 Unions were trying to prevent the exact type of accident that caused the toxic chemical spill in Ohio. Union rail workers have warned of a "ticking time bomb" saying, “In the last 10 years, Class I carriers have dramatically increased both the length and tonnage of the average train while cutting back maintenance and inspection.” A shot of the #SolarPolarVortex reveals that it took roughly 8 hours for material to circumnavigate the pole at approximately 60° latitude. This means an upper bound in the estimation of horizontal wind speed in this event is 96 kilometres per second per second! https://www.space.com/vortex-sun-poles  US has become an unsafe place for Asian people. The real problem comes from the heated rhetoric associated with the increasing competition between the US and China. More “at what cost” reporting. If there’s pollution: You are polluting the world! If pollution is fixed: You may have clean air, but AT WHAT COST! This East Palestine train derailment is purposely being media blacked out by because it is significantly worse than first imagined by leaping magnitudes. a great article exposing the stunning amount of consolidation in US media

@yogthos Omfg! They've trashed FF to the point where I'm actually using Chrome as default browser! Accessing ClickHouse using #Clojure hikari-cp library. ClickHouse is an open source analytics DBMS for big data. The fungal crisis is here and desperately needs addressing https://www.statnews.com/2023/02/09/fungal-crisis-is-here-past-time-to-address-it/ Interesting to note that Microsoft hired 77k from mid 2019, but They just let go of 10k in a month. So, layoffs are happening faster than the hiring, and we don't know when they'll stop. The heads of 3 of the biggest churches in Syria are demanding the US and EU “lift the embargo and unjust sanctions imposed on the Syrian people” and “take exceptional measures and immediate initiatives to secure the delivery of the much-needed relief and humanitarian aid.” In addition to some of Hersh's bigger breaking investigations, he wrote a lesser known article before the US-engineered "Arab Spring" called, "preparing the battlefield" where he exposed US preparations for using extremists to overthrow the Syrian government as part of a wider proxy war with Iran. This was in 2008, predicting with extreme accuracy what and how it would unfold from 2011 onward. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/07/07/preparing-the-battlefield Yanis Varoufakis on why the world needs a new Non-Aligned Movement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MfuGSlDRsc&t=0s |
