It's worth repeating: the National Weather Service costs each American taxpayer just $4/yr, but creates over $100,000,000,000 in value to the economy. And this ROI has been _increasing_ over time.

Can't believe this must be stated, but the following statements can both be true: 1. NWS provided timely and actionable forecasts and warnings ahead of the flooding disaster in Texas. 2. NWS' ability to work with EMs and other agencies is -vely impacted by cuts and vacancies.

The best team in baseball, THE ASTROS, swept the Dodgers in LA. UNBELIEVABLE. WE DANCE

it’s like christmas came in july and altuve is santa

I don’t think you understand: We just went through the Phillies, Cubs & Dodgers - ALL of the NL division leaders - & ran through them 8-1 with 2x sweeps. We didn’t do it with some unsustainable wild-swinging slugfests either. This Astros team is absolutely NAILS.

We've dropped the paywall on all of our flood coverage at Texas Monthly. Our journalists have been in the field with first responders, former campers, and those affected since last week. There are so many stories that deserve telling. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

.jen rice asked me to chart how miserable it has been to be a weather (or really, science) communicator in recent years. And yes. Using a very detailed set of equations, I was able to graph it.

Tech billionaires: the risk of AI going out of control is exaggerated... Meanwhile, the richest man on Earth Elon Musk's AI platform has openly embraced Nazism and has begun to refer to itself as "MechaHitler"

Let’s see how things are going on Twitter…

If you saw that viral post about a Chrysler demolishing an old Kia, here's the real story: theautopian.com/no-that-old-ch…

Was that another earthquake?

WATCH: Asked Texas House Democrats leader Gene Wu if he was prepared to be removed from office to continue the quorum break. Listen to his response: "This is about protecting what we believe and love about America. If you believe in this country, stand up for it before it's gone."

Very cool of Ford to exclusively share the photo of the new truck with The Autopian, it looks great.

My Mazda Demio plant waterer arrived!
