Pretty sure this is how Roland Emmerich disaster flicks start.

In all seriousness, this is very, very bad. And there’s still far too many out there with their fingers in their ears - and their heads up their asses - ignoring that which is in plain sight.

Because apparently SCIENCE IS A LIBRUL CONSPIRACY!! or something to that effect.

Ayup to both. And having your blinders on, while having your fingers in your ears, and your head itself up your ass is how you end up steadfastly insisting you just had a hydrogen explosion in a steam separator and “only” 3.6 mSv, while reality is that you have 15 Sv and an open core breach.

A proper thing to respond to “SCIENCE IS A LIBRUL CONSPIRACY!!” would be to say something among the lines that assuming that Libruls are always wrong and evil only works if they truly always are wrong or evil…

re: #59 Old Liberal

I wonder if at some point the fundamentalists will conclude that their god is heating the planet as punishment for allowing lgbtq and abortion.

Memorize this quote based on HBO’s “Chernobyl” dialogue/monologue:

“Truth is always there, whether we see it or not, whether we choose to or not.
It doesn’t care about our needs or wants.
It doesn’t care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions.
It will lie in wait for all time.
And it will get you.
This isn’t punishment for LGBTQ or abortion, this is something you willfully brought down upon us all…”
