This post was shared by an old friend from the fundamentalist evangelical church that I grew up in here in South TX. I think that enjoying life by taking breaks from crazy news is essential, but willful ignorance is unacceptable.
Also, don't forget to look for anti-MAGA allies in unexpected places.

if you report on "privatizing" NOAA its important to make clear that the private sector simply cannot replicate the data collection and modeling services performed by NOAA. They don't want to run it in the private sector, they want to paywall it so they can sell you something your taxes paid for

“It’s been a longtime goal of corporations that rely on Noaa data to prevent the agency from making the data public, instead of giving it directly to private corporations that create products based on it.”

Hey #sciencesky. Until a few hours ago, @drsusanoliver.bsky.social had a #YouTube channel, "Back to the Science" with many videos debunking bad science, like this one: "John Campbell fails to detect Peter McCullough’s bollocks". Her channel has been terminated
