I’m not even sure if this will be my DOOMSDAY MACHINES update for the week, but I just learned about this short story by Ray Bradbury and for reasons that will become clear if you look at it, felt it was worth just writing up something very short about… doomsdaymachines.net/p/bomb-shado...

“Plagued by tensions” is some kind of illness you‘d read about in a letter written in like 1845.
///BREAKING/// The original federal grand jury refused to indict the "Broadview Six" case against Operation Midway Blitz protesters, and a second grand jury was plagued by "tension" and arguing over the merits of the case, according to what's being said in court now.

Next time, Team USA should cede their spot to a country that takes the #WBC seriously. If you’re going to be a sore loser, stay home.

I'm getting yelled at by the British on this website and I'd like to apologize. In the words of Lord Vernon Maxwell, if I knew you guys had internet over there I would've never made those tweets.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It's really annoying that even though I'm in my 40s now, I still feel miserable and depressed every day. You should only be able to be depressed between the ages of like 22-35.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

They can’t do it because it points out that they themselves are doing nothing to help. Maybe three of them saying Abolish ICE. The rest are talking about retraining and body cams and QR codes.
Could a Democrat, any Democrat, release a statement actually thanking the people that have been out there doing the fucking work instead of this constant scolding tone for the love of God
Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us

Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

There's one foolproof way to gauge whether someone is a millennial or a zoomer: Ask them how they learned the difference between Iceland and Greenland.
If the answer is from D2: The Mighty Ducks, you're talking to a millennial. Otherwise, zoomer.

![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4)
