiful being played on the chimes of the church in my small town on this sunny Memorial Day morning was a more emotional experience than I expected tbh. 🇺🇸 is worth fighting for, even (especially!) now

I’ve had this take for a while and I’m glad Matt expressed it more eloquently than I ever could. I cringe a lot watching these streams, but they’re not aimed at me and I really think they’re expanding the universe of people getting >0 weather info

Cannot say enough negative things about United airlines for giving this plane too much fuel its overweight and then leaving the equipment needed to fix that situation an hour away on the other side of the airport

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."
