‘Indian aviation sector absolutely safe,’ says DGCA chief amid recent snags

Aviation watchdog DGCA’s chief Arun Kumar on Sunday said technical snags faced by domestic carriers in recent weeks did not have the potential to cause havoc and that even foreign airlines that came to India reported 15 technical snags in the last 16 days. The country’s civil aviation space is “absolutely safe” and all the protocols laid down by the International Civil Aviation Organisation…

REPORT: UNITED STATES OCCUPATION CONTINUES SUCKING WEALTH OUT OF EASTERN SYRIA

The official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) is reporting that the American military occupation in eastern Syria continues to suck wealth and resources from the West Asian nation.

According to SANA News, the US occupation is stealing wealth from the areas it continues to illegally occupy in the Hasakah province of eastern Syria, using its forces to load tankers and trucks with Syrian resources including oil and grains.

Local sources in the Al-Yaarubiya countryside, near the Iraqi border, in the Al-Hasakah Governate, told SANA that a US-occupation convoy consisting of 69 vehicles, including 45 tankers loaded with Syrian oil, along with 24 trucks loaded with grains stolen from silos in the Hasakah province, left Syrian territory through the illegal Mahmoudiyah crossing headed for US bases in Iraqi territory.

The report was published by journalist Nisreen Othman on April 22nd, 2024.

This is not a situation of waging war according to the laws of war and the Geneva Convention — this is a completely different philosophy of war where civilian lives are disregarded entirely.

Okay, fun SamBucky ask game!! Send this to five other people to keep it going ✨ Say one of your favorite things about SamBucky, your favorite SamBucky headcanon, or write a tiny microfic. Have a wonderful day!! 💕

Sam is proud to say he doesn’t flinch when he comes home to find the Winter Soldier on his couch.

The lights are off, the sun’s gone down, and Sam probably would’ve missed him if he hadn’t noticed his barbecue sauce missing from the top of the fridge of all things.

He should probably ask why the world’s deadliest assassin is sitting cross-legged on his couch, his hair tied back in a low bun and wearing one of Sam’s henleys and a pair of his old army sweats in a way that tells him he’s probably been staying here for a few days while Sam had been out searching the world for him with Steve. Instead he asks, “Did you use all my barbecue sauce? It’s polite to replace things you use if you’re gonna stay at someone’s house, you know?”

The Soldier looks up at him and shakes his head, wrinkles his nose, and Sam thinks maybe he should start calling him Bucky in his own head. “I put it in the fridge. It goes bad when you leave it out like that once it’s open.”

Sam blows a puff of air out of his nose, amused but not willing to laugh just yet. “Are you my roommate now? Any other habits you don’t care for?”

Bucky shakes his head again, just slightly enough for Sam to barely catch it in the dark. “You have a comfortable couch.”

Sam sighs and goes to the hall closet to get him a blanket. He wonders if being the retired fist of HYDRA makes enough to split rent 50/50.

I think SpaceX, engineering wise, is doing awesome work, but not under Musk and the demands of the US space program which are completely nonsensical. Having a gigantic Starship as a lunar lander to be "ready" in like 3 years is completely insane given that all Starships have done so far is blow up. I understand it's a very "physical" way of testing things, after all, car manufacturers do crash cars to test them they don't just test them virtually, but it does not generate confidedence that thing can carry humans.

Neither is NASA doing well as a whole, which is sucked dry by the military-industrial complex so they can only launch one absurdly powerful useless rocket every five years.

Neither of them are doing space exploration any favors lately (don't even ask about Roscosmos). SpaceX has a great engineering idea for it, but it's under the corporate rule of Musk and the mandates of the US goverment. It's not going to end too well if it keeps like that.

China is doing alright though.

Saw this Cree guy on tiktok essentially spreading misinformation that Crees are/were mound builders and anyone saying we weren't is "spreading lies" & his whole comment section was people thanking him for his "knowledge" like??? No, dude. Mound building wasn't really our thing. We liked NOT having a big ecological footprint, and that's why we lived in tipis & wigwams (even the word for tipi is originally closer to 'wigwam', mikîwâhp). Why would we build giant mounds if it goes against our worldview that you shouldn't harm or move the landscape more than necessary??

Part of his reasoning for this is the word "Mississippi" & that we extended all the way down to Florida because this word translates to mean the same thing in Cree as well (Misî-sîpiy) rather than acknowledging the fact that other Algonquian languages exist and have very similar languages to Cree, and will have very similar words (to the point of near exactness) & translations that mean the same thing, such as the tribes actually Native nearby the Mississippi.

“Reports of Spanish mistreatment of the New World natives prompted a severe crisis of conscience among significant sectors of the Spanish population in the sixteenth century, not least among philosophers and theologians. This fact alone indicates that we are witnessing something historically unusual; nothing in the historical record suggests that Attila the Hun had any moral qualms about his conquests, and the large-scale human sacrifice that was so fundamental to Aztec civilization appears to have elicited no outpouring of self-criticism and philosophical reflection among Aztecs comparable to what European misbehavior provoked among Catholic theologians in sixteenth-century Spain.

It was in the course of that philosophical reflection that Spanish theologians achieved something rather substantial: the beginnings of modern international law. Thus the controversy surrounding the natives of America provided an opportunity for the elucidation of general principles that states were morally bound to observe in their interactions with each other.”

PALESTINIAN CIVIL DEFENSE UNDER ISRAELI FIRE AS THEY SAVE LIVES FROM UNDER THE RUBBLE

📹 Gaza's Civil Defense works to save the lives of those trapped under the rubble of their homes while under fire from the Israeli occupation forces near Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip.

Despite the continuous shelling around them, the Civil Defense said they'd managed to recover the bodies of 10 Palestinians killed in the bombardment, but also saved several wounded civilians.

The statistics of #Sudan’s year of war are staggering. It is the largest displaced population in the #world and the largest population of #displaced #children in the world.

Civil War? Both sides were so stupid, this could have been solved with a few extra days, some words, and Thaddeus Ross shutting his stupid ass mouth for once in his goddamned life.

Scott and Peter were told "Hey the other side is fucking nuts dude, we need your help to beat the shit outta them" and like nothing else

I literally am so mad at everyone else involved for not using their brains for five fucking minutes, like oh my fucking god

Idk why but Uriel,Michael,Gabriel and Raphael give 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse vibes

i do think about this....and think it's pretty interesting when you consider it in the context of revelation - the horsemen are called by the living creatures, often contextualized as the four evangelists but, like i mentioned previously, connected back to the cherubim of ezekiel that are often thought of as representative of the archangels. if they're considered in this way, michael calls conquest/pestilence, uriel calls war, raphael calls famine, and gabriel calls death (if they are listed in the same order as they are introduced in an earlier chapter) i think it's interesting to see how to make these motifs fit and how the angels may fill the role of avatar with their horsemen (possibly as their destructive counterpart/natures). michael's, as conquest, is quite clear, that he destroys for god's army and sows fear by wielding such massive power over the weak (ALSO fascinated by the idea of him as pestilence because of well. his current state in the au lol esp as his rot can spread) uriel as war presents an interesting angle, but i think as the keeper of knowledge and the one who controls all the flow of information, he's absolutely a propaganda machine, and it would be incredibly easy for uriel, above anyone else, to start pointless dissent. raphael as famine is fairly direct, if not as much as michael, as he oversees health and growth, and so his is a role of absence - i like the idea that raphael commits his atrocities through pure dereliction of responsibility as he struggles much more than the other three being direct (esp as harm is contrary to his nature). gabriel, finally, comes as death, connected to his role in revealing apocalyptic visions, and pretty apt imo in the context of ultrakill/this au - he ended the rule of the council, he accepted the death of god himself, and as a fallen angel he has died and been reborn. it gives me a lot of ideas on how they may direct their righteous anger, and just what each is capable of
