The government has a webpage specifically dedicated to a storm surge simulation, where New Orleans is flooded by a Category 4 storm.


Sure, there is NO WAY they could have predicted this.

Back in the day I kinda dismissed this piece on account of thinking the source needed to dial down on the tinfoil. I assumed there was a fair amount of conjecture in the reporting.

However, after reading this troubling first-person narrative (with lots of photographs) of an attempt to deliver goods to a FEMA camp deep in the woods, I am starting to reconsider. Make sure you read all the way.

Dear livejournal genie,

There is some movie that came out last (not this) summer. I have no idea what it was called except that the title involved numbers. Because sometimes pop culture referents get trasposed in my head like post-its stuck onto the wrong objects, for some time I remembered it as being 2046, which is obviously not the case for many reasons, first and foremost being the fact that it got released last summer. Then I thought it was, like, Ladder 49 or something, which turned out to be some totally other movie. So what the hell was that movie? I remember wanting to see it, because it seemed to be The Sort of Sci-Fi That I Like, but that summer was so crazy I didn't get around to it. All I remember, from the previews, is that it was supposed to be some kind of futuristic dystpoia (?), maybe something with identity-switching, and the one shot I remember from the preview was of some extremely tall thin transparent side of the building or ladder or something... Does anyone know what I am talking about?

[ON EDIT]: it WAS CODE 46. thank you, atheist_goat and everyone else.
