That’s pretty indisputably true.
It’s a 3d-printed cobalt 60 replica originally from printables (now removed). This is the original

Of all the things you wouldn’t want a houseguest to find unexpectedly…
Before we get too critical, do we know that it doesn’t taste like cinnamon?
Just out of curiosity, does radiation mess up phone camera images as well? I thought that was just film.
Evidently it does.
That was in 2019, and the article describes them as “audio samples,” which may just be another way of saying recordings. There may be less of that going on since it has been possible to opt out of recordings.
Nevertheless, I continue to be glad that I don’t have any of these devices in my home, including no Ring cameras.
FWIW, my ‘SANDY’ watch has a nuclear trefoil on the back, and ‘DISPOSE OF RAD WASTE’. I wish it still glowed.
Joke’s on them. I keep my Echo in my bedroom with the door closed, only I am ever there and I speak with no one.
Prompt critical?
Do we have to cancel Tim Walz now too? He platformed the platform that platformed Bannon and Kirk.
It was just “vexing” and “unflattering” behavior, Judge - honest!
Wiki says the half-life of Co-60 is roughly 5 years. That fake slug says it dates from 1963. So 60 years ago = ~12 half-lives. So the current radioactivity, where it real, would be 1/(2^12) = 1/4096, or about 0.0002% as strong as when it was made.
So maybe not hot enough to give you an eventually-fatal dose just from a short exposure, but still not a toy.
Is this evil enough for this thread?
A reader is appalled by the congressional candidate’s mock assassination video.
Valentina Gomez is running for Congress in Texas. She has a video (paywalled link in the article, but there’s a still) that depicts her executing an undocumented immigrant.
In this campaign video, Texas congressional candidate Valentina Gomez calls for publicly executing “any illegal” who commits rape or murder here. Decent citizens don’t take kindly to summary execution by an interloping vigilante craving attention, a reader says.
When even X/Twitter censors your content for being too extreme…

I suppose Ms. Gomez has proper documentation for herself. Then again, given the frequency of “Every accusation is a confession” behavior on the part of the Reactionary Wacko Traitors, I might be wrong in that supposition.
In either case it might be interesting to dig into the documentation status of her ancestors.
Separately to all the above …
We also see the common behavior that once immigrants (legal or otherwise) get here, real quickly their (or their offspring’s) allegiance changes away from their former countrymen, and it’s all “I’m here, I’ve got mine, pull up the ladder” for any newcomers.
They will be unhappily surprised how little that distinction matters to the White Supremacists. Whose beliefs are as simple as “Tan is Tan and Brown is Brown and none of that is good.”
Citizenship is one of the few actual qualifications for federal office in this country, so she almost certainly has proper docs.

Jackie Robinson was Antifa and a Black Panther!
They heard he was also a dodger.
