Since I've read a few news stories on this and none of them linked to the actual fucking report: the US Coast Guard has just released a hefty (335 pages!) investigation report into the June 2023 OceanGate Titan implosion.
The board determined the primary contributing factors were OceanGate’s inadequate design, certification, maintenance and inspection process for the Titan. Other factors cited in the report include a toxic workplace culture at OceanGate, an inadequate domestic and international regulatory framework for submersible operations and vessels of novel design, and an ineffective whistleblower process under the Seaman’s Protection Act.

Can we finally stop pretending that what we have been witnessing in Gaza over the past 22 months is a “war,” a “conflict,” or even a “humanitarian crisis”?
Many of the world’s leading human rights and humanitarian groups – including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Doctors Without Borders – agreed months ago that what is being livestreamed to our phones on a daily basis is indeed a genocide.

"The University of Edinburgh, one of the UK’s oldest and most prestigious educational institutions, played an “outsized” role in the creation of racist scientific theories and greatly profited from transatlantic slavery, a landmark inquiry into its history has found.
The university raised the equivalent of at least £30m from former students and donors who had links to the enslavement of African peoples, the plantation economy and exploitative wealth-gathering throughout the British empire, according to the findings of an official investigation seen by the Guardian.
The inquiry found that Edinburgh became a 'haven' for professors who developed theories of white supremacism in the 18th and 19th centuries, and who played a pivotal role in the creation of discredited 'racial pseudo-sciences' that placed Africans at the bottom of a racial hierarchy."

Exclusive: Investigation finds one of Britain’s oldest and most prestigious universities benefited from transatlantic slavery and was haven for white supremacist theoriesSeverin Carrell (The Guardian)
"The University of Edinburgh is considering whether to unadopt an internationally recognised definition of antisemitism that critics say inhibits freedom of speech on the subject of Israel and Palestine.
Edinburgh, one of Britain’s oldest and most prestigious universities, is also considering whether to divest from companies accused of enabling alleged human rights violations by Israel.
Both issues are being reviewed by university authorities as a report on the legacy of its historical links with the region is published. The report is part of a broader investigation of the university’s involvement in colonialism and slavery."

"As global population ages and dementia rates climb, scientists may have found an unexpected ally in the fight against cognitive decline.
Cats and dogs may be exercising more than just your patience: they could be keeping parts of your brain ticking over too. In a potential breakthrough for preventive health, researchers have found that owning a four-pawed friend is linked to slower cognitive decline by potentially preserving specific brain functions as we grow older."

Vijf beklaagden vrijgesproken voor weerspannigheid tijdens manifestatie van "Code Rood" aan luchthaven van Deurne: "Geen bewijs"
Vijf beklaagden zijn dinsdag voor weerspannigheid tijdens een manifestatie van "Code Rood" eind 2023. De correctionele rechtbank van Antwerpen vond het voor drie van hen niet bewezen dat ze aanwezig waren. De twee anderen namen wel deel aan de actie, maar de rechtbank zag geen bewijs dat ze weerspannig waren geweest.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ LOR.SH - IS SHUTTING DOWN SOON ⚠️⚠️⚠️
As has already been stated in announcements, this will happen in a couple of months.
Because of this, I've noticed more than once that everyone is creating threads like "where do we go now."
Since I have a pretty decent outreach, I propose creating the ultimate "where do we go now" thread.
In it, I suggest:
👉 Discussing what to do next and why there's no need to panic
👉 Where you can register a new account
👉 How you can "migrate" to a new account
👉 Discussing hosting your own personal server
👉 If possible, bringing up any questions not yet addressed in this thread that may be bothering you
#️⃣ I also suggest using the hashtag #LorshMigration for anyone who wants to talk about this now or find each other after the server shuts down, in case something goes wrong. I'm already following it and posting under it with my thoughts on the move or sharing useful info.
📔 If you'd like, you can participate in a subthread for a "census" of people who've moved, stating where you moved from and where to.
ℹ️ Please remember that this thread is not communication with support staff, but just a chat with people who decided to help out on their own initiative.
🫡 Thanks to all the users. I wish you all a cozy new home.
⚠️⚠️⚠️
DON’T FORGET that Mastodon has a migration feature, and you can take all your followers with you. You don’t need to start from scratch and lose your connections! To learn more – keep reading the thread!

⚠️⚠️⚠️ LOR.SH - ЗАКРЫВАЕТСЯ ⚠️⚠️⚠️
Как уже было написано в объявлениях, это произойдёт через пару-тройку месяцев.
В связи с этим я уже не первый раз вижу то как все создают треды "куда бежать".
Так как у меня достаточно неплохой "outreach", предлагаю сделать ультимативный тред "куда бежать".
В нём предлагаю:
👉 Обсудить что теперь делать и почему не нужно паниковать
👉 Где можно зарегистрировать новый аккаунт
👉 Как можно "переехать" на новый аккаунт
👉 Обсудить хостинг своего персонального сервера
👉 По возможности обсудить не поднятые в этом треде вопросы, которые вас волнуют
#️⃣ Также предлагаю хэштег #LorshMigration для тех, кто хочет сейчас что-то обсудить по теме или после закрытия сервера найти друг друга если что-то пошло не так. Я уже подписан на него и сам пишу под ним посты о своих впечатлениях о переезде или делюсь информацией по теме.
📔 Если есть желание можете поучаствовать в субтреде переписи переехавших указав откуда и куда вы переехали.
ℹ️ Пожалуйста, помните, что этот тред - это не общение со службой поддержки, а просто переписка с людьми, которые по своей инициативе решили вам помочь.
🫡 Всем пользователям lor.sh - спасибо. Желаю вам найти себе уютное новое пристанище.
⚠️⚠️⚠️
НЕ ЗАБЫВАЙТЕ, что в Mastodon есть функция миграции и вы можете унести всех подписчиков с собой. Начинать жизнь на новом сервере с нуля и терять связи - не нужно! Чтобы узнать подробнее - читайте тред дальше!
