Four years ago today, @neildegrassetyson.com asserted on “Real Time with Bill Maher” that unlike atomic bombs, “… modern nukes [thermonuclear bombs] don’t have the radiation problem … not in the way we used to have to worry about with fallout and all the rest of that.” This is categorically wrong.

Of all the things the US government has spent your taxpayer dollars on since 1940, nuclear weapons and weapons-related programs rank third after Social Security and all non-nuclear defense expenditures—incl. WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and every subsequent military conflict.

20 years ago today my friends and I threw a party.

Jon made Vice bring him a certified check for some $ they owed us before he would open the gates and that was a very good call All our friends worked the ticket booths and loaded gear and Ward Gollings helped with the booking and John Humphrey and John Benetti managed the stages

I think it was $25 a day or $40 for both The night ended with me Jon and Mike picking up trash on Ogden at 1AM so we didn't get fined It was really just a small group of us in a one room office It was cool when big things like this weren't owned entirely by corporations

We’ve had hundreds of thousands of downloads in 155 countries (!), and it’s been so deeply gratifying to get comments and emails from strangers around the world about what our show means to them.

I’d be really psyched if you (yes, you) were one of them. And if you like it, hit me up at david at incoming podcast dot com and let’s talk about it.

We busted our asses to make something human and special and hopefully diverting, and I would be thrilled if anyone over here on Bluesky gave it a shot. It’s perfect for 38 year olds, and absolutely no AI was used anywhere.

As corny as this sounds, making art is the organizing principle of my life and the lives of the many, many people who helped make this thing.

I think there are at least two powerful themes that conservative writers handle really well - the grief that comes with change and the struggle to preserve the good against the tide of humans’ worse natures. Modern conservatism is all-in on humans’ worse natures and thinks grief is for losers
