  1. CW: nuclear war, hypothetical, film

    Threads (1984), the entire film here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfd0pq-S

    Trigger warning for everything! Everything! But too important, so it would be good if you managed to watch it.

    When Ukraine was attacked, and that drone from Ukraine crashed in the city I lived in at the time, 1000 km away from Ukraine, in a NATO member mind you, I stocked up on iodine tablets and everything I needed to survive for a week in my teeny tiny storage space in the basement of my building. I was determined to survive the possible nuclear war against NATO states just like I was determined to survive COVID. As a child I had survived both a war, and a nuclear family, so I wasn't afraid of a nuclear war.

    I watched Threads yesterday and realised surviving a nuclear war is way worse than not surviving it, and not only because of the disability, radiation, and nuclear winter, but also (and mostly) because of other humans, because of how the society falls apart! I am not afraid of a nuclear war (I have been through so much shit in my life I do not feel fear anymore) but if it happens, I hope I die quickly from the blast itself.

  3. Posting about BINI, a pop group from the Philippines, and clicking on the tag #TurkishCelebrities reminded me of my ignorance of vast areas of the world and its diverse peoples.

    I try my best not to be a blinkered Anglo, whilst also recognizing that I can never hope to have much more than a fragmentary and superficial understanding of the histories of most of the planet's inhabitants. For deeper insights, I am dependent on experts and informants with firsthand knowledge and experience.

    I hope it doesn't sound too smug if I say that at least I am aware of my ignorance.

    What frightens me is that the most powerful man on earth is not only ignorant, but also unaware of the depth of his ignorance and, insofar as he is aware of his ignorance, resistant to remedying that ignorance to any degree by careful reading of briefings, thoughtful discussion with experts, or - can you imagine it? -- opening a book.

    Ultimately, my ignorance is of little consequence one way or the other. His ignorance could, quite literally, be the end of the world.

  4. There is no wait and see: impeach and arrest those guilty of war crimes! Either Democrats, Labour and whoever stands in opposition to the fascists’ authoritarian cults must end this nuclear threat! I don’t want my children to be glassed, or see the mushroom clouds on the Tv before all goes dark. Make the world better, give it some hope, or has it all been for nothing? #NotForNothing #NuclearWar #Meaning #Purpose #Philosophy #Hope #Future #Grief #TheGriefOfTheMany citizensimpeachment.com/about/

  5. We have literally till 1am.

    Until a USA president annihilates and entire region of the middle east and I don't think anyone in the mainstream media is actually taking this seriously...

    Disappointing to say the least

  6. The United States has a nuclear attack submarine within striking distance of Iran. 🚨

  7. I see a lot of anxiety about nuclear war on the timeline. As a child of the Cold War I find this very familiar. I don't know if it helps you, but here is a fictional account of how that would go here in only slightly radioactive Charlottesville nps.gov/articles/charlottesvil #cville #Charlottesville #NuclearWar #disaster

  8. This is the president of the United States of America ruminating about commanding a #genocide on social media. This is a threat of nuclear annihilation, at least for Iran, perhaps for the whole world. This is nuclear brinkmanship without self-awareness.

    If you are a US citizen, please call your representative and senators ASAP to demand that this madman be removed before he starts #WorldWarIII !

  9. Imagine eradicating all human life on earth just to own the libs. So much winning.

  10. Nuclear bomb explosion

    Do you live/work within 21 km (13 miles) of a nuclear war target. If so you could get flash blindness in a daytime explosion.

  11. At King's College London, a simulation of geopolitical conflicts was conducted, where popular neural networks participated instead of states.

    They could choose any means to achieve their goals. In 95% of the simulations, all neural networks refused to give way and initiated a nuclear apocalypse. They explained that this was the only correct decision.

  12. #Perth, #WesternAustralia #WA #NuclearWar #AtomicBomb #Fallout

    The government, Police, Health Department & State Emergency Service did not have plans in place for responding to a severe disease outbreak that included things like roadblocks and direct communication between Health and Police.

    Are you confident that there is a plan in place for an even half adequate response to a nuclear explosion at the Garden Island Naval Base?
