Welp, @paris.nyc it’s time for me to rap my sign again. We tried to be informative, we really did.

Would you believe that there are people beyond the borders of the United States that are knowledgeable about radiological issues that may, in fact, be the ones who inform us?

That would be Indonesia’s equivalent of the NRC. Please give them some respect for not being incompetent and helpless rubes.

The Sumo Nun jokes well flow freely for Extra Life. I am excited.

The backstory and inspired classes have been chosen for me (okay, one of them by me) and mini prep can commence! Sumo Nun is all about that base. 40mm base.

Do not disturb the kitty, unless treats.

Tuxedo cat “Ike” curled up on a dark green, cream, and lavender plaid blanket. He stares back through one barely open eye. He’s not a dragon, but if he were, there would be consequences. Instead (not pictured) he has gone back to sleep with whiskers twitching.

Are there treats?

Funranium (AKA Phil Broughton) @funranium.bsky.social · 13h

Cozy Creepy. I like it.

Just say they were on Good Place. You're covered.

My gateway drug was Finntroll over 20 years ago. I can stop anytime but why would I want to?

This is the nature of writing about ANYTHING radiation related. Sorry, I should have warned you about that.

Funranium (AKA Phil Broughton) @funranium.bsky.social · 14h

Oh, you will be tapping that sign forever.

That won’t be necessary.

They did!

Many questions remain unanswered, but it's more than you had before.

We do try our best to not let that happen.

As I've said before, FDA recalls are broad for even the suspicion of contamination. This is what they're supposed to do and it's a thankless task. The goal isn't to terrify people, but you need those things off the shelf.

I'm glad Paris put this round up together for folks. Been waiting for it.

after the 10th radioactive shrimp recall in 7 weeks, i decided to do some digging

Sometimes we know things beforehand. Sometimes we help journalists have things to share with you.

We have some complimentary feelings about the world.

I still seek ska covers of their songs. For some reason the world lacks this.

@qryztinker.bsky.social is a Sumo that aspires to be a Nun

Large Nun is here to regulate on all the jibrones, like magma giants.
