Original Title: TIL While traveling to the Tehran Conference in 1943 on the USS Iowa, FDR’s ship was almost torpedoed by the escorting destroyer USS William D Porter. The incident was caused when one of the destroyer’s crew members failed to remove the primer of the torpedo while doing a training exercise.

I particularly love this first one because, as primarily a watercolor & gauche artist, sometimes artists (the great Hugo Pratt, here) make it hard to figure out what the hell art materials they used exactly, in which we observers sometimes just totally lame-out and shout "mixed media, dude!"

But I'm not sure I totally believe it.

Incidentally, I'm a HUGE fan of female leads, and to me, this one kinda recapitulates James Bond's primary love interests in, uh... what was that film? EDIT: It was Live and Let Die, super-fun film IMO.

Yes yes, once again it's NOT BD, and honestly, I'm really not much of a manga fan outside Ghibli. But this collection quite caught my eye, and seemingly, for many Euros, too. From what I can tell, it's called The Art of Mitsume "World of 2," published by Noeve Grafx in Europe.


Ex-libris Azimut, Manie Ganza, Jean-Baptiste Andréae, vent d'Ouest - Hobby Folie!

Sadly, I don't know this series at all (well, what else is new, Johnny), but I loved how this picture plays around with almost a tradition of glam media, but I also Iike how the photog is a sort of R2D2 attempting to capture "Marilyn" in the 'great pose,' you know?

Possibly NSFW:

I first saw this in the American Heavy Metal magazine. It's of course, Moebius playing around with *everything*, such as his penmanship 'hatching-work' (how the lines intersect), the beautiful colors, the panel-layout, and just... whoof.

It's also oddly funny to me... I.e., "Arzach" might have met his eternal doom right here, but I reckon him more like "Den," by Richard Corben. I.e., our collective love for them will just keep resurrecting them endlessly, mais non...?

Note: I've tried to help make our sidebar more easily-searchable for results lately, and we certainly have more some Den & Arzach searchable posts in our past.

That said, you can also just brute-force it like this if you like, via google:

(those caps suggest what you're searching)

Original Title: Should I migrate to a more climatically secure area abroad or remain here? I live in SE Asia, a tropical region which will likely be totally screwed by climate change and collapsed in the next decades.


Asking because although I currently live in SE Asia (Bangkok, Thailand), I am planning to leave the country and move to possibly the Great Lake Areas, or some other more climatically secure regions in the future as I'm also dual American citizen.

The problem is that since I live in Thailand most of my life due to the fact all my immediate family are locals (I'm the only one born in the USA although I never lived there), I don't really have any close connections or any places to stay outside the country. Though, I do have some distant relatives and friends in the West but I'm not close enough to them to just easily move abroad and stayed with them long term.

Because of that, I will have to find ways to earn money to leave the country and settle somewhere else (nevertheless, I don't really have an exact clue where to move either), which due to my neurodivergency (high functioning /low support needs autism) makes it harder for me to achieve these goals (I never really have a proper job except this four month teaching contract which has already ended and a few internships, that's it). Also my family owned a business here, which generates a lot of our income and act as a financial backup for us in case of unemployment. However, I'm not sure what to do with our property in the future when the climate apocalypse struck Thailand and the surrounding countries, killing billions and destroying cities and entire nations. I'm 28 years old. My undergrad and masters degree are in Sociology/Anthropology and Southeast Asian Studies btw. I also have a teaching certificate so maybe I can become a teacher.

I mean Typhoon Yagi hit SE Asia hard this year and kill almost 1,000 in many countries. So as the planet rapidly heats up, we are going to see more deadlier and destructive natural disasters. Apparently, Bangkok, Jakarta, Dhaka, Ho Chi Minh City for examples, are predicted to become Atlantis by 2050 due to rising sea levels.

Actually my sister is doing her masters in Michigan right now. Should I use this as an opportunity to move and secure a land there? Although I really have no idea how to proceed to get there. I don't know what jobs/career I can do. Shall I try to contact and join some agrarian village/intentional communities? But I don't have any useful/pre-industrial skills to contribute as a useful member of some subsistence commune.

Although I have learnt that the Arctic warms 4x faster than the Equator, therefore, it looks like there are no 100% lifeboats in the end. But overall would the tropical/equatorial regions will still be more fked from climate change than the temperate/polar areas?

I don't think the whole ASEAN/SEA including Singapore and far southern parts of China such as Hainan and other tropical/equatorial regions e.g. West-Central Africa and parts of East Africa, Persian Gulf e.g. Dubai, Indian subcontinent, Oceania/Pacific Islands, Amazon/most of Brazil/lowland Northern South America, Caribbean, Florida and Central America, etc. is safe long term due to heat waves, rising sea levels, wet bulb events, flash floods, droughts typhoons, earthquakes including tsunamis, crop failures, water shortages, mudslides, cyclones, famines, hurricanes, electric blackouts, warfare and conflict as a result of competition over resources and lands, resurgence of tropical diseases and parasites as the climate rapidly warms and modern healthcare and sanitation systems collapse.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not glorifying the US or other much more Northern latitude places as being better than Thailand/SE Asia or other tropical/equatorial places in terms of overall safety during the fall of civilization and after, but I think climate wise, the former (the West) is still safer than the latter.
