The Unknown True Scale of Nuclear Weapons
In the annals of human history, the ominous advent of nuclear weapons marked a turning point—a moment when humanity acquired the means to unleash unimaginable destruction upon itself. The inaugural nuclear weapons test in the arid expanses of New Mexico in 1945 marked the prelude to a trajectory where these weapons evolved into ever more potent instruments of devastation. Since that fateful day, the world has witnessed 2,475 nuclear detonations, with a staggering 85% emanating from the arsenals of just two nations—the United States and the erstwhile Soviet Union.

Unveiling the Incomprehensible Scale of the Cosmos
Unveiling the Incomprehensible Scale of the Cosmos As we stand on the precipice of the cosmos, Earth reveals itself as a diminutive speck amidst the grandeur of the universe. The Moon, once considered an intimate companion, is unveiled as a distant neighbor with a vast expanse of 384,400 kilometers between us. This celestial chasm, wide enough to accommodate 30 Earths, serves as a poignant reminder of the staggering immensity of space that envelops our cosmic home.

The State Of The World. Content Warning.
I hate the world we live in. I hate the lies we're told. What makes me sick is the fact that we can see the commercialized destruction of the human race and still turn to our youth and say, "you have a future". I hate the fact that we watch systematic oppression impact everyone every day and still tell them to go forth and multiply. The powers that be spit in the faces of those who built their glass houses, and they act as if the barriers make them different. They created the idea of currency and controlled what the rest of us get JUST so they could have something we don't. They have to backslide through the loopholes they pay lawyers to find just to get ahead in a system THEY CREATED! They convince you that you have to get off your ass to make something of yourself when theirs are growing roots from meaningless "meetings", their lips are bruised from the ass kissing they do. Tell me, how can you still live in a system that normalized breaking a child's spirit just so they don't "dream too hard" or "aim too high"? The system kept people in chains and the others blinded by a made-up dream of a nation that wasn't even a real nation, but a company. A company that uses your existence as credit, your labor as a tax right off, and your children as collateral we send into wars they've already planned and scripted an ending to. How? How can we stay? How could you support it? Our world is burning and the powers that be are only going leave it and us behind, on spacecrafts paid for and built by us. They will leave us with fallen rubble while we point fingers at each other.

Killing Technology. Content Warning.
1. Cyberpunk "Cyberpunk" is a form of fiction given birth by the collision between societal decay and technological ascendancy. It was popular in the 1980s but still influences modern movies, television shows, comic books, and graphic novels, as well as music to a great degree. Films such as The Matrix, Blade Runner, Robocop, Akira, and newer offerings such as Cyberpunk 2077 have kept the genre alive. Its roots go back to the novel Neuromancer by William Gibson, the French comic art of Moebius as exemplified in Metal Hurlant (known in America as "Heavy Metal"), and the "New Wave of Science Fiction" pioneered by writers such as J.G. Ballard and Philip K. Dick. Its aesthetic is seedy and post-modern, its world populated by hardboiled cynics, cutthroats, hackers, corporate criminals, and brutal, militarized police. And, of course, the occasional terrorist (er, perhaps "freedom fighter"?) working to bring down the oppressive, dehumanizing system wherein cyberspace (as defined by William Gibson) has become the Alcatraz of the soul.

How Many Australian Minutes is 15 American Minutes?
The other day, I asked Amazon's Alexa voice assistant-that-lives-inside-of-a-hockey-puck to set a timer for fifteen minutes, a rather benign task. Then, as a little joke, I followed up by requesting, "And I mean American minutes, not Australian minutes!"
