fas.org/osint-bootca... This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in open source techniques for nuclear and other research. Highly recommend this learning opportunity from my former organization. @mattkorda.bsky.social @nukestrat.bsky.social @scientistsorg.bsky.social

🚨 Attache ta tuque! @scientistsorg.bsky.social is hosting our 2nd Open Source Nuclear Analysis Bootcamp in partnership with @stanleycenter.org in Montréal on June 21-26! Come hang out and learn: • Geolocation • Missiles • FOIA • Imagery analysis • Poutine 🍟 • Bagels 🥯 C'est le fun! 👇

in which @mattkorda.bsky.social explains what he calls 'Plan B' now that there is no nuclear treaty regime

Helpful analysis here from @mattkorda.bsky.social of @scientistsorg.bsky.social fas.org/publication/...

🚨 New @scientistsorg.bsky.social report by Igor Morić + me tackling a critical question: Given that on-site nuclear arms control verification between the US + Russia is unlikely in the near-term, could a cooperative use of remote sensing tools act as a replacement? fas.org/publication/...

"There is no upside" - @mattkorda.bsky.social

I’ll give someone $1000 if they can find one factually correct statement in this post

The AL East standings look a little different tonight 👀

:D HOW DID I MISS THIS GETTING RELEASED?!? I love nuclear weapon targeting planning! It’s so baroque & detailed and bizarre! Am going to read today. Nicely done @mattkorda.bsky.social @nukestrat.bsky.social

📌 ICYMI, @nukestrat.bsky.social, @mattkorda.bsky.social, @mknight.bsky.social, and I just released a pretty cool report on the targeting strategies of nuclear-armed states. Check it out!

Impressive piece of work by my colleagues @mattkorda.bsky.social and @mknight.bsky.social on the extraordinary mess in the new Sentinel ICBM program: The Two-Hundred Billion Dollar Boondoggle. 👇

🚨Our @scientistsorg.bsky.social team's latest piece is out in our Next Nuclear Age series with @postopinions.bsky.social:🚨 @jonatomic.bsky.social, @nukestrat.bsky.social, and @mattkorda.bsky.social discuss the uncertain and worrisome future of nuclear proliferation in this phenomenal piece:

can someone make xcom 3 pls

An administration that claims to be obsessed with eliminating waste should look no further than the Sentinel ICBM program. @mknight.bsky.social and I have done a deep dive into the system; we explore why the program is so behind schedule, over-budget, and poorly managed. 👇 fas.org/publication/...

🚀In our latest @scientistsorg.bsky.social report, @mattkorda.bsky.social & I spill all things Sentinel: ✅ How did we get here? 📈 Why does the cost keep rising? 🤷‍♀️ Where's the program at now? 🕳️ What's up with the new silo situation?? Read here ⬇️⬇️

I am honored to contribute with @mattkorda.bsky.social the chapter on world nuclear forces in the 2025 SIPRI Yearbook that went public today: www.sipri.org/media/press-... A PDF of the chapter is here: www.sipri.org/sites/defaul... @sipri.org

I appreciate how this very good piece is both historically grounded and attuned to the novel nuclear risks of today - from @nukestrat.bsky.social, @mattkorda.bsky.social, @elianajjohns.bsky.social, and @alliemaloney.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

The last nuclear age was defined by the United States and the Soviet Union. "Today’s global nuclear landscape is far more complicated and, in many ways, more precarious." From @jonatomic.bsky.social, @nukestrat.bsky.social and @mattkorda.bsky.social of @scientistsorg.bsky.social: wapo.st/4dRnfXC

We are grateful to Washington Post for giving us their pages for a series of articles over the next several weeks about nuke weapons challenges facing the world. The first article with my colleagues @jonatomic.bsky.social and @mattkorda.bsky.social is below. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

SPIEGEL and „Danwatch“ analyzed two million docs on procurement data (filtered for biggest military contractors), detailing specific needs, e.g. type of steel, insulation thickness. Shows how systematically Russia is ramping up nuclear weapons architecture www.spiegel.de/ausland/russ...

anything that at any point you loved but then became too cool for, know that someday you will turn back to that thing and say "oh. no. you were fine, you were more than fine. it is I who was cringe"

Our new FAS Nuclear Notebook on Russian nuclear forces is now available. We estimate a stockpile of just over 4,300 warheads, modernizations, but also delays. Earlier STRATCOM projection of significant increase in tac nukes has not yet materialized. www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....

Gasping at straws. they're just so beautiful

‘Fetterman went on to make statements that shocked people. In opposing a cease-fire, he said, “Let’s get back to killing.” A person who heard the conversation told me, “He said, ‘Kill them all.’”’

And as the nuclear world is more chaotic than ever, our Nuclear Information Project team keeps publishing accurate, readable assessments of who has weapons and how many fas.org/initiative/s...

Follow along with us to see how we’re building bridges between science and innovative public policy. It’s the only way forward.

ok i give up. are canadians voting for a new pope

Wikipedia editors on the Katy Perry talk page came to a resounding conclusion against calling her an astronaut

I’m bummed illness prevents me from attending @carnegieendowment.org #NUKECON next two days. But if you’re going, make sure to check in with my colleagues @mknight.bsky.social @mattkorda.bsky.social @elianajjohns.bsky.social @jonatomic.bsky.social from the @scientistsorg.bsky.social nuke team! 👋

I've long been a fan of Senator... [checks notes] ... Van Halen

you know things are going well when they break out the turnip photos

It’s weird how extra costs trickle down to consumers but extra profits don’t. What’s that all about

New arms control proposal: 10,000% tariffs on Russian, Chinese, and North Korean reentry vehicles crossing into US territory.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

One less-noticed success in the Canadian counteroffensive: The most famous thinkers at Yale — specifically writers on fascism — are being serially scooped up by the U of T’s Munk School as they express a desire to flee the Trump assaults on universities

This is the first of what I think are going to be A LOT of primary challenges along these lines.

Here's a great job opportunity for someone looking to make an impact in nuclear philanthropy www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/41...

Alarmed by the gutting of the federal government? Don't worry, the top Democrat in Congress is, uh...doing a book tour?

watching how quickly all this is happening and thinking back to the senate saying they can't act without permission from the parliamentarian

Beware the vibes of March

get ready to learn swedish, canadian air force

I do believe we’re facing a generational problem. We have Dems who’ve been in office so long that they think their job is just to get elected in the next cycle and not to govern and wield power. They worry too much about what Rs might weaponize and as a result they refuse to fight.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

(doing tactics voice) first of all i will always surrender

i simply don’t understand how schumer could ever convince anyone passing the trump budget was a good idea. republicans are dancing on him. absolutely pathetic
