Weather Report #1 Feb. 27 - Mar. 6 2026

The first at://news weather report is here, learn about what happened across the atmosphere this week and how we are exploring how to collectively-source future newsletters with your help!

LOL. I just used this quote/meme in another context ->

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

Damn. I’d forgotten what a president sounds like.

Agent/LLM usage is unstoppable.

The question is only how transparent it will happen.

Afghanistan times 20 (at least)

Speaking of ground troops, time for a geography lesson🤓
The magnificent Iranian plateau is super rugged with massive northeast & southwest running mountain ranges with both ice and (rare) salt glaciers but also two expansive salt deserts (one being one of the hottest spots on earth)

5000 users on Eurosky

💥 The number of @eurosky.social users increased by 1,000 in just under 27 hours 🎉

For the record: it took a couple of weeks to reach the first 1,000 accounts. The 2,000 mark was reached 72 hours later, the 3,000 mark 31 hours later, and the 4,000 mark 37 hours later.

Please don’t spread misinformation. Tomahawks fly at low altitude. It’s climbing like a THAAD interceptor (we are out of interceptors).

Indeed. Tomahawks fly so low that they often get spotted, like here ->

Probably a dumb question but I'll ask anyway:

Isn't boarding from the stern/aft with such a comparable small/light dinghy dangerous?

Above the propeller, which could produce very rough waters?

I have never seen this maneuver before.

Helicopters? Sure we got helicopters, but we prefer to board from the sea. Vikings after all.

Of the boardings of false-flagged vessels so far, I would rate CAFFA a solid 10/10.

If this is would be a commercial product, I'd strongly recommend to use one of the gazillion of tracing and logging services for apps.

In an ideal world such errors would never reach the user, as they are instant engagement killer and guarantee producing bad reviews.

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

More Patriot missiles used in Middle East in 3 days than in Ukraine since 2022, Zelensky says President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated that Ukraine is ready to provide drone interceptors in exchange for missiles, though he did not specify which countries could be involved.

This is a fucking travesty.

“In just three days of fighting in the Middle East, more than 800 Patriot missiles were used — more than Ukraine has received throughout the entire Russian full-scale invasion.”

(A year’s worth of production or more, btw)

Since it is open source, one could dig into this.

Let me take a look...

Ah, sorry I didn't look close enough. That is an iOS client.

That might use its own AppView/proxy/etc and act up, of course. Hard to tell from the outside.

Again, only one Arrow-3 launch over the night of March 5, this time from Tel Aviv.

Brings the total Arrow-3s recorded since the war started to 16. That is still below the number used during the first night of the 12-Day War alone

The profile loads fine for me (Firefox desktop).

The 503 error hint at some kind of rate limiting or otherwise problems with your PDS forwarding/proxying your requests?

I wrote up some thoughts from yesterday.

We can also resurface the "glasshole" term for wearers, from the first round (Google Glass -> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_...)

If nothing else, you would think that the risk of an oil-price shock months before the midterms would be enough for congressional Republicans to get a handle on this.

It is not inconceivable that this regime has reached open cult status and the actors are convinced that they will get through this, one way or another.

Are there already bets on polymarket etc if the midterm election won't happen for some reason?
