Effective May 10, NOAA is gone. NOAA protects food systems, disaster preparation and public health, clean air and portable water
When NOAA dies, parts if civil society dies.
This is just brutal. We, as a society, are going to suffer incredibly.

This week @shadowtodd.bsky.social and I explore the also-rans of mid '90s alt. And when talking about Bush's "Machinehead" and STP's "Interstate Love Song" we have to ask ourselves one question:

What makes these songs stink? Break out your best Dunkin' cup, kids, we're talking with Pat Finnerty!
