@level2wizard I really like his videos. His real name is Joseph Hall-Patton (yes related to that Patton) and he’s now a post-doc history professor and historian. I think he does a really thorough, even handed, and when needed nuanced dissection of topics.
I was interviewed along with other scholars and activists about the film “#Oppenheimer" in today's edition of the Chugoku Shimbun, our local newspaper here in Hiroshima.
My general take as reported here is that the film essentially repeats the decades old American narrative of the #nuclear attacks on #Hiroshima & #Nagasaki. It tells a story about Americans and not Japanese people. It is a story about great scientists, great technology and great industrial capacity. It is a story about American exceptionalism, and not about the use of weapons of mass destruction against a civilian population.
Good Work! I was hoping to find a higher resolution at the link for the HIroshima Peace Media Center.. Or maybe text to copy-paste... The closest thing I was able to find didn't have the same people.. If I can cut five or six sections out of a higher resolution image all the sweet old local anti-nuke people in my FB feed might find it easier to read..
Last night's Oscars saw a sweep by "Oppenheimer," a surprise win for Emma Stone, a new record for Billie Eilish, and a near-naked John Cena. Here's our @Flipboard Storyboard to wrap things up.
Still buzzing about #Oppenheimer after their big Oscar win(s) this weekend? We've got you covered.
Dive into this 1963 episode of “Exploring the Universe,” featuring Dr. #RobertOppenheimer and Dr. I. I. Rabi (portrayed in the film by Cillian Murphy and David Krumholtz). They discuss their first introduction to #science and the societal impact of developing the #AtomicBomb at #LosAlamos.
It's the biggest thing to happen to Ballintemple since George Boole caught his death of cold walking home from Queen's College Cork in the rain in 1864.
Das sind die Gewinner und die Verlierer der Oscar-Vergabe
Ein großer Gewinner, ein Verlierer und ein nicht ganz so geheimer Geheimtipp: Die Oscars sind vergeben und die Rollen waren klar verteilt. Die Deutschen spielten auch eine, obwohl sie leer ausgingen. Von Reinhard Spiegelhauer.
