Of course they are not showing it. They have too many "Democrats are in disarray" segments to broadcast.

I was radicalized by reading all those banned books as a teen during my high-school years. Most were required reading in English class.

At the very best, they might be able to stop the bleeding. Where is our Project 2028? Blue states should start organizing together. There needs to be a plan in place to nullify SCOTUS, who will stop any progress. They will pretzel-logic taking away the same powers they gave to Trump.

Yes, besides the temperature change, fish fry were killed by impingement as they got sucked through the pipes. The facility was conceived when the Hudson was considered a "dead river", so at first this was no concern.
Gene (@gsanta5.bsky.social) reply parent
The company in charge of storing the fuel rods and water wanted to dump the water into the Hudson! Fortunately, that was stopped.

My opinion is based on fact: The fact that I live near Indian Point. I was somewhat active in helping getting it shut down. Most people in my area wanted it decommissioned.
Gene (@gsanta5.bsky.social) reply parent
I can see you are knee deep in this pov.
Gene (@gsanta5.bsky.social) reply parent
It's not nonsense. The plant was operational long past the time it was supposed to be decommissioned. The other problem is the population living in the area had increased to a size that never could be evacuated.

This sort of thing is happening all over. In Europe as well. However, I feel some degree of panic is justified. Terms such as "pause" or "temporary" have a history of morphing into something more ominous.

Thank you. I have a BA in Anthropology, which is something I'm proud of. I don't understand (well, maybe I do) why anthropology is often a target. I guess trying to understand different cultures or societies is a bad thing for certain people.

"Attack of the 50ft Woman" is truly a great movie. Where to begin? The music composed for the film, ships powered by crystals (dilithium, anyone?), not so subtle feminist messaging vs over the top chauvinism, and effects goofs (double exposure and that Roman costume!). I never get tired of it.
