I figured I'd better see how close my cousin was to the EF-3 tornado in the metro area of St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. that killed five. It was a lot closer than I expected. She lives in Webster Groves.
I hope there is as much help for the people also hit by a tornado in Kentucky, as there has been for the MO folks.

The image is a celebratory poster for a football team, prominently featuring a large star in the center. The star is filled with images of players in red and yellow jerseys, with the goalkeeper in black, all in dynamic poses suggesting celebration. The background is a rich red with a patterned texture, and the number "15" is visible in the upper left corner, likely representing a significant milestone. The word "ลAMPฤฐYON" (Champion) is displayed in large white letters at the bottom, with the years "2024-2025" beneath it, indicating the team's championship title for that season. The Galatasaray logo is present at the bottom center, accompanied by five stars, symbolizing the team's championship victories. The overall design is vibrant and festive, celebrating the team's achievement.

The Israeli military has issued forced displacement orders to Palestinian civilians in central-eastern Gaza.
Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee designated multiple neighbourhoods in the area as red zones. "This is a final and preemptive warning before the attack," he said in a post on X.
"We will attack with extreme force every area used to launch rockets."

This is shocking.
On May 13th, someone put $25 million in premium, 10,000x volume, in United Health, $UNH, $300 puts expiring 09/19/2025.
Then news of DOJ investigating for fraud came out.
$UNH dropped, and is down 50% in last month.
This trader was up $80 million.
Unusual.

Web apps are one of the best-kept secrets of the internet. If you haven't tried them before, they are worth giving a go.
There are web apps for almost all Fediverse platforms including Mastodon. You can find out more at:

Web apps are a mixture of website and app store app, combining many of the best features of both. The restrictions imposed by Apple and Google's app stores do not apply to web apps, so web apps tend to get more features more quickly.

web apps can be very fantastic and thanks for sharing this! Imo, one of the biggest hurdles for them still though is feature parity across device and browsers. Also the UX isn't always well considered for all device types and some native features that people expect for their apps may not be implemented in the web app version.
If we can overcome some of these limitations (and others, then web apps could become even more powerful and that would definitely be cool and strengthen the open social web even more as you pointed out!
In the case of federated networks like the Fediverse, web apps have an unusual advantage due to badly-written app store rules that try to hold client makers responsible for the content of instances.
This has been especially noticeable on the PeerTube app store app for example, the iOS version has not been allowed by Apple to have sign-ins onto the user's choice of instance. Meanwhile the PeerTube web app has no restrictions at all on where the user can sign in.
Yesterday we spoke to Iain Lennon, whoโs a consultant in Emergency Medicine from Derby. Heโs currently volunteering in Gaza with the charity UK Med and is at the Al-Mawasi hospital in southern Gaza.
At the time they were preparing for an influx of people from the north, but overnight that devastating airstrike happened nearby so we spoke again today and asked what had happened.

The Israeli militaryโs targeting of rescue teams and paramedics during efforts to evacuate the wounded and extract survivors trapped under rubble in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, constitutes a compound war crime.
These actions constitute a grave violation of international humanitarian law, particularly the principles mandating full protection for the wounded, the guarantee of their right to evacuation and treatment.

in reply to Cromley • • •@VoiceofDuum HOLY SHIT. And honestly, that tornado seemed like a high end EF-3.
When we had an EF-4 in Newnan, GA (South of me) it changed people's lives forever. Tornado trauma is something we don't talk about. Like earthquakes, you don't really know when they're coming. Tornadoes are sneakier than say, hurricanes. It's that vulnerability that makes it worse.
