Paul Wilson @gonuke.bsky.social · 16/10/2025The interesting logical outcome of this for me is that now the major press agencies can ONLY report based on leaked/unofficial information, which is precisely what the Pentagon was trying to prevent 🤷♂️ 0114

Paul Wilson @gonuke.bsky.social · 29/01/2025While an immediate funding freeze is a blunt instrument that impacts a wide swath of people from many backgrounds, I can’t help but wonder if the impacts are more concentrated in institutions/organizations and their workforces that are less aligned with the new administration - #itsafeaturenotabug 1182

Paul Wilson @gonuke.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Agreed - I hadn't done the math for this level of exposure, but the broader point is that we do not have a strong basis for chronic low dose radiation exposure - but this is NOT that. 110
