Hmmm. I want some weird neolib romcom based off this picture. “This Summer. Pushed away from Brussels for doing their job, these two type A’s might just be tumbling into each others arms. They say climate change is going to make the Mediterranean hot, but they didn’t account for these two!”

I wasn’t expecting much, but that was legit good.

“It’d be a real shame if something happened to your work file. If you pay us monthly, we can make sure your work is protected”

lol, first thing I saw too.

Haha went in blind and was… appropriately surprised. Pretty cool.

Yeah that’s certainly what it seems like.

The radiation warning is near a different atoll, so hard to say if the above is related or not, but it’s kinda blowing my mind how limited reporting is on the subject. It feels like it’s being suppressed in English language media.

An article from 2019, highlighting the risks of this thing becoming a problem: https://www.latimes.com/projects/marshall-islands-nuclear-testing-sea-level-rise/

This is a garbage website/source, but adds some more context:

Apparently a big concrete dome where loads of radioactive shit from old tests has cracked due to weather/climate related wear and tear.

From another article I read, this is a nuclear-powered sub, that is one of a handful that has been retrofitted from ballistic middle duty to cruise missles. So basically it’s a cruise missle platform. The headline is playing a little fast and loose for effect.

Also worth considering that subs that launch nukes are assumed to be out, patrolling in enough areas to ensure last-word MAD deterrence, so you can just assume that US nuke-launching subs are already able to strike most major population centers and don’t need or want to broadcast their specific location (unless, like, a very intelligent former president specifically puts their location on a new broadcast for clout)

Well I see the comment, if that helps.

For reference: that sign is 5’ high.
