BC ACCIDENT
Saved by @Alex1Powell

As the sun came up over West Virginia's Kanawha Valley after a scary night, thinking of chemical plant workers and their families .. a thread … /1

 Neighbors with questions about a horrible explosion. Finding answers. Whether we’ve learned anything after going through this time and again. /2

https://t.co/VKCqKfSalK
There’s never enough information when the chemical siren goes off. What happened? Is everybody OK? What was released? How much? Should we shelter or run? /3
These questions were supposed to be answered after Bhopal, (36 years ago this month: https://t.co/iiUlu2Zk7t) with passage of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act https://t.co/wjaHnUzqMu in 1986. / 4
Some of this information - chemical inventories, worst-case scenarios, response plans - is available (try https://t.co/4ojZWa4nF6) . But too much is hidden away, especially after post-9/11 secrecy measures. /5
Emergency responders do so much for our communities. But often agencies are too cautious with what they tell us. Just as often, companies are the blockers (for example: https://t.co/ZFhznvNDrt) /6
What chemicals are stored in large quantities matters. For so many years, our community lived in the shadow of far more methyl isocyanate than was released at Bhopal. https://t.co/xGv0idi7tJ /7
But how will we know what happened at Belle? What we learn depends on what kind of investigation gets done. /8
OSHA? They check for violations of specific safety standards. EPA or DEP? Maybe they look for permit exceedances. Local officials? No chance. /9
The only real root-cause investigations in our chemical valley in the last 30 years have been by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board. Wonder if anyone will urge them to come back to help us again? / 10
These @chemsafetyboard probes have been enlightening. https://t.co/GlyCsrYpVY /11
They’ve found that disasters usually come from a string of safety deficiencies https://t.co/Qk5umGAIeY /12
They’ve found that there were safer ways to do things that were often ignored https://t.co/vxQjRcYi1Y / 13
(That one was at the same site where last night’s explosion occurred. A plant worker named Danny Fish died https://t.co/aCSVqRPgFV /14
They’ve found that the government’s failure to act on known risks and implement new safety rules is often at fault https://t.co/mnR4asyuk4 /15
And they’ve found that sometimes potential disasters were hidden in plain sight if only we bothered to look https://t.co/l2QUMuPBMc /16
But I keep thinking about how a way to help prevent these things has been just ignored for so many years by state and local officials:
https://t.co/WJufv2adYs /17
The great historian John Alexander Williams writes of West Virginia and its “seemingly endless series of disasters.” /18
Williams was talking about coal, but it applies to so many things in our beloved, but troubled, state. And it doesn’t have to be this way. /end

TRUMP: "I've decided to eat babies."

PEOPLE: "He can't eat babies, that's super illegal."

TRUMP, on TV, eating babies, not even cooking them first: "People are saying that I really am the best baby-eater, folks."

NYT: "Trump Vs. Babies: The Rhetoric On Both Sides Must Stop"

Jeff Flake tweets: "It is a sad day in America when this callous man can eat babies live on TV"

Jeff Flake, 10 seconds later, votes to help him install a series of 4,000 new judges that are very, very pro-babyphagia.

Judge Kavanaugh, found drunk in a Capitol Hill closet: "I LIKE BEER. OKAY? I LIKE BEER AND I LIKE BABIES AND THAT'S NOT SO WRONG. THAT'S RIGHT. I LIKE BABIES DIPPED IN BEER. I JUST DIP EM. IN THE BEER. THE BABIES. THE BABIES I EAT. OKAY? THAT'S AMERICA."

Mike Pence, wringing his hands about the baby-eating: "We must take care of our children. Our youngest must be protected on this troubling day."

Mike Pence then invites a Baby Chef to say a prayer.

Twitter Users: "It's a distraction technique! Trump eating babies is trying to DISTRACT YOU from ALL THE OTHER HORRORS, which are themselves distractions from the BABY-EATING. It's DISTRACTIONS ALL THE WAY DOWN."

Trump: *eats tons of babies at a rally*

*literal tons of babies*

SRI KALAHASTI KSHETRAM, CHITTOOR (AP)
#bharatmandir

Panchbhootasthalam representing vayu element, also called Dakshin Kailasha.
As per Shiva’s boon, Vayu is incarnated here as Shiva and worshipped as Kalahasteeswara.
The kshetram is also associated with Rahu and Ketu.


The Kshetram is named after 3 devotees of Shiva- a snake, spider and elephant who worshipped a lingam in the forest. Elephant did jal abhishek with water from its trunk, spider protected it from dust by weaving a web on it and snake adorned it with his jewel.
@GunduHuDuGa


Once, the web and jewel got washed away when elephant sprayed water on the lingam. Angered snake entered elephant’s trunk and bit him but died in the process. The agitated elephant trampled the spider accidentally. Shiva gave moksha to all three.


Hence the name-Sri for Spider, kaal for snake n hasti for elephant.

Shiv bhakt Kanappa is said to have plucked his own eye to put it on the lingam here when he saw blood oozing from the eye on the lingam
This place is the ultimate location for Rahu Kethu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana.

1/ Here are my notes from @robertwrighter's book - Nonzero: the logic of human destiny. I enjoyed the book very much.

The basic premise of the book is that history has a direction which favors co-operation and non-zero sum games, and that causes an increase in complexity.


2/ Starting from the first replicating molecule which co-operated with an outer layer to form first proto-cell, evolutionary and cultural history is full of examples where two entities come together to survive and progress a lot more than they would have done individually.

3/ This co-operative entity fares much better than two individual entities because of specialization. If two entities are in the same boat - that they win together or lose together - then trust is implicit.

4/ In a non-zero sum game, trust causes entities to focus on what they do best.

For example, eukaryotic cells - the ones animals and plants have - emerged when two proto-cells merged, and one took the role of energy generator (mitochondria), the other specialized in protection.

5/ Some scientists believe that even nucleus in a cell is a result of an early cell merging with another cell.

So M&A is not a recent phenomena, entities have been merging because of common interests ever since life started.

Ok I was wrong about theHouse. 2 years of legislative gridlock = not fun. Few bills passing.

Control of the House is useless when it comes to keeping Trump from declassifying all the SpyGate docs. Or stopping an Inspector General from releasing a report.

Trump still gets control of judicial appointments so we can expect another 100 judges over the next two years. This time there’ll be no McCain or Flake playing the Maverick role with their swing vote.

That new margin in the Senate is huge if another Supreme Court seat comes open.

So from the responses I’m getting, people seem to think if Trump declassifies the Spygate stuff now, nothing happens.

Are you under the impression federal prosecutors have to wait until CONGRESS finishes an investigation and makes criminal referrals before the DOJ can act?

There’s a federal grand jury on McCabe right now. Did Congress ever finish it’s investigation and make a referral to the DOJ against him?

No.

BUT INSPECTOR GENERAL HOROWITZ DID. On finishing his McCabe leak report.

Funny how nobody remembers that.
