"We're so sorry, Uncle Albert..."

I’ll never look at a Dali the same.

"The time is out of joint. O cursed spite!"

That one took a licking. It's not still ticking

😔💔

Americans see this as almost a heroic act; it was criminal and irresponsible—the worst act of war in human history against not one, but two civilian targets. The only thing we learned is not to do it again, hopefully.

The day the war stopped

You might be able to convince me that the bombing of Hiroshima was justified, but you will never be able to convince me that the bombing of Nagasaki was.

It's amazing. Clocks stopping when someone dies is some kind of deep fantasy, from the poem "Grandfather's Clock" to a hundred detective stories in which something in the manner of death has the side-effect of stopping the victim's watch. I guess it sometimes really happens.

Wow Great shot

Eisenhower was against the bomb, then spoke against the military industrial complex when leaving office. Unjust bombing. www.aei.org/commentary/j...

tragic and historic

Someone should give that to Trump, in order to remind him what nuclear weapons do, given that he seems to be so keen to use them that he's having someone rewrite US military doctrine. To be honest, he'd probably have the dial and hands straightened out, put a cheap movement in, and get it gilded.

It was a terrible thing. I encourage people to learn and reflect about the complete context within the world and the war in the Pacific at that time in 1945.

Very poignant.
