A reminder that "But what if people on YOUR side are on the Epstein list?" is a bullshit argument, EVERYONE who was raping children needs to get into the bin right now, that's the deal here and it ain't exactly complicated
Let's be SUPER clear about this.
Lock. Them. All. Up.
ALL of them.
The only "sides" here are 1) rapists plus people who support them, and 2) those that want the rapists to be in jail.
As I posted myself & replied to someone else, when the positions opened up yesterday, I gave serious thought of applying for the openings at the 2 Maine NWS offices & the Albany, NY office. After seeing those questions, F-that!! I'll pass, thanks.
And I actually gave serious thought of applying for the openings at the two offices in Maine & maybe also the Albany, NY office. After seeing this BS, I'll pass on applying. And yes, I know these questions are now included w/ all government jobs & yes, I'll pass on applying for any fed jobs.
Thanks to @johnmoralestv.bsky.social for noticing this on the open entry level NWS positions. To get your foot into the NWS, it seems as if you have to kiss the ass of the executive branch. I've given serious thought of applying for the positions at the 2 NWS offices in Maine. Now, not so much.
@millsish.bsky.social Wanted to see if you and Peter are going to be at the Baseball Project show in Somerville, Mass on September 23rd. My wife, Meg, has been a huge fan of R.E.M. for 30-plus years and is also a huge Red Sox fan. Would love to see you and Peter on stage together. Thanks!!!
Only a 1500 mile spread in the GFS ensemble guidance of where Invest #97L might be in 10 days from now. Seems to be 2 camps w/ 1 in the SW Atlantic & the second way out in the open Atlantic. My gut says this goes up and out, but I'm not discounting a closer approach to the SE US coast.

More on Invest #97L -
It's unclear where exactly Invest 97-L will track once we get into next weekend and beyond. Because of this, DO NOT fall for the social media hype on this system.
We are posting comprehensive and detailed updates on Invest 97L on our website crownweather.com/discussions/
Invest #97L is very close to becoming a depression over the eastern Atlantic. I do think that it will likely become a depression and then a tropical storm over the next few days.
Invest 97L should stay far enough north to avoid the Lesser Antilles.
The very much advertised tropical wave located over the far eastern Atlantic is now tagged Invest 97-L by NHC. Let the real hype begin.
I know I'm going to regret it, but I went ahead and activated my account on the "bad site".
While I love BlueSky and the interactions I have on here, it lacks the ability for me to follow breaking severe or tropical weather. Sadly, this is where the other site still excels.
Ugh, I hate myself!
As a meteorologist, I have to remind myself that while weather models are fun to look at, they are just a tool in our weather toolbox. Analysis of what's actually going on & actually analyzing what the models are showing is ALWAYS better than just looking at a model depiction.
I wrote a detailed discussion about my thoughts on this tropical wave at crownweather.com/discussions/ .

While I do think that this tropical wave definitely needs to be watched extremely closely next week as it heads across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic, I AM NOT ringing the alarm bells for anyone, just yet.
The new wave pushing off of the coast of Africa has now been outlooked by @nhc-atlantic.extwitter.link
I definitely agree that slow development seems likely due to sub-optimal SSTs over the E & C Atlantic. Faster development may occur once this wave hits 55-60 W longitude.
It appears that there is going to be a burst of tropical activity across the Atlantic over the next week or so. In fact, we are watching several areas with interest.
All of these were extensively discussed in our latest weather update that can be found at crownweather.com/discussions/ .

The cost of a subscription is well worth the money given what you get in return for being updated on the latest about the tropics.
I wonder what will happen when the eastern Wyoming ITCZ combines with the Yellowstone Super Volcano.

🚨🚨 I've independently confirmed with @NOAA that they received a late-breaking notice from @DeptofDefense that SSMIS data will continue to flow for the remainder of the lifespan of the satellites. I will be updating my reporting shortly. Here is the official NOAA statement 👇
#Breaking: Just got off the phone with a NOAA spokesperson. DOD has stated that SSMIS microwave scans will be made available to NOAA through the end of the satellites’ lifespan and until the replacement instrument’s data comes online.
Same!! NOVA’s “Tornado!” and then “Hurricane” in 1989 were huge influences on me to study meteorology. We had no cable growing up and I used to religiously watch “A.M. Weather” every morning before going to school. Had such a big influence that I hand drew a current weather map based on what I saw.
