Chornobyl disaster occurred in the early hours of April 26, 1986. Russia’s brazen attack on the $2 billion New Safe Confinement (the sarcophagus enclosing the destroyed reactor) in February 2025 poses a new potential radioactive danger as engineers race to repair the damage.
Chornobyl isn’t safe anymore... again

Just drank four cups of Irish Breakfast Tea with the same tea bag and totally forgot it has a ton of caffeine. Not supposed to drink that stuff. Tonight's going to be a bumpy ride.

There's a Sailor Moon game for the GameBoy that asks you if you're a boy or a girl, & if you choose girl all it does is turn on easy mode. There wasn't a point to this post, I just thought that was kind of messed up.

I can't wait for Public Domain Day next year. The Maltese Falcon, As I Lay Dying, Murder At The Vicarage, The Castle, and The Good Earth I'll be jumping right on. Then it's off to the races for authors and novels I've never heard of from 1930.

For those out there that are tight on cash, your local public library, Project Gutenberg, and the crown jewel of Standard Ebooks are available almost anywhere. I seriously can't recommend Standard Ebooks enough, so much great literature for free on any platform one desires. Give them some love!

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.
