I’ve enjoyed this series. It’s not super deep and is often super juvenile, but as it’s evolved it’s done a second to none job of showing how a lot of seemingly individual challenges are actually structural and require a "win together or die alone" solidarity to fix. Great article w/ S-tier photo.

This guy is cool as hell.
The labyrinthine investigation now centres on whether Montclair, employed at the Marie and Louis Pasteur University, a teacher training college in Besançon, used the fake medal and a "doctorate" from the University of Philology and Education in the US to obtain a promotion and pay rise.

Until 2015, when an article appeared in his local newspaper claiming he was about to win the equivalent of a Nobel prize or Fields medal, Montaclair was an unremarkable teaching instructor who liked to write fantasy books, many about vampires, in his spare time.

I am unfortunately reminded of this passage from The 2020 Commission Report by @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social
The pilot was racing to get the plane up high enough, and out far enough over the ocean, to ensure a safe distance from any nuclear explosion. He also directed everyone on board to close the aircraft's window shades so as not to be blinded by the flash.

The president's blind was still up when, at 12:48 PM, a 200-kiloton thermonuclear weapon detonated over Jupiter, Florida. By chance, he escaped being blinded, but it was due to more than luck that Air Force One itself survived. The plane was designed to be far more survivable in a nuclear environment than any commercial airliner, and the pilot had, in any event, gotten the aircraft far enough away from the epicenter of the blast.

After the flash caught his eye, President Trump looked out the window, watching the fireball form slowly and rise up into the atmosphere. He observed the scene for a few seconds before the pilot banked the plane hard and headed farther out to sea.

"The president just said, 'Absolutely beautiful," recalled a staffer. "I started to cry."

Is this hell?

In what sense?

The present moment is both eternal and painful
In Hell, there is relief in utter helplessness. Here, our actions have consequences for both ourselves and others

Truly, it is worse
