    Many people recognize this compositionFor example it's known as a #Christmas carol, "Carol of the Bells" in the USABut the original title is "#Shchedryk"Composed in #Ukraine by Mykola Leontovych about 110 years agoThe original lyrics tell a story of a swallow flying into a household at #NewYears. To sing of the wealth that will come in SpringtimeHere it is symbolically performed in the machine hall of a thermal power plant destroyed by Russian strikes#UkraineWar

    @gimulnautti @RustyRingit was sarcasmbut because there is no vocal tone or facial expressions on social media, we have to explicitly indicate when we are being sarcasticlike a (/s) or a winky emoji, whateversome people resent thisthat everyone should be able to see it. that the indicator cheapens their witokbut somebody will think you're serious, regardless of who is at fault, and then we get dramawe have to indicate sarcasmno way around it

    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. https://www.404media.co/power-companies-are-using-ai-to-build-nuclear-power-plants/

    Two crew members of a Russian "shadow fleet" tanker seized off the French coast have been taken into custody. The tanker is suspected of being involved in drone overflights in Denmark, and the two detained crew members "presented themselves as the ship's captain and his first mate", he said.
