A piece of "trivia" everyone should take note of about the Baltimore Francis Key Scott bridge collapse

I have long wondered how automatic windows replacing manual were ever approved for safety windows as they make the vehicle into a death trap if the electrical system fails

Six construction workers were drowned while taking a break in their vehicles when the bridge collapses. Two survived, one in serious condition when rescued The other....

"He survived because his window was manual. He was able to roll down the window and escape."

The Baltimore bridge collapsed three weeks ago. Here's the latest on the clean-up, the FBI operation, and a tale of survival

It's been three weeks since Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed under the impact of a wayward cargo ship. In the midst of an FBI investigation, a remarkable story of survival has emerged.

His TikTok account was like a glimpse of light in the darkness of an ongoing genocide.


They killed him, but they could never kill his free spirit. His happy videos, his cooking videos and his funny videos about his life under Israeli bombings were one of the nicest ones I watched almost every day.

Fuck Israel and anyone still supporting it.

Imagine reading my post and the image and then comment like that.

I guess the problem with Israel is not just Netanyahu, but a large percentage of its population and millions of racist, christian Zionists and JewishISIS around the world.

Chernobyl: Utopia in Flames, 2023
(Tschernobyl - Die Katastrophe)

The best documentary series on the Chernobyl 1986 nuclear disaster, based on archival footage and interviews with leading participants.

KGB warning, 1983. The Chernobyl disaster on 26 April 1986 is considered the worst nuclear accident in mankind's history – both in terms of casualties and costs. It has impacted the world forever. Many have seen the fictional account. But the true story is even more complex, more human and more shocking than we could ever have imagined. It starts in 1970 in an area of forest and marshland in Northern Ukraine, very close to a little village that the Ukrainian locals call Chornobyl, in Russian: Chernobyl. There a utopia was made real: the largest nuclear power plant in the world alongside a model town of Soviet communism, Prypjat – they were the embodiment of the achievements of the New Human. The people who moved to Pripyat were chosen for their skills, their determination, and their willingness to believe in the future. They would all start as construction workers, and later become shop keepers, nurses, policemen, plumbers – everything needed to keep their city going. They lived a dream that most of us today can hardly fathom. But this dream was torn asunder on April 26, 1986 – and today, it is only this ending that most people know about Chernobyl and Pripyat. Now, we uncover the whole, true story through new footage from the nuclear exclusion zone as well as a collection of largely unpublished archive material from the Soviet era, elaborately animating key technical concepts, revealing personal stories of witnesses who lived in that utopia and survived the disaster.
Reactor design deficiencies, from post-accident report. With our contemporary witnesses, we immerse ourselves in the Atomic Age of the Soviet Empire, which is initially shaped by a belief in technology and progress but is soon being pushed through with lies, secrecy and manipulation. These witnesses include nuclear engineer Nikolai Steinberg, who was involved in the construction of Chernobyl and devoted his later life to searching for the real reasons for the disaster; Maria Protsenko, the chief architect of the nuclear city, Prypjat; Oleksiy Breus and Boris Stolyarchuk, who were young workers in the power plant at the time and who survived the reactor meltdown. The narrative weaves together their stories into one gripping story arc. Statements from international experts along with detailed animation provide insightful facts and figures that help grasp the scope of the events: starting with the construction of the nuclear power plant in the early 1970s through the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 up to the harbingers of the current Ukrainian/Russian tragedy. Written & Directed by Dirk Schneider and Ariane Riecker; LOOKSfilm, MMD Pro and ZDF Co-Production with MDM Mitteldeutsche Medienforderung and German Motion Picture Fund

That time when I took a photo of the Orion nebula with my Pixel 4a that I got for free from Aaron and installed CalyxOS on it :). Of course the photo is taken through my telescope, but still is quite impressive. #orion #nebula #nightsky #astrophotpgraphy #pixe4a #calyxos

The story of Alberta's endangered boreal #caribou
There is no political will to curb the resource extraction (oil and gas we should never burn) in what's left of the caribou's habitat. So instead a brutal wolf cull keeps the herds alive for now, while millions of dollars are spent on research and data gathering to give the appearance of concern.

As someone with Palestinian heritage who is vocally against the destruction in #Palestine, I get an extraordinary number of pleas for help. All of them heartbreaking, and unfortunately, many of them are scams. There’s a lot of work tracking down which are legit. (I may do a post on how to research gfm pleas)

That said, I would like to introduce you to Nour and Nagham, doctors and sisters on the ground in #Gaza, who founded and lead the globally supported initiative, #PALHumanity. They have been distributing aid (primarily diapers, menstrual/hygiene kits and formula). Because they go to where people are sheltering, the IDF has almost killed them multiple times as they continue to shell schools.

If you want to donate to Palestinians who are making a difference, please consider supporting these sister doctors.

Moonrise last night. 2 evenings of a frustrating low cloudbank thwarted any shots prior to this one!

#Moon #IsleofWight #FreshwaterBay #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography #AvailableLightPhotography

An almost full moon emerges from behind a cliff over the sea. The coastline has several large rock formations in the deep blue sea. I'ts almost nightfall, the moon quite yellow in appearance as it moves through the atmospheric haze.

Some ads just don't age well.

Humble Oil became Standard Oil became Exxon became ExxonMobile became monsters.

#climate #ClimateChange

Oil company advertisement in Life magazine, February 2, 1962: EACH DAY HUMBLE SUPPLIES ENOUGH ENERGY TO MELT 7 MILLION TONS OF GLACIER! This giant glacier has remained unmelted for centuries. Yet, the petroleum energy Humble supplies—if converted into heat—could melt it at the rate of 80 tons each second! To meet the nation’s growing needs for energy, Humble has applied science to nature’s resources to become America’s Leading Energy Company.

British journalist Richard Medhurst was arrested in Heathrow airport under the Schedule 12 Terrorism Act


Without being informed on the exact comments he allegedly made, Medhurst says he was informed that he uttered comments in supportive of a proscribed terrorist group and was held for 24 hours upon his arrival in London. He has stated that this appears to be an intimidation tactic designed to silence his work as a journalist.
