Today (March 1) is the 70th anniversary of the #Bravo Test, the largest nuclear weapon test ever conducted by the US, on #Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. It was a radiological disaster that resulted in the irradiation and forced displacement of whole communities.
Here is an article I wrote about how Bravo put the word #fallout into our lexicon.
"The Bravo Test and the Death and Life of the Global Ecosystem in the Early Anthropocene"
#CloudFlare had an #incident late last week affecting their #services. This has been widely commented upon, because #reliability is their raison d'etre (sorry if my French spelling is bad...).
To me, this should count as a resounding success. Even with a #cascading#failure of systems, backups, and #recovery procedures, customers' sites still didn't go down - they lost access to analytics and the ability to make changes, but no actual outage.
Announced today at BravoCon, all future Bravo cast reunions specials will stream completely uncensored on Peacock the day after airing on the network. Six reunions have already streamed uncensored, and this policy will extend to them all moving forward. #Bravo#BravoCon#AndyCohen#Peacock#Television#Streaming

These European cities are trailblazers showing how it is possible to be sustainable, offer a higher quality of life for people while creating space for biodiversity and building resilience towards the effects of climate change.
"On Wednesday afternoon, Craig announced that she had formally introduced the "My Constituents Cannot Afford Rebellious Tantrums, Handle Your Shutdown Act," also known as the "MCCARTHY Shutdown Act," with the expressed desire to halt members' pay for as long as the government remains shut down."
Today is the 78th anniversary of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon on Earth, the Trinity Test in New Mexico in 1945, three weeks before the nuclear attacks on Japan.
There will be many images posted of the mushroom cloud today, but here is what mattered more, the fallout cloud. Dozens of homes and communities were blanketed with fallout, which which also contaminated fields as far away as Illinois and Indiana.
Castle Bravo (1 Mar 1954) was the first hydrogen bomb exploded atmospherically at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The fallout cloud (that they said they couldn't predict) irradiated four atolls inhabited by Marshall Islanders. They knew. It was a deliberate attempt to study the effects of irradiation across several generations. The US govt has always maintained that it was an accident, but given the perfect case study they managed to cobble together it is clear they experimented on the islanders.

For a show that was essentially on its deathbed prior to this, jumping from 600,000 to 2,000,000 viewers over the course of this season, what is Bravo going to do to try and keep the momentum? Are we getting more of the same? The return of old faces? How long will this break be?
As you wrap your head around particles from wildfires creating risk 1000s of km away, and even on the other side of the world, use this to understand how radioactive fallout particles from nuclear weapon "tests" spread radioactive particles all around the world.
They have been found on every continent, at the poles, in the Mariana Trench, even in #Hiroshima & #Nagasaki.
This is the fallout cloud from the #Bravo test in the Marshall Islands in 1954, taken 15 minutes after detonation. H-bomb tests brought these particulates high into the upper atmosphere where they circled the Earth before "falling out" all across the globe. Many remain dangerous for 100s or 1000s of years.
