News From The Void

The absolute fear put into us growing up if Sellafield were to go bye bye. RTE even made dramatised shows about what would happen to Dublin if it did :joy:

Think it aired in the late naughties

It was called Fallout :joy:

Fallout (Irish TV series) - Wikipedia.

Just some more of that anti British propaganda they drilled into us. Fear the oppressors :stuck_out_tongue:

Nobody looks like they really want to be there :see_no_evil_monkey: pretty sure nobody wanted this to go ahead.

But maybe let’s not piss off the toddler known for tantrums just right now…

It’s really amazing and bumbfounding to watch the US go from, ‘yes, we are wealthy so let’s join the global community and help make life better’ to ‘oh, all that cooperation was really not fair. You should repay us for all we did’

All the pharmaceutical companies manufacturing in Ireland for the tax breaks is probably the best thing for the world tbh. Considering the mark ups america puts on life saving drugs for it’s own people, it’s a good thing they don’t have that stranglehold on production '^ _ ^ Your Big Pharma problem would be even bigger, and probably a little more global.

I think it’s pretty obvious why Trump wants the pharmaceutical production to return to his shores. Not like RFK Jr would know what to do with modern medicine. Probably cancel it all for a healthy normal diet of roadkill.

Vitamin A and castor oil. That’s all we need…
I feel like there needs to be a movie made,
Government closes borders. Deports en masse.
Starves out and kills off all sick and poor.
Clears all forests so they don’t cause fires but really it is to clear space for freedom cities.
Production begins on a variety of tech and pharms but no one really knows what…
People begin to wonder what the real endgame is
Protests start
Protestors jailed then never seen again
Later we find they were sent to freedom cities for experiments
Then something weird starts happening
People get sick
Mutations start

They are told to take Vitamin A and castor oil.
But only the kind manufactured in one of the freedom cities
Some brave and intelligent set of heroes keeps working to find the truth.
Once found they realize the government is trying to breed an ultra healthy and strong population that can outlast and survive the destruction of the planet.
The heoroes realize there is only one way to stop the madness
Nuclear annihilation
Let the world reset.
What should we call it?

It used to be one of my job responsibilities. Not the big stuff like reactors or weapons, or medical stuff. But industrial radiography, nuclear level gauges, pipeline X-rays, neutron scattering density gauges, were all within my remit.

You stop being scared of it after a while. Which is probably a bad thing.

Too many movies about it and too many real life situations. I remember meteorologists tracking the radiation cloud from Chernobyl.

For clarification for any who dont know, because why would you want to read US news…
There is a growing measles outbreak. It started in Texas in a Mennonite community. It has crossed into Oklahoma and New Mexico.
RFKjr has said take Vitamin A and castor oil…doctors in protests are barely even heard.
It is a very scary time here.

Vitamin A is to improve your night vision, so you can get to the toilet at three in the morning, because of the castor oil.

Seriously, how is being dehydrated supposed to help someone with measles?

BTW, Atomfall is due to launch on 27th March - but if you pre-order, you get to play it 3 days early.

27th of March is my cake day and I’m going to be dog sitting in a friends apartment for two days. Perfect timing :slight_smile:

I saw a headline about detailing the measles outbreak and I made the decision not to click into it, I honestly wasn’t ready for more bad news for everyone there just yet.

Can only imagine what it must feel like to be living amidst it all, thoughts and hope being sent your way in abundance,

These people have no idea what they are doing to their kids. It is so sad. I took my kids for all their vaccines but, after my son got his first MMR shot, he apparently was exposed to measles. Because he had only just gotten the first of 3 shots, he was not fully protected so he had measles from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. He was so very sick. Thankfully he came thru it but, about 6 years later, he woke up deaf in one ear. Nothing could be done. Knowing he has musical ability, it has angered me over the years. Whoever out there exposed my son had no right to do that to him. If they want their own kids to suffer the consequences, that is their own business and I pity their children. But they have no right to expose others.
There. I vented.

At this point, I am not sure what is left to go into shutdown. It basically already is shutdown. :joy: :upside_down_face:

I suppose now is a good time to introduce you to the most despised family in Ireland.

They made a point of going to trumpland and making a ruckus during the Taoiseachs visit, and Elon has been retweeting their lies as if it were truth.

They’re an evangelical family that all went into law because they thought they’d be able to fight their shitty viewpoints better but it always, always blows up in their face.

Most recently Enoch, has been making headlines as a teacher who refuses to stop showing up to the school he’s been fired from (for traumatizing and harassing a child after the school politely asked them to stop misgendering them).

We’d be happy to export them, if you’ll take em. An exchange for Rosie O Donnell maybe?

I kinda want this photo framed and hung on my wall…

It never ceases to dumbfound me when people think they can force others to their viewpoint. No matter which side of the view you are on, you will never make everyone see things your way.
And if you manage to pass laws that are supposed to force people to your view, well you still failed. You haven’t changed anything except make those opposed to your view even more opposed.
