Forty years after the Chernobyl disaster, a science writer explains what went wrong with the nuclear power facility and why. Long answer short, it was Soviet hubris, and fossil fuels are still much more dangerous than nuclear.

I'm going to do a full context video report tomorrow because it's important for other #Canadians to know how the #GovernmentOfCanada has tried to bully my Mom since even before #BCNDP #BCgovernment #FailuresToProtect citizens with #covid.

This is now the 3rd time that federal government has severely fucked up & demanded my Mom - who has been fucking retired early since Summer of 2020 - to pay them back funds she's eligible for. First time they fucked up was in 2022 & it took 9 months for feds to admit they fucked up & they had to send Mom retroactive payments while we were planning Dad's funeral. 2nd time they fucked up was 1 year after & they stopped her OAS payments & also threatened her with stopping all federal benefits that she earned from working her entire life after coming to Canada as a war refugee in November 1980.
It took over 11 months for feds to stop threatening my family for yet another one of their admin fuck ups. Their big fuck ups end up putting more traumas on our backs. Yes - we are fucking ANGRY.

'Ministers are clawing back more than £250m from #UnpaidCarers over #BenefitInfringements that occurred largely as a result of #GovernmentFailures'

'...a successions of ministers have failed to fix the problem, leaving tens of thousands of unpaid carers – who save the UK £160bn a year and help prop up #NHS and #SocialCare services – in financial hardship while they repay the debt'

A few of my friends' kids have recently returned from some Summer camps. 8 kids & 6 parents so far are now totally sick with covid. This isn't good whatsoever. There's going to be more kids, parents & school staff getting sick once schools open again. No mask mandates & very little changes in air quality controls in schools in #BritishColumbia .
