There are a lot of educated people begging for minimum wage jobs. I hate that we seem to be attacking/devaluing/only making available to the moneyed…education. My parents placed great value on education, for the sake of education even, and countries that make sense make it available.

Yes.

Congratulations, Dr. Brasch, and thank you for sharing.

Good morning, bgrothus, and thank you for the interesting post and host. The student loan debt is off the rails; my son will likely spend the greater part of his career paying. Also, I cannot shake the feeling that, not only are we going the wrong way with things like ‘workforce housing;’ I can see [...]

I drink instant NesTea iced tea all day, and today I found a mandible, from a large beetle that does not live around this area, in with the instant tea. I almost missed it, but I noticed a solid piece that had not dissolved… Creeped me out so bad I discarded the whole jar (that [...]

Thank you for your very kind comment, Boxturtle. Frye hearing at 4 PM today, after they slog through more prospective jurors.

LOL!

Thank you for the information.

BTW, in the photo, she has a beautiful choice of colors. I have never considered a tattoo, because I was always concerned that I would change my mind, but, our former neighbor is a tattoo artist, and they are very very popular these days. He does beautiful work.

At some point, I need to read about those other byproducts, but I do keep getting the same take from say, your dad, my dad, other folks from that era, I have 2 (deceased, one related to the work and the other not, is the family consensus)relatives who worked at Hanford- highly secretive. Not only [...]

Lord have mercy. I didn’t know there were more of them…

Here is a vote for the main page, hear, hear!

Yes, the trial is underway, and each morning, Fred posts a blog with a watch and comment post, sort of like a live blog. The stage of the trial is jury selection. Prospective jurors are being questioned specifically on pretrial publicity. So far, 29 have made the cut. The judge wants a par level of [...]

No, I don’t get that impression at all from the account I am reading. The author, who was with Hanford Engineer Works under the pseudonym AH Comas in 1944, gives an account that leaves me with the impression that even the scientists did not know how this would play out. I admire him for having [...]

I love science, and it’s the kind of thing where, the more I learn, the less it seems I know, if that makes sense. Yesterday, a veteran of the USS Bushnell, a submarine tender, suggested that I look up, among other things, this interesting article: Sub Thresher’s nuclear reactor remains buried at sea His service was [...]

And our own mess at Hanford just got worse. And now we’re seeing green liquid that we hadn’t seen before. But don’t panic! Per authorities, the total amount leaked in the last year is only about a can of soda. A bright green, deadly radioactive can of soda flavored with Plutonium. The tank is deteriorating and [...]

You took the ZED. Dang. To the naughty step!

*off to read Monday Science*

correction at #27, I should have separated the Webber Canyon sentence from the ‘Topix’ sentence, because as it reads, it may give the impression that I found a blog of yours on a Topix site, which I did not. I read your blog here, at Firedoglake. I apologize for this, if it was misleading.

They use first and last initials for juvies whose cases hit the Court of Appeals, anyway, in this state, and yes, in a small community, folks will tend to put two and two together. I hate to admit out loud that I have ever lurked Topix, but it seems to be a hotbed of gossip. [...]

Question: Does it, or does it not, make a difference to clear the ‘cookies’ and ‘history?’ I do it, because, stay with me here…google gets tailored to the point where I think it’s broken. I don’t want to see what I am thinking; I want new information. If that makes sense.

Straight-up gangster. Rick Scott’s the one who belongs in prison.

What a miserable excuse for a human being.

Lord have mercy, there you are, thank God you are far away. We have a commenter at our site whose description was not unlike that of Hell:

One of my Granddaughters friends was leaving as soon as it started. He said they walked out the door and it was like a scene right out of Bambi, [...]
