It's not EST right now. It's EDT. And to avoid getting it wrong, just use ET. Then you never have to even think about it.

If youโre using Generative AI for work of any value, you're wasting your time.
As a #scicomm scholar, my favorite part of the #artemis coverage is how it humanized science. This crew showed up to this mission with their entire selves, reminding us that scientists arenโt just weird recluses who exist only in labs and ivory towers ๐

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" โ all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Shocking, truly
Absolutely breathtaking view of the Artemis II launch.
Wow.
Ugh Casey beat me to this reply ๐๐
Ready for a downright beautiful display of fluid dynamics?
The Fujiwhara effect between two mid-latitude cyclones in the North Pacific.
Right now, generic "wellness" reminders to take breaks feel like billboards on a trail telling weary hikers to pause for a breather without considering that there's no place to sit, no shade nearby, and their heavy pack is stuck to their shoulders. Also, the uphill slope ahead has no end in sight.

Iโm excited to share an interactive tool Iโve been working on that helps you discover, visualize, and reflect on your own social biases so you can be more resilient to misinformation. Iโm also putting together a guide to digital tools for fact-checking. Both will be dropping on my newsletter soon!
Happy birthday good boy ๐ฅน
Psychologist @cecilietraberg.bsky.social describes the power of storytelling in science communication and education. If you want people to remember scientific ideas or boost their media literacy, you canโt just present data, you need to make them feel the story behind it.
Declan says Awooooooo! (Translation: Hooray! Or Squirrel! Maybe both. Still unclear.)
oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.
Monday morning grump post.
Before you criticize, shame, and gatekeep, maybe watch the live streams of @MaxVelocityWX and @ryanhallyall first.
Whether we like it or not, this is the future of meteorology, science communication, and IDSS.
Snow is now too deep for zoomies but here are some hops for your timeline โ๏ธ๐ #beaglesofbluesky
When clout is established before trust, those who have built their career by establishing trust first... and subsequently spend so much time fighting misinformation generated by clout... well, they're naturally going to be skeptical. It hurts to watch them get shamed for those experiences.
