Ah now this I find a bit problematic.https://twitter.com/wellerstein/status/662701271938396163 …

@AnnaNReser Whether you love or hate the bomb, it's important to be reminded that it's out there!

.@wellerstein well sure, but the medium is the message, after all, and I think you picked a problematic medium.

@AnnaNReser Surely true — but there is little to do with nukes that is not problematic in one way or another.

.@wellerstein eh, that's a cop out. If you of all people aren't going to be critical about representations of nuclear history, who is?

@AnnaNReser I think it's a fairly complex little piece of cultural work if I do say so myself. I do put thought into these things.

@wellerstein I see what you're getting at - it's a good impulse I just don't think you can overcome the banality of the calendar format.

@AnnaNReser My major efforts are always about riding that line, because it's the only way anything gets beyond academic circles.
