It always makes me a little sad when somebody reflexively spits and blocks like this based on (I’m guessing) not quite reading the post. (I’m pretty sure they’re angry because they agreed with the thread’s whole point and just read the post backwards in their haste. This does not look like an account that’s out there fighting to defend the reputation of Tesla and AI slop.)
Like…I probably didn’t want this person in my mentions anyway if they’re such a careless reader, but now they’re going through the world a little angrier for nothing.

¡No puedo creer que un libro como este haya llegado a ser publicado! La bajeza intelectual y tergiversación de la historia es de un nivel aberrante.

What's remarkable about this agreement is that it's plainly understood (DW is a mainstream state-owned German broadcaster) to be urgent primarily because of the energy dependency on the *USA*, a country that *cannot be relied upon*.

So I grew up next to #Chernobyl and this is, well, TERRIFYING.
A story for y’all: I’m from a city called Zhytomyr, 2 hours west of Kyiv in the North of #Ukraine. We were downwind of the Chernobyl #nuclear power plant when the 1986 disaster happened.
I wasn’t born for another 12 years, but my childhood was filled with stories and the aftermath of it all. Things like:
- My grandmother worked as a head doctor in a hospital and rehabilitation facility exclusively for children of Chernobyl victims to treat the extremely high prevalence of Tuberculosis and other severe health complications. (To specify: these were SECOND GENERATION of exposure).
- A lot of the kids in that facility were orphans, because their parents died young from health problems.
- My uncle’s wife was born in Pripyat. She was 1 year old when the disaster happened. Her parents were told to evacuate while given no information about what happened. They had to pack up their things and rush out to an unfamiliar city with their baby, never to see the rest of their belongings, apartment, or hometown again.
- When I was a kid, it became so common to see weirdly mutated animals and insects that even 2-3 year olds would make jokes about “Chernobyl mosquitos” and I wouldn’t even flinch seeing occasional giant bugs, dark frogs, weird-looking dogs.
- We’d frequently hear of nearby farms having issues with their animals being born too mutated to survive or random outbreaks from contaminated water / food. Crops would randomly fail. People would get poisoned on a regular basis. This all got less common as I grew up.
- My mother still remembers being a little girl, 10 years old, and looking outside from their balcony at the clouds blowing over from Chernobyl that day. People were told to not go outside and to shut all the windows, but not given an explanation as to why. My mother swears that the rain looked different. They weren’t able to go and buy more food for the kitchen for multiple days.
Anyway - nuclear safety isn’t a joke. I don’t understand how this level of carelessness can happen after Chernobyl and Fukushima.

"...the conservative writer William F Buckley Jr’s boundaries for the conservative movement: expunge all antisemitism and “expel the lunatics”."
Buckley also opposed racism and white supremacists.
Yes, there was a time when, while disagreeing with conservatives & Republicans on many issues, I at least felt I understood the basic premises and that we shared at least some values. It's amazing how the John BIrch wing has dominated, and how a reality show snake-oil…

I boosted this earlier: I’m back with a strong follow recommendation. I’m always delighted when I see a post from @… in my timeline. The images are wonderful. I’m sure he takes many photos because the ones he posts are gorgeous, and the only way to have such a high percentage, 98% , of absolute winners is to take a lot and post only the very best - so he's…

I'm decades younger, work in tech, have worked on the development of a mobile phone OS in the past and also think this is bullshit.
I've got perfectly functional phones I can't use any more because they stopped getting security updates.
The way I found to partially mitigate this is to use phones as little…
