I heard this on Fast Politics with @mollyjongfast.bsky.social this morning.

I think she’s right.

Update: I piped in the @mesonet.org Norman observations to interpolate the ~65m of missing data below our first balloon ob. More CAPE, less CIN. Less shear :(

We have a launch site in east Norman now, so this one is a ground launch! We usually on average don't have data in the lowest 400m bc of how our instruments deploy after launch, but we're working on getting that lower. I also want to modify this sounding to append surface obs for accuracy

If you're watching the severe weather in the plains this week alongside these wonderful new SPC graphics, @windbornewx.bsky.social is going to be releasing three Global Sounding Balloons today, Wednesday, Thursday, and (maybe) Friday afternoon from just east of OUN.

A disturbing and hypocritical ruling on so many levels. Especially the due process holding.

The court JUST said there’s no deeply rooted right for women to control their own bodies. But there is a deeply rooted right for parents to know if their kids question their gender at school? Come on.

NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS, ET AL. v. MICHAEL WILLIAMS, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
No. 25A915
PETER KOSINSKI, ET AL. v. MICHAEL WILLIAMS, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[March 2, 2026]
The applications for
stay presented
to
JUSTICE
SOTOMAYOR and by her referred to the Court are granted.
The January 21, 2026 order entered by the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, Index No. 164002/2025, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the New York state courts and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari in this Court, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the issuance of the mandate of this Court.

Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the issuance of the mandate of this Court.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and
JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting from grant of stay.
The Court's 101-word unexplained order can be summarized in just 7: "Rules for thee, but not for me." Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts have limited jurisdiction. Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts should not interfere with state-court litigation.
Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts should not meddle with state election laws ahead of an elec-tion. Today, the Court says: except for this one, except for this one, and except for this one. Ignoring every limit on federal courts' authority, the Court takes the unprecedented step of staying a state trial court's decision in a re-districting dispute on matters of state law without giving the State's highest court a chance to act. Because that order violates basic principles of jurisdiction, federalism, and equity, I respectfully dissent.

I don’t think this video is real:

1) there are two cars melded into one at 0:08,

2) the explosion seen at 0:03 (lower part of the tower on the left side), shows no damages to the glazing at 0:07.

Press gave Biden far worse coverage for a small number of American soldiers dying while leaving a war than to Trump for a similar number dying while starting a war for no reason. It makes you think!

Anna Paulina Luna: β€œIt is not the intention of the U.S. Government to invade…Targeted strategic military strikes and invasions are two totally different things.”

@crampell.bsky.social: β€œThey’re calling it a war. The President called it a war.”

We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.
