Just wanted to say, you finally inspired me to finally complete all the Discworld books. Just finished Going Postal, and now onto Thud! (I kept getting sidetracked because I would start rereading from the beginning every time a new book came out and then something would happen to break my streak)

It's not a buddy movie, @BrokenTimes. It's not a reality show. They are the authoritarians threatening fascism. Stop trying to humanize them. We can see who they are.

For the record, Project 2025, the blueprint for the incoming Trump administration, would privatize the National Weather Service, disband oceanic research (too climate "alarmist") and dismantle NOAA, which is the primary source of hurricane info. static.project2025.org/2025_Mandate...

The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories.

NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION
Break Up NOAA. The single biggest Department of Commerce agency outside of decennial census years is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which houses the National Weather Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, and other components. NOAA garners $6.5 billion of the department's $12 billion annual operational budget and accounts for more than half of the department's personnel in non-decadal Census years (2021 figures).
NOAA consists of six main offices:
• The National Weather Service (NWS);

• The National Ocean Service (NOS); |
• The Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR); |
• The National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS);
• The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS); and
• The Office of Marine and Aviation Operations and NOAA Corps.
Together, these form a colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate ch
The NWS provides data the private companies use and should focus on its data-gathering services. Because private companies rely on these data, the NWS should fully commercialize its forecasting operations.
