Donald Trump and Elon Musk have left Houston, Tampa, New York and other major cities without head meteorologists just ahead of what will be another busy hurricane season

This is straight-up life-threatening malpractice

(h/t @lisamjarvis.bsky.social )

A map of the contiguous 48 states titled: Thirty National Weather Service offices are without a chief meteorologist Some of these offices issue forecasts for major population centers such as New York City, Houston and Cleveland. Several are prone to hurricanes and tornadoes. Callouts include: Upton, NY - Covers New York City and southern Connecticut Tampa, FL - Hard hit by Hurricane Milton in 2024 Houston, TX - All management positions vacant Paducah/Louisville/Jackson, KY - Nearly the whole state of Kentucky is covered by forecast areas without leadership

From a poetry collection by Mary Oliver, where after a hundred poems showcasing gentle observations on nature and animals, she hits you with this
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Whew! Catching #TheWeekend feels like therapy—because at least some folks in the media are saying what needs to be said. They’re having the same conversations we’re having.

The argument that men transition just to go in women’s bathrooms is absurd.

I can relate to this dude. Once, I had too much to drink & accidentally walked into the women’s restroom. A girl from my daughter’s school said, “Hi, Mr Webb, what are you doing here?”

Embarrassing? Yes. Panic? No. Relax!
