Good news, friends!
Continued response from Claude: "What you'd experience: See the flash on your TV screen (nearly instantaneous) See the flash through your windows at the same moment Experience intense thermal radiation within ~1 second The shockwave hits 35-45 seconds later with devastating overpressure However, I should note that at 10 miles from a 21-kiloton blast, while you'd face serious danger from thermal burns, flying debris, and structural damage, "incineration" would be unlikely. The lethal blast radius for such a weapon is roughly 1-2 miles. You'd have a brief window to take cover."

Feeling hopeful about the Phillies' chances
A Claude prompt.that reads, "If I was watching the Phillies game via streaming, and a nuclear weapon equivalent to Fat Man was dropped on the stadium, and I live 10 miles away, would I see the explosion on my TV before I was incinerated?" This is followed by the beginning of the response: "This is a fascinating physics question about the speed of light versus the propagation of the blast wave!"

Jamiroquai tried to warn us
Lyrics to the chorus of Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity": Futures made of virtual insanity, now Always seem to be governed by this love we have For useless twisting of our new technology Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground

I'm old enough to remember McConnell 's shit-eating grin from blocking Obama's supreme court appointment. They didn't just obstruct everything, they RELISHED it!

There's literally no way of knowing which"violent" posts I upvoted, so I guess I had better not upvote anything, which kind of defeats the purpose of reddit
A warning from reddit saying I broke their TOS by "repeatedly upvoting posts and/or comments that break Reddit's rule against encouraging or glorifying violence or physical harm."

If you cancelled your Amazon Prime membership, double check that it's actually cancelled. My auto renewal suspiciously reappeared even though I got confirmation of the cancellation.
A survey asking, "What was your main reason for canceling Prime?" With the response, "Jeff Bezos is a fascist."
