  1. MAGA morons. Seriously you can’t have a finer example of why the entire right wing is nuts.

  2. >As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida, meteorologists are staying awake for days at a time trying to get vital, life-saving information out to the folks who will be affected. That’s their job. But this year, several of them tell *Rolling Stone*, they’re increasingly having to take time out to quell the nonstop flow of misinformation during a particularly traumatic hurricane season. And some of them are doing it while being personally threatened.

  3. These are the people that would be burning witches for a bad harvest just a few centuries ago.

    I can’t imagine where we could be as a country if Reagan never was elected and Republicans didn’t become anti-American, we’re seriously in the dumbest fucking timeline.

  5. climate change is democrat misinformation, humans can’t impact large scale weather systems, except on election years when democrats who are actually godlike lizard aliens pull out their weather machine to bully republicans, impact voter turnout and harvest lithium buried deep under georgia that can only be accessed via category 5 hurricanes. /ssssss

    hookworms + leaded fuel + defunding education + agitation pundity = that’s how we got here.

    “Democrats need to tone down the violent rhetoric. Now hold on while I send this death threat to a meteorologist for reporting on a hurricane.” ~ Your average Republican

  7. Stochastic terrorism is a form of political violence instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished with indirect, vague or coded language, which grants the instigator plausible deniability for any associated violence.[1] A key element of stochastic terrorism is the use of media for propagation, where the person carrying out the violence may not have direct connection to any other users of violent rhetoric.

    We have had people call and scream at us about jeopardy not being on when there’s a tornado going down a Main Street.

  9. These ignorant MAGA assholes are endangering the lives of meteorologists with their unhinged conspiracy theories. These same freaks and losers threatened Dr. Fauci and his family when he was trying to save lives during Covid. The common denominator in all this bullshit is Donald Trump. He is one of the most dangerous men in the world. I DESPISE HIM!!!

  10. Really…? The weather dude/lady? People are so angry and deluded that they are going to pop the weather dude/lady?

  11. Widespread conspiracy theories about weather….

    16 years ago we’d be laughing at these idiots

    Social media really gave people who didn’t graduate high school the megaphone that they always wanted.

    > “For me to post a hurricane forecast and for people to accuse me of creating the hurricane by working for some secret Illuminati entity is disappointing and distressing, and it’s resulting in a decrease in public trust,” says Cappucci

    I wanted what percentage is the public’s trust in him, and hos trust in the public. Geeze. Poor guy.

    >“Stop lying about the government controlling the weather or else.”

    By the elder gods…. If we could control the weather we would never have go to war.

    But somehow I suspect the IF a logical thought ever crossed that guys mind it would be the shortest trip in North America

    MTG and Matt Gaetz literally just voted against FEMA funding in their states 2 weeks ago. Same with the congressman from South Carolina

    I hate people sometimes. I know it’s not good to hate. But there’s a special place in hell for people making death threats to the people who are just tryna help.
