“The Post-Apocalypse Loyalty Simulator is a simulation designed to prepare vault-dwellers for the horrifying prospect of Wasteland living by matching them with the faction most advantageous to their survival.”
“Atom Cats
Only someone as smooth as pomade and slick as grease could get outta dodge with a shiny new fusion core. A paper shaker like you will fit right in with the Atom Cats, baby.”
“They say you can’t tell a book by its cover, but fortunately that hasn’t discouraged artists around the globe from producing some incredible cover art inspired by Kipling’s stories. On these pages I’ve arranged a random sampling, an even two dozen at a time, most of which link to bigger versions. Many of these covers are from my own collection. Others are taken from eBay auction listings, and a couple are from the Jungle Book Collection site, with acknowledgements to Marc.”
This is really quite something…Very interesting collection to browse.
02) Mowgli and Bagheera statue: Priozersk, Russian Federation
“Standing on a stepped pedestal, in front of some typically boring Soviet-built apartment blocks, is a polychrome-painted statue, apparently sculpted in the late 1960s, depicting a lifesize nude Mowgli crouching beside Bagheera (Maugli and Bagira/Маугли и Багира in Russian) as they both peer intently into the distance.”
Despite its condition, this is still quite a nice statue.
“Krystal and Saagar discuss Putin’s nuclear threats in his address announcing annexation of Ukrainian territory and the possibility he uses nuclear weapons”
Yeah, fine…Saagar and Krystal can tone down a bit with the title…And this is about a Ukraine claim…However, let’s not act clueless…The specter of nuclear war between Russia and the U.S. has been floating under the surface, for a good while now. It’s bullshit, that we’re all expected to endlessly put up with this!
There is never any excuse for using nuclear weapons…Those only lead to wide devastation…and masses of collateral dead, dying and injured.
Just to be clear about this…if Putin is at all threatening to launch nuclear missiles…he is no friend to any human on this planet…including his own ardent supporters…
Such an action will ultimately murder just about everyone on this planet [over the course of time]…and probably leave most of the surviving wishing they were dead.
When we get to this point…I owe absolutely no respect whatsoever, to any of these insane assholes that believe they have “a right” to do any such thing.
My loyalties have always been with the people…and never with these fuckers, who imagine some “right” to do these things to the rest of us.
My stance is consistent…You threaten the people…you are not good and should be removed.
IMO…assassination is absolutely warranted…preferably from within, by Russians who understand how dire the consequences will be for everyone…It would be a disaster, if it came from outside.
…I’m not going to expand to a grocery list of other such deserving people…but, others certainly do exist.
In the face of everything…I am never giving Putin props, just because he’s currently pushing back against U.S. oligarchs…Every player in that game is bad…And hell, “we all” push back against the predatory elites…yet “we” aren’t threatening to wipe out life on this planet, as a tactical strategy.
Perspective!
Truth be told…Ukraine will lose this war over enough time…Russia does not need to use nuclear weapons…ever.
How will committing mass murder and damaging the planet, help anything?…It simply never will…It will only compound our problems.
Is having all that death and suffering inflicted upon humans really a worthy trade off, for avoiding shitty western politics in neighboring countries?
…Hell…I would submit that…when it comes right down to it…the people even have a right to live within such shitty western politics, over the alternative of being subjectively obliterated.
Say what you want about modern nuclear weapons…or about targeted isolation to certain regions…When any so called “world leader” starts getting cavalier with threats of nuclear assault…it all becomes extremely personal.
…Nuclear missiles are no form of leadership…They’re just inhumanity, from people who have gone completely off the rails.
Lastly…I literally grew up under the specter nuclear war threat…with the old “take cover under your school desk” drills, and years of chilling news reports…and I am personally sick of this bullshit.
…These so called “leaders” constantly have us under threat, in every way imaginable…
…And now one of the fuckers wants to start implying he may murder us, our families and communities?
Most people have objectively nothing to do with this war…and many have been fighting against the exact same parasitic elites, someone like Putin has the audacity to threaten us over.
No…Putin is not a great man…He’s a fucking insane fool.
“Krystal and Saagar present the news of Brett Favre’s Sirius XM radio show being put on hold because of his central role in Mississippi’s welfare fraud scandal”
“Chris Hedges is among the most incisive, trenchant analysts of the social, economic and political factors influencing the world for the past 30 years. And he’s here to tell you that the January 6th riots were not the great threat to American democracy they’re cracked up to be. American democracy has been steadily eroding since the Reagan administration, Hedges says, and if you think Donald Trump’s arrival on the political scene is what killed democracy you have not been paying attention.
Jimmy and his panel of Hedges and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the myriad ways Wall Street, Big Pharma, weapons manufacturers, Big Ag and other powerful sectors snatched away the reins of power from the American people decades ago.”
