Re-reading @scalzi's Being Poor while I listen to Tampa's mayor telling her citizens that the price of choosing to stay in an evacuation area will be death, as though everyone has that choice.

That piece is the most real thing @scalzi has ever written.
(Not disparaging his other work, saying that piece is 🔥 )
A social media video said that FEMA blocked a South Carolina airport’s runway to stop flights from carrying supplies to North Carolina’s Hurricane Helene victims nearby. Flight organizers and an airport spokesperson said that’s not true.

If you're interested in NOAA related weather information (and LOTS of it), I recommend the wX app from 
F-droid (Android)
If you want to explore current weather data, like without current prognosis or anything, Earth App is the best one out there (wind, percipetation, waves, chemical composition, different altitudes etc), you can even see the Sub-Atlantic stream as well as Aurora Borealis data.

OK, help me out here. Is there some aspect of human society that I'm not understanding, where information is considered more official/trustworthy if it's presented as a PDF report and not as a web page?
Today's frustration is this report from @osi about Delayed Open Source Publication - a fascinating document, but why is it a PDF?

Is it an artifact of data collection that maps.me seems to drop to near zero then zero in its final two data points? Or did it really do that for some reason I don't know about? Next time, it might be worth clarifying that on the graph itself, eg. Omitting that part of the line
