*Civil defense in the fallout shelter, which may be seen someday as the precursor of the climate-crisis shelter.

Continuing on… what is to be done?

You know hurricanes are coming to an area completely unprepared to deal with their impact.

A PM from the former government has just been hauled before an inquest into a small scale green readiness campaign – home insulation of all things. So even if the new regime wasn’t set solely on an all stick no carrot radical economic restructure, they still might be a little shy to act. Cause politics. This despite their love of emulation of the US, their hugely militaristic mindset (BORDER FORCE ASSEMBLE!) and the US military being the only body taking climate threats seriously (solely to protect the interests of the Empire, not its citizens, but still…)

And there’s stories already of death-trap bushfire bunkers in the sunburnt country.

What do you do in this window of time available that isn’t prepperpunk cum live-on-the-set-of-MadMax LARPing? Or just Jane Suburban quietly digging a backyard bunker.

We, collectively, survived the Bomb, but we’re still afraid of the sky.

Maybe it’s a chance for new forms of community organization to emerge. Ya know, like the Scouts did from the horror of the Boer War. It doesn’t have to be all Doomsday Cults. It could be… like… underground barn raisings. Or something. But right now is the time to think about this.

Hurricanes have been moving towards the Earth’s poles, at a rate of about 30 miles each decade. As the storms move further northwards and southwards, the scientists caution that we could increasingly see hurricanes hit harder and more frequently in areas where the storms were typically sparse. Interestingly, they also note that the same time period has also seen an expansion of the tropics themselves towards the poles, into the areas that have previously been classified as subtropical.

Which is just awesome news if you live in the Southern Archonic Protectorate with its new “Infrastructure Prime Minister” in charge. Except that government is dismantling everything Green and doesn’t recognize or acknowledge the climate threat. So just keep building roads bro. And cutting funding to basic science. Just keep on truckin in a spy way.

I’m sure Melbourne will get hit last its cool bro.

PS – maybe we get our cool Hexagon from this. Nice space marker.

is especially cute if you’ve read the comics. 🙂

Yes! Definitely read the comics guys, they’re so good, we take a lot of our inspiration from The Winter Soldier comics.

Scarlett’s stunt trainning for her role as Black Widow in Iron Man2

“Scarlett hadn’t really done an action role.And she assured me that she would work as hard as she needed to both get in sharp and do her stunts and learn all that stuff.She spent hours and hours and hours for months.By far the most dedicated actor when it came to stunt work and the physical work.” – Jon Favreau:Director&co-star

and they have the gall to ask her about her diet

See, this is the kind of shit I want to hear about.

Have we talked about Revolver recently?

(via zerosociety)

Not aside from me raving about it to theheadlesshashasheen & victoria-vacuus.

We should.

(via coldalbion)

Lot of love for Revolver in my crewe, especially Wolven and of course zerosociety. You’re aware of the vast difference between the UK and US cuts, yes?

(via catvincent)

Only seen the UK one, so no. What’s the difference.?

(via coldalbion)

Jesus, yeah, I’m obsessed with this film, and the differences are massive.   It’s not just an issue of there being a lot of content cut from the US version, although there is, but the UK and US versions are edited in a wildly different order with completely different structures and endings.  

The UK version is by far the superior version, although I might trade the US after-credits sequence (mystics and psychologists discussing the ego) for the UK sequence (famous mob murders).

I keep meaning to do a write-up summarizing the differences, but the US version is almost a different movie, honestly. 

(via zerosociety)

Fuck. Going by the end credits, I think we must have gotten the US cut down here… Or at least I did. m1k3y?

(via buddyblanc)

This film cries out for a definitive fancut. Even if that’s just swapping the end title sequences.

buddyblanc – maybe we should get both versions and make detailed notes on our own anthropology.
