53 years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct role in the Vietnam War.
I remember seeing this anti-war PSA back then. Its message is sadly still very relevant today as Trump drags us into another unpopular war.
But sure, Greenlanders, trust us, what could possibly go wrong.
The Day After is probably the most important made for TV movie that’s ever been made, today I watched a documentary about it Television Event. I highly recommend this movie but unfortunately it’s not streaming anywhere…

True fact: I had the fallout map of Chernobyl in my office when I worked in the White House and I probably know more about this than you. But thanks for telling me what to eat you bossy sealion

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

A graphic over a pale blue background. It says "Spread the word!" with a heart and a share symbol below that, then the words "to enter the giveaway." Below that is the art from the front cover of the book "Add Magic to Taste," showing a dragon brewing a potion, beside which is the text "of a print copy of our first anthology Add Magic to Taste."

We made an interactive timeline to celebrate the hibakusha’s eight decades of nuclear disarmament advocacy. They’ve been the moral center of the movement and relentless witnesses to the horrors of nuclear war.

Screenshot from a video from the Catholic News Service showing Vice President JD Vance (wearing a dark blue suit, bright red tie, and a white dress shirt) walking down a hallway in the Vatican escorted by four Swiss Guards (wearing striped yellow, blue, and red uniforms, red-plumed helmets) carrying halberds. Secret Service agents and other members of his entourage are walking behind him. In the extreme foreground at right, a Swiss Guard stands at attention and salutes. In the background at right (denoted by a red arrow), a White House Military Office Marine Corps aide carrying the backup Presidential Emergency Satchel in his right hand appears to spot the television camera and steps out of the procession to duck behind a pillar.

During Vice President JD Vance’s meetings at the Vatican earlier today, his Marine Corps aide was caught on camera carrying his identical backup “Football” down a hallway. The ~45-pound satchel would enable Vance to authorize a nuclear attack if he suddenly became acting president or president.
The pronatalist stuff is about power, not kids. If it were about more kids, they'd be full of kid-friendly policies like universal basic income that includes kids, universal healthcare, childcare, and pre-K. But what they want is women subservient to men, jobs for men, and growth without immigrants.

I have ideas on saving young men, but they're probably half-baked at best.
What I do know is that starting the saving process when they are adult is enormously more difficult than parenting them in such a way that they don't turn into people who are vulnerable to the Andrew Tates of the world.
words I never imagined writing in my lifetime.....
General Sir Richard Shirreff, the former Nato deputy supreme allied commander in Europe, has told Times Radio:
"I think we have to assume, after the events of the last 10 days, that we cannot in any way count on America as an ally"
I see Fort Moore is back to being Fort Benning
Named for Hal Moore, hero of the Ia Drang, the naming was meant to represent a recognition of the generations of Americans who fought in Vietnam
Still waiting on this country to stop repeatedly fucking over its Vietnam veterans

The mail on Sunday headline which reads Now Stop The State Visit for Bully Trump
This is the most right wing newspaper in the UK.
Extraordinary.
If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help
Also, on a purely clinical basis, ketamine doesn’t make you think or behave the way Musk does.
I can't recommend any of my international friends visit the United States ever again, at least not until the Donald Trump/Elon Musk nightmare co-presidency is a distant memory ... the ripple effects of which will unfortunately, probably not end during my lifetime.

I believe the US media would be more honest about wanna-be dictator Donald Trump and the seizure of our government by Elon Musk’s junta if it was happening overseas, so here’s my weekly news roundup in the style of such over-the-top dispatches: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-inte...
I did some looking but wasn't able to find anything about the anti-gravity spaceship survivalists but I'm hoping maybe someone out there knows something that can lead to more information. If so, please let me know (5/5) #nukesky
