Ned Hamson's Second Line View of the News1. Seth Rogen spoke up for science to the techbros whose $ supports an autocracy dedicated to the evisceration of research that makes our lives better by alleviating suffering. Zuckerberg, Bezos et al were there to celebrate the Breakthrough Prize, & Rogen called them out on their bad, bad faith. #Hero

Rajinikanth's 55-Year Unpaid Debt to Friend Raj Bahadur Who Made Him a Star

Superstar Rajinikanth owes his stardom to his childhood…
Blaze TrendsSaw a small act of heroism. A lady ran past me barefoot along the beach screaming that someone had taken her bag. I didn’t see it happen or how the everyday hero stopped the robber, but a guy got her bag back and she gratefully embraced him.
Reminder: we can always do SOMETHING to help someone.

I visited Robert Haus, a national neon treasure two days ago in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
I have known him online for years, and he moved from Alaska so now he is slightly easier to visit.
Robert has probably the best collection of historic neon artifacts, especially when it comes to old bending equipment, transformers, catalogs, and other difficult to find oddities. "Neon Archaeology" is his thing and his blog catalogs his journeys,

His setups were impressive- he has very comprehensive radio and electrical knowledge around neon bombarding systems. FOCI is lucky to have him around. I gave him some hand pulled tubing to play with in exchange for some coffee beans he roasted and some really old rare electrodes. It was so nice to meet him and his wife.

Heard this story the other day — a tragedy with an ending, finally. Hard to call it a happy ending, exactly —
"A Black sailor killed at Pearl Harbor finally comes home" — getting the remembrance he deserves.

@LavenderPawprints@fwoof.spaceIn 2006, following the tragic death of his 24-year-old son Eric in a motorcycle accident, Chris discovered a colony of 30 sick kittens near train tracks. He rescued them, nursed them back to health, and found solace in caring for these animals during his grief. This pivotal moment inspired him to dedicate his life to rescuing cats, leading to the creation of the Happy Cat Sanctuary.
The sanctuary became a haven for cats with no other options. Over the years, Chris took in cats that had been victims of hoarding situations, shot at or abused, targeted by gangs for use as bait in dogfighting rings, suffering from blindness or feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV,) or neglected or abandoned by their owners.

Chris ensured all cats were spayed/neutered, provided with medical care, and given a safe environment to heal and thrive. He even built heated perches, hammocks, and cozy shelters for them to enjoy.
Chris lived in an 8x10-foot bedroom within the sanctuary, with only a mini-fridge and microwave for himself. Every dollar he earned or raised went toward the care of the cats. His selflessness was widely recognized by friends and volunteers, who described him as a humanitarian who gave everything to ensure the well-being of animals.
Chris was in the process of relocating the sanctuary to a 30-acre property upstate, intending to create one of the best cat sanctuaries in the country. Tragically, he passed away before realizing this dream.
During the fire that claimed his life, Chris repeatedly ran into the burning building to rescue as many cats as possible. His actions saved dozens of lives but ultimately cost him his own. Volunteers and rescuers have since stepped in to continue his mission by caring for the surviving cats.

What a world.
When I think of my grandpa building the bombers that beat the German Nazis and my dad building the Apollo rockets 
that beat the Russians and now here we are where this Air Force #veteran has to demonstrate at the City County Building, alone, against Russian Nazis. #hero
What a world.

This is so sad, hugely significant and such a massive loss. We owe them so much, and I hope future generations never forget it.
I picked up this signed book years ago, and it’ll always be one of the most treasured on my bookshelf…

Eichhörnchen – Unser heimischer Superheld!
Doch auch diese stoßen an ihre Grenzen.
Was das Eichhörnchen vor neue Herausforderungen stellt:
Weniger Lebensraum – Durch Abholzung und Stadtwachstum fehlen Nistplätze und Nahrung.
Straßenverkehr – Viele Eichhörnchen geraten in Gefahr beim Überqueren von Straßen.
Konkurrenz durch das Grauhörnchen – In anderen Ländern bereits ein Problem, in Deutschland könnte es sich ausbreiten.
Klimawandel – Extreme Wetterbedingungen können Nahrungsknappheit verursachen.
Was wir tun können:
* Naturnahe Gärten mit heimischen Bäumen und Sträuchern anlegen.
* Im Straßenverkehr aufmerksam sein – besonders im Herbst, wenn Eichhörnchen Vorräte sammeln.
* Ein ganzjährig zugängliches Wasserangebot (z. B. eine flache Schale mit frischem Wasser)
Unser Eichhörnchen ist nicht bedroht – aber ein wenig Unterstützung schadet nie! #superman #hero #superheld #Eichhörnchen #NaturSchützen #naturschutz #WildtiereSchützen #umweltschutz
