10 years ago, 9 God fearing Black Americans were stolen from us while simply praying to our God. They openly welcomed a white supremacist into their church not knowing his true intentions. He sat and prayed with them. Then he viciously murdered them in cold blood.

Today in 1952, Los Alamos theoretical physicist and nuclear weapons designer Ted Taylor used a parabolic mirror and a 15-kiloton nuclear explosion (Shot GEORGE) detonated atop a 300-foot tower in Nevada to light a Pall Mall cigarette. Taylor designed the lightweight “Scorpion” device for the test.

A stark black-and-white photograph of the tall and billowing but narrow mushroom cloud from the June 1, 1952, GEORGE nuclear test rising above the Nevada Proving Ground. Silhouettes of rifle-carrying soldiers wearing helmets observing the test are visible in the foreground.

An excerpt from Richard L. Miller's 1986 book, "Under the Cloud: The Decades of Nuclear Testing":

"While Taylor was waiting, he managed to locate a concave, parabolic mirror. After determining the point at which the light would converge, he attached a small wire. The next day, June 1, 1952, he would conduct an experiment of his own.

At 3:50 on June 1, the troops in the trenches were told to kneel and lean against the side of the trench nearest the tower. Five minutes later, Scorpion/GEORGE ignited with a force of 15 kilotons.

At the Control Point, Ted Taylor aimed his parabolic mirror at the intensely bright, fissioning mass. At the end of the wire he had attached a Pall Mall. In a second or so the concentrated, focused light from the weapon ignited the tip of the cigarette. He had just made the world's first atomic cigarette lighter.

The explosion had hurled a mushroom cloud 37,308 feet into the sky and into the path of a 41-mph south wind. Fallout quickly began to fall on the northern Nevada town of Elko. The nuclear cloud then passed over northern Nevada and curved east in a tight trajectory that took it across the northern plains states before fanning out over the East Coast.

On June 5, at 5:30 P.M. local time, while children in Chicago might have been reading the very first issue of "Archie's Joke Book Magazine" or perhaps the more appropriate "Atom Age Combat" detailing "The Exploits of Buck Vinson in the War of Wars," parts of Scorpion/GEORGE were drifting 35,000 feet overhead.

The highest fallout from GEORGE occurred in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, where several hundred thousand counts per minute were recorded for each square foot of land area. ..."

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

It detonated at 2,423 feet with a yield of 27 kilotons (predicted yield was 30-35 kilotons). Below, watch the blast wave hit spectators.

A girl can dream. (The ALT Text is a bit of a rant. If you're interested in the wild ravings of a furious feminist.)

New Yorker cartoon: A couple women at what appears to be a cosmetics counter. One says, frowning, to the other: "For Mother's Day, my mom would like the activism of her youth to not be for nothing." INDEED. As would I. MOTHERFUCKERS seems an apt term for the goddamned Republicans on this particular holiday, does it not? And NOT IN A GOOD WAY. Fucking douchecanoes. HOW IS IT THAT IN THE YEAR OF OUR FUCKING LORD 2025 WE ARE STILL ALLOWING THE PENIS-BEARING PEOPLE TO DICTATE EVERY FUCKING THING ON THIS PLANET? We have access to the same fucking weaponry they do. What is WRONG with us? Why are we still being oppressed by that fucking half of the human race? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT. Especially since we also probably have a LARGE segment of the male GAY population on our side, to say nothing of the trans community - BOTH SIDES. WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE WAITING FOR? Oh. That's right - there is a massive chunk of OUR side that's still goddamned treasonously on THEIR side. Fucking voting for THEM. Selling out their rights, OUR rights. Nobody ever went broke underestimating the collective stupidity of large segments of the FEMALE population, any more than the ENTIRE population. Sadly, as a whole, WOMEN are no fucking better than MEN. No smarter, no kinder, no more able to think critically. THAT is why we are still FUCKED. Human beings are fucking stupid. But come the fuck ON, Bridget - there HAS to be a way to turn this fucking ship around, I'm not smart enough to figure this out, but SURELY between us all we can come up with SOMETHING. Jesus fucking Christ, enough is enough. Offer amnesty to the good ones, and then RIDE AT FUCKING DAWN. Goddamnit. I am so sick of this shit.
