the irony of working harder and longer today on my job today which may not even exist in a few months is priceless. .

NSSL, GFDL, all of the Cooperative Institutes (including where I work), AOML (including the Hurricane Research Division which goes on Hurricane Hunters flights and develops hurricane research models), all gone. Warn on Forecast, PAR, VORTEX, all dead in the water. this is grim.
There's a lot of bad news in the NOAA budget release, and yes there are going to be negotiations over the next few months. But what's baffling to me is the complete elimination of the OAR labs, especially NSSL. Like, no one in Oklahoma is going to stop that from happening?

someone stole the Pepito account to post crypto scams and AI slop :(. it's sad.
With a majestic bound, Pépito’s out the cat flap and into adventure! He’s probably plotting to steal the moon’s glow, burning 101 $PEPITO tokens.Pépito just rocketed through the cat flap like a furry meteor! He’s off to patrol the galaxy (or the backyard), burning 101 $PEPITO.
