I remember hearing a while back about how the temperature monitors were moved from, say, a field to something like an asphalt-coated parking lot where readings would register significantly higher than they used to in the same area. This would be around the earlier (2016) timeframe if I had to guess. I guess the idea was to show a trend of higher temps, “global warming” (allegedly). I didn’t notice so much the lower reported temps, but it makes sense since the beasts pivoted from “global cooling” to “global warming” and then to “climate change”.
More recently (yes, since 2024) I’ve noticed that the TWC information is inaccurate in the specific areas I have direct information from. I speak with family members in different parts of the country and we usually discuss current temperatures at some point. They’ll be reading off their own outdoor thermometer and it will be significantly (5-10 degrees or so) different/lower than what TWC says it is there. Recently I commented to a family member that TWC is simply lying now.
It seems IBM may have acquired an organization that had been infested by woke turds and now has divested from that bad acquisition. I remember, like you, wondering why they’d acquired something like that as it didn’t make sense regardless of portfolio diversification. Ginni Rometty was CEO at the time of the acquisition and I remember seeing her in an interview with Jim Cramer. It was the weirdest damn thing as JC was asking her normal questions and she gave off the vibe like she was a captured person, almost terrified. CEOs are usually self-confident, spewing out the corporate buzzwords in interviews; this was not that at all. I can’t locate that particular interview, pretty sure it was a Mad Money segment. I’ve seen other of GR’s interviews and she’s fine, but that one was bizarre.
It’s a shame because, historically, TWC used to be pretty good. You know what they say — “Everything woke turns to sh!t.” If TWC can get rid of the woke turds and clean up their act they may be able to regain credibility as they have pretty good apps.
