when something as simple as a weather report comes off as partisan shit talk to you, maybe some self examination is in order, celebrate the country by touching some grass

Weather is political, you can simply use a sharpie and the storm won't hit DC

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It’s political because the left controls the weather control machine or something

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 5 points 5 days ago

No the government does. Biden had it. Now Trump has it.

WHY WILL TRUMP NOT USE THE WEATHER WEAPONS AGAINST AMERICA'S ENEMIES?! IS HE IN CAHOOTS WITH THEM?!?

Don't you know you can only add weather zones with sharpie? To remove an area about to be hit by a storm, you need a reverse sharpie. Good luck finding one of those on short notice.

There is no grass anymore. Only astroturf

RapidResponse47 is more in touch with the current political reality than you. Weather reports are partisan now. Reporting the weather truthfully makes you an enemy of the Trump administration, and weather forecasters are actively being purged depending on their willingness to lie for the sake of far-right narratives.

The Weather Channel chose to not just issue a weather report for Washington DC, but for a specific politically charged event whose attendance will undoubtedly be used as a measure of Trump's popular support. It chose to warn people, dissuading them from attending, which will reflect poorly on Trump.

The Weather Channel chose to prioritize the truth and people's safety over Trump's political standing.

The Weather Channel is an enemy to be brought to heel.

This is politics in 2026. Go touch grass and watch people get dragged from their houses to be put in a concentration camp.

See that em-dash after "years"? That tweet was written by an LLM. No wonder it makes no actual sense, an AI model has no idea that it's ridiculous to berate a weather report, it's just following instructions to reply with "AMERICA GREAT" to anything it thinks is "unpatriotic".

Oh yeah, the emoji too. Fffuuuck

It unfortunately does make sense, it's just.... VERY polarizing and inflammatory and sensitive and defensive

This LLM took some X patriot's job god damn it

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago

Russian troll factories in shambles.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 4 points 5 days ago

thank god we still have that little tell. They'll remove it and at some point we won't fucking know what's AI except when a moron suddenly says something coherent.

[–] CanadianCorhen@lemmy.ca 30 points 6 days ago

Trump triggered by the weather? never

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 32 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Calling The Weather Channel clickbait somehow the saddest thing I've read, and also the most on brand.

Their boss is notorious for hiding from even light rain like he's made of sugar because he is a spoiled baby

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 4 points 5 days ago

More like he's afraid he'll melt.

It’s awful that AI is taking jobs away from low IQ patriots now too. Where will this end?

With that AI holding their binkies at the ready, for one.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 10 points 6 days ago

Looks like god is pissed tbh

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Rapid response, because everything has to be military coded with these fucking dorks

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 9 points 6 days ago

Um, America's birthday isn’t for another few weeks…

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 days ago

Fucking A. These people are textbook fascists.

That's not thunder, thats just God clapping the GREATNESS of AMERICA!
