It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now.

It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

Would you like to be warned about hurricanes, tornadoes, severe weather? Yeah, most people would. Continued science? Sure, it helps us all!

Stop the Dismantling of the National Center for Atmospheric Research
Text SIGN PTAXGV to 50409 — On December 16, 2025, the White House announced plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, dismissing its work as “climate alarmism” and a misuse of taxpayer dollars. This decision is dangerous, irresponsible, and puts American lives at risk. Since its founding in 1960, NCAR has served as the backbone of U.S. weather and climate science. It is a federally funded research center sponsored by the National Science Foundation and relied upon daily by the National Weather Service, private forecasters, airlines, farmers, utilities, water managers, and emergency responders. The accuracy of weather forecasts and severe-storm warnings across the United States depends directly on NCAR’s research, data, and models. NCAR scientists pioneered dropsonde technology, which revolutionized hurricane forecasting by dramatically improving predictions of storm track and intensity—advances that have saved countless lives. NCAR research also led to the development of microburst detection and forecasting systems, addressing sudden violent wind events that once caused fatal aviation crashes during takeoff and landing. These are not abstract academic exercises; they are life-saving public safety tools. NCAR is also central to America’s scientific workforce. Through graduate fellowships, internships, workshops, and open-access modeling systems, NCAR trains meteorologists and climate scientists from across the country and around the world. When a forecaster issues a hurricane warning, tornado alert, or extreme heat advisory, the science behind it often traces directly back to NCAR. The administration’s proposed “comprehensive review” threatens to hollow out this critical institution, fragment its work, and degrade the nation’s forecasting capacity. Dismantling NCAR would weaken disaster preparedness, undermine aviation safety, impair water and energy planning, and leave communities more vulnerable to hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and extreme heat. It would also surrender U.S. leadership in weather and climate science at a time when accurate forecasting is more essential than ever. This is not a partisan issue. Weather does not care about ideology. Hurricanes, wildfires, and flash floods do not distinguish between red states and blue states. NCAR’s work protects every American. I urge you to use your authority to block any effort to dismantle or defund NCAR, to protect its independence, and to ensure stable, long-term funding for its research and training mission. Congress must act now to defend public safety, scientific integrity, and America’s ability to predict and prepare for dangerous weather.

GM! ☀️ What Fed doesn’t want to start their day with a rousing survey?

This one really matters: the Public Service Viewpoint Survey—by feds, for feds—so your voice is heard even after OPM canceled FEVS.

Current feds—take it! 💚

Lot of sites and services are down or out because of AWS. Interestingly enough, there's an AWS "innovate" event on October 23.

Something about future proof your enterprise workloads... or maybe just be out of service for a long time.

The other day Malarkey sent an email. The short of it is, they are removing SME’s from meetings and replacing them with fellow fuck off (Dr.) Prasad. This is all in the consolidation move I posted about before. You can read the wold ball gargling email below.

Maria harvests grape leaves piece rate. She cuts them into bunches & put them into a box on her back. She must harvest 80+ lbs/day or will be fired. This isn't easy as the leaves are light so it takes a lot to reach 80 lbs. A specific size leaf and quality is needed. #WeFeedYou

The CDC is being gutted. Experts are being pushed out. Science - and people’s HEALTH - is under attack.

We can’t do this alone. We need voices, bodies, solidarity.

📍Please come out Tuesday to support. Stand with us to #SaveCDC

Because when public health falls, we all feel it.
Mark your calendars! Please join a rally on Monday, June 9, 2025 at main entrance of CDC Chamblee Campus and or rally on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 at main entrance of CDC Roybal Campus.
