Yesterday, the Gloria funicular in Lisbon suffered a catastrophic failure that caused 17 dead, so far. This "accident" and its aftermath is certainly going to reveal a lot of the shitshow resulting from the modern mindset of privatization, incompetence and private-car focused politics.
This is a funicular system with 2 electric cars, and a cable connecting both cars. The cars act as a counterweight but, unlike a traditional gondola, the cars themselves have a motor that pulls them uphill.

La imagen es una caricatura que muestra a tres tortugas en un paisaje desértico. Dos tortugas grandes están juntas, con una de ellas hablando en un burbuja de diálogo que dice: "No estoy seguro de que podamos mantener nuestra relación en secreto mucho más tiempo." La tercera tortuga, más pequeña, observa a las dos grandes desde la distancia. Las tortugas tienen caparazones dorados con patrones complejos y patas verdes. El fondo muestra un cielo naranja y un bosque de árboles azules. La imagen es humorística y sugiere una relación entre las dos tortugas grandes, mientras que la pequeña parece ser testigo de esta situación.

United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs #UN #OCHA periodical update on #Gaza:
- At least 63,746 Palestinians #killed by now, including¹ at least 18,430 #children (of which 931 younger than 1 year; 356 killed immediately after birth), and 9,735 #women.
- 1,135 people seeking aid killed near militarized distribution sites [#GHF]
- More than 1,590 health workers killed².
- After a complete halt of entry of all humanitarian supplies into Gaza, Israel has permitted "basic" imports starting May 18th 2025. The amount and the mode of distribution of the permitted imports are still utterly insufficient, with killings reported at militarized aid distribution points.
- It is expected that between mid-August and the end of September 2025, all 1.98 million people for which data were available will face crisis or worse levels of acute food insecurity (IPC 3 and above), including 1.14 million people in the emergency phase (IPC Phase 4), and 641,00 people facing catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 5).
- 1.875 million people in need of emergency shelters.³
- About 92% of all #housing units either destroyed (160,000) or damaged (276,000)
- Israel has declared 86.5% of Gaza as restricted military areas, or issued "evacuation" (displacement) orders for them.

Il 9 settembre ho un esame di storia antica, fino al primo settembre la durata di 1 giorno equivaleva a circa 1 quarto d’ora.
Per quale motivo dal primo settembre la durata di 1 giorno equivale a circa 4 mesi?
@cretinodicrescenzago La mia è solo un’ipotesi ma penso che per 2 motivi mi abbia tenuto a parlare così poco: ero l’ultimo della giornata (tutti gli altri 5 tenuti almeno almeno 40 minuti) e poi dovevo fare solo metà esame perché l’altra metà l’avevo fatta con un esonero a cui avevo già preso 30 e lode.
Però a ripetere la pappardella non ci sono capace 😂 io di mio più che dirgli a memoria le cose sul Giappone argomentavo su varie teorie (Kyūshū vs Kinki) con i reperti a sostegno

Rutte: “No ingenuità su #Russia, produrre più #armi per ridurre divario”
I Paesi della #Nato, gli europei ma anche gli Stati Uniti, devono produrre più armi per la loro difesa e per "ridurre il divario con la Russia". E "l'Europa non sia ingenua rispetto alla Russia, che resterà una forza conflittuale e destabilizzante nel mondo". Lo ha dichiarato il Segretario generale della Nato Mark #Rutte.

"Many wildfire veterans believe the management team overseeing the fire crews played a key role in handing over the firefighters to immigration authorities.
Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors familiar with the incident, who shared their belief that the top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. Most of them spoke privately for fear of retaliation."

The image shows a tweet from a user named "Ygrenë™" with the handle "[@]Ygrenë." The tweet is presented on a black background with white text. The content of the tweet reads: "Imagine being a witch and you're all excited because you just brewed up a wicked potion but then you realize now you gotta clean out that cauldron and it's too big for the dishwasher ugh." The tweet is accompanied by a circular profile picture featuring a cartoonish character wearing a yellow cap and a blue shirt, with stars around the head. The overall tone of the tweet is humorous, playing on the contrast between the excitement of brewing a potion and the mundane task of cleaning a large cauldron.

in reply to Miguel Arroz • • •Preliminary data points to a cable failure (either the cable snapped or disconnected from one of the cars) and a total failure of the emergency braking system.
This is a heritage system, and the cars are more than 100 years old. This is where the problem begins: there’s nothing wrong with operating cars this old, *if* they are maintained properly by people who know them intimately.
Miguel Arroz
in reply to Miguel Arroz • • •However, 14 years ago, maintenance stopped being made by the public Lisbon transit operator (Carris) and was outsourced to private companies through public bidding. At least two companies serviced this system during that period.
Why is this a problem? On equipment this old, maintenance can’t be learned on books. There are decades of institutional knowledge that needs to be passed down from the more experienced staff to new hires. That knowledge was thrown away on each contract.
