At this point we should rewrite 'We Didn't Start the Fire' but instead of what 118 historical events over 40 years it's just the last the last 5 years.
These historical events impress me because they give interesting statements about technique and improvements on cameras made from the greatest inventors and photographers in history. I really like how these improvements have made such a huge impact on photography because without them, we wouldn't have better quality for any photos and videos we take and make. I also like that artists improved photography with brightness and different colored filters based on the environment, movies, tv shows, and other filters from different genres and media.
The event in 1880 interests me because the Kodak company creates many roles of frames with the right size for the camera to fit in with numerous amounts of frames with high or low height and width rates and I wonder which amount and size of frames is best depending on a camera that is rare or for a good price. The events between 1972 to 1983 interest and surprise me because the closer the lookup is for the shot of the camera, the more direct and better the view is on the subject for future generations.
First of all, I am rendered almost speechless. Whether one is British or otherwise, averse to monarchic rule or appreciative of it, you have to admit that this is a historical event of its own dimension. An era has come to an end, an era in which millions were born and died, not knowing another reality than that of the Queen of England. 70 years of rule can hardly be underestimated, despite the fact that the democratic system has pushed the throne and the Queen to the second row, leaving her with much less power than she would have probably expected back when she ascended it.
Her legacy is rich and diverse, full of good deeds and brave decisions alongside grave mistakes and wrongdoings. The question whether monarchy and royalty should be abolished or not did not die with Elizabeth. Seeing as the young people of today are less and less aware of historical legacies and developments and more rushing into an unknown future, eager to change whatever their ancestors have lived with, this dilemma will rise again and again, but I can only hope that for the British people (and whoever else), the Queen's stoicism and commitment to her service will always serve an example.
We live in interesting times indeed. May she rest in peace.

And if we were to speak in the terms of our beloved Wizarding World- if Snape and Harry Potter would have been real, she would have been part of their reality... and I cannot help but wonder whether in this fictional reality, as a "Muggle Queen", she would have been made aware by the MoM of the magical population of Great Britain and the Commonwealth, just as it is told about the "Muggle Prime Minister" .... I wonder if this event would have any impact on the wizarding community in the UK....what Severus or others might say about the matter and whether or rather who of the VIPs would attend the upcoming funeral....Everyone may have their own headcanons on this.....
I'm writing an article on how we (as humans) have always projected our fears onto others- other groups, other people, etc,.
I need sources for / examples of:
Historic events where Group A existed within their own culture or subculture with little to no issues with the outside world or society, until Group B showed up & persecuted Group A - but to justify it, Group B convinced themselves & Group C that Group A were doing specific terrible things to Group B and Group C, so really Group B We're being the heroes by obliviating Group A. Meanwhile, Group A never did those things, and it was actually Group B doing those exact things to Group A, while claiming they were simultaneously the heroes and the victims.
Times Group 1 were aware that certain crimes were being committed within their society, but they couldn't fathom one of their own doing it, and wouldn't acknowledge that most people in Group 2 were capable of it, so Group 1 invented an urban legend creature to blame the crimes on, but based it entirely on their nightmare version of Group 2.
We have traveled along all the world and its history and this is our last stop. The Fukushima's nuclear explosion. As known Fukushima is a district of Japan. Inside this district we find a village called Ōkuma, which is now a phantom village because of this explosion.
The Fukushima nuclear disaster, which unfolded in 2011, represents one of the most significant nuclear catastrophes in recent history. Triggered by a massive earthquake and tsunami, it led to a series of meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan. The aftermath of this event had far-reaching consequences, not only for Japan but also for the global nuclear industry and the broader understanding of nuclear safety and preparedness.
Japan is situated in a seismically active region, making it susceptible to earthquakes and tsunamis. The disaster was rooted in the historical context of Japan's vulnerability to natural disasters. The magnitude 9.0 earthquake and the subsequent tsunami in March 2011 severely damaged the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, leading to the failure of cooling systems and fuel rod meltdowns. This event rekindled discussions on the safety of nuclear power in earthquake-prone areas and raised concerns about the adequacy of safety measures.
The Fukushima disaster involved numerous key figures, including Prime Minister Naoto Kan, who played a central role in coordinating the government's response and later questioned Japan's reliance on nuclear energy. Masao Yoshida, the plant's manager, emerged as a hero for his efforts to control the crisis. The nuclear industry, regulators, and TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company), which operated the plant, also came under scrutiny.
Water was of paramount importance in the Fukushima nuclear disaster. It served as a critical coolant for the damaged reactors, essential for preventing overheating and further fuel rod meltdowns. However, the extensive use of water resulted in a new challenge—massive quantities of contaminated water. The need to cool the reactors and mitigate the spread of radioactive materials necessitated the pumping of seawater into the reactors, leading to a significant buildup of radioactive water that had to be carefully managed and stored.
The Fukushima nuclear disaster had enduring consequences, both for Japan and the world. It led to a reevaluation of nuclear power's safety, particularly in regions prone to seismic activity. The event also highlighted the complex relationship between nuclear technology, natural disasters, and the role of water in cooling and decontaminating nuclear facilities. As the world faces ongoing challenges in energy production, nuclear safety, and disaster preparedness, the lessons from Fukushima continue to inform policy decisions, safety regulations, and disaster response strategies. The importance of water conservation and responsible water management practices emerged not only in the context of the disaster itself but also in the long-term efforts to mitigate the environmental impact of the radioactive water buildup at the Fukushima site.
A death toll higher than the Nakba and people have nowhere to run to this time. That so called ceasefire is not a ceasefire, it's just a means to make Israel look merciful in the eyes of the hypocrites. Give the land back to palestinians and free them from this dictatorship and genocide
