In 2017, I collaborated with researcher at Princeton to develop an art exhibit simulating what nuclear war might look like in the present moment, called "PLAN A." For DOOMSDAY MACHINES this week, I have written up how we did it, as best as I can remember: doomsdaymachines.net/p/how-i-dest...
My take: I’ve been thinking about this a lot and nixing the filibuster will be a big mistake for the GOP when they lose their slim majority.
The only reason is to push through the voter suppression bill. I have thoughts on that too. 🧵

Shame on them.
ROGAN: "That's how you start a World War III."
No, that's how YOU -- Joe Rogan -- started it: by urging your listeners to support a sociopath.
Take a bow, Joe. YOU did this.

Donald Trump complained that he is not getting credit for America's 250th anniversary, and that the economy is booming at a detached from reality White House event.
National governments must take stronger measures to stop arms trafficking and allow legal remedies for their harms, an opinion by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights says.
The awaited finding comes as Mexico pressures the U.S. to stop the illegal flow of guns across the border.
again, gop's party-switching op is like pushing on an open door. what the actual F.

Over the last 50 years, $50 trillion has flowed from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
Why don't our political leaders fix it?
They work for the 1%. Many are the 1%.
It's time to elect an outsider.
was not expecting this from Glenn Beck’s interview with A.I. George Washington
Oh yay! Trump solved infertility.
"Considering" = will do it
"WH is considering ending funding for a longtime civil rights election program aimed at protecting the rights of minority populations to vote"
I didn't know about the meme war. It must piss the felon off that he was not called King or even president but Epstein's client. 🤣😂 These people were not our enemies until the orange conman decided to make them that

The Senate just passed the biggest housing bill in more than 30 years.
The House should pass it immediately so we can lower housing costs for families across the country.
Iran has warned that the world should get ready for oil at $200 per barrel.
Energy Sec. Wright is having a hard time spinning while the US Energy Department warned prices are unlikely to recede to pre-war levels until mid 2027 at the earliest, affecting industries across the board.
❗️🇸🇪Swedish Coast Guard has detained a vessel from 🇷🇺Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” in its territorial waters for the second time this week. The name of the ship is Sea Owl 1.
The difference between a true leader. A true leader works for everyone not just members of their party

Wow, sounds like a great deal. Like Google (which is now free), but you pay for each search.
Focus on the war centers on oil disruption, but LNG faces a parallel risk. Taiwan relies on LNG shipments passing through the Strait of Hormuz to power semiconductor production. Any disruption could threaten global supply chains and drive higher prices for electronics worldwide.
beginning to suspect we could run this headline every day for the foreseeable future
Contrary to last week Swedish navy seem to be supporting the ongoing operation against shadow tanker SEA OWL 1 9321172.
An unknown SE warship has been doing a ready loop south of the ongoing operation the last hours. There is possibly another one west.

Idea: mandatory retirement age for Congress equivalent to the average U.S. life expectancy (79) so they actually care about improving it.
The countries that Americans like all feel dissed by Trump. As a result the likes are not reciprocated.
Trump tried to downplay Americans’ concerns about rising oil and gas prices, claiming that the price increases would somehow benefit the U.S. saying, “When oil prices go up, we make a lot of money.” Higher prices for oil will likely only benefit oil and gas producers.
