Release the hounds!🐶
The Puppy Bowl, Animal Planet’s annual extravaganza of canine cuteness, is back on Sunday. And as always, the players on the field are all up for adoption. Several people involved in the production of the show have taken what they see as a “call to action” to heart. trib.al/mD8DHRH

75 years ago this morning, the United States conducted FOX, a proof test of a Mk-6 atomic bomb, at the Nevada Proving Ground, its fifth test there. The yield was 22 kilotons (the predicted yield was 34 kilotons). Below, the first published photographs of a mushroom cloud over Nevada, from that test.

70 years ago today, in a first, the USSR launched an R-5 medium-range ballistic missile (NATO designation: SS-3 Shyster) carrying a live warhead across populated areas of Kazakhstan from the Kapustin Yar test site to the Sary Shagan test range. The 0.3-kt warhead detonated on the ground near Aralsk.

There's an May 9, 1952 accident at Eielson AFB, Alaska, listed in one heavily redacted accident I have. This might be the one Hansen has listed. Again, little info on it. Note that this was declassified in 2014 — hard to know why this would still be classified!

75 yrs ago today at 5:47 AM local time, television station KTLA made an unauthorized live broadcast from atop Mt. Wilson just to Los Angeles of the 1-kiloton EASY nuclear test at the Nevada Proving Ground more than 200 miles away. It was watched by an estimated 30,000 people (start video at 22:30).

Great list. Two of the most profound to me were American Sign Language and Film. Something about the visual languages and I am half blind. Go figure. Anthropology and Ethics were pretty profound too.

Here @joshuakeating.bsky.social points out that, as of January 14, 2026, we've entered the longest period since July 16, 1945, without a full-scale nuclear test explosion (exceeding the time between the 1998 Pakistani test and North Korea's first test in 2006) www.vox.com/future-perfe...
The world just passed a surprisingly positive milestone on nuclear weapons
It’s been more than eight years since the last nuclear explosion. How long will the pause last?

Interesting looks like some type of B61 test equipment with a unit under test.
