Trump Orders Nuclear Testing As Nuke Workers Go Unpaid
Last night Trump directed the Pentagon to start testing nukes again. If that happens, it’ll be the first time the US has detonated a nuke in more than 30 years.
Trump Orders Nuclear Testing As Nuke Workers Go Unpaid
Last night Trump directed the Pentagon to start testing nukes again. If that happens, it’ll be the first time the US has detonated a nuke in more than 30 years. The organization that would likely be responsible for this would be the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a civilian workforce that oversees the American nuclear stockpile. Because of the current government shutdown, 1,400 NNSA workers are on furlough and the remaining 375 are working without pay.
America detonated its last nuke in 1992 as part of a general drawn down following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Four years later, it was the first country to sign the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) which bans nuclear explosions for civilian or military purposes. But Congress never ratified the treaty and the CTBT never entered into force. Despite this, there has not been a nuke tested by the United States since. playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2… Trump threatened to resume nuclear testing during his first term but it never happened. At the time, officials at the Pentagon and NNSA said it would take them a few months to get tests running again should the President order them.
The NNSA has maintained the underground tunnels once used for testing since the 1990s and converted them into a different kind of space that verifies the reliability of existing nukes without blowing them up in what are called “virtual tests.” During a rare tour of the tunnel with journalists earlier this year, a nuclear weapons scientist from Los Alamos National Laboratory told NPR that “our assessment is that there are no system questions that would be answered by a test, that would be worth the expense and the effort and the time.”
Right now, the NNSA might be hard pressed to find someone to conduct the test. It employs around 2,000 people and the shutdown has seen 1,400 of them furloughed and 375 working without pay. The civilian nuclear workforce was already having a tough year. In February, the Department of Government Efficiency cut 350 NNSA employees only to scramble and rehire all but 28 when they realized how essential they were to nuclear safety. But uncertainty continued and in April the Department of Energy declared 500 NNSA employees “non-essential” and at risk of termination.
That’s a lot of chaos for a government agency charged with ensuring the safety and effectiveness of America’s nuclear weapons. The NNSA is currently in the middle of a massive project to “modernize” America’s nukes, an effort that will cost trillions of dollars. Part of modernization means producing new plutonium pits, the core of a nuclear warhead. That’s a complicated and technical process and no one is sure how much it’ll cost and how dangerous it’ll be.
And now, it may have to resume nuclear testing while understaffed.
“We have run out of federal funds for federal workers,” Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said in a press conference announcing furlough on October 20. “This has never happened before…we have never furloughed workers in the NNSA. This should not happen. But this was as long as we could stretch the funds for federal workers. We were able to do some gymnastics and stretch it further for the contractors.”
Three days later, Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) said the furlough was making the world less safe. “NNSA facilities are charged with maintaining nuclear security in accordance with long-standing policy and the law,” she said in a press release. “Undermining the agency’s workforce at such a challenging time diminishes our nuclear deterrence, emboldens international adversaries, and makes Nevadans less safe. Secretary Wright, Administrator Williams, and Congressional Republicans need to stop playing politics, rescind the furlough notice, and reopen the government.”
Trump announced the nuclear tests in a post on Truth Social, a platform where he announces a lot of things that ultimately end up not happening. “The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country. This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office. Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice! Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years. Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP,” the post said.
Matt Korda, a nuclear expert with the Federation of American Scientists, said that the President’s Truth social post was confusing and riddled with misconceptions. Russia has more nuclear weapons than America. Nuclear modernization is ongoing and will take trillions of dollars and many years to complete. Over the weekend, Putin announced that Russia had successfully tested a nuclear-powered cruise missile and on Tuesday he said the country had done the same with a nuclear-powered undersea drone. Russia withdrew from the CTBT in 2023, but neither recent test involved a nuclear explosion. Russia last blew up a nuke in 1990 and China conducted its most recent test in 1996. Both have said they would resume nuclear testing should America do it. Korda said it's unclear what, exactly, Trump means. He could be talking about anything from test firing non-nuclear equipped ICBMs to underground testing to detonating nukes in the desert. “We’ll have to wait and see until either this Truth Social post dissipates and becomes a bunch of nothing or it actually gets turned into policy. Then we’ll have something more concrete to respond to,” Korda said.
Worse, he thinks the resumption of testing would be bad for US national security. “It actually puts the US at a strategic disadvantage,” Korda said. “This moratorium on not testing nuclear weapons benefits the United States because the United States has, by far, the most advanced modeling and simulation equipment…by every measure this is a terrible idea.”
The end of nuclear detonation tests has spurred 30 years of innovation in the field of computer modeling. Subcritical computer modeling happens in the NNSA-maintained underground tunnels where detonations were once a common occurrence. The Los Alamos National Laboratories and other American nuclear labs are building massive super computers that are, in part, the result of decades of work spurred by the end of detonations and the embrace of simulation.
Detonating a nuclear weapon—whether above ground or below—is disastrous for the environment. There are people alive in the United States today who are living with cancer and other health conditions caused by American nuclear testing. Live tests make the world more anxious, less safe, and encourage other nuclear powers to do their own. It also uses up a nuke, something America has said it wants to build more of.
“There’s no upside to this,” Korda said. He added that he felt bad for the furloughed NNSA workers. “People find out about significant policy changes through Truth social posts. So it’s entirely possible that the people who would be tasked with carrying out this decision are learning about it in the same way we are all learning about it. They probably have the exact same kinds of questions that we do.”

Canva launches a foundational design model that generates editable layered designs, expands Canva AI, makes Affinity free for all users, and more (Ivan Mehta/TechCrunch)

So they decided to reinforce the whole suite as a unique program rather than three separate softwares (Photo, Designer and Publisher) in which previously were able to be used conjointly if you were to purchase all 3 of them.
Yeah, they're making it for free but the fact that they said the new relations with Canva and (oh my fucking god no) AI is a bit suspicious to me
The new UI stuff looks fancy, i like how they made it more modular than Adobe's suite.
Another big addition is that they have combined all the Affinity features in separate Studio preferences, basically like Blender UI presents for different kind of workflows.
Kind of cool, really. But i seriously can't stand seeing "AI" in here.
The image shows a screenshot of a digital interface, likely a design program. The program interface has a white background with several icons and labels visible. Several rectangular boxes are stacked vertically on the left side of the screen. These boxes contain icons and labels such as "Slice," "Typography," "Composing," and "Data". The labels are in black text, with a slightly rounded rectangular box around each. There is also an option labeled "Create" at the bottom of the interface. Finally, a small white arrow points from the stack of boxes towards the "Create" option at the bottom.

The new 'mesh' fill although looks interesting and the example they showed for it looks really sick that it almost looked like 3D cartoon CGI, although i'm not a fan of how the details in the example looked like a bit rushed.
Then new filters. Okay. Data merge improvements. Good. EPUB export. Nice.
Canva AI requires you to have a Canva premium account, which in this case is a thing i am not ever going to care about at all. So i think that's a little win...?
But what actually kills me is that you need to register a Canva account, so your Affinity account is pratically useless from now on. Which is for me one of the biggest doubts of the future of this suite so far.
Then suddenly, they announced scripting support for even more advanced features, which actually may look interesting for the kind of expertised users who'd love adding shader stuff.
The fact they marketed it as "we're now free, we swear" only to see Canva behind has me raise an eyebrow.
I may be quite excessive on this but, I never used Canva before but i'm a bit skeptical about it being the fact they're just yet another corporate. And i am not even going to fall for it anymore.
I'm going to be waiting here on my V2 copy, expecting that in the next weeks they will pull a stunt that will disappoint Affinity users.
They closed the Affinity community forums preemptively in order to favor use of Discord.
I knew there's something fishy going on.
But you know, it's still a bit early, but the paranoia of enshittification is VERY true to this day, and if not, i'm afraid that they're going to mismanage crap with it.
For me, Affinity is now already dead on arrival. One month of wait for a really mediocre relaunch... what a fucking joke.....
anch’io la penso come te. Vorrei essere felice però allo stesso tempo so che potrebbero rovinarlo da un momento all’altro. E poi questa cosa del free forever ho paura che non durerà.
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AFP) — Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica Tuesday with ferocious winds and torrential rains, the most powerful storm ever to hit the island. The Category 5 storm left four people dead, reduced homes to rubbles, demolished vital infrastructure and blocked off road networks, leaving the nation to face the grim reality of a prolonged and gruelling recovery. Here’s a look at some of the worst impacted communities before and after Hurricane Melissa's passage.

This post includes a timeline of the January 6 investigation as it was known on January 15. If you want to argue about pace of investigation, it's probably helpful to pretend familiarity with it. www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/15/w...
As part of Kyle Cheney and Josh Gerstein’s summary of the Jack Smith report, they argued that “Smith [came] to Garland’s defense” regarding his conduct of the January 6 investigation before Smith was appointed, pointing to Smith’s review of certain l…
During the 2022 election period, prosecutors had the first privilege waiver interviews and were busy exploiting all the phones they had seized in September (all known phones were seized before Jack Smith appointed).
Per the table released by Chuck Grassley, prosecutors sent out 38 subpoenas in the months before Jack Smith's appointment (13 of those were after the election). legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
BY FAR the biggest waste of time during election 2022 came from Jan6 Committee, which is responsible for the longest frivolous delay of the entire Jan6 investigation. In June, they told DOJ they would hand over all transcripts in September. They didn't release them until December.

“It is great to see general practice embracing the digital agenda to improve access for patients and manage increasing demand, including the wider use of online consultation systems.
“Patients are clearly now using these systems to access the care they need in greater numbers."

The collapse of the Kerry Plan presents Israel with a formidable challenge. It goes without saying that I myself never believed in nor subscribed to this type of policy, but one can’t deny the fact that it provided a horizon, albeit an illusionary one, for many Israelis and Palestinians, as well as for many in the international community.
However, the dismal failure of the American initiative brought home even to them the understanding that that this conflict has no political solution at this time. This “despair” has led to the realization that for the first time in decades, and certainly since the signing of the Oslo accords, there is no serious plan capable of producing results within a reasonable amount of time on the table.
