UW prof in political storm as Trump targets national weather lab

A UW meteorologist known as a "fighter" is leading opposition to Trump administration efforts to dismantle a longstanding research hub based in Colorado.

Free speech absolutism.

It's 'for worse'. There's no upside at all. It might've seemed like a fair risk back when he wasn't parachuting in to micromanage specific projects at SpaceX, but the more he gets involved (& the board seems uninterested in curbing him), the more SpaceX f*s up.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Pope Leo lamented during an event in Angola on Monday that many ‌people in the world were being "exploited by authoritarians and defrauded by the rich..."

Looks more like straight-line winds, but still dangerous. Someone could have been impaled by that umbrella!

Graphic titled “March-ing into May? 8–14 Day Temperature Outlook” showing NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center outlook for April 27 to May 3, 2026. Much of the central United States, including Oklahoma, is shaded in blue, indicating increased chances of below-normal temperatures. Surrounding areas to the west and along parts of the Gulf Coast and Southeast show near- to above-normal temperature probabilities. Text over Oklahoma reads “Highs in the 50s and 60s to start May?” highlighting the potential for cooler-than-normal conditions. The map suggests a broad cool pattern centered over the Plains and Midwest, with warmer-than-normal conditions more likely along the West Coast, Florida, and parts of Alaska and Hawaii.

Wouldn't it be crazy if the first week of May was colder than the last week of February? No, it'd be Oklahoma! ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Bought an electric mower today. Lighter and much quieter. I love it. ⚡️

Furloughs canceled at Boulder NOAA Global Monitoring Lab after $4 million funding release The reversal follows a weekslong funding lapse that had put 42 researchers at risk of going without pay, threatening work on vital atmospheric and climate science.

“Furlough notices for about half the staff at Boulder’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Global Monitoring Lab … were rescinded April 16. Work is resuming after more than $4 million in funding was released.”

Absolutely.

"These people are stealing your tax money, robbing you of services you paid for to enrich themselves. I will stop that."

That's a pretty simple and effective message.

Interesting to see how other crew members are being given credit for their efforts in this #MeTVStarTrek episode.

Indeed! This episode actually scared me when I was a kid.
