This video is incredible.

Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

We have never seen anything like this. Remember that even in Hiroshima some stone houses survived, but most of the buildings were timber and burned down. Of course explosive power used in Gaza exceeds Hiroshima by at least one order of magnitude (10*)

"We cannot leave the security of Europe in the hands of voters in Wisconsin every 4 years" says France's Europe Minister

"Let's get out of collective denial. Europeans must take their destiny into their own hands, regardless of who is elected 🇺🇸president"

In 1939, as Hitler's war machine prepared its blitzkrieg across Europe, Madison Square Garden played host to the American Nazi Party, known as the "German American Bund." 20,000 Nazis polluted our greatest city to whip up support for their genocidal aims. 1/

We zitten in een asielfuik.

Al weken, maanden, jarenlang laten we ons aan de hand nemen in de dans van het populisme. Nederlanders worden tegen elkaar opgejut door cynische politici die gedijen bij polarisatie.

Waarom? 40.000 mensen per jaar — 0.2% van Nederland.

Humans continue to argue and fight and kill each other while the planet heats up, storms and heat and famines get steadily worse. What a cosmic failure of leadership at all levels and for decades. At least declare a climate emergency.

Just your annual reminder to raise a glass to Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov who on this date in 1983 saved your life when he decided to wait for evidence in stead of passing on the message that could have caused armageddon.

*onderzoek alert*

In de geschiedenis van de aarde is het aanzienlijk warmer geweest - we zitten in een uitzonderlijk koele periode.

Maar:

In de afgelopen 485 miljoen (!) jaar is de temperatuur op aarde nog nooit met zo’n grote snelheid gestegen.

Alarmerender kan niet.

Did you know Japan has had around 5,000 castles throughout its history- but only 100 remain?

And out of the current 100, only 12 are original...

Let's explore the 12 original remaining Japanese Castles...🧵

Dit is het beste stukje over Caroline van der Plas ooit. En ik denk dat heel wat #BBB'ers allang weten dat dit klopt. https://t.co/y2FbmScgnp

Very sad news.

Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei has died days after being doused in petrol and set on fire by a former boyfriend, a Ugandan official says.

@mikofLohr Zijn ook maar weer weg gegaan, erg jammer! Misschien volgend jaar beter op orde..

[Stephen Barlow @SteB777]

What I mean by this, in plain and simple language, is if we do nothing, the impacts are going to be terrible and catastrophic. Whereas, if we do act appropriately, it means radically changing the system in which we live. There is no future where things remain as they are.
