A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

1952 postmarked Atomic City postcard from the recipient's "radioactive friends." 😁☢️

Sometimes the messages are the best parts!

Love this!

I was going to post this French headline as an example of how the US is being seen from broad, but apparently they think of themselves as "predators," so it is not really editorializing

My youngest son writes so well. ❤️

Bombshell: Trailer | American Experience | PBS Watch a preview of Bombshell.

Coming on January 6 to American Experience on PBS: “Bombshell: The Fight to Control the A-Bomb’s Story,” about how the US news media worked with the government to manipulate the official narrative about the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—and how a few journalists refused to play along.

Like Beacon shining bright
The stately walls of old UT
Rise glorious to the sight.

So here's to you old Tennessee,
Our Alma Mater true
We pledge in love and harmony
Our loyalty to you.

So very sorry about such a fine cat. Looks much like our girl Axel who came to us as a kitten under a car. She looked after me well during my hip replacement recovery. Cats are amazing

A paperweight with what appears to be a copy of the Atomic Pioneer medal presented in 1975 and designed by Charles Caldwell of ORNL.

Issued in 1945 this Society of Medalists medal appears to be needed 80 years on.
