If you don't want to go into a depressive state about the viability of the nation going into the future don't click that link. poo poo's on hold for now but these are the kind of forces arrayed behind stuff like the current health care based transfer of wealth to the 1%. They want their loving tax cuts and they give absolutely zero shits about how many of us they need to make suffer and die to get them.

Normally squirrely about Yahoo news but it comes from AP, that's the first link I could phone post.

This is going to be the sole thing Trump will pipe as a retort to Russia allegations, regardless of ongoing investigations or results, or more ties, or more circumstantial evidence, or literally anything else.

as the world turns
Another WannaCry-like cryptoworm is out in the wild, originally targeted at Ukraine. Looks like it's a variant of an old "Petya" worm with some bonus NSA poo poo thrown in. It has spread around quite a bit and now is messing around in the United States. No killswitch in this one, unlike WannaCry.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/27/technology/ransomware-hackers.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

quote:

In Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, A.T.M.s stopped working. About 80 miles away, workers were forced to manually monitor radiation at the old Chernobyl nuclear plant when their computers failed. And tech managers at companies around the world, from Maersk, the Danish shipping conglomerate, to Merck, the drug giant in the United States, were scrambling to respond.

It was unclear who was behind this cyberattack, and the extent of its impact was still hard to gauge Tuesday. It started as an attack on Ukrainian government and business computer systems — an assault that appeared to have been intended to hit the day before a holiday marking the adoption in 1996 of Ukraine’s first Constitution after breaking away from the Soviet Union. It spread from there, causing collateral damage around the world.

----------

In the United States, DLA Piper, the multinational law firm, also reported being hit. Hospitals in Pennsylvania were being forced to cancel surgeries after the attack hit computers at Heritage Valley Health Systems, a Pennsylvania health care provider, and its hospitals in Beaver and Sewickley, Penn., and satellite locations across the state.

So according to that logic, the dems should just scuttle themselves as a party so that republican politicians don't need to rely so heavily on donor money for election campaigns, which would let them ignore these donors.

It may take days even after the first tactical nuke gets used, even the strategic countervalue strikes against cities could take place over days or weeks. Periods of escalation, posturing, more escalation, trading cities, trying to find the other sides pain threshold.

I'm not that many miles from a major population center that would be carpet-nuked. Only question is which side of the city they land on first and whether I get to think "boy that's brigh-" or just go *poof*

Still think a targeted humanity ending biological weapon is better. We've hosed the planet up more than enough with climate change. Let's just quietly eradicate ourselves and leave everything to dolphins or something to have a chance at being worth a poo poo.

Maine confirms its first case of measles in 20 years

quote:

The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating a confirmed case of measles in Franklin County that it says is related to travel.

The state says the Maine Health and Environmental Testing Laboratory confirmed the case. The last reported case of measles in the state was in 1997.

State epidemiologist Siiri Bennett says the Maine CDC is working with clinicians to identify potentially exposed individuals. The public may have been exposed if they visited several locations in Farmington and Kingfield between June 15 and 19.

Locations include the Narrow Gauge Cinema in Farmington on June 15, in the afternoon and during the evening, and the Kingfield Woodsman in Kingfield in the late morning and early afternoon of June 18.

Other affected areas include Restaurant la Chocolaterie in Quebec, Canada, Farmington's Franklin Memorial Hospital Laboratory and Grantlee's Tavern and Grill, CBS affiliate WGME in Portland reports.

Measles is a vaccine-preventable disease that can cause pneumonia and death.

You gotta wonder if there are worse places to be during a nuclear pissing contest than the UK.

It's that combination of "you might survive it" and "but there's literally nowhere else to go because it's about 20 miles between targets in any direction" that gets me. At least in Aus/NZ/a significant part of Canada and the US if you got out before the balloon went up you'd have decent odds of living off the land.

On the other hand, I live right next to the biggest NATO sub base in the southern hemisphere so the odds drop to 0 pretty quick.

Fallout patterns over the US make for some terrifying no-go stripes if there are enough ground bursts. Granted the typical use would be airbursts over anything not buried or otherwise hardened, but then you look at the possibility of, like NORAD getting hundreds of megatons of ground strikes and the same for a bunch of the minutemen silos all over the upper plains.
