The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is holding a "public health grand round" at its Roybal campus in Atlanta, Georgia. The topic is "Public Health Response to a Nuclear Detonation":
The CDC is holding a session January 16 to discuss personal safety measures and the training of response teams "on a federal, state, and local level to prepare for nuclear detonation."
The meeting, part of the agency's monthly Public Health Grand Rounds, will include presentations like "Preparing for the Unthinkable" and "Roadmap to Radiation Preparedness," and it will be held at the CDC's headquarters in Atlanta. "Grand rounds" are a type of meeting or symposium in which members of a public health community come together to discuss topics of interest or public importance.
This isn't the first time in recent months that official entities have informed the public about the consequences of a possible nuclear strike. In August, amid escalating nuclear rhetoric from North Korea, Guam's Homeland Security and Office of Civil Defense released a two-page fact sheet about what to do in the case of a nuclear event. And in December, Hawaii started monthly testing of a nuclear warning siren system -- the first such tests since the end of the Cold War.
It had been planned in April and has nothing at all to do with any particular statements or tweets.
Also at Time.

Wow! I see you're dancing with your bootyass as you please like corn on peas in your raw living room, in utter defiance of the wizard puppet's order that you abstain from going into that room! Huh, I think I just heard someone angrily scream "I told you not to go in the living room!" Now I'm hearing an ominous voice chanting "Caves of steel... pickles are ants..." without end, the echoes of which are emanating from the deepest reaches of your asshole. What is it? It sounds like it might be some kind of spell, but to what end? What! Your ass tickles horribly!? Such a thing! This tickle... fades away your cheeks...!
