I'd wait until we have third-party attested data before making any conclusions.

7/7 The report (p. 27): www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publica...

6/7 Cesium-137 is a highly soluble salt—throwing it into the river would have instantly dissolved the radiation into the water supply. W.F. arrived literally seconds before first responders poisoned the entire city's water for generations.

5/7 From the IAEA report: "W.F. arrived just in time to dissuade the fire brigade from their initial intention of picking up the source and throwing it into a river."

4/7 In the chaos of discovery, authorities almost made a decision that would have turned a local tragedy into a regional environmental collapse. A physicist, identified as W.F., raced to the Sanitary Surveillance office with a Geiger counter that was already maxing out from blocks away.

3/7 The city had to be scrubbed. Houses were demolished, topsoil removed, and thousands of people screened for radiation. Buried in the dry, technical language of the official IAEA report is a detail that reveals how close this was to being an apocalypse.

2/7 They punctured the capsule, releasing 93 grams of glowing blue Cesium-137 chloride. Fascinated by the "supernatural" light, they took it home, rubbed it on their skin, and shared it with friends. The result was catastrophic: 4 deaths, 249 contaminated, and widespread panic.

I don't see how this as a dunk. They are already capitalizing on it.

"Uses the same modalities as humans to interact with computers - no accessibility trees or separate parsing models required" This just in: blind, low vision, low mobility people are stripped from their humanity.

Windows Long Term Servicing Channel is a thing. 10 years though.

11. You don't recognize the bodies in the water

I'm not as optimistic. While institutions are now catching up, he still has his sycophants heading the DOJ, DOD, DHS etc and a friendly SCOTUS. That alone is plenty to inflict a lot more damage.

Mostly harmless.

In any case, #hugops to all involved in putting out the fire.
