“A mouse never entrusts his life to only one hole”*…
Larger version here… Well, our earth is riddled with them. And as our old friend Randall Munroe at xkcd reminds us, some of them are very deep…
“Holes”
Via Jason Kottke, who reminds us that “Explain xkcd has more info on each of the various holes, including the truly bonkers Cave of Crystals in Mexico” (and explanatory background on other xkcd posts as well…)

As we spelunk, we might recall that it was on this date in 1962 that the U.S. military detonated Little Feller I, a tactical nuclear weapon at the Nevada Test Site as part of Operation Sunbeam. It was the last near-ground atmospheric nuclear detonation conducted by the United States. The high-altitude Fishbowl tests concluded in November of1962 with a detonation at around 69,000 feet altitude. Thereafter, in accordance with the 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty, tests were conducted underground… more holes.

Project Adiago Nuclear Detonation Test Site, Nye County, Nevada. August 2024. The test here was canceled based on the failure of the nearby Fautless detonation. Background radiation between the two sites was close 0.14 uSv/hr vs 0.21 #nuclear #coldwar #nucleartest #nevada #abandoned #desert #photography #blackandwhite #geigercounter

Sacred #PeaceWalk to #NuclearTest Site
"The spirit of #AaronBushnell and the deadly fires and incineration of #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki were felt deeply as our souls cried out for a cease fire and an end to the #genocide in #Palestine along with atonement for the egregious offenses in #Ukraine and other parts of the world, past and present"

"Western #Shoshone led the Sacred Peace Walk for their annual prayers from Las Vegas to the Nevada National Security Test Site. Starting on Palm Sunday, walkers gathered at the #AtomicMuseum and walked to the National Security Test Site."
Highlights:
- Peace #Activists Arrested at Creech Air Force Base -- Two women crossed the line at the Nuclear Test Site
- Nevada's Drone Operators and Bombing Ranges -- The Deadly Toll on Western Shoshone, #Paiute and Humanity
- Paiute Journalist #MyronDewey Killed after Live-streaming from Bombing Range

Today (March 1) is the 70th anniversary of the #Bravo Test, the largest nuclear weapon test ever conducted by the US, on #Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. It was a radiological disaster that resulted in the irradiation and forced displacement of whole communities.
Here is an article I wrote 7 years ago about how Bravo put the word #fallout into our lexicon.

"'When the plane dropped the bomb you could see all the bones in your fingers,' he said.
Mr Roberts was rushed to a military hospital when he returned to the UK after suffering internal bleeding and underwent nine hours of surgery."
But hey, he got a medal.

Veterans Day:
"In Operation Desert Rock, the military conducted a series of nuclear tests in the Nevada Proving Grounds between 1951 and 1957. In total, more nearly 400,000 American soldiers and civilians would be classified as 'atomic veterans.'"
