"When your number's up, your number's up", my mum used to say:
November 16, 2012. Patrick Edlinger, a celebrated climber who had braved all dangers with his bare hands, accidentally dies by falling down the stairs at home.

Cleaner (2025)
When a group of radical activists take over an energy company's annual gala, seizing 300 hostages, an ex-soldier turned window cleaner suspended 50 storeys up on the outside of the building must save those trapped inside, including her older brother.

My plans to hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing were derailed by two days of rain and high winds, so we made a plan B: the Tama lakes track, which has somewhat less exposure but still gets up over 1400m. We’re lucky we didn’t try Tongariro given how tough the conditions were at Tama lakes – driving snow and winds on the ridge. But we were rewarded with good views and improving weather on the return trip. #hiking

Trump Economy 'Stalling Out' as Unemployment Rate Hits Highest Level in 4 Years | Common Dreams
"Trump may give himself an A++++ on the economy, but these latest jobs numbers are failing working families."

Evil stuff my mind cooks up:
Take a Rubik's cube apart and change it so that a corner piece has two adjacent stickers of the same color.
Then randomize the rest of the cube.
Give it to a solver and measure the time until they realize it's unsolvable.

So I grew up next to #Chernobyl and this is, well, TERRIFYING.
A story for y’all: I’m from a city called Zhytomyr, 2 hours west of Kyiv in the North of #Ukraine. We were downwind of the Chernobyl #nuclear power plant when the 1986 disaster happened.
I wasn’t born for another 12 years, but my childhood was filled with stories and the aftermath of it all. Things like:
- My grandmother worked as a head doctor in a hospital and rehabilitation facility exclusively for children of Chernobyl victims to treat the extremely high prevalence of Tuberculosis and other severe health complications. (To specify: these were SECOND GENERATION of exposure).
- A lot of the kids in that facility were orphans, because their parents died young from health problems.
- My uncle’s wife was born in Pripyat. She was 1 year old when the disaster happened. Her parents were told to evacuate while given no information about what happened. They had to pack up their things and rush out to an unfamiliar city with their baby, never to see the rest of their belongings, apartment, or hometown again.
- When I was a kid, it became so common to see weirdly mutated animals and insects that even 2-3 year olds would make jokes about “Chernobyl mosquitos” and I wouldn’t even flinch seeing occasional giant bugs, dark frogs, weird-looking dogs.
- We’d frequently hear of nearby farms having issues with their animals being born too mutated to survive or random outbreaks from contaminated water / food. Crops would randomly fail. People would get poisoned on a regular basis. This all got less common as I grew up.
- My mother still remembers being a little girl, 10 years old, and looking outside from their balcony at the clouds blowing over from Chernobyl that day. People were told to not go outside and to shut all the windows, but not given an explanation as to why. My mother swears that the rain looked different. They weren’t able to go and buy more food for the kitchen for multiple days.
Anyway - nuclear safety isn’t a joke. I don’t understand how this level of carelessness can happen after Chernobyl and Fukushima.

Who can stop the Rams? Updated Super Bowl 2026 odds as the NFL playoff race starts to heat up

After a coworker told someone to just deactivate IPv6 ("it only makes problems, noone needs that, it should be scrubbed completely"), we got into a heated discussion over a distance of several desks and space dividers.
Coworkers without IT-background pulled up chairs, brought snacks 🍿 , played Godzilla sounds from their phones.
They probably didn't understand most of the technical terms we shouted at each other, but they liked to watch.
