Feb. 4: #ChineseSpyBalloon Shot Down
The 1st object was initially reported as unidentified until US officials said it was a Chinese surveillance balloon.
The @WhiteHouse and Pentagon said the balloon had violated US sovereignty by entering US airspace without permission.

The @WhiteHouse and Pentagon said the balloon had violated US sovereignty by entering US airspace without permission.
The 200 feet-tall balloon was first reported after being seen by civilians in #Montana, after which it was allowed to traverse across the US, despite the maneuverable balloon passing over the site of sensitive airbases and strategic nuclear missile silos.

However, we are unable to verify the authenticity of the videos.

NORAD "dispatched a fighter aircraft to examine a radar anomaly they had discovered [above Montana]. These aircraft failed to locate any item to connect the radar hits with. NORAD will keep an eye on the issue "a fresh assertion reads.

❗️Update :👀
US radars over Montana picked up an abnormality; but, when they despatched F-15s Fighters to investigate, they were unable to uncover anything; so NORAD denied discovering any object
Locals continue to insist that they claims seeing of flying object over Montana

indiziati di una prossima resa dei conti. Non è un caso, allora, che il Pentagono abbia confermato che episodi del genere si siano verificati già in passato. Un modo per sottolineare che in discussione non è tanto l'attività di spionaggio, quanto lo strano comportamento

Ever since then the weather prediction models have been showing some crazy, downright silly numbers across Canada & the United States. I'm talking record high Mean Sea Level Pressure, both for December & ALL TIME. Here are those MSLP records from @NWSWPC researchers.

For those not used to reading these maps, the values shown are the last three digits of the MSLP. For example, in #Missoula the all-time highest surface pressure observed was 1059.9mb on January 1, 1979. The record for December was 1054.5mb on #ChristmasEve, 1983.

2022 #Midterms Simulation: #ArtoftheGerrymander
A Republican House win will be built on gerrymanders (TX/GA/FL/TN/LA, etc.)
To illustrate the need for fair maps, I'm calculating the results using the 2022 votes, but if every state had a Democratic gerrymander. #ElectionTwitter

Keen to see how my maps perform over the decade; tried to comply with state law if partisan intent were allowed to stand.

Now that the federal constitutional right to abortion is overturned, state policies matter more than ever
5 states have initiatives on the ballot this year that will shape abortion access – a record. Let's talk through them🧵

Si toda la #ganadería de España fuera extensiva, ¿Dónde iría a pastar? ¿A los prados? ¿A las montañas? ¿No las perjudicaría?🐑🐮 Venga, atención, que ¡os lo contamos!
Pongamos por caso la media #montaña aquí en “casa”, en el sur de Europa. Hasta mediados del siglo XX, los paisajes de la montaña mediterránea eran un mosaico donde las zonas agrícolas tradicionales se mezclaban con el bosque los matorrales, los pueblos....
Desde entonces, el abandono rural de las laderas de las montañas ha ido en aumento, especialmente en los años 60 y 70. Perdemos nuestro paisaje en mosaico. La montaña mediterránea se vuelve más simple y los bosques y matorrales hoy forman grandes masas homogéneas.
