Proud to say that @theeyewallwx.bsky.social has crossed the 10,000 subscriber mark for our morning newsletter/posts. This includes the new audience we’ve added on SStack. Not bad for year 3! Exciting times for us and we look forward to continuing to serve our audience!
I was already proud of our work with @spacecitywx.bsky.social, but I’m just as proud of what we are doing here. In a crappy news landscape, we are just trying to be refreshingly boring, honest, and informative. Here’s to the next 10,000.
Temps in the 40s and 50s with sun is absolute bliss.

This week’s weather includes snow, cold, and a wet West. We take a first crack at the historical perspective of this hurricane season. And newsy bits today focuses on the federal government’s withdrawal from disaster mitigation and aid. More in the post! Below or at theeyewall.com.

Correct take.
I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this.
Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.
Let people find joy where they can, please.

Political conservatives gained a 6-1 majority on the board in 2023 and have since implemented a number of right-wing policies, such as removing middle school textbook chapters that touched on vaccines and climate change.

I don’t even know what I agree or disagree with Mamdani on, but it’s cool to see a younger guy with fresh ideas be given an opportunity there. If the establishment thinks that’s such a bad thing, then maybe run better establishment candidates. 🤷♂️
