1/ 🚨 New publication alert!

A very special thanks to @PeejLoewen, whose comment on my poster helped spark this project!
Here’s a short 🧵:

[Dr. Jeffrey Lewis @ArmsControlWonk]

References to "tactical" nuclear weapons in this otherwise great @guardian story by @hugolowell are misleading. The US would drop a strategic B61-11 nuclear earth penetrator with a yield of 300 or 400 kilotons. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 15 and 21 kt.

[Dr. Jeffrey Lewis @ArmsControlWonk]

I say this because people often wrongly refer to "low-yield bunker busters" that don't exist. EPWs are high-yield weapons that produce significant fallout capable of killing tens of thousands of people. References to "tactical" nuclear weapons may reinforce that misperception.

My view on this event: President Yoon’s pure stupidity was unfortunate, but it unintentionally highlighted the resilience of South Korean democracy. The National Assembly stopped the leader’s wrong decision. The system of check and balance worked once again. This was the first..

[Dave Kang @daveckang]

I posted on the other site. A few thoughts here:

1. It is so outrageous I am having trouble getting my head around it. I was in Korea in 1987 and I remember martial law. This is one of the dumbest moves by a Korean president in its history.

2. Yoon's fate is sealed...

Misogyny is, unfortunately, alive and well!

@Madison_Schramm, Lori Crasnic & I find that women heads of government are more likely to be accused of corruption due to pervasive gendered beliefs about women and corruption. In @CJPS_RCSP https://t.co/FpfJKbFTr6

Beating a dead horse I know, but offset markets continue to expand as reports of bogus credits continue at a steady clip.

Offsets are incompatible with a 1.5 degree world.

@WDOConnell @PhillipLipscy @stefanrenckens Congratulations, Dr. O'Connell!!

[Dani Nedal @daninedal]

@russianforces That said, its entirely possible that the RU-CN deal has secret clauses that allow for some Pu separation for weapons. wouldn't be the first time an ostensibly civilian nuclear cooperation agreement includes a secret military dimension

[Dani Nedal @daninedal]

@russianforces 2/2 i agree that the stuff coming out of DC (open source, anyway) implicitly or explicitly assumes new Pu production in fast breeders which ignores the limitations you mentioned as well as the huge projected demand for U and Pu fuel for civilian reactors.

[Dani Nedal @daninedal]

This is absolutely terrifying and outrageous.

This is a story about falling victims to the most brazen bank fraud yet, proudly facilitated by #Rogers—Canada’s cellphone behemoth—and #CIBC—Canada’s major bank. @Rogers @CIBC @TorontoStar @globeandmail @rcmpgrcpolice

[Professor Olga Chyzh @olga_chyzh]

He deposited a fraudulent payroll check in my husband’s name and withdrew $5000 in cash that the teller happily double-counted right in front of the security cameras.

[Professor Olga Chyzh @olga_chyzh]

Yesterday around 4 pm, a guy named Eugene walked into a #Rogers store in Edmonton, Alberta, claimed he was my husband and that he lost his phone and convinced the #Rogers employee to switch my husband’s phone number over to him.

@goodauth I realize that in this era of zoom meetings I have to stop using "virtually" as synonym for "nearly"
