The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.

I want to see every scientific society going into emergency mode. This is a good example of how an organization can flex its specific power in a time of great need. What else is possible?

Some of Australia’s most distinguished living artists, including Imants Tillers, Mike Parr, Susan Norrie, Fiona Hall, Judy Watson, Patricia Piccinini & Tracey Moffat as well as the estate of Howard Arkley, protest the Board of Creative Australia's decision to dump Khaled Sabsabi

It’s striking that the board is still refusing to explain why they cut Sabsabi, and Burke is still denying political interference. They’ve been busted badly, and the train wreck won’t go away until someone clears the tracks. Own up, if you have any self-respect or any inclination to save CA.
