Bet you federal dollars supported this research and development. An example of how important that work is!

I realize that the level of awesomeness of Severance is displayed when I completely forget about politics, and instead of doomscrolling, I go the Severance subreddit to get as much info as I can. It's a nice break from life!

Okay, Pitchbot and Onion need to stop giving the bad guys ideas.

This is probably most disappointing to me. Another man thinking he's an expert on a woman's body and should have opinions on what a pregnant woman is eating. Utter bullshit.

there's a CoCoRaHS map for that! The observer WNW of Conifer reported snowfall rates up to 4.5" per hour and a total of 21". #cowx maps.cocorahs.org

The AMS is temporarily opening its career services to all who need them, regardless of membership status, and offering dues waivers and meeting registration fee reductions for those impacted by job loss due to changes in the government. Read more: bit.ly/4gRiHAk

Saw this in the office break room of NOAA NCEI today. I’m going to take this “feel good” energy from an anonymous person and forward it to all of you, especially those that work for or alongside NOAA. I’m proud of the work we do, and I’m grateful for all NOAA does. Thank you.

My husband has beers with friends. He tells jokes. He's a man. He is also a sexy-as-hell man when he's confidently carrying his daughter's girly pink rainbows and unicorns backpack around. If women don't like your "masculine urges" it's probably because you're a misogynist pig.

I'm learning on other social media sites (i.e. Facebook) that if someone starts debating you, you should request a reference that doesn't include Fox News. You will be greeted with glorious silence many times.

wtf Polis? Stop. Just stop.

Dear federal workers, I'm sorry for all this BS. You don't deserve this treatment. If you were a National Park Service worker who was just laid off, I am eager to hear about the good work you were doing + why you worked at NPS. Anonymous or not. On Signal: jbendery.41 Email: [email protected]

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

True, it hasn't been a brutal winter. But the differences between December and January are pretty stark. December 2024 statewide average was 5.5°F above average, and January 2025 was 6°F below average. 1/

I can't wait for the day that I'll be sleeping and my dream will be interrupted by a commercial break.

Maybe we can show the face of the blonde woman who works at Buffalo Wild Wings two years from now when she finds out that all those programs actually do affect her.

I had an ultrasound last week, and the resulting comment was that my bladder is unremarkable. Still stings to this day 😭

"No, your honor, I don't think my murder was illegal. I think your court takes away my freedoms by saying I can't murder people."

All kinds of hazardous weather the next several days, as highlighted by our machine-learning prediction models: heavy rain and severe storms in the southeast today, big rain event in California tomorrow, possible severe wx outbreak again in the SE on Saturday (not to mention snow elsewhere!) 1/4

On the International women in Science Day, I hold 2 controversial pins. Yeah the climate is warming and the science doesn’t care about your feelings. No matter what you ban. The truth will still be there!
