Extreme wildfire danger across the western third of Texas today will spread east on Tuesday to encompass the western two-thirds of Texas.

Salt caves 2000 feet underground in New Mexico hold the radioactive nuclear waste from US defense projects. It's the world's only deep geologic repository. And DOGE says it has terminated the very large office in Carlsbad that oversees it. Details 👇

Feels relevant for Australia whenever the pro-nuclear crowd say: "we can absolutely store nuclear waste long term." It's might be worth asking: do you think any given facility can survive a billionaire trying to impose austerity with an AI enforcer?
