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.
I hope the Whalers and Nordiques are one day revived. Along with Houston and maybe a stable team in Atlanta.
Please enjoy these photos of a real NHL hockey game in 2026. 🐋⚜️ #Nordiques #Whalers 😍😍😍

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.
This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Rep. Seth Moulton on CNN: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second & be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We have a lot of problems in America today & invading occupying and running Venezuela does not solve any of them. This is illegal, unjustifed & not in our national interest."

It’s really hard to overstate how much MAGA X is occupying a full-on alternate reality at this point.
This bullshit lore is then going to pop up again when Elon pours $$$ into the 2026 and 2028 elections to “make sure THEY don’t cheat again” or to “stop the color revolutions” that never happened.

Thank you @passantino.bsky.social for stating what should be obvious: Expertise is good, and journalists should be proud to elevate it.
Incoming "CBS Evening News" anchor Tony Dokoupil's mission statement decrying “academics and elites” is a clear attempt to court MAGA audiences who want news coverage to comport with their worldview.
Now, CBS News faces a stark choice. My latest for @status.news www.status.news/p/tony-dokou...

The incoming “CBS Evening News” anchor’s public mission statement decrying “academics and elites” offers the clearest sign yet of where the network is headed under its new leadership.

Whether it’s for oil, land, minerals, or just a distraction from multiple scandals and failed policy... Trump got his war.
The Ayatollah sweating right now as foreign intervention and regime change are very much back on the menu for the U.S. military with MH-47s flying above Caracas.

After quietly having the second warmest year on record, Houston is just quietly checking in with the second warmest January afternoon on record today. 84°. Again. We have at least two more shots at these kind of temperatures next week.

West Antarctica has collapsed before, and it wasn’t slow or quiet 😳
New research shows past ice loss triggered earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis, offering a stark warning that future melting could unleash sudden, catastrophic geological changes.

West Antarctica’s history of rapid melting foretells sudden shifts in continent’s ‘catastrophic’ geology
A picture of what West Antarctica looked like when its ice sheet melted in the past can offer insight into the continent’s future as the climate warms.
