Amazing that to stay sane in 2026 you have to convince yourself that a presidential threat that "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" is actually not serious.
@bert_hubert Yep. And they say I'm the one with brain damage... ;-)
@bert_hubert I hope it to be not serious
@bert_hubert as long as adults finally intervene (taps fingers on desk)
@bert_hubert the best documentation of a genocide in the making you can imagirn

@bert_hubert it's taco Tuesday, of in ieder geval dat hopen we maar.

@bert_hubert @mieke I bought a couple of small batteries when Russia invaded, stuff meant for outdoor use on campings etc. But large enough to power LED lights, radios or charge a phone. I remember thinking, at the time, โ€œI might be overreactingโ€. Now it feels like a perfectly sane thing to have done. Weird times.
@sandorspruit @bert_hubert same here. I actually have about half a cubic meter of water as a backup, a solar-powered battery big enough to keep a refrigerator running for a day with energy over to power communication devices. And a solar-powered radio, just in case
@bert_hubert Depends whose "civilization" you mean...
