Sampled the air at 35,000ft AGL between OKC and Phoenix and then between Phoenix and New Orleans this morning. Can confirm, very airy. #insitu

NEW: Private schools across the South that were established for white children during desegregation are now benefiting from tens of millions in taxpayer dollars flowing from rapidly expanding voucher-style programs, a @propublica analysis found.

Still working on grad school applications (or know someone who should be?) Apply to OU to work w/ a supportive cohort - myself included - on an NSF-funded grant exploring connections between extratropical transition and TC tornadoes! More details below: jruppert.oucreate.com/wp-content/u...

I feel so awful for all of you government employees. I’m afraid we are about to witness unprecedented cuts across the board.
House Republicans are now saying that Trump will cut *more* than $2 trillion in federal spending (check out the look on Maria Bartiromo's face when Ralph Normal says this)

There’s zero chance in hell that Marco Rubio survives 4 years as Trump’s Sec of State. 😂🤣

Somebody at Bluesky did kindly chime in (!!) and I believe I have implemented a code change, which the bot is now running. Exciting times!
I have not heard back from support, but I don't think this limit is what the actual limit is, so will keep after spinning the bots up here.
Well, this may be a deal breaker for the bots here on the skies of blue.

'ratelimit-policy': '100;w=86400'

I didn't think it was this low, ufff. @oun.weather.im already at limit.

What is the difference between weather and climate. This #dataviz shows the "Central England" average temperature for periods ranging from 1 day (weather) to 30 years (climate). This shows the climate signal emerging. Note the varying y axis that covers the range of the data.

Did Texas steal our offensive playbook from last week? Or maybe it’s contagious…

Defense gave up less than 200 yards passing and less than 100 yards rushing. Too bad our offense scored 14 of their points and gave them the ball in scoring position two more times.

Not sure if leaves are changing with the cooler weather or if the trees are dying from the lack of rain. #oklahomaproblems
