November 12th, 1970, 450kg of dynamite is placed in the sand on the leeward side of the 45ft deceased sperm whale, the resulting blast is recorded and broadcast on KATU
the explosion launched chunks of whale nearly a fifth of a mile, some large enough to damage vehicles

Okay, you touch down in the surf - not ideal. But the tail’s gone man, why take it up again? Just turn off the spinny bits and wade ashore
Four employees from a Russian defence manufacturer along with a mechanic were killed when the private helicopter they were in crashed and burst into flames.
The aircraft's tail clipped the ground and broke, and the pilot was unable to regain control over the Caspian Sea.

Jesus christ i hate this shit. I DO NOT WANT THIS AS A CUSTOMER. I do my very best to be “on” in public but some days I do not have any capacity for eye contact left and now if I don’t perform at the store I’ll be fucking over some poor guy who just doesn’t want to get yelled at by his manager? Fuck
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

For months, Mohamed Khamis Douda shared accounts of what life was like under siege. He was killed when RSF fighters finally took the Darfur city, raising fears activists and civil society figures are being hunted down

As we witness horrific scenes in El-Fasher, the UAE continues arming the RSF — which the U.S. has determined is committing genocide.
Enough. We must pass my bill to block arms sales to the UAE until it stops fueling the RSF's war crimes in Sudan.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.

The end of this video features a lovely example of the use of “guys” by a woman to refer to two other women. Guys as a plural referring to a group of women (and no men) has become quite common locally, mostly with the younger folks. I had not yet heard it on the news!
