Proud to be a part of the @Bellingcat team. This is a good explanation of how open-source intelligence is done. And we can ask how much this had to do with the Iranian government's admission that their military shot the plane down.

At 10μSv/hr, it would take 500,000 hours to reach an exposure of 5 Sv, hematopoetic damage and probable death. That's about 21,000 days, or 57 years. So in the month or so that these soldiers have been there, they're far from that. 8/

During his 2018 confirmation hearing, Justice Brett Kavanaugh declared that he considered Roe to be settled law, winning him the crucial support of Senator Susan Collins. A reversal by him would be politically explosive, says @hillhulse . Listen live:

I have combed through Vladimir Putin's speeches since February 24 in response to @wellerstein 's suggestion that it would be useful to have all of Putin's nuclear threats in one place. A short thread summarizing them.

Looks like it was Russia that blew the Kakhovka Dam. Gift link.

Rant on modeling 1. There are a hundred gazillion models out there. Few of their owners have bothered to compare their model to others to see what is working and what isn't.
