Most of those engineers in Alabama (second only to Massachusetts) are up here in Huntsville doing Dept of Defense work. We also have lots of caves, including one under the hill I live on. Guess I’m good then.

Sorry, Nevada!

Any idea where that came from? Interesting! I’m in the right place to survive an alien invasion…

I dug it out of Bruce Sterling’s Tumblr.

But a bit of innernets pounding gets me to this:

These states are most likely to survive an alien invasion, study shows

which claims its source is

… all that fantastic high-standards journalism source materials, surely.

Thanks for digging that up!

Nonsense. Utter nonsense. The state where your chance to survive an alien invasion is best would be the state least likely to be invaded. Which clearly and by a wide margin is, obviously, Rhode Island.

I adore the word ‘discombobulated’ for several reasons, including its implication that one may be combobulated.

the state least likely to be invaded.

And, as with the maps indicating “most likely places to survive climate change”, I remind my friends that nothing exists in that black hole north of your country. Nothing at all…

I really dropped by to post this; if you do travel north you’ll need your canoe, but keep in mind that you still need to drive it sober.

Only in , eh?

Fair warning, though. I’ve paddled this lake. It’s hard to do it sober. I can’t imagine doing it drunk

Robert Jenrick has cartoon murals painted over at children’s asylum centre

Murals of cartoon characters including Mickey Mouse and Baloo from The Jungle Book painted on the walls of an asylum seeker reception centre to welcome children have been removed on the orders of the immigration minister, Robert Jenrick.

The murals were painted over because he thought they were too welcoming and sent the wrong message.

Staff at the reception centre for small boats arrivals in Kent were horrified by the order, and opposed to painting over the murals.
