Donate to Help me pay for my daily living expenses, organized by PAUL GUEST Hi everyone, I’m raising funds for my nursing and personal care and other daily ne… PAUL GUEST needs your support for Help me pay for my daily living expenses

A really great guy and fantastic poet, Paul Guest, needs mutual aid support to receive the daily help he needs to live.

Donate. Buy all his books (I would recommend “The Resurrection of the Body and the Ruin of the World”). Pitch in. Thank you.

Really wish this was the evolution of Big Arch discourse.

Now you’re getting it.

I guess at least until we, as a society, catch on.

They’re going to force us all into solipsism to prove they are right.

Ok. One more. The author also implies that TPBARs are irradiated in WBN cores with only slight modification and no impact of ratepayers.

She doesn’t mention the increased spent fuel generation
And the $20 mil Tritiated Water Storage Tank (paid for by DOE) needed to manage batch tritium releases.

Good morning team.

I'm glad I posted this yesterday

The only caveat I would add is that while the U.S. gov did begin transitioning away from U enrichment, USEC (now Centrus) wasn’t privatized until 1998, and they continued providing enrichment services that meet unobligated fuel needs for tritium production as a private company for over a decade.

Quenching the Nuclear Stockpile’s Thirst for Tritium Most accounts of the Manhattan Project tell a familiar story: American scientists relentlessly racing to design and build the fission bombs that would

“Tritium is the seemingly inconsequential item upon which everything else depends. Without it, there can be no modern nuclear weapons, and thus no nuclear deterrence”

Commentary from a senior NNSA official.

Good high-level overview, even if my work isn’t linked here.

NRC approves TerraPower construction permit

TerraPower had received a construction permit to build their Natrium reactor in WY! While they aren't the first advanced reactor to begin construction, they are first to get the green light on building a commercial reactor, not a demo or test facility.

Albini Sessions (Benefit for Letters Charity), by Fugazi 12 track album

Holy heck, Fugazi just released the 1992 Albini sessions for Bandcamp Friday! Proceeds going to Letters Charity.

she's been sent to the wall

Great work, team!

They’ve had aluminum tubes for decades. Do you know what you can do with aluminum tubes!?

My best guess is that they got information of the remaining U stockpiles and enrichment and somebody did some back of envelope math on “how quickly could those feedstocks become a SQ of HEU?” Somebody wrote “2 weeks!” And here we are.

Reader: having SQ of HEU does not mean you have a nuclear bomb.

Topic for the workshop this summer?

“How GenAI makes OSINT more fun!”

Scholarly articles will start including the authors’ “positions” on betting markets in the abstract so we know how serious they are about their argument.

What they super-liminally demand people call things suddenly unimportant.

That post was a journey.

You know, I do think there should be more public dialogue about nuclear weapons in a world where stockpiles are expanding and arms control is all but gone. But not like this, man come on

Waiting for “THAAD systems were making us soft! We’re glad they’ve been damaged and destroyed! You know what they can’t bomb? These ARMS!”

*flexes biceps provocatively*

We won’t know if Talarico has the juice until Christian nationalists start calling him the Antichrist.

Wow! What a time to be alive.

“Detonation” would technically include a test. DPRK probably decent odds of testing another nuke in the next year or two.

I honestly just realized that a nuclear weapon test would most likely qualify as “a nuclear weapon detonation” for the purposes of resolving these bets.

Would a low yield test count? Another DPRK test? Are they relying on CTBTO data to determine the “winner”.

These odds are too low. Unreal times.

Bless her heart.

@florencegaub.bsky.social seems like a smart follow and also a character from a @greatdismal.bsky.social novel.

Leave it all out on the field. Good hustle everybody!
