It's a nice video, but if you've been around peacocks much you'd know how annoying they can be. Which is very.

All the bad things that might happen, if Iran leaves the Non-Proliferation Treaty, in one handy place: thebulletin.org/2025/06/what...

It's always a good idea to pay attention to Stanford nuclear expert Herb Lin: thebulletin.org/2025/06/the-...

Now here's a strange one: thebulletin.org/2025/06/unit...

A gift to brighten a dark day.

As much as I know about the US attacks right now. More to come: thebulletin.org/2025/06/unit...

An authoritative assessment that’s more than worth your time.

Turning tropical at the pool, at the Lighthouse Inn, Key West.

🚨 Israel attacks Iran, targeting military leaders, nuclear facilities, and nuclear scientists Read @meckdevil.bsky.social's first report on the developing events. In @thebulletin.org thebulletin.org/2025/06/isra... #nuclearweapons #Israel #Iran

The Bulletin's @meckdevil.bsky.social lays out what we know about the Israeli attacks on Iran thebulletin.org/2025/06/isra...

There must be a uranium enrichment consortium in the Middle East that reasonable parties can agree to. This one should be examined closely; the authors know their stuff. To say the least. @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com

This is important. You should read it. Especially if you are at a high level in the US or Iranian government. thebulletin.org/2025/06/a-nu...

I think I can hear an Ernst press aide slitting his wrists, just offstage. Do you hear it, too?

President Trump has ordered the nation's nuclear safety regulator to "reform" itself into something that seems awfully unsafe. The eminent UCS expert Ed Lyman explains. thebulletin.org/2025/05/the-...

Listen to this smart woman.

@jonatomic.bsky.social is always worth listening to. Several nuclear weapons programs really are out of control in terms of cost. If Republican deficit hawks were serious, they'd be looking hard at reductions in spending on these programs, and at cuts in defense spending generally.

A good look at why SIlicon Valley's move-fast-and-break-things approach is the wrong way to approach modernizing the US air traffic control system.

As Jon Stewart might say, “Now, your moment of zen.”

Morro Bay is extraordinary. And so damn pleasant.

A boondoggle in the making: thebulletin.org/2025/05/the-...

A question to ask yourself: Why are they so happy about lighting $175+ billion of your money on fire? thebulletin.org/2025/05/the-...

National missile defense is the longest-running scam in the history of the US Department of Defense, @joecirin.bsky.social tells @thebulletin.org's EIC @meckdevil.bsky.social. thebulletin.org/2025/05/the-... #GoldenDome #missiledefense #Trump #nukesky

Joe Cirincione is fed up with the missile defense scam. So am I. thebulletin.org/2025/05/the-...

Non corpus mentis.

Facing high egg prices, the Trump administration is considering vaccinating poultry against bird flu. But H5N1 is already out of the barn, having infected ~500 species of wild birds and mammals. "Why we should seriously consider vaccinating wild birds to control bird flu," by Lynn C. Klotz. ⬇️

India and Pakistan reach ceasefire agreement, with US help. But all not quiet on the front. Updated report by @thebulletin.org's EIC @meckdevil.bsky.social thebulletin.org/2025/05/the-... #India #Pakistan #nuclearweapons #nukesky

Ceasefire! thebulletin.org/2025/05/the-...

Good news, for a change.

This story from several years ago explains in harrowing detail why the current cross-border fighting between India and Pakistan could create a globall environmental catastrophe. thebulletin.org/2019/10/how-...

Good context here on the potentially catastrophic consequences of an Indo-Pak nuclear war. thebulletin.org/2025/05/the-...

I grew up in the Chicago area, mostly with Catholic kids. Who were, by and large, incorrigible mouth-breathing ungodly troublemakers. So the idea of a pope from Chicago seems pretty comic to me. @physics94.bsky.social

This is worth your attention, no matter who or where you are.

China is believed to have the fastest-growing nuclear arsenal among the nine nuclear-armed states. How many nuclear weapons does China have in 2025? Learn more in a new video by @erik-english.bsky.social, based on the latest Nuclear Notebook by experts from @scientistsorg.bsky.social.

The U.S. and Iran are restarting nuclear talks.   Experts say there’s a chance to avoid war—with a stronger, permanent deal that closes off paths to a bomb. bit.ly/4iHzAyk

Will America be "flying blind" on bird flu? A key wastewater-tracking program may soon end. Read the full story from @mattyfield.bsky.social, who spoke to @jennifernuzzo.bsky.social about wastewater surveillance.

Here's why there could be no more Keeling Curve in a couple of years, thanks to the Trump administration. As written by a noted climate scientist who happens to be the son of the creator of the Keeling Curve. thebulletin.org/2025/05/how-...

Oh…

Yes, it has. h/t @jfallows.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1946...

I wonder if Miller's presentation was better in the original German.

A lot of interesting and important news and analysis on the home page right now. And most of it you won't see anywhere else. thebulletin.org

Unfortunately, much as I enjoy dry sarcasm, the internet doesn't get it. So for the people who actually read the maunderings of DJT: Eggs aren't down, 95 or 87 percent. They are way, way UP in price. WAY UP! LIKE THE MOON.

A worthwhile string that will make you gasp, if you didn't have a detailed idea of the cost of nuclear weapons.

This letter spoke to me. Perhaps it will speak to you: thebulletin.org?p=122161&utm...
