All they need to do is bring in a few Los Angeles criminals and vagrants. The cargo will be gone in five minutes and all recyclable metal will be gone in five days.

I’d have thought conservative media would be alarmed at a gateway sport leading to broomstick flying.
But hey, whatever gets kids up and moving is probably good in my book.

Increase in suicide rates seems to accompany collapse of empires and/or perceived societal decline. High rates of suicide were reported in Weimar Germany and in the final years of the Soviet Union and in the chaos of post-Soviet Russia (although accurate figures for the Soviet Union are difficult to obtain, since suicide was considered anti-Soviet and under-reported or covered up).
The rising suicide rate, along with falling life expectancy and rising infant mortality, were indicators which led Emmanuel Todd to predict the collapse of the Soviet Union in his 1976 book, La Chute finale.

Apparently both takeoff attempts ended with stuck flaps, leading to dumping 200,000 liters of jet fuel to lighten the plane and allow it to land.
Part of the reason for her trip was to be in Sydney in order to “return” a bunch of sticks (source - in German) to representatives of the Kaurna Yerta Aboriginal Corporation.
Machine translation below:
Four everyday objects were returned: a spear, a grave stick, a club and a net, which were collected between 1838-39 by the Protestant missionaries Clamor Wilhelm Schürmann and Christian Gottlob Teichelmann on behalf of the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Society Dresden. The missionaries worked in the region around Adelaide, South Australia, during the first colonial settlement of the area, which was characterized by the expulsion of the indigenous population from their country, the loss of their languages and their material culture. In addition to their missionary work, they researched the language of the Kaurna, made word lists and published them. Thus, they made a significant contribution to the documentation of the Kaurna language.
The Mission Society passed the objects on to the Dresden Historical Museum in 1840, which it donated to the Royal Zoological and Anthropological-Ethnographic Museum in 1877. The current Museum of Ethnology Dresden has been part of the State Ethnographic Collections Saxony ( SES ) since 2004, which belong to the State Art Collections Dresden ( SKD ).

Innovative new plan for reducing “gun violence” in the People’s Serene Democratic Paradise of Chicago:
Alder Maria Hadden, a Democrat, boosted a proposal by the group Native Sons calling for ‘The People’s Ordinance’ - a ceasefire between 9am and 9pm.
‘PROTECT THE YOUTH NO SLIDING WILE THE SUN IS OUT’ reads the all-caps promo, titled United For A Safe Summer.
They’re asking for the refrain from gunshots to reduce risk to Chicagoans who are ‘not involved in high risk activities.’
‘We have to start somewhere,’ Tatiana Atkins, co-founder of Native Sons, told CWB Chicago.
'Our goal is to approach our city’s gun violence problem strategically and not all at once. Things didn’t become this way overnight, and change won’t happen overnight.
Well, obviously, change won’t happen overnight if you declare the night to be free fire zone. But can the “People’s Ordinance” still the people’s ordnance at the crepuscule?
Atkins is hoping for more public support from politicians but ultimately, sees a perfect world in which no one fires a gun.
‘Not everyone is willing to drop their beef,’ she said. ‘If you aren’t mentally and emotionally equipped to solve disputes in a healthy manner, if you can’t help but harm each other – do so in a capacity in which children, elderly and those not involved in high-risk activities are less likely to be affected.’
Apparently, “sliding” is a word in the rap music patois one of whose dozens of meanings is to “press an issue/fight/shoot”.

Usually, a derailment is cleaned up in parallel from the side. This crash can only be cleaned up from both ends at a time.
