And in that time we managed to completely destroy the most biodiverse tropical rainforest known in the universe. 🌳🪓
Species gone forever, large mammals and birds now on a forever decline. Just so depressing! 😭
just saw someone say something like “imagine you’re hospitalized for severe dehydration from the lettuce parasite and they inject you with fiberglass saline” and then i realized i was hospitalized for dehydration from the parasite in a state that received fiberglass saline
I feel like it should be bigger news that fibreglass is in IV saline bags in the US.
This isn’t a situation where you might get a little sick.
Fibreglass going directly into your veins will kill you
IV saline is used for almost every medical procedure.
This is unconscionable
Centrist Democrats have really exposed themselves, because “blue no matter who” has always been a scam. Zohran, Angie Nixon, Dr. Abdul I’m paying attention. I’ll act accordingly going forward, because it’s clear they have more in common with MAGA than they want to admit.
Director: hey guys did you finish the sequence introducing the pollution monster?
Animators and Tim Curry: sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked
Director: what
BREAKING: We have our first satellite images of the devastating Nepal/China floods, courtesy of our hardworking friends at Planet Labs, Inc.
This shows the Triushuli River more than quintupling in width and rising by 50-100 feet in some spots. For the hundreds reported missing, and presumed dead, there was simply no warning nor escape.
This is about 40 miles north of Katmandu, the capital of Nepal.
An extreme landslide, equivalent in strength to a magnitude 5.2 earthquake, ruptured with the force of 950 tons of exploding TNT. That was enough to essentially break a natural dam, allowing torrents of water (much of it meltwater from mountain snowpacks that melted over many years, i.e. a glacial lake) to be released.
The Trishuli River is a tributary formed by the merger of the Kyirong Tsangpo and Lende Khola rivers originating in Gyirong County of Tibet.
It's unclear where the floodwaters came from. There are several large glacial lakes in Shigatse, China. Each occupies its own endorheic basin, meaning there's no outlet for the lakes' waters to drain.
It appears a massive chunk of ice from one of the glaciers shifted or broke, opening a glacial lake to drainage into one or more river valleys.
Regardless, floodwaters rushed southwards down the Trishuli River through the Rasuwa District of Bagmati Province, gushing through the river valley and inundating virtually every community along the Pasang Lhamu Highway.
That populous corridor included the Friendship Bridge in Rasuwagadi, where Nepal and China meet.
Unfortunately their pivot to doing quiet ethnic cleansing instead of having bozo agents murder people in the streets has worked and there has been basically zero coverage lately of any of this and all those whose lives are being ruined
Someone just pointed out that—almost unbelievably—this is real footage from a fight in which the Canada goose ultimately prevailed over the eagle: https://t.co/wLQ6O7ccqf
If this isn't a metaphor for US trade policy, I don't know what is.
Under Hegseth, rape in the Navy is apparently just party of a woman’s duties.
A judge dismissed a rape case and said it needed to be filed as worker’s compensation instead.
Rape is never part of ANY job duty.
This is what happens when rapists & pedophiles are in charge.
