His friend from upstream who called him to warn him about the flash floods and his quick thinking and decisive leadership saved the lives of everyone. He basically saved a generation of Nepalese 🙏
A few updates:
– A glacier broke/shifted along the Tibet/Nepal border
– The sudden shift released the equivalent of 950 tons of TNT detonating
– That allowed a glacial lake to essentially drain into the Triushuli River
– River swelled 50-100+ feet in height and 5X in width
'The city is dying' — Ukrainians in Kramatorsk brace for worst as Russian forces inch closer.
Just over 10 km from Russian troops, the city now faces heavy FPV drone attacks day and night.

We strongly condemn last night’s Russian attacks on Ukraine, which killed civilians and damaged homes, a school and a hospital.
Our airspace was violated again, and a drone came down on Moldovan territory. Russia must face far greater pressure to stop this.
Threatening to “bomb the shit” out of America’s oldest ally in the Middle East, a beautiful and peaceful place, right after insulting South Korea and threatening Denmark over Greenland, is entirely normal for America’s Dear Leader.
🇷🇺🇰🇵Nous n'aurions jamais dû laisser la Corée du Nord envoyer des troupes en Ukraine.
Cela aurait dû être une ligne rouge : si Pyongyang envoie des troupes, alors nous aussi.
Cette posture de faiblesse de la part de l'OTAN est insupportable. Nous avons laissé la Corée du Nord entraîner ses troupes chez nous, en Europe, à tuer des Ukrainiens. Il faut se rendre compte quand même de l'énormité de la chose, il y a 5 ans personne n'aurait pu l'imaginer.
Déjà que laisser la Corée du Nord tester ses missiles balistiques sur les villes ukrainiennes est une aberration mais le déploiement de troupes constitue une escalade certaine et intolérable. Les rumeurs selon lesquelles ils risquent d'en envoyer à nouveau devraient nous alerter sur la réponse à apporter.
L'Europe ne doit pas accepter que la pire dictature de la Terre entraîne ses troupes en Ukraine. Et si nous ne voulons pas envoyer nous-même nos soldats pour aider à défendre l'Ukraine, alors donnons-leur au moins les moyens de se défendre efficacement et levons les restrictions inutiles.
C'est un échec moral profond pour l'Europe que de laisser faire la Russie et la Corée du Nord.
The United States and North Korea do not have formal diplomatic relations, US citizens cannot even travel there, North Korea is providing Russia with artillery shells and troops for their genocidal war against Ukraine, but Trump admires the "respectful" North Korean dictator.
APPLEBAUM: There’s a long debate about whether Ukraine should be in NATO. It’s a moot point.
I would much rather see new set of security alliances that automatically include Ukraine.
Because Ukraine has the best military technology now, maybe in the world, definitely in Europe.
We should begin developing links with Ukraine, Ukrainian military technology, not focus solely on NATO.
Maybe, you know, that’s even healthier. Maybe it was always a bad idea to focus solely on NATO.
After all, it’s an alliance that was created at a different time, with different ideas and different geopolitics.
Think about this not as if we’re breaking up with America, hating Americans, and going home.
Rather, let’s keep what we have and also begin to build new institutions and new relationships.
Being a little more imaginative and creative about what security looks like would be good for everybody.
Per essere chiari: la Russia ha fatto saltare per aria a Colleferro (ad un tiro
di schioppo da Roma, pun intended) una fabbrica di munizioni che rifornisce le forze armate ucraine. E la nostra classe giornalistica e politica è così codarda da aver immediatamente seppellito la notizia sotto il solito nuvolone agostano di storie irrilevanti. Ciò, ovviamente, non farà che incentivare la Russia ad alzare ulteriormente l’asticella. Tu puoi nascondere la testa da struzzo quanto ti pare nella sabbia, ma, ad un certo punto, le vibrazioni delle esplosioni arriveranno anche lì.
My favorite capture of the night: The moment the moon's shadow split the sunset in half, leaving a diamond ring in the sky and a breathtaking view. I call it "Shadows on the Balearic Sea".
I'll have prints available for this one linked in my bio for a few days only.
One of the most difficult shots I ever took. Favaritx lighthouse right before totality in Menorca, with my friends at photopills. Shooting from a boat in choppy water. Never again 😂

President Trump backs President Infantino. Who’d have guessed? “FIFA would be making a terrible mistake if, for any reason, they even considered replacing President Gianni Infantino,” the President of the United States of America posted on his Truth Social account. “He is fantastic, having just presided over the most successful World Cup, by four times, ever presented. If he is gone, it will never be as successful or profitable again!”
Islamic Republic in Iran hangs 24-Year-old woman who defended herself from sexual assault
Yesterday the regime executed Marziyeh Neyri yesterday, a young woman who was forced into marriage at age 17 and hanged for fighting back against her attacker.
Marziyeh was 18 years old when her husband's associate attempted to sexually assault her in her own home, in front of her husband. She grabbed a kitchen knife to defend herself. Her husband died in the struggle.
She told the court she had been repeatedly assaulted by her husband's associates before that day. Iran's courts didn't care.
The regime rejected her self-defense claim. Her attacker, who survived, took the stand and called her a murderer. The court believed him over her.
She was sentenced to death.
No clemency. No mercy. The sentence was carried out at Chubindar Prison in Qazvin.
Marziyeh Neyri never had a chance. Forced into marriage as a child under Iran's Islamic laws, she spent the few years of her adult life in a courtroom, fighting for her life after defending it.
She lost.
This is the Sharia Laws in Islamic Republic of Iran where a woman can be hanged for surviving.
