"A data scientist calculated how many fireworks that is per second (354) and how many you will miss every time you blink. (Between 35 and 142.) But this is America’s 250th birthday and Donald Trump’s people are in charge of it. So of course it must be so huge that it is dangerous, irresponsible, unnecessary, and indicates our president is overcompensating for something."

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot Seems like this planned fireworks display should be canceled as a national security risk. Who would even notice if some enemy of the US launched a few of those loitering drones during this absurd overkill fireworks display? The drones could circle around until their operators were ready and then Kapow! The subbasements under the Trump ballroom would be excavated and ready to use. With so many explosions per second, who would even notice? No, call them off. We can't risk it.
