This telegraphing potential actions to make us look like badasses puts soldiers at risk, as now Iranians can prepare.

Oh no, more AI slop

Latin lends gravitas to sophists. Wait, I used Latin there.

I am a meteorologist who became one in part because of the allure of being able to predict the future. People strive to predict their economic futures,too. And they imagine it's going to suck for them and project that on their present. That's not totally irrational.

And people were all upset about Obama's tan suit.

LP for the win.

Why is there no reflection of the moon in the water?

And the timing, running this on the most consequential of news days should embarrass the editors. Then again, when Trump was threatening annihilation, that same day they were yammering about Melania's outfit choices atop the news page, so I have low expectations.

Now on the menu at Trump restaurants, our delicious Persian Shit Sandwich. Enjoy!

One of the enjoyable aspects of Pam Bondi's firing is that all the miserable little toadies left in the administration now know that there's no payback for loyalty to Trump. So, watch them stab each other and start leaking to the press.

Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, FYI.

AI, I'll bet. I don't think cats take a windup.

Wish I'd come up to see Flavio.

Um...thank you (?) Trump for a war which is sure to increase the penetration of renewable energy worldwide. Just too bad that means more power for early adapters like China.

We've got lots of stuff at The Weather Company to make your job easier.

That's IgNobel material!

Competition is keen, oh kingly one.
I'd say Donald J can't be outdone.

There is also a hint of supralateral arcs on the 46-degree halo.

normalized for inflation?

Agreed the service assessment process seems broken. What's unclear to me is whether any advisory board structure without the sort of teeth of an IG gets things done. I dropped off the NOAA SAB EISWG when Trump was elected; it became clear that careful deliberation was not welcomed.
