"What the United States does not have, however, is a nuclear weapons production complex, especially for plutonium pit production. That doesn’t require nuclear testing. It requires the national will to make it happen. The last 30 years give me little confidence the United States can do so."
Lessons From Los Alamos
America has the most to lose from restarting nuclear testing.

And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
'Cause in this city's barren cold
I still remember the first fall of snow
And how it glistened as it fell
I remember it all too well
Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?

You don't need my permission, but if you find yourself in an RSD spiral, remember:
You can leave.
You can fake a work emergency.
You can say "I have to go" and just... go.
You don't need a reason that satisfies them. Protecting your mental health IS the reason.

It's taken me 2.5 days to get through a to do list most people would get through in a day, and I'm still only halfway through.

But a little nuance: there are at least 14 distinct populations of humpbacks, categorized by their annual migrations, and some of them are still facing localized extinction.
5 are either endangered or threatened, while 9 are not.
For example, the Arabian sea, a busy shipping area...

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

There's an old adage that "everyone gets cut in a knife fight," (the implication being you should avoid knife fights) so if you get into a knife fight, expect it to hurt. You might even bleed out. So you better do everything you can to hurt the other guy more.
