Earlier today, I was asked to comment on the current state of disaster preparedness in the United States.

That was already a fraught question, even prior present chaos, but then I saw today's headlines. 🫠

"Top Disaster Response Official Claims He Teleported to a Waffle House"

@weatherwest in united states, disaster controls relief

[bdmphoto@eloi.social]

@weatherwest random fugue state as a plausible deniability experiment.

@weatherwest

how drunk was he when this happened???

[sahqon@beige.party]

@weatherwest I'm lazy so I only ever teleport to the fridge...

@weatherwest Look, say what you want about the guy, but given the huge number of Waffle Houses in Hurricane Alley, I think he'd be an incredible FEMA asset if he can harness this talent.

@weatherwest what

[weezmgk@mastodon.social]

@murodegrizeco Of course you can see the waves. Everybody can. Can't you?

I like watching the waves flowing out of my 9el 2m yagi when pumping 160W toward NZ when there's an Es opening. 🤭 @weatherwest

multiple...that's the problem. Multiple. One, I can go for, but multiple? hmmmm.

@weatherwest

They all have that fun combo of insanity and lack of self awareness, arrogance or maybe just being stupid enough to talk about it.

I have known people this crazy, who have pretty normal lives and just 'believe in' an assortment of conspiracy theories etc. However, they usually realise that their beliefs are odd, so that they generally don't talk about them publicly.

@GutterPoetry one wonders how he thought revealing that would go?
"Wow, that's amazing Gregg. You're just fantastic as we've always thought you were!"
