Orenburg, Russia on April 10, 2023 vs. April 11, 2024. Significant number of neighborhoods appear to have been built in a floodplain. (Sentinel-2 satellite)

Brown looking city with a river running through the middle -- except now the river is completely full and running also through neighborhoods

@shezza_t our cycleway is visible from kms away across the harbour as a horrible linear light show. I thought bikes had lights anyway. #disaster

Floodwaters are still rising in Russia and Kazakhstan a week after rapidly melting snow caused several rivers to swell beyond control. Water levels in the Ural river, Europe’s third largest, have risen far above bursting point to over 10 meters (33 feet), forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes. A Kremlin spokesperson described the flood as the worst the region has seen in 80 years. Read more from BBC News.

1/ 's first words from The Designers Manual: DESIGN
PHILOSOPHY
"Although this book is about , it is also about
values & , & above all about a sense of
personal responsibility for earth care. I have written at
times in the first person, to indicate that it is not a
detached, impersonal, or even unbiased document
Every book or publication has an author, and what that author chooses to write about is subjective, for that person alone determines the subject, content, & the values expressed or omitted. I am not detached from,
but have been passionately involved with this earth,
& so herein give a brief vision of what I think can be
achieved by anyone."

2/ "The sad reality is that we are in danger of perishing from our own stupidity and lack of personal responsibility to life. If we become extinct because of factors beyond our control, then we can at least die with pride in ourselves, but to create a mess in which we perish by our own inaction makes nonsense of our claims to consciousness & morality.
There is too much contemporary evidence of
which appalls me, & it should frighten you, too. Our consumptive lifestyle has brought us to the brink of annihilation. We have expanded our right to live on the earth to an entitlement to conquer the earth, yet “conquerors” of nature always lose. To accumulate wealth, power, or land beyond one's needs in a limited world is to be truly immoral, be it as an individual, an institution, or a nation-state."

Back of the napkin calculation says the MV Dali struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge with a force somewhere around ~469 meganewtons.

Numbers I started with are 114,000 tons loaded and 8 knots coming to a halt in 1 second.

If you want some comparisons for the force of the MV Dali hitting the Francis Scott Key bridge:

38 Space Shuttle solid rocket boosters at liftoff.

1/11 of the force exerted by water on the Hoover Dam's walls.

4/5th of the total force of incident photons from sunlight on the planet Earth.

Video of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsing.

Terrible disaster. This bridge is critical infrastructure for Baltimore, part of the major highway ring that goes around the city.

A massive container ship took out one of the two main bridge supports and the bridge immediately failed.

"PBS: The World Meteorological Organization issued a red alert warning Tuesday about warming and climate change, saying 2024 is shaping up to be another record year. One of the many worries about how the planet is changing, thanks in part to human activity, is the record-shattering warming of the world's oceans. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/climate-researcher-on-whats-causing-the-record-rise-in-ocean-temperatures

Don’t know if it’s true, but I have just heard from my sib Tidy that “a state of emergency” has been declared for Austin the weekend of the eclipse. She says so many fucking weirdos are heading down here to stare at the sun through cardboard gas station glasses that the population is expected to DOUBLE. My weekend farmhand has already told me she won’t be coming in because she fears the traffic. IN JOHNSON CITY TEXAS, POP 1627. I cannot get behind this. Stay home. I beg of you.

will be the 1st in the fed govt to roll out a plan to integrate into a variety of uses, from to helping survivors.
DHS has seen the opportunities & risks of firsthand. It found a victim by using AI to create an image of the child 10yrs older. But it has also been tricked into investigations by AI created .

Today in Labor History March 18, 1937: A natural gas explosion in New London, Texas killed over 300 students, teachers and parents in the worst public-school disaster in American history. The event led to worldwide sympathy. Even Hitler sent a telegram of condolences.
