All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

We have specific words for employed writers: Screenwriter, Author, Copywriter, Journalist, Critic, Editorialist. But if you write, you are a writer. Don't let anyone tell you - or even tell yourself - that you aren't a real writer until you are paid or published. I'm here to tell you that you are.

I'm only seeing German Bluesky posts about what's happening in Austria: "The Freedom Party was founded by former members of the SS, the Nazi paramilitary force, in the 1950s. It was largely shunned in its early years, but then slowly became part of the political establishment." shorturl.at/V4A1G
A Far-Right Government in Austria Would Be a Jolt, but Not Unexpected (Gift Article)
The Freedom Party and its leader, Herbert Kickl, have steadily built support by demonizing immigrants, while entering Austria’s political mainstream.

January 1, 45 BC: The Julian calendar takes effect for the first time. It was proposed by Julius Caesar in AUC 708 & was a reform of the Roman calendar. It took effect by edict. It was designed with the aid of Greek mathematicians and astronomers such as Sosigenes of Alexandria.

I wonder how many teachers would say their district leadership “cares about their overall well-being “?
The percentage of employees who strongly agree that their organization cares about their overall wellbeing tied a record low of 21% in early 2024 and remained just above that mark in August.

I just finished teaching the Crusades to my freshmen. Our state standard says they "left a legacy of bitterness among Jews and Muslims." How surprised was I to see this in the NYT today.

Dipping into streaming to take the place of reading the news, on Netflix I encountered this German entry in the Academy Awards. One wrong decision leads to a quickly unraveling catastrophe. If the super teacher genre sets your teeth on edge, this one's for you.
