‘The word fuck’

‘Say it loudly and proudly!’

‘What will future generations condemn us for?’

‘Here are four contenders for future moral condemnation: Our prison system; industrial meat production; the institutionalized and isolated elderly; the environment’

Often I just look at the news and wonder how fucking stupid we’re going to look to future generations.

We have a lot to answer for. I found a great breakdown in The Washington Post. Read it here.

Above – just to contrast – is Walt Disney’s original plan for EPCOT, outlined in a 1966 short film. Made a couple months before Disney’s death.

Testing nukes, a record

‘Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2,053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998.’

Over the years, the US has set off over a thousand nukes. Something I never really knew.

Skip thru to the early 1960s and the multiples of blasts end up looking like Christmas lights.
