What about the radiation?
By 1955 Hiroshima was a city again. It was not some eternally poisoned glass crater the size of the sky.
A lot of people died but the place itself was not poisoned forever. It was not an _eternal wasteland_.
Most radiation goes away pretty fast.

note that he's still alive only because the bomb went into the crater left by the previous bomb so the blast was partially redirected upwards rather than annihilating everybody involved and probably destroying the camera and footage too.

CHAOS IS CONTAGIOUS
Turbulence in trade is markets so chaotic that forecasting demand for efficient production of goods becomes difficult.
The place where the damage concentrates is food. Food is the anchor of global trade.
Food (fertilizer) is the foundation of civilization.

War is not what it used to be. War cannot capture economic value any more. But it can destroy it. The chaos unleashed can propagate around the world, as fast as a shockwave or a traffic jam forming on a highway. Some of screenshots from a political paper I circulated in 2024.

⚠️ Since the media are cherry picking this, let me explain what control actually looks like.
The land use framework was published yesterday. There was no parliamentary vote on it, yet you will be forced to accept it.
The framework aligns closely with the same priorities around land, climate and biodiversity seen in Agenda 2030 SDG 15 even if it doesn’t explicitly reference it. What it means in practice is that the government won’t need to own the land to increasingly decide how it’s used.
This isn’t about taking land. It’s about redefining how it’s used. And that’s far more powerful.
▪️moves land from ownership to managed permission.
You may still own it, but what you can actually do with your land, and profit from, will increasingly be controlled by centrally defined priorities set by the government. That includes food, housing, nature, carbon and infrastructure. It means your land sits within that system.
▪️A national map.
A single, government led spatial view of England, layering farming, housing, energy, biodiversity and climate targets into one system. Once that exists, planning decisions, subsidies and restrictions will increasingly be guided by it. I suspect so will tax.
▪️land becomes digital.
Fully mapped, measured, and classified via data, including soils, flood risk, biodiversity value and land use. Once land is digitised like that, it becomes manageable at a National scale, regardless of what you want to do with your own bit.
▪️ownership becomes more transparent
Who owns what, where, and how much, will be increasingly mapped and accessible. Giving the state the ability to apply pressure, incentives or restrictions with greater precision. Again, I suspect extra taxes.
▪️At the same time, large landowners and farmers are being pulled into alignment. They will be expected to publish land use plans, report emissions and demonstrate how they contribute to national goals, often linked to funding and support schemes. If they don’t do as they are told by government, funding may not be given.
So, there is no confiscation or ‘force’, just a coordinated compliance with a wider system. Funding will increasingly be directed toward “approved” uses, with growing pressure on uses that don’t align, the behavioural nudge type approach.
All of this is tied to climate targets, biodiversity commitments, and wider international priorities the public never directly voted on.
Complete control and government overreach looks just like this ⚠️

Revising the footage of the attack on our dear colleagues and friends Steve and Ali:
The strike was carried out by an american made GBU-38, carrying a MK-82 500 pounds warhead with 200 pounds of explosives and a 300 pounds of forged steel warhead that was made in purpose to be transformed to thousands of shrapnels upon impact.
What save both of them was a combination of good luck, fast reaction from Steve as an experienced war reporter wearing body armor (should have been wearing his helmet), and the fact that the bomb missed the concrete by some 50 cm and went inside the previous hole and exploded under the bridge, which saved the journalists from the shrapnels and the direct shock wave.

Insane footage! RT correspondants Steve Sweeney and Ali Reda Sbaity, were injured and taken to hospital when the zionist strike on al Qasmiyeh bridge in Tyre region happened an hour ago. This is a double war crime: targeting civilian infrastructure and attacking journalists. They have injuries by shrapnels in their bodies, and they are receiving medical. @SweeneySteve @AliRida_SB

Labour Together paid US Agency to investigate journalists who exposed its late report of donations fuelling Keir Starmer’s bid to be leader. So I did Subject Access Request to see if they had collected info on me.They had but this is what I received: page after page of redactions

China’s state media turned the US-Iran conflict into an AI generated cartoon and captured the gist of the conflict pretty perfectly! Cinematically really well done! A+ trolling! Thanks to @AngelicaOung for adding subtitles!

There is speculation online that the rocket used to target this British journalist was Rafael SPICE 200.
Rafael is an Israeli government-owned company with a subsidiary in this country.
The subsidiary is headed by current Labor member of the House of Lords, John Hutton.

Thank you @NewLeftEViews for this brilliant rebuttal to my optimistic catastrophism.
This is the best article I've read on how the bitter lessons from 2022 inflationary shock can be applied to the global shockwave with Iran war. Please share widely! jacobin.com/2026/03/price-…
Albert Pinto@70sBachchan
agree w Erica. Disruptions mean Countries will rush to exit US-led oil order. Worst case scenario for oil ceos (best for rest of us) is that people permanently shift...what they call “demand destruction“ Iran war will accelerate ongoing shift to solar+EVs+batteries. ie CN winner

Since my account is somewhat anonymous I’m going to disclose where some of the California high-speed rail money gets wasted.
99% of you don’t realize where giant chunks of the money is disappearing to.
The California high-speed rail authority, literally owns thousands of parcels of land that are in various stages continued litigation, tenant improvements, eviction, and constant maintenance.
For example, there are many homes and apartment complexes in the plant path that have been purchased years ahead of construction. Removing those tenants is a slow and expensive process. (let’s ignore the extra stress on housing that all of these destroyed properties are causing)
In some cases, these are low rent apartments with a lengthy eviction process
During that process, the state of California is the landlord and has to maintain the property codes the same as any other landlord. This means repairs, adding smoke detectors, fixing roofs, vegetation management, landscaping, paying off tenants to leave early, boarding up Windows, constant trash cleanups, towing vehicles etc.
But the High Speed Rail Authority doesn’t just have to maintain these properties at normal cost. Every single bit of that work has to be done at California prevailing wage rates. The work can only be done through qualified contractors that have passed through a long series of idiotic mazes to qualify to perform the work.
An average rate per hour (charge rate) for a worker to perform any service on these properties is approximately $200 an hour for labor only. The cost go up for specialized work, like electricians, plumbers, or machine operators.
Properties that are literally worthless are being maintained at huge expense just so the next round of homeless transients can break into the property and cause more damage. For reasons I can’t explain, the process to finally demo and remove the structures takes years.
I’m only mentioning the tip of the iceberg regarding my firsthand knowledge.
Completely separate from those outlandish costs are the inflation caused by the construction. The prevailing word on the street is that nothing is getting done.
The truth is that a lot is getting done and none of it efficiently.
The amount of concrete being poured daily and monthly to build gigantic overpasses for both the rail and roadways is not understood. In these work areas, every concrete mixing company is fully scheduled out and cannot offer building materials for other basic services such as building a house often times for weeks when the average lead time for many of these services used to be one day. And that’s just the schedule, never mind the huge cost increases from straining the supply chain and Labor pool.
The amount of concrete and steel that has gone into the structures so far is massive.
Dozens and dozens of new water wells have been dug just for dust control.
Thousands upon thousands of acres of highly productive tree fruits and nuts have been torn up and shredded.
Utility scale solar fields have been uprooted and sometimes relocated at extravagant costs.
Every type of business you can imagine has gone through either a closure, relocation, or a long-term tenant agreement with the rail authority. In some cases, it’s just a buyout where the business closes its doors forever. The owners get something all of the workers get nothing.
Don’t get me started on how thick the layers of bureaucracy are for these minute tasks that occur on all of these properties.
The inefficiency is far beyond your wildest dreams. In many cases, this is not related to fraud in any way it’s just absolute ignorance, red tape, and failed leadership.
I can go much deeper into specific examples, but I think that gives some of you an idea of what’s actually happening in California. If a rail is ever usable, some portions of the structures will be decades old and already in disrepair.
