oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.
Monday morning grump post.
Before you criticize, shame, and gatekeep, maybe watch the live streams of @MaxVelocityWX and @ryanhallyall first.
Whether we like it or not, this is the future of meteorology, science communication, and IDSS.
Snow is now too deep for zoomies but here are some hops for your timeline βοΈπ #beaglesofbluesky
When clout is established before trust, those who have built their career by establishing trust first... and subsequently spend so much time fighting misinformation generated by clout... well, they're naturally going to be skeptical. It hurts to watch them get shamed for those experiences.
Some snow zoomies to cleanse the timeline
Alysa Liu jumps in joy on the podium after receiving her women's figure skating gold medal at the Winter Olympics, while silver medalist Kaori Sakamoto and bronze medalist Ami Nakai clap and cheer
This photo by the AFP's Wang Zhao is everything right about figure skating
βWhen Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. Sheβd wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wantsβ¦. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.β
she did it! her! way!!
Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.
As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: thatβs whatβs on the line. @nature.org
If you were at #AMS2026 and were present for the emergency town hall regarding NCAR, remember the words βpain is comingβ to NCAR?

"Surviving", to me, was the word of the week at AMS.
The most common answer whenever you asked how someone was doing.
Sadly my good view at the front wasnβt great for attendance photos. It was a well-attended session I promise! And will defs let you know if Iβm ever in your area ππ

PSA: Here's how the anti-net zero sausage gets made:
1. Oil companies fund climate denial groups
2. which incubate fake experts
3. who write policy papers for 'think tanks'
4. which get blurbed by politicians
5. & reported uncritically by right-wing media.
Voila!

A few quotes from the Mental Wellbeing in the Atmospheric Sciences panel:
βPeople will ask βwhat do I do next?β Do something even if itβs wrongβ
βLife is a juggling act. Some balls are rubber and some are glass. You have to decide which ones you can let go right now and maybe pick back up later.β

Sorry you can cook your family a hot meal?
