Las cantidades de nieve continúan tendiendo a disminuir en el área de Richmond, especialmente justo al sur y sureste de #RVA (3-4" para áreas como Petersburg, Chester, Hopewell, Colonial Heights, etc.). Los modelos parecen estar estableciéndose en alrededor de 5-6" para Richmond, Hanover, Goochland, con totales que aumentan más al norte y noroeste; DC todavía se encuentra entre 1 y 1,5 pies.
Casi todo el mundo va a pasar a la lluvia helada en algún momento de esta tormenta, comenzando en el sur de Virginia y luego avanzando hacia el norte a medida que avanza el domingo; lo peor afectará el área de Richmond, al suroeste hasta Danville (¡más de una pulgada hacia arriba!) con menores cantidades al norte de Richmond, donde la gente verá nieve por más tiempo. #VAwx #MDwx #DCwx

The US withdrawal from #WHO became official today, leaving the world less prepared for dangerous disease outbreaks. “When that will bite us in the ass, it’s impossible to predict. But there is a 100% certainty that it will bite us in the ass,” one expert told me. https://www.statnews.com/2026/01/22/usa-divorce-world-health-organization-puts-america-at-risk/

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

TIL that there's an #openstreetmap feature that shows #fediverse instances.

Edit: Adding thanks to @jaz for making the map

ICE wrote a memo to get around warrantless entries into homes, and they knew it was so illegal they kept it secret until a whistleblower blew the scheme open.

Quick public service announcement.

The US government is now officially and openly posting fake AI images (both doctored and outright fabricated) and passing them off as real.

While we've seen some examples of this in the past, and there has been speculation on others, it is now openly brazen with two official sources having posted contradictory images.

Example Link - Fabricated Image from official US White House Twitter/X account - Image shows arrested individual as openly crying. She was not: https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2014365986388951194?s=20

Example Link - Original Image from Secretary Kristi Noem's official account - Image blurs out govt agent face, but it otherwise *appears* as a normal image and shows arrested individual with a relaxed dignified face: https://x.com/Sec_Noem/status/2014357826081071513?s=20

See attached for screenshot documentation for when they delete the above posts.

Deleted my post about the sexual harassment I'd received on Fedi, because it was driving more sexual harassment toward me.

Y'all want women on Fedi? Fight that shit. I can't do it for you.

Accessibility helps everyone.

There's so many times I've used touch to sightlessly determine something.

Closed Captioning is helpful for quiet watching.

Text to speech is good for proof reading an essay.

Disability justice is good for everyone.

@TheConversationUS It appears that this article confuses Machine Learning with AI. #DataScience

«Some are proud because they made a lot of money while cutting down a forest. Others are proud because they are planting trees that will produce the oxygen breathed by their grandchildren. What if success was not privatizing resources but instead contributing to the commons, to make it each day better, richer, stronger?»

Been using WireGuard for ham radio stuff for about a year now but just added it to my personal networking situation and it's a game changer. I know some people swear by TailScale and I feel like this is pretty similar. The mobile app is seamless and its such a straightforward setup (once you get your brain around it) that I want to put it on all the things.

Navy vet responds: "If I had done this to an enemy prisoner under my control in the warzone, or if as an officer I had allowed this by any man under my command, I would still be in prison right now. This is the American government doing it to an American."
