Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Can't wait for our already mediocre ability to Forcast weather gets much worse.
Yeah it’s not like farmers, who produce food, and effect things like EGG PRICES rely on the weather to do their jobs…
N=1 and all, but last night they did an absolutely stellar job with the high risk forcast, and under the strain of this admin no less.
Another goal of project 2025. Soon we'll have the privilege of paying more for a worse service, with the added bonus of the Nazi trump regime getting to lie about inconcenvient news like the sharpie bullshit with the hurricane some years ago.
FYI: WeatherUnderground is basically crowdsourced using off-the-shelf weather stations you can put in your backyard, on top of public data from NASA, NOAA, ECAD, ESA, etc. The only downside is there aren't many civilians in the middle of the ocean, so hurricane tracking will be lacking if NASA and NOAA do get neutered.
For anyone wanting to contribute, here's a few popular stations:
Not discounting that (it's a cool project), but NOAA/NWS are the ones that issue the EAS severe weather alerts (when your phone/TV/radio goes all REEET REEEEET REEEET letting you know shit's getting real). Some severe weather you can plan for based on forecast (snow storms, some thunderstorms), others you need constant eyes on and as much warning as possible (tornadoes).
And tornado season is coming up, so....yeah, buckle up, Midwest.
Edit: Also, I feel your username lol.

It doesn't seem very efficient to cut staff and then force the remaining people to cover the labor gaps while simultaneously sifting through spam emails, but what do I know
