Fuck that clearance shit go through the back door

In this case it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission

WTF, Did they tap their phones? On second thought, don't answer that.

They should do it on their own devices and screw the orange dick-tator!

Friendly reminder to follow the money. They want to get rid of NOAA because they want to make money. Fully a third of US GDP goes through the agency. https://www.commerce.gov/bureaus-and-offices/noaa

They're trying to hide knowledge in the way the GOP dumbed down the South & Midwest. They're experts at this.

Canadians can initiate the contact. What can they do?

Fourth Reich?
Sounds about it.

Well, I overheard him saying that if they want our weather data, then they should pay for it.

This administration has a similar effect on science as the Nazi regime in Germany.

Not really surprised. Consider that Project 2025 is a denial of science.

Interestingly it’s a tremendous opportunity for Canada to invest in science and to capitalize on those fleeing the US.

This would be a green light to contact Canada on the sky as much as possible to me, try and make me do something stupid and I always will do the opposite.

On the "sly", auto correct got me

sleemanning.bsky.social•2 days ago

Soooo- this makes me feel so much safer.

This is literally don't look up.

Oh no, the fool king's feelings must have been seriously hurt when people were making fun of his sharpy drawing, trying to waylay a certain incoming hurricane. So now the weather (service) was declared another enemy.

If this would be a film, audience would leave after the first half bc it's too absurd.

I think I just figured him out. He is just a real estate Mogul, trying to aquire (steal) as much land as he can. Land matters but the people living there mean nothing, they're just collateral damage.
Nevertheless, he is still a demented, vile old man with sick fantasies and way too much power.

This country is becoming an autocracy at a rapid pace! 🤨

Weather: famously known for respecting international borders

What could possibly go wrong?

WTF?

This will kill people. Either in the US or Canada, folks will be hurt by a lack of collaboration over just simple weather forecasts, completely apart from the important work being done at the climate scale.
