The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant lost one of its two external power lines on November 14, leaving it dependent on a single line, Energoatom reports. A full disconnection could trigger an eleventh blackout at the Russian-occupied facility, posing serious radiation safety risks.

boston sent vital assistance following the 1917 halifax harbor explosion (so awful it killed 1700 people), and as thanks, nova scotia has sent us a christmas tree every year. it’s a nice little tradition. this is the first time the boston mayor visited to retrieve it in person
