I keep saying this... both operationally and in research, the situation is still much worse than most people seem to realize or want to accept.
NEW: US weather forecasting is in worse shape than previously known, with 30 NWS forecast offices missing meteorologists-in-charge and about a dozen offices at risk of no longer serving their communities 24/7. www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...

NSF just revised its indirect cost policy—15%.
When NIH tried the same, it led to lawsuits, layoffs, and a federal court injunction.
Changes like this can wreak havoc on research.
MORE ACTION ITEMS TO COME SOON. Stay tuned.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.
He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.
It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

On Monday, January 20, 2025 I was walking around St. Louis and found this statue. It resonated with me, and I nicknamed it "Beheaded Justice - the Blindfold is Off". Wishing everyone all the best as we try to get through the next 4 years...
