AI is getting clickbaited by YouTube and telling me to watch. Max Velocity is not a "severe weather center". Both YouTube links go to a FOX Weather video about lake effect snow (no links to the MV video). I checked Max Velocity's channel for the video and it was already 12+ hours old. Oh boy.

This is all true and real. But I wouldn’t be surprised if my ISP sent me an email tomorrow warning me that we will be switching over to the Patriot Internet this year and many websites will no longer work unless approved by Governor Abbott’s Office of Internet Safety. Because it’ll just happen.
