Currently working on a nonfiction project about cheesy 80s adventure novels and nuclear war. Probably on a watchlist...

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…

Unfortunately this film isn’t currently streaming anywhere.

This is a documentary about The Day After. I watched and video taped The Day After live when it aired in 1983 at 6 years old…

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

Today in 1979, a United States Vela nuclear-test-monitoring satellite detected the distinctive double-flash signature of a nuclear explosion over the South Atlantic Ocean. Although a White House scientific panel later dismissed the possibility, many speculated it was a clandestine Israeli test.

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.

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.

Hibakusha: From Ashes to Advocacy
For nearly a decade, the survivors of the A-bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were discriminated against, ignored, barred from speaking out or seeking damages. From the ashes, they rose to fight for ...

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

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.
Someone in your life has likely used ketamine. It doesn’t make people behave badly. Someone in your life might be alive thanks to ketamine.

Ketamine is an invaluable drug and doesn’t make people racist or fascist. Stigmatize bad people instead of giving them an excuse by stigmatizing drugs they use
I wrote a more personal Substack post today. But as I've seen people wrongly attribute the myriad problems with Musk to ketamine use, I wanted to add my voice to the conversation, as someone who is able to teach health policy thanks to ketamine's benefits. open.substack.com/pub/miranday...

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.
CBP is detaining german tourist for over 1 mo because they accused her of intending to tattoo for $$ while in US. In jailing her to deport, they held her in solitary for 9 days, also kept her from her return flight Feb 15. She's still jailed.

One of my problems with the standard way that "the decision to use the atomic bomb," aside from its ahistorical nature, is taught is that it is always done as a very crude utilitarianism: which would cost fewer lives, atomic bombing or invasion? If bomb dead < invasion dead, then bomb is moral.
