Over.

This is excellent work, and I hope more educators can use it as a model.

US Weather Boss During ‘Sharpiegate’ Nears Return to a Shrinking Agency Trump’s appointee to run the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has vowed to support the president's massive cuts.

The Senate has confirmed Trump's pick to run NOAA. Neil Jacobs will lead an agency that's lost ~2,000 staff in a year and could lose most of its research division.

I did a deep dive on why Jacobs wanted this job for @bloomberg.com. Here's what I learned (thread)

They're not sending their best.

I am most of the way through it, and WOW. Yes. Not a light read, but an amazing read.

How about "natural energy," since this administration is bent on "natural" solutions for health problems and wellness, anyway?

10 Micro-Habits That Rewire Your Brain for Calm Daily behaviors backed by neuroscience that quiet your mind, reduce anxiety, and restore balance

I love this. Every one of these tips. We could all use some sources of calm.

OK, football-smart people, my son has a question I couldn't answer. When one defender forces the fumble and another recovers, who gets to wear the chain (or whatever the team has for turnovers)?

I love LOVE this because it shows hope. It shows that solutions work.

I'm glad that bit resonated with you, @subletteweather.com!

The Univ. of Nebraska’s Dept. of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences has established a webpage soliciting the community’s help in saving their program. Their hearing in front of campus admin is next Friday, Oct 10th. Please consider sharing why they’re essential!

At least we now have in writing that NWS operations will continue in the event of a shutdown. I mean, I was 99% sure that was the case - but in this day and age, I did want to see it confirmed.

Sounds familiar, @mikegrunwald.bsky.social…

I mean, I took out a +900 ticket on Ole Miss yesterday morning...

Don't be such a chicken. Of course there is a right answer, and it's the Big Dumper. His season is exceptional on offense and defense.

I’ve heard of people doing a Wikipedia hackathon to create or update pages for peers and colleagues. If you don’t get any volunteers here, maybe organize a bigger event where folks can participate and trade their updating services.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

"Hallelujah! Holy $#*+! Where's the Tylenol?"

Had a horrible experience when I got mine 5 years ago. Had to track down all documentation (marriage certificates and divorce decrees) from every past marriage, not just most recent change.

Oh, hey, it's me! Who says scrolling Bluesky isn't fruitful? 😅 Not only will I be at the South Dakota Festival of Books this week, but so will many other great authors! If you enjoy books and are within a drive of Spearfish, it is definitely worth your time!

If I could just summarize 1 sentence from the new National Academy of Sciences study on climate, boldface, flashing red, it would be:

BEYOND SCIENTIFIC DISPUTE
🚨🚨

I’m so glad to hear that! There is a really good book out there about the locusts - LOCUST by Jeffrey Lockwood. Also nonfiction but with great storytelling.

I'll be in Spearfish SD in just under a week to participate in the South Dakota Festival of Books! Come see me and dozens of other amazing authors, including Pamela Smith Hill! We both speak/read on Saturday 9/27 and will sign books on Friday 9/26 and Saturday 9/27. sdhumanities.org/festival-of-...

Spoiler alert: Summer heat is indeed lasting longer across the country.

Time series of monthly Northern Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies from 1850 to August 2025 alongside multi-model expectations of the warming in this area (scenario SSP2-4.5).

The Northern Pacific Ocean is currently smashing temperature records.

And it is reaching these levels far earlier than the current generation of climate models had expected.
