"Inflation is not about the dude at Arby's who got a 50 cent raise 3 months ago or a $1400 check 3 years ago. It's about corporations making record profits by ripping-off Americans so CEOs can spend trillions on stock buybacks & dividends. It's about corporate greed, boss."

Russian city in state of emergency after 'radiation leak'
April 6, 2024
NEW DELHI: "#Khabarovsk, the largest city in #Russia's far east, is under a state of emergency after a nuclear #RadiationLeak was detected.
"According to news reports, the authorities found high radiation levels near a power pylon located about 2.5 kilometers away from residential areas.
"No injuries or exposure to radiation have been reported, and officials have assured that there is no immediate threat to the citizens' health, as stated by the local branch of Russia's consumer safety watchdog, TASS.
"The radioactive material has been safely contained in a protective container and transported to a designated waste storage facility within Khabarovsk.
"However, the cause of this concerning radiation spike in the city remains unexplained by the Russian authorities.
"The state of emergency will remain for another three days as the law enforcement agencies investigate the origin of the leak.
"A person wearing a nuclear protective mask was observed in a with a radiation reader showing escalating levels as he moved towards a 'waste dump'. The device alarmed at 0.45 microsieverts, with a peak reading of 5.99 displayed on the screen. Despite the video evidence indicating potentially harmful radiation levels, it took approximately a week before any action was taken or the public was informed about the situation.
"An initial report from a 'boy' on 28 March was submitted to the Russian special services, leading to the belated declaration of a state of emergency. Andrey Kolchin, the head of civil defence in the city, confirmed the discovery of the radiation source, resulting in the cordoning off of the area and the urgent implementation of emergency measures."

Hmmm. I wonder what would happen if Costco stopped giving out samples of their items for sale? 🤔

Another timeless word-changing invention was the application of the inclined plane wrapped around a rod, which we now call a screw, but back in the day, screws were used to raise water from one level to another, and also for propulsion and coal feeders. The inclined plane couldn't be called an invention, but the first application of it was the world-changing technology.

Fact remains that after 6 months in, Israel's ops have failed to get all the hostages, dead or alive, released. All they achieved was killing Palestinians.

Pacific Black Duck
Mottled brown dabbling duck with distinctive striped head pattern. Note purple/green metallic panel on wing and slightly domed head. Common throughout range, often found on or beside ponds, wetlands, and rivers. Hybridizes with Mallard. Similar to female Mallard but note Pacific Black Duck’s darker coloration and distinctive striped cream head with gray bill, darker legs and feet. Also look for green speculum with black border in flight.

Told ya so. The only leverage Hamas has left is the belief that they still have releasable hostages. But who did the killing? Hamas or "friendly fire"? With friends like that, you can't tell 'em from the enemies.

SUMMARY: Hamas is sending a delegation to Egypt for ceasefire talks amid the six-month Israel-Hamas war. Israel has agreed to open a border crossing for aid after talks with Biden and Netanyahu. Democrats are urging Biden to condition military aid to Israel. Fundraising battles continue as Trump is expected to outpace Biden with a $50M haul. The New York AG is seeking information on Trump's $175M bond.
