Nicknamed "Project 42," the initiative is believed to involve a purchase of millions of dollars in special glass — large enough that it drew attention from employees last year. Limited liability firms linked to Musk and executives are also known to have bought large volumes of land in the area.

Every couple of months you have to come on and reassure tumblr users that they aren’t being gangstalked by members of the Russian government the same way you have to gently reassure a horse so it doesn’t kill itself when it sees a plastic bag.

I've already had one person in the notes claim dropping the bombs was the "only option" to end the war.
No.
Shaun has a wonderful breakdown of all the nuances surrounding the Japanese surrender.
If you do not have 2 hours to spare (or you can't watch it at 2x speed), I will give you some bullet points.
- Several American leaders of the time felt the bombs provided no assistance in ending the war.
- Japan was already defeated. They wanted to surrender but were stubborn and wanted conditions.
- Their only concern was their god-like emperor stay in power and not be executed.
- That was their concern before the bombs. That was their concern after the bombs. Nothing changed in their minds.
- They didn't actually care that the bombs killed people. It took them several days to even have a meeting after the first bomb dropped.
- The idea that dropping the bomb would save millions of casualties was invented *after* the bomb was dropped and was pulled out of someone's ass to cover said ass.
- There was never going to be an invasion.
People think we dropped the bombs and the Japanese leadership was like, "Oh shit! We give up!"
But in reality, we dropped the first bomb and they were like, "I'm busy tomorrow, can we have the bomb meeting on Thursday?"
We dropped the bombs to show the world we had the bombs.
Japan was a convenient and timely excuse to that end.
No no, I know the Yokut have been living here for literally thousands of years, making their dwellings out of cheap, readily available, local materials like adobe bricks, I know homes constructed this way actually stay comfortable and cool in the blazing desert heat, but also absorb that same heat for the freezing desert nights.
But, hear me out, let's import lumber from south fucking America so we can build huge insulated timber lattices divided by pockets of air and insulated drywall, the goal being to turn every non-ground-floor space into a sort of geomantic air fryer that is actively hotter than standing outside in the Mojave fucking desert.
