This footage is insane, but what might be even more insane: the guys inside this train survived. The community outside didn't.

This is northwestern Ontario, where 128 wildfires are burning tonight and 53 are out of control. Down the same rail line, a First Nation of about 40 people burned Monday night. Residents fled by boat. The local MPP says the entire community has been erased.

The fire that did it has been burning since May 31. Six weeks. Then 40 C heat and high winds turned it into a 14,000-hectare monster in a matter of days.

The detail that should worry you more than the video: three trains loaded with combustible and flammable materials are stopped and staged on this same line because the fire cut them off. Parked fuel cargo, inside an active fire zone.

The crew in this footage had detached their locomotive to rescue a track foreman. That's why they were in the fire's path when it closed around them. One of them can be heard saying "this could potentially overtake us."

The only highway into the area is closed. When the road closes and the rail line burns, a boat becomes the evacuation plan.

They can never earn and be happy, they must always find ways to look down on people also earning in their various ways, typical Nigerian man poverty mentality. Always “i better pass my neighbour”.

[dracojeremy @jeremyb___]

This referee is being so unfair

[一半亚洲人 @Kinbusorlah]

This referee can’t be serious, what is this?!

[The Force! @Orifunke]

As a young woman, one of the things you must never do in a professional space is to put yourself in a situation where you are embarrassing. Never opt to be the office clown. It will affect public perception of you in a way that you will not be able to track or measure.

Humble pie?

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

[Anambra 1st son @UchePOkoye]

This young lady raised an alarm over the type of story her son is reading school and she is being threatened by the author.

Who approved this type of book in Nigeria?

[LOLO👸🤍 @Nazannwa]

lmfao. actually, I fuck with this.
if people can talk about their sexual escapades, why can't people talk about their non sexual escapades?
why does it always bite you people when someone say they aren't sexually active? 😭🤚

[Abefe ❄️🍁 @falemiayo]

[一半亚洲人 @Kinbusorlah]

Association of Arsenal wives, we need to start a prayer chain, we can’t continue looking we need to do something🤭😔

[Chichi @chibzyyyy]

Together, under this weather
Here in Gbagada
We are gathered with Dauda
Waiting for Tega
Oh there he comes, with okada
With Matilda, the sister
Even Lovina, my lover
No, that must be Amanda, the mother
With the father, the warder
Even the brother, the barber
On Okada with another
Yet another, heading for the border
Eating banana, smoking marijuana
As Obama, I hala
Oh Osama, see wahala

[Faithfulness Okom @AttorneyF_]

Met someone like this recently and it left me genuinely unsettled. Her parents are Muslims but her grandma was a Christian who raised her mom as one. Her mom later converted to Islam.

She doesn’t firmly identify with either religion right now cos her mom told her to wait and see who she marries and basically align with him. She is perfectly willing to marry either a Christian or a Muslim.

The first thing that crossed my mind was, you genuinely do not understand what either religion is actually claiming. Cos if you did, how could you delegate the destiny of your own soul to a marriage prospect?

This is also why I no longer do the kumbaya “we all worship the same God” performance. I have Muslim friends and colleagues. I can sit with you, eat with you, genuinely enjoy your company, and still tell you plainly that I do not believe in the substance of what you are doing, that I think it is completely baseless and remarkably flawed.

I have always maintained that friendship and sharp disagreement are not mutually exclusive. Sports, religion, I will tell you directly. The exceptions for me are human rights and politics. Not this.

Christianity makes a claim that cannot be softened, Jesus is God. Not a prophet. Not a moral teacher. God. And He is the only path to salvation and eternal life. If that claim is true, Islam is not an alternative road to the same destination. It is a fabrication from the pit of hell.

Paul did not mince words; “even if an angel brings another gospel, let them be accursed.” Under Christianity, Islam is accursed. The being that appeared to Mohammed was not Gabriel. It was a demon, which is precisely what Mohammed himself believed in that cave before Khadijah talked him out of it.

You cannot sit with that honestly and remain passive. It is not an option.
Floating between the two is a serious sign of existential unseriousness. I will respect the committed Muslim far more than the one swimming with the tides, cos at least the committed Muslim has grasped that the stakes are real.

And tbh there is a weight to this. Accepting Jesus as Lord can mean confronting what that implies about your late Muslim grandmother or cousin, or best friend. That is not a small thing. But that weight is not an excuse to commit to nothing. You never find peace with that. You just find a softer way to dodge the question. Lukewarm is not neutral, far from it. It is a answer in and of itself. And frankly imo it is the worst one.

[Oyinlola Akindele @oyinakindele]

This is a very wrong analysis of the event.

He preached about it and urged them to come forward, just like an “altar call” after a sermon. About 50 - 60 people did.

Then they went through counselling. Then they got married.

He didn’t get them married on the same day. That would be a disaster waiting to happen.
