this event will be eternally fascinating to me because it provides insight into human behaviour that no drill can because the people involved really did think it was real. the way people reacted, the choices they made, whether to shelter or just enjoy their last moments, etc
This is why people make 9/11 jokes. Because were still so sanctimonious about this event that weve now used to justify the killings of tens of thousands more people. Do Arabs not have kids and grieving partners? Do Afghans not have that?
Ratko Mladic, the convicted Bosnian Serb war criminal known as the "Butcher of Bosnia", has died while serving a life sentence in The Hague.
The former Bosnian Serb military commander was convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, including his role in the 1995 Srebrenica genocide, in which more than 8,000 Muslim Bosniak men and boys were killed.
Mladic evaded justice for nearly 16 years before his arrest in Serbia in 2011
Yuri Gagarin if born 50 years earlier would have lived almost his entire life farming mud and eating shit, if born 50 years later would have been blown up by a ukranian drone while high as shit.

Yesterday’s al-Qaeda commander becomes today’s “respectable president.”
I don't understand why this has never had a proper journalistic treatment. His Escort service website was online until 2015. The archive got scrubbed in 2024. Who were his clients? His employees?! Wtf, no one has ever touched this

Not just that, we are unable to trace ANY genealogical descent from antiquity to the present day.
There’s a tenuous thread in the Armenian Bagratuni family for Armenians, but that’s it
This is what a Jurassic forest may have sounded like.
By combining exquisitely preserved fossil wings with experiments on living insects, computer simulations, and machine learning, scientists have re-created what they say is a partial Middle Jurassic soundscape.
If the reconstruction is correct, one of the insect calls would be the oldest known evidence of ultrasonic communication in animals—long before echolocating bats appeared.

I have always said it, Yeji needs focused cameras on her footwork, the delivery is so pleasant to watch.
Americans get to murder infinity people around the world and they have to accept it. You cannot be upset, you cannot respond.
But if an American is ever harmed their pain is sacrosanct. They get to murder millions. It is actually wrong to even judge their murder spree.
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.
Wikileaks Vault 7 release showed that the CIA developed and documented tools specifically intended to make it look like anyone they wanted could be responsible for a hack
Just sayin
