This week's ACIP meeting was full of the same intentionally misleading fearmongering that causes vaccine hesitancy. Children and families deserve better — public health information grounded in science.

PICU/NICU RN here👋🏼 The American Academy of Pediatrics just said it will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule regardless of what RFK Jr's AICP recommends. This is leadership. 🫡

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

We are losing access to key weather satellite data important for hurricane forecasting. But remember when we said that computer models were less reliant on balloons because they now use satellite data? Well, this is some of that satellite data and we're losing it. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...

They're also SO great with customer service! I wasn't enjoying a book and they let me swap it out even though I was like 3 hours in. Plus you get the audiobook files so you can listen on any device or app!

Now I want a personal moat with baby alligators.

SSMIS is also used by forecasters to peer underneath the clouds of hurricanes to assess their location, cloud structure, and intensity. Losing SSMIS is another blow that will further degrade our ability to monitor and forecast hurricanes, just in time for the coming peak of hurricane season.

No country has a right to exist. People have a right to exist. A lot of people have this in reverse.

I know there’s a lot of news right now but this is really crazy. They’re booting the National Science Foundation out of its newish building with no plans for where 1800 people are going to go.

What a horrible way to treat professionals 😡👇

We need aircraft reconnaissance and dropsondes around as many storms as we can get.

Parents definitely turn into unpaid Uber drivers for kids in the summer. It's amazing how many places somebody without a job has to go

“It will stop all progress” in U.S. forecasting, said James Franklin, who retired in 2017 as chief of the NHC hurricane specialists. Abolishing that research will be “a generational loss" of any progress that would have been made over the next 10 years or more."

Thank you, @repbillfoster.bsky.social

A whole lotta clergy seem to confuse career ambition with “zeal for the kingdom”.

I once again did not have "Lutherans as the face of the Resistance" on my Bingo card, but the Trump era has been long and filled with weirdnesses.

I would have grabbed my noise-canceling headphones if I had realized C would be listening to showtunes the entire way to St. Louis. 😣

For #TornadoTuesdsy, a rough 16x time lapse cut of my Morton, Texas, 2025-06-05 Insta360° roof camera footage, showing the genesis of the tornado and other cool 3D low-level flow structure via dust tracers in the rear-flank downdraft.

Aye, If you are taking any SSRIs: Fluoxetine (Prozac), Sertraline (Zoloft), Paroxetine (Paxil), Citalopram (Celexa), & Escitalopram (Lexapro)… You have an increased risk of heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Especially if you are neurodivergent & struggle with Interoception.

Well, well, well. If it isn't our old nemesis deadly heatwave.

"I asked them what costume I was supposed to wear, as there are rules around how much fabric can be on your body," Coombes told the Reading Chronicle. "They confirmed that I need to wear a female swimming costume despite having to compete with the men." www.advocate.com/news/trans-w...

Saw this interesting puddle at Lake Superior yesterday that also happens to be roughly the shape of Lake Superior.

All set up and ready for the Blown Away short course at the @ametsoc.org Broadcasters Conference in Boise tomorrow!! Room 110D, come say hi, even if you aren't in the course!

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

So if Israel's objective was to destroy Iran's nuclear program, and America's attack destroyed Iran's nuclear program... Why is Israel still attacking Iran? 🤔
