Disasterology: August 2025 This newsletter is a compilation of recent disaster ~things~ that I think are cool, important, or otherwise of interest to people who are intrigued with disaster (broadly defined).

This month's Disasterology Newsletter is about the upcoming 20 year anniversary of Katrina and the Federal Levee Failure and how I think it should be acknowledged as a warning for the near future.

The rise of end times fascism. A long read, but worth it. Fascinating, chilling, and I believe spot on.

I find myself wondering where are the Company of the Ring, the Order of the Phoenix, and the Jedi Knights. Think I think, hmmm, maybe it’s us?

Palpatine has ascended to power, the Death Eaters have taken over the ministry, and the Eye has dispatched its hoards from Mordor. Maybe throw in something about Big Brother, the Commanders of Gilead, and the book-burning firemen. (Bonus points for naming all 6 references).

Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of Earthly Delights, right panel. I've seen this work in person and it's, well, accurate.

Well, here we are.
