I appreciate the new follows, fellow Blue Skyers! If I haven't followed you back, it's likely because I haven't had a chance, you don't have a bio or any posts, or I can't tell what your account is all about. I'll be checking my follower list to see if I've missed anyone or if others have posted. 😀

Fascists hate the liberal arts because they teach critical thinking skills: skills that make you question propaganda and not take what you're told by authority at face value.

Temperature anomalies over the last month (left), 3 months (center), and 12 months (right) across the Southern Hemisphere. Red areas denote warmer than average temperatures and blue areas colder than average.

Data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5 reanalysis.

Three orthographic maps showing 2-m air temperature anomalies in September 2025, July 2025 to September 2025, and October 2024 to September 2025 in the Southern Hemisphere while looking downward at the South Pole. Blue shading is shown for colder anomalies, and red shading is shown for warmer anomalies. The mean surface temperature anomaly for each region and period is also shown in the upper left of each map. Anomalies are computed relative to 1981-2010.

FEMA denied or didn’t advance most Kerr County flood requests

We’re at 39.5°N here. And while we get snow in the winter, it’s extremely variable. We typically go above and below freezing all winter.

They’re so cute! I’m in southwest Ohio and it seems funny that we’re the wintering grounds considering how cold it gets. Maybe it’s more that our summers are too hot! 😅

Homeland Security and the White House have landed on Bluesky.

If you're a dumbass with no self control and absolutely must fight the T. Administration online, do it on X.
