A map that shows how even a small, limited nuclear war between India and Pakistan would release enough particles into the atmosphere to trigger a small nuclear winter that would be felt worldwide.

Fallout Mojave cross stitch

The next Fallout cross stitch project is "Mojave", and those of you familiar with FNV will know exactly what phrase is being stitched here! (Fallout fans who haven't played FNV are just as likely to know it via osmosis and exposure.)

Another dyed Aida fabric to look aged and appropriate to the Fallout setting. The fabrics I'm using are wonderfully soft, compared to most off the shelf Aida that is stiff as a board, but that does make it trickier to keep taut in the frame. Still, there are some nice effects on these dyed fabrics.

During Trump's Term, General Mark Milley Personally Intervened To Prevent Trump Starting A War With China Or Using Nuclear Arms.

But if Trump is reelected, there will be no General Milley. Central to Project 2025 is to restaff the Federal government (those positions not eliminated entirely) with partisans loyal only to Trump, not the Constitution.

A second Trump presidency won't be like the first. There will be no "adult in the room"- they'll all be fired. There will only be yes men, egging on Trump's darkest impulses- or blundering into disaster through shear stupidity and incompetence.

"But how can he do that", you say?

Who's going to stop him? Congress? It can pass laws, but it has no independent means to enforce them, even if Republicans didn't end up holding it too. The Supreme Court? You mean the same Supreme Court who's 6/3 Republican majority voted to keep him on the ballot despite being an adjudicated insurrectionist, and to give him Presidential immunity for many of his crimes?

If Trump is reelected, he will be, as he promised, "a dictator on day one". There will be no one around him to stop him from doing whatever whim strikes his increasingly demented brain.

Studies have shown that a full-scale nuclear war would wipe out nearly all food production in the Northern Hemisphere (and do considerable damage elsewhere) due to the pollution temporarily blocking out the Sun (the so-called "nuclear winter"). Which means that a majority of the human race (those not killed outright in the initial detonation or within the early days from radiation poisoning) would likely die a slow, agonizing death of starvation.

This election isn't just about saving America. It's about saving the world. It is very possible, with zero hyperbole, that if Trump wins reelection, most of the people reading this will not live to see him leave office.

Just watched Threads

And I can't help but feel the BBC put it on TV for a reason considering the current issues in the Middle East and Ukraine.

For those who don't know, Threads is a 1984 British Apocalyptic War drama film. It's a dramatic account of a nuclear war and it's effects within Britain, specifically Sheffield. It's starts with an escalation between the Soviet Union and America over Iran.

It's horrifying. Simple. It is horrifying.

The scene that really stuck with me was the two friends in a pub talking about the escalations in the Middle East and one of them simply saying, there's no point in worrying because they can't do anything about it.

Essentially, they're powerless.

And that is just so true, and how I feel about the world right now.

Sometimes the world feels like it's teetering on an edge. Especially when everyday you see further escalations in the Middle East. And then there are the constant threats from Russia to 'bomb the UK' just because we are involved in the war in Ukraine (thankfully these seem to have died down a little), you just hope that those in charge would never take the course of action to start a nuclear war.

There's a term for it, Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) and sometimes I do wonder if the world will end with a nuclear fallout.

If you do want to be terrified (and are in the UK) definitely give it a watch.

It’s a bit of a lapse how they send Kamille to Glasgow to keep him out of the way of a Colony Drop targeting Dublin. An object that size being thrown at the Earth should be closer to a Dinosaur-Killer Asteroid, make a nuclear bomb look like a firecracker. Nowhere in the British Isles would be safe, probably nowhere in Western Europe.

Maybe I'm a bit thrown off because later Gundam media like 08th MS Team and Gundam: The Origin had more hard sci-fi sensibilities, showed the Operation British colony drop killing billions of people with tsunamis and climate change beyond just the initial impact fireball. A massive crater where Sydney, Australia used to be and snow falling in the jungles of Southeast Asia

Nevertheless, it’s kinda weird how normal Earth looks in Gundam Unicorn and Hathaway, how there’s still an overpopulation problem. After the various massive impacts between MSG and Char’s Counterattack, Earth should be a wasteland, in the middle of the biggest mass extinction since The Great Dying. Maybe that plays a bigger role in Gundam F91, Gundam Crossbone, and Victory Gundam. I haven't gotten around to those yet.

Infectionverse Fic

Sans and Papyrus have just barely been able to scrape by in the nuclear winter that had fully set in, running for their lives in the once-populated cities of the Deltarune District.

Unfortunately, life is starting to catch up to them, and it doesn't matter how much you can persevere when infected monsters, distorted beyond recognition, are hunting you down.

CW: This story is Dead Dove: Do not eat. Read at your own risk- there will be gore, there will be horror, there will be violence.

( Papyrus is also roughly 7 years old in this )

The effects of a nuclear war between the USA and Russia. In this scenario, 200 warheads with 12 KT each will detonate in relevant targets in the northern hemisphere, triggering a decades-long nuclear winter with billions of casualties.

Another piece I finished recently that I'm pretty happy with, maybe a lil more than the last piece. Here is the face reveal for my character Alter, who I play in a Fallout Nuclear Winter Campaign with some friends.

Mojave/Nuclear Winter, complete

Complete except for the beads, of course, which will wait until the entire Fallout Cross Stitch Project is done, so that I can do all the beads at once and not worry about trying to iron the works after the beads are on.

The words "Nuclear Winter" were originally the same shade of gold as "Mojave" at the top. Instead I went with a three-color gradation in fire/orange colors for emphasis. I think between those and the gradient thread for the sand, this really turned out excellent.

It was a relatively fast design to stitch (compared to Overencumbered!) and I think it'll look really nice with the beads.
