Radioactive Waste 829 - EDF and Veolia Working On New GeoMelt Vitrification Technology For Radioactive Waste Disposal
The disposal of spent nuclear fuel is a global problem. One approach is to pulverize spent nuclear fuel, mix it with sand and other chemicals, and melt the mixture to form glass bricks or logs. This process is called vitrification. The glass bricks and logs can then be buried and should keep the radioactive materials away from the environment.

Tell AT&T to Stop Funding Anti-Abortion Legislation
Right now we're in the literal fight for our lives as politicians attack us. They're trying to keep our kids from playing sports and blocking them from life-saving medical treatments, and they're trying to make anyone who can get pregnant be forced to carry that dangerous pregnancy to full term.

The Witcher is At Hot Topic!
After the massive success of Netflix's The Witcher, many of us were left wondering if it would make it to the usual stores when it came to apparel and other merch.
