    I’m thinking about this Presidential Emergency Alert system and all I can come up with is why is this a thing that’s been built? What problem does this solve? Like what is gained by the president—any president—having the ability to put a message directly into my nightmare brick

        This is the WEA system and it’s been around a while. WEAs are used in emergency situations, natural disasters, and Amber Alerts. They also save lives.

        God, it's sad that "the president" is not in any way synonymous with "a qualified person."

        Nightmare Brick is the absolute most accurate name for this. Also, excellent band name.

        Remember that false missile alert in Hawaii earlier this year? At the time I spent a lot of time thinking about the dual-use nature of alert systems; how they can be used themselves as weapons to induce fear and drive action. 1/

        In Canada we have an emergency alter system that sends disaster warnings and amber alerts directly to phones, but I don’t think the Prime Minister can personally use it.. 🤷‍♀️

        Under a normal administration, there would be at least 3 years before it gets abused for personal gain. Under this pres? Maybe 3 hours while they figure out which of Trump’s hotels to promote.

        Well, I’m confused as to how and when to salute him. Every morning? Only at rallies? Every time I see him on a screen? A message direct from him can clear this up — can’t trust the media on this!

        NYPD has regional alert spam access like that. They've used it once afaik and the effect I witnessed was to create instant destabilizing anxiety among groups of strangers sharing public spaces. So peace and comfort are the problems it solves?
