@pluralistic OMG this bit here is NUTS!! š±š¤¬
I'm going to share this story everywhere.
Google is a strangler fig, in the long term its only goal is to kill the World Wide Web.
First they help you find good content, so people visit and use and enjoy and participate in good web sites.
Then they insist on scraping every piece of value they can, and presenting it to the user such that they never have to visit the websites at all.
Then the websites die, having been choked to death by the strangler fig, and people blame the websites for dying, not the strangler who bled them dry.
As brutal war rages and famine looms, look at pictures of Gaza and keep saying: āthis is not normalā | Nesrine Malik | The Guardian
This is not normal. This is horrific. Keep saying it; donāt let it become āambientā background. #Gaza

As a person who has actually ridden with harbor pilots before and wrote a whole book about shipping goods across oceans hereās a tiny bit of possibly clarifying detail about this horrible bridge tragedy:
If as reported there was a power failure on this container ship that could have been enough on its own to send it into the bridge.
Maneuvers for ships this large are incredibly tight when they are going in and out of harbors. We donāt think about it but harbor pilots perform miracles every day
