  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.

  6. 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.

  11. 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/

    "Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed but now they are full cities again," the multibillionaire owner of Tesla, SpaceX and X said.
    "That's great, that's great," Mr Trump responded.
    "It is not as scary as people think, basically," Mr Musk added.

  26. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    A consciousness of the fact that war means practically total destruction is the reason, I think, for the rising tide to prevent what seems such a senseless procedure. I understand that it is perhaps difficult for some people, whose lives have been lived with a sense of the need for military development, to envisage the possibility of being no longer needed. But the average citizen is beginning to think more and more of the need to develop machinery to settle difficulties in the world without destruction or the use of atomic bombs.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
