There is a gaping hole in weather balloon coverage in western Alaska — a critical shortage bedeviling US forecasts and the National Weather Service since layoffs hit the agency as part of the Department of Government Efficiency’s push to shrink the federal government back in February.

Blue check tweet from three days ago that says

The problem with evil Halloween decorations is that they are real, they summon real monsters, they bring forth real beings. It’s not a game. Festivities matter.
