I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all.
It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

Has the White House told us that the 4-year-old cancer patient belonged to MS 13 yet? It’s only a matter of time.

Perhaps it is just me as a geography professor, but shouldn't the President of the United States of America know that the European Union is comprised of 27 separate countries.

Hi maga,
What's so GREAT about:
Measles
Plane crashes
Market crashes
Gutting Veteran's Affairs
Joining the Axis of Evil
Decimating National Parks
Cutting medicaid & social security
Defunding education
Deporting non-white bodied Americans without due process
Tax breaks for billionaires?
I'll wait.

For those who don’t know what NCEP EMC does, they run our numerical weather prediction models on supercomputers, and do research on how to improve those models. The forecast on your smartphone is probably derived from a model that they ran. www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/emc.php

The Bay Area weather radar (KMUX) has been out of service for more than 24 hours now. An expensive broken part needs to be replaced and specially ordered, but that may not be possible due to ongoing freeze on government credit card spending, I’ve been told.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

What defines a a week? Literal last 7 days? Last 7 business days? What if I did stuff outside of work hours (which I did)?
What’s an accomplishment? Milestone? General work item? Task completion?

Most probationary (least than a year) people in the federal government were summarily fired yesterday without cause. That, I have learned, includes several of my former students who were just starting their careers because people like fire meteorologists here in the West are just "a waste of money."
