I had a few comments on the Trump/Zelensky/Vance dustup. The confrontation seemed planned to me—especially Vance's finger-pointing bit—but I welcome your thoughts. Trump’s Oval Office outburst with Zelensky, annotated https://t.co/3LL4E1b9O6

So sorry, buddy. It’s ok. You can let it all go now. Tears in rain.

[Matt Field @MatthewField2]

Oof, a look back at the long strange trip we've been on. I had memory holed a bunch of this, but @bulletinatomic has dredged it all back up. See how Trump-Biden-Harris have compared on nuclear weapons, climate change, AI, pandemics, and more.

Elmo has been 3-and-a-half for decades because his age is calculated by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists and is adjusted to represent how close Sesame Street is to a nuclear conflict.

Uncle Einstein and I recommend you read and share everything in this issue as soon as possible.

If you don't like @ThomasGaulkin's brilliant cover for the @BulletinAtomic's January issue, I suggest you schedule an eye exam. The stories in the issue are quite good, too. https://t.co/dkRlaCCbU2
