Just gonna light this bag of dogshit on fire and walk away from the doorstep, but the people in media I hear saying AI has made them "more productive" appear to be producing less than ever, and worse things than ever. I wonder if they can even tell.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Both atomic bombings, of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, as well as firebombings of Japanese cities were warcrimes. Fixed that for us all. Nagasaki also taught Truman not to predelegate nuclear weapons use. Hap Arnold report created map on left; USAF Impact magazine correlated firebombed cities to USA:
A map of Japan in red showing cities and the percentage of the city burned out by USA attacks. Original is from Hap Arnold report in next post & posted onli e & colored by Alex Wellerstein.  
A map of the USA with 66 or so cities marked and a corresponding firebombed Japanese city of similar size and extent it was burned out written next to it.

In Bari Weiss' Free Press, Olivia Reingold reported from El-Sayed's watch party that "there were keffiyehs as far as the eye could see ... keffiyehs on heads, keffiyehs as belts, keffiyeh-printed phone cases." Not a single one made it into images from Reuters, a local ABC station, or Detroit News.

It is political malpractice for Democratic senators to be helping Trump fill judicial vacancies four months before the midterms. Completely unserious people.

This morning in 1945—at 5:29 AM (Mountain War Time)—about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, the nuclear age began with a big bang. Contrary to later widespread assumptions, the area surrounding the remote TRINITY test site was not uninhabited, and the fallout did not drift away harmlessly.
A black and white, high-speed photograph of the Trinity explosion at 0.025 seconds, showing what looks like a very large, slightly irregular bubble with a curtain of dust all around its bottom edge against a pitch dark sky. A scale indicating “100 meters” shows that the fireball was already approximately three times that size.Another black and white photograph of the Trinity explosion a few milliseconds later, showing an almost ghostly mushroom cloud with glowing tendrils rising from the ground above the very bright fireball.A black and white photograph of the Trinity mushroom cloud with the same 100-meter scale, this time at 60 seconds post-detonation, showing a very large and billowy mushroom cloud rising high into the sky. The sky is less black and more gray, illuminated by the light from the cloud.Another black and white photograph of the Trinity mushroom cloud taken some minutes after the previous photograph and showing the ominous looking mushroom cloud at a distance, its top spreading out and merging with regular clouds. With the sun rising, the sky is beginning to illuminate.

Saying this now, just in case - - New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him - Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan) - Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them
