This Time in ’45, Hiroshima Was Devastated

With war such a salient topic of late, it was only a matter of time before we started getting throwbacks from the ’40s.

Owen over at Sinless just sent us the Aug 6th Hiroshima Ginsberg De-Classified Nuclear Test Film, a 12-minute visual assault on what was happening in Hiroshima in 1945, roughly during this time of year.

The video includes a reading of Allen Ginsberg’s poem “Plutonian Ode.” If that sounds like it’ll add some nuance to your day (it definitely added sparkle to ours), by all means, watch. If enough people get all riled-up, maybe we can storm the Capitol together, say around 6?
