The worm was load-bearing
Inside the Rise and Fall of NASA's Beloved Worm Logo
NASA's 'worm' logo was born of a meticulously detailed manual that remains a great example of a graphics system. Two designers hope to reissue it as a hardcover book.

There are some paths forward which span media education / training, and an overly ambitious concept for algorithm regulation.
But above all I am once again asking for people to examine the "next-hour" crisis when it comes to tactical nuclear weapons, and integrate these huge uncertainties.

So, if a country’s overall resilience can be measured by its ability to respond to hostile acts, that depends to a large degree on its ability to quickly reach its people with critical, reliable (and sober) information.
And the info environment as it stands today is built for exactly the opposite.

You can see this at all levels, including natural disasters:
FEMA conspiracies hampering hurricane Helene response at the ground level in 2024
Chatbots lying to users about tsunami risk status after the Kamchatka earthquake in 2025
But a nuclear use crisis probably combines all these symptoms!

Luckily that was not a nuclear crisis, a moment when all eyes would be on every action, statement, and estimation of top leadership. But the glideway for algo-incentivized misinformation to muscle out actual information is an ongoing risk that can be tripped over—or deliberately exploited.

I again use the Beirut disaster as a starting point, not just because it's a dramatic explosion with tons of independent coverage, but because the immediate success of wild conspiracy theories and misinformation drawing a line to President Trump's in-the-moment remarks.

There is no escaping the STRATCOM cowboy tho
There is and was only one Curtis Lemay and one Thomas power Jr. So why is every Hollywood portrayal of the SAC/STRATCOM commander the same: a man deep in Nebraska who is ready to initiate Armageddon at a moments notice without deliberation or hesitation? I explore in my latest⬇️

Nothing that won't make some people big mad (not really possible while still being an enjoyable film) but By Dawn's Early Light does an okay job. On the whole HoD does a better job of the people involved / overall dilemma but requires buying more unrealistic leaps

Bridge's hearing is over. Honestly hard to watch. I still think the glaring truth is that he's going to hate this job so much.
