Just so we all understand, the point to this is to privatize weather forecasting. You'll have to pay for weather forecasts. Private companies like starlink will own the weather satellites. There will be no long-term research on improving forecasts

With Trump's purge of employees who worked on DEI, some agencies reassigned the employees to other duties. But that is not good enough for Bari Weiss's The Free Press. They have a "whistleblower" (snitch) who is ready to name names. They are happy to co-produce Trump's purges.

Writing 101 tip: The word “just” is frequently used as a space-filler word without any particular meaning. In the vast majority of cases, you can delete the word “just” from any piece of writing and you’ll find that the result reads better.

I did my re-read of Roth's The Plot Against America. I got to the part where the president was exposed as a possible foreign agent and conflict with Canada was looming and I remember the first time I read it, thinking, "this is where it kind of loses me." Ha ha no. It's good.

If you have "economic anxiety" but support tariffs & mass layoffs If "law & order" doesn't include insurrections & police brutality If you hate DEI but not legacy admissions, underfunded schools or unequal pay You need to see a wizard A very GRAND one But he has to be grand

Seeing piece after piece in the DC sheets about mounting economic uncertainty. They're saying it implicitly by what they're discussing. But note that the editors are really struggling with the fact they can't bring themselves to say that Trump is tanking the economy.

Gene Hackman dying seems a good time to tell you that Sam Raimi made a western called The Quick and the Dead, absolutely every cool actor is in it, Hackman destroys in every scene as the Big Bad, and for weird reasons 1995 America decided it was bad and erased it from memory

1. Media sources are widely reporting Trump's military ban has "a waiver" for trans people. It does not: It only applies to closeted trans people who have never transitioned and feel no dysphoria. The ban also forces people to resign or pay back benefits. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Essentially ALL TB programs funded by the U.S. Government were officially terminated last night. Horrifyingly, that includes the Global Drug Facility that coordinates the vast majority of TB treatment and tests purchased globally. Shuttering the GDF will stop TB treatment for the entire planet....

There are a lot of idiots, both conservatives and corporate goons, who really think Trump has his literal Thousand Year Reich, and when shit inevitably falls apart for them in a few months, we need to remember it's 100% fine to take both fascists & their collaborators and burn them in the streets.

US folks, I know it's not even March and a lot of places aren't thinking about this yet. If you need fans for cooling, start shopping now. If you need a portable A/C, start shopping now. If you need to and can afford it, get your central a/c replaced ASAP with something more energy efficient.

I'm petty, so it is going to be extraordinarily pleasing to me to watch entertainment companies shoot themselves in the foot eliminating DEI initiatives when America's greatest export is Black American culture.

Meanwhile, they're banning drag shows, scrubbing pronouns from emails, criminalizing consensual adult content, and trying to erase trans people from public life, all in the name of "protecting women and children." This is what fascists do and what they have always done.

Thread. We've always learned that we didn't have to set too much back for emergencies because our institutions and government would protect us. That's not true anymore, and it's going to lead to a lot of people hurt or dead. :(

They hate the Federal Government and its work force because this was the first and most consistent space for women and minorities left out of the private sector to get a fair(er) shot. And so these men must kill it, must take from it for themselves, must do unreckonable violence to these people.
