Chernobyl kills maybe a few thousand people, and it's major world news for decades.
The Derna Dam collapses and kills twenty thousand people, and I just now heard about it three months later.
Opposition to nuclear power does not come from the danger of meltdowns.— Ben Landau-Taylor (@benlandautaylor) December 28, 2023
It’s just “scary radiation is scary” Boomer nonsense.
I’m old enough to remember when scientists confidently assured us that 800×600 resolution was all that was needed and the human eye couldn’t really perceive any more detail than that.
That was around 1994 or so. Can you imagine living with 800×600 now? Looks like garbage, right? But that was common “knowledge” back then. Common “knowledge” these days is that no one can possibly distinguish between 1080p and 4K. Sure, buddy. Heard that story before. Just as much an absurd lie this time too.
Probably the upper human vision limit of being able to notice any difference under ideal conditions is 32K on a 27″ monitor. Many people, however, truly wouldn’t be able to distinguish anything at or above about 8K.
And those are the actual limits of human vision, as opposed to the clown pseudoscience a lot of faux-scientists seem to pull out of their ass every few years.

It’s easy to be an anti-modernist when you ain’t the one who’s gotta fetch the water, do the laundry, take care of the cooking and raise the children.
By the way, the best strategy for this is not punching the assailant in the face. That’s just gonna hurt your hand and might not even do much damage, especially if you’re not used to throwing punches. And some people like me are really hard to faze with strikes to the head.
I’d go for his legs to put him on the ground and stomp on his face. Fast, effective, and he won’t be getting up again anytime soon. It’d knock the girlfriend down, too, but that’s so much better than doing nothing. The attacker is doing fuck all to protect himself so he’s a very easy target. I’d toast him so hard in that situation his new nickname would be “English Muffin.”
That guy is such a painful-to-watch mook loser, though. I hope she left him two seconds after this occurred.
That’s the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while. Love that outro solo.
I like that when we watch movies and TV shows, my role is often language/slang/subculture translator for my girlfriend. It’s fun.
Iโm getting so mad watching this. How often do you get an opportunity to hit a total stranger in the face without getting in trouble? https://t.co/mZJqNUpVUg

This article gets something really right.
In fact, the advent of digital media marks the third information crisis humans have lived through: the first came after the invention of writing; the second followed the printing press.
This is correct. The Ian Welshian doofclown assertion that the internet changed nothing, meant nothing, transmogrified no human relation, is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard in my entire life. And I grew up in rural North Florida, so I’ve heard some absolutely fantastically stupid things.
As the article points out, we are living through the first stages of what will be the largest information apocalypse (in my view) probably since the Sumerians first started pressing wedges into wet clay thousands of years ago.
And if you can miss that as Welsh has, I can’t trust your assessment of anything else.
(I’d argue that the first info crisis truly came with the invention of language itself, but that was probably more gradual.)
I think it’s funny that a lot of people read me as a jock type now.
I’m like the nerdiest dude in world history. Yeah, I’m not bad athletically but anyone who knew me in high school would find it hysterical that anyone thinks I could be a jock.
Naw, I only look on the exterior like I stepped off the set of a Marvel movie. Still the same nerdy crap up in my gigantic noggin 24/7.
I don’t think these are the reasons. Maybe for a few politicians, but the main reason is that it’s a leftist project to both punish and destroy the West. Anything else that happens — such as regular gang rapes of Western women and girls — they just don’t care about it. It’s not a goal, but to them if a few hundred thousand or even a few million women get their lives destroyed, whatever happens happens.
Still evil. Just a different sort of evil.
That said, along with killing nuclear power by making it too expensive to build, the leftist project of unmaking the West by increasing Islamic/North African immigration to invasion levels in Europe has been their largest success. It’s working better than most of the so-called Right parties or projects. And it’s not even close; the Left will succeed here while the Right will almost certainly fail at turning back the tide.
Europe is over as a project. All that remains is the fall.
