“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”
Jan 11, 2026
Important Notice from Lloyd Albert Williams/Pendergraft . . .
This daily blog post will, for the next several issues at least, contain only the daily compiled LLAW’s Nuclear World News for an unknown period because my eyesight has quite suddenly become impossible for me to continue. (Google compiles the category lists from news sources for me automatically during the course of a day, so the articles and stories themselves are not a problem to post, although they are often out of order, which I will do my best to correct each day.)
But, rest assured, I’m not going away — doing everything in my power to remedy the problem with my eyes — and I hope to return to a full report of “All Things Nuclear” as soon as physically possible . . . ~llaw
