In the democratic world is "Never again", in the Russian world - "We can and will proudly repeat"
Attacked electricity generation and transmission facilities in Poltava, Kirovohrad, Zaporizhzhia, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Vinnytsia regions.
I urgently recommend you to watch Zelenskyy's speech. I was literally crying from the start. I even downloaded video but Tumblr once again crushed for me. I'm sorry.
Back to modern time.
At night, Russians attacked three DTEK thermal power plants. The equipment was seriously damaged.
This is the fifth massive shelling of the company's energy facilities in the last month and a half.
In the Kyiv region, 13 private buildings were destroyed and damaged as a result of the night shelling. Debris fell in four districts of the region.
In the Lviv region, the occupiers attacked a gas storage facility in Stryi district and a thermal power plant in Chervonohrad district.
An 8-year-old child was injured in Kirovohrad region. A critical infrastructure facility was damaged in the region, and 13 houses were destroyed.
At night, on May 8, at 02:42, in Kharkiv, air defense forces shot down two Shaheds in the northern part of the city. No damage and no casualties - HOVA.
About 15 settlements of the Kharkiv region were hit by enemy artillery and mortar attacks: Sinkivka, Stepova Novoselivka, Berestove, and others. Dvorichanske and Sinkivka came under aerial bombardment.

Back to World War II.

#Mordor On this day in 1941, representatives of the Allied Wehrmacht were invited to a parade in Moscow. World War II had been going on for 1 year and 8 months.
Modern time:
On this day in 2014, Ukrainian miners spoke about the torture of the Russian occupiers in Donetsk and showed a tattoo that was almost cut off by a light bulb.
Russia never changed. Russia never learned.
Total victory and liberation of Ukraine is the only possible scenario for peace.
Hello I have Good Omens Brainrot like the rest of us, and I had a spare afternoon, so here is
Crowley and Aziraphale's Canonical Chronological History
(watching-guide with media timestamps so you can watch it all develop in order)
It's long so it's going under the cut. Let me know if there are errors beyond being out by a second or so. Also speedrunning two series of this show in an afternoon made me So Unwell (emotionally). I would absolutely recommend it.
I've broadly only included only clips that featured either one or both them as a focal point, or where the events would have informed their relationship, plus the option of the S2 finale in its entirety.

I primi 100 anni di attività del Calzificio Ciocca, esempio centrale di industria tessile italiana del XX secolo.
Un traguardo importante, i cento anni di attività, è l’occasione per raccontare un percorso aziendale profondamente intrecciato con la vicenda generale del tessile in Italia. Il secolo di vita compiuto dal Calzificio Ciocca corrisponde infatti, per tempi e risultati, a una delle centrali esperienze industriali italiane del ventesimo secolo. Non si celebra tuttavia in questo volume una nostalgica rimembranza di fasti trascorsi. Spinti dall’esempio del fondatore Luigi Ciocca e del figlio Giuseppe, artefice del consolidamento del marchio, i Ciocca della terza e quarta generazione non si trovano impreparati. Le trasformazioni del settore li hanno portati a individuare una più elastica strategia manageriale, non imperniata come nel passato sul processo produttivo, spingendoli al tempo stesso a una riconversione quasi antropologica della loro identità imprenditoriale: aperta alle sollecitazioni del mondo dell’arte contemporanea e della moda, consapevole del proprio agire in uno scenario internazionale. Ciocca 1912-2012. Una storia che continua.

Gitta Sereny Interviews a Former SS Member on Hitler's Euthanasia Program
'I made a special point of asking Theo Hupfauer and his wife what they had known about euthanasia, for in February 1941 Hupfauer was named Commandant of the Ordensburg Sonthofen, an elite college for political education, on whose curriculum "hereditary health" and racial purity must have figured prominently. "I was only the Commandant", he answered evasively. "I didn't know about euthanasia. But let me add right away_I'm not against it. As you can see, it is now being discussed more and more.....You can see that the whole world is slowly moving in that direction now...The only question is how and to what degree. Is there really such a difference", he asked, "between the early-pregnancy tests done as a matter of routine with the idea of termination if the fetus is is abnormal, not to mention the number of abortions now being performed for all sorts of reasons, and what was done here forty years ago?"
These two people had not changed. In 1940-41 they had believed in racial purity, and, I was sure, had not only known about the Euthanasia Program, but agreed with it. And now, with ever increasing arguments for some_though less extreme_ kind of legalized euthanasia, they feel that the world is catching up with Hitler's ideas.' - Albert Speer: His Battle With Truth (Sereny 1995), p. 201-02.

B-29 Superfortress 42-24625 from 498th BG, 875th Bomb Squadron Nose Art 'Lady Mary Anna'
The largest and most powerful bomber of WW II, the Boeing B-29 Super Fortress, played a major role in bringing about the defeat of Japan. In addition to accelerating Japans surrender following the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with atomic bombs, thousands of B-29 crews flew tens of thousands of bombing missions against Japan from bases in China, India, and later in the War from recaptured islands in the Pacific. B-29s entered service in 1943 following a lengthy, problem-filled, development process of three years in response to the governments request for a long range strategic bomber. Only Boeing and Douglas (the B-32 Dominator) responded to the governments requests, and the B-32 had even greater development problems than the B-29. Powered by four giant Wright R-3350-23 radial engines generating a total horsepower of 8,924, the Super Fortresses typically carried crews of ten. They were capable of a top speed of 357-MPH, and at slower cruising speeds had a range of more than 3,200 miles. The B-29 was a large aircraft for its time with a wingspan in excess of 140 feet and a length of just under 100 feet. The Super Forts also had pressurized forward and aft hulls, which made the long distance missions a bit more comfortable for the flight crews. B-29s typically carried defensive armament which included ten machine guns and a single tail-mounted canon. Because of the pressurized hull, the guns were operated by remote control. The first operational B-29 wing was the 58th which flew out of the China-Burma-India theater. On March 9, 1945 General Curtis LeMay ordered an unusual low altitude attack on Tokyo by hundreds of B-29s carrying incendiary bombs. Five such low level missions were scheduled over a ten-day period, and the combined destruction of these missions exceeded that of either of the atomic bomb missions. B-29s were also effectively used to mine Japanese ports and shipping lanes. The Kawasaki Ki-45 Toryu heavy fighter, which is depicted attacking the B-29 in Stan Stokes painting, entered production in 1941 following a lengthy four year development. About 1,700 of these aircraft, code named Nick by the allies, were produced. The Ki-45 never proved effective as a long range daylight interceptor. It was, however, used effectively in ground attack and night fighter roles. It was one of only a few Japanese aircraft that had some success against the onslaught of B-29s because it was able to attain the high altitudes necessary to intercept the high-flying Super Fortresses.
