I think we're hitting the motherload this weekend... NWS says >20" snow in MSP is "all but a certainty at this point"

didn't get my hopes up initially, models been full of busts this winter, but every model been screaming this for a week with remarkable consistency #MNwx

Pardon my french: idiots

Similar to what I said when the east coast ufo panic happened.

And I think this is the technical term for those people?

Wait until you get to the part about how she *bought a house in this school district* and the district acknowledges that but basically says "we'll take your taxes but not let your daughter enroll because of license plate reader data we bought"

Suburban school district uses license plate readers to verify student residency A mom says a suburban school district is erroneously denying her daughter's enrollment because of data from a license plate reader company.

This is bonkers.

β€œAccording to the school district, her daughter’s new student enrollment form was denied due to β€˜license plate recognition software showing only Chicago addresses overnight’ in July and August.”

This is an obvious overreach & bad logic, but bigger picture: this was only possible because we lack privacy protections and every scrap of data about us is collected, packaged, and sold every single day.

A still from a video of a tiny white horse the size of a large dog. Its forelock is braided. It's wearing a little blue vest/cape. It has tiny black booties on it's itty bitty hooves.

I just want to make sure everyone knows Mayo Clinic has a therapy miniature horse named Blue Sky

I've been assured this was a mistake and is being resolved.

Is anyone running 'bots' for good purposes impacted by this? Apparently there are new rules imposed by bluesky, which shut down these unofficial nws bots #weather #sports #racing #birds

Ah, @bsky.app put some new rules in place, which shut down 79 of these unofficial NWS bots. #nws unreal, since these serve a good purpose!

Hey @moderation.bsky.app what's the reason for shutting down these accounts? These have good value!

It seems @moderation.bsky.app just put some new policies in place, suddenly shutting down 79 of my NWS bot accounts. I have no idea what triggered it.

Anyone ( @joshuajfriedman.com ??) know a reasonable way to get to a human and resolve this?

@wandrme.paxex.aero did the La Crosse (arx) and Milwaukee (mkw) nws bots go down? Don't see them anymore.

Huh. Did I just get blocked for this? Don't see the La Crosse bot anymore
