@HeatherR411 it was actually the first eaglet that passed, the one doing the bonking/“attacking”. since it passed during the heavy snowstorm, that’s probably what killed it. the “attacks” at that stage aren’t serious or lethal, it’s just to establish a pecking order.
what you're looking at is a fuel depot burning in the middle of a megacity of 9 m people & nobody is talking about what this smoke actually contains
when refined petroleum burns at this scale it releases a cocktail of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds, these particles are small enough to bypass bypass your lungs entirely and enter your bloodstream directly…
we're talking PM2.5 concentrations that can spike to 50 to 100 times safe levels within a 20km radiu
right now in tehran people are breathing this in, eyes burning, throats closing, children coughing, asthmatics flooding emergency rooms & outside acid rain is falling on the water supply, the soil, the crops…everything that sustains daily life in a city of 9m
but the real damage comes later, years later, elevated cancer rates, leukemia clusters, respiratory disease, cardiovascular failure, neurological damage, reproductive issue
this is what happened after the Kuwait oil fires in 1991, after the mosul refinery burns in 2016, after every single conflict where fuel infrastructure was deliberately targeted, the medical literature on this is extensive & devastating
deliberately bombing fuel infrastructure insidde a civilian megacity knowing full well what the toxic fallout does to the population over decades is chemical warfare without the label, you achieve the same mass casualty outcome over a longer timeline and somehow it stays legal because the weapon is fire instead of sarin
these people are being sentenced to cancers they will develop in 2035 by bombs dropped in 2026 & they call it liberation
there is quite literally no possible explanation or reasoning that could excuse the mass environmental destruction and indiscriminate loss of human life. this will kill people not only today but for years to come
we got kids in special needs schools that need funding
we got destitute people who don’t have a clear path that need funding
we have animal shelters that are always overcapacity that need funding
we have families struggling to make it that need funding
but AI needs funding
Can a journalist do an article about the data centres in Singapore and how much water they're using. I think we deserve to know how much of our resources are being used for these things
I only played a bit of it, because after a very short while I knew I needed to play this day 1 when it fully releases. It's actually so funny???? and so well-written; too many DE-inspired projects fail to hit the mark, but this is so so good. Pleeease check this out!!
After writing 1,25 million words, after spending years pitching this mix of my two favorite games of all time: Planescape: Torment and Disco Elysium...
ESOTERIC EBB is FINALLY FINISHED!

my mom told me once that when my parents were younger and struggling to provide for us kids, a priest she knew quietly handed her an envelope of cash, unprompted.
There's a lady on tiktok calling churches saying she needs help buying formula for her baby just to see if they will actually help their communities. She's called 20+ places and so far only a mosque and a tiny little church in Appalachia have offered to help.
