    At this instant 80 years ago (8:15am August 6, local time), Little Boy—a 15-kiloton, uranium-fueled atomic bomb—destroyed Hiroshima, killing (per US military estimates) ~70,000 men, women, and children, including 12 American POWs. Independent estimates later maintained ~140,000 people were killed.

    A color photograph of a damaged wristwatch on display in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, its hands frozen at 8:15am.A photograph of a shadow of a person living in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, who was vaporized as they climbed the steps of the Sumitomo Bank building while using a cane, leaving behind only their shadow imprinted on the steps (because their body and cane momentarily blocked the light from the intense thermal flash, burning away everything on the steps that was not in shadow).A color photograph of a damaged and partially melted child’s tricycle on display in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. On the morning of August 6, 1945, Shinichi Tetsutani, who was one month shy of turning four years old, was riding this tricycle, playing with his best friend, a girl named Kimi, 1,500 meters away from where the Little Boy atomic bomb exploded overhead. When found in the wreckage of his house, he was still grasping the red handlebar grip from his tricycle. Severely injured and burned all over his body, calling out, “Water, I want water,” he died that night. Shinichi’s father buried him in the backyard with his favorite toy, and his best friend Kimi, so he could ride it and play even after death. Forty years later, in 1985, Shinichi’s father, Nobuo, decided to rebury his son in the family’s gravesite. Unearthing the backyard grave with Kimi’s mother, Nobuo rediscovered the tricycle and donated it to the museum.A black and white photograph of one of the victims of the Little Boy atomic bomb lying on a tatami mat on the floor. It is unclear whether the victim is a man or a woman because most of the skin on the face has been horribly burned and melted, as have the eyes. The victim's right hand and arm appears undamaged (or maybe just lightly burned). The left arm is laying on the mat and is not visible.

    Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

    Elon's politics aside (lol) I don't understand buying a tesla purely because you're putting your life in the hands of a guy who lies constantly and a company that does stuff like this. Why! www.reuters.com/business/aut...

    Tesla faces a proposed class action claiming it speeds up odometers on its electric vehicles so they fall out of warranty faster, saving Elon Musk's company from having to pay for repairs.

    What a surprise. She interviews with Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer who moved her to a cushy Club Fed right after it was over, and it just so happens she did not say anything bad about the person who is in complete control of her life right now. Amazing!
