The Russians want to put nukes in space. The only way to stop them is to support Ukraine and pass the latest 60 billion Ukraine spending bill. Also mail in voting and of course we all know Trump does Putins bidding.

In reality nukes in space is a very bad idea, but what are we going to stop Russia, put sanctions on Russia? Give money to Ukraine. One could even claim that a cornered animal is very dangerous so let's just keep pushing me and see what they will do next. I think we should just go to war the sooner the better.

So a few funny things from friends and family.

(1) I thought we already have lots of nuclear weapons in space? There is treaty? Why is this a big deal.

(2) Nukes are not 80 year tech, come on how big of threat they they can be after all this time. We need to worry about gain of function
AI killing everyone. Saying nuclear weapons are dangerous is like saying cannonballs are dangerous.

(3) I grew up after the cold war, the idea of nukes flying around killing everyone just does not resonate with many people. I just do not see this as very scary not like fake news, capitalism or not taking a vaccine.

Putin announced a cancer vaccine as well -- maybe his plan is to bankrupt social security, by having Americans live longer, just as we bankrupted the Soviet Union with SDI back in the Reagan years:

The low oil prices also bankrupted them too, and led to the Chernobyl disaster since they were eager to build nuclear plants so they could export more oil:

Alexie Navalny is dead, it is all over the news. Putin did this, are you starting to get this. Russia is the biggest threat to the free world right now. Massive Ukraine aid will help but we
need to get real and do what has to be done and get rid of Putin. We better do this before Nov
because we all know Russia is going to interfere and is going to taint the election one way or another.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
