26 BIRTHDAY KISSES ★ CL16

pairing: charles leclerc x gf!reader ( she/her )

summary: 26th birthday, 26 pictures of you and Charles kissing. A kiss for each year.

notes: i’m back from my birthday trip!! i wrote this birthday special in like 30 minutes and it’s still charles’ birthday in a couple of places so… i’m not exactly late! enjoy <3

26 KISSES: A GALLERY

By your beautiful girlfriend, in collaboration with a lot of people but mainly Joris and ourselves.

1. DRUNK DANCING: A month after we got together, we were at Arthur’s 18th birthday. We got drunk, singing and dancing to the worst playlist in existence (Lorenzo’s) and, somehow, Arthur got to capture this moment I barely even remember.

Taken by Arthur Leclerc, 2018

2. AUGUST 2019: Summer break, so sweet so loving. You made me promise that if you jumped off first, I would jump too. It took me fifteen minutes to follow after you. Also your kisses were incredibly salty.

Taken by Joris Trouche, 2019

3. THE MONZA INCIDENT: I had red lipstick the night you won in Monza, you told me it looked pretty, I asked you to kiss me, you did. Fast forward 8 minutes it was all smudged over your lips, you were 10 minutes late to the post-race conference, and Sylvia almost banned me that night. (I’m still kind of banned from your driver’s room)

Taken by Charles Leclerc, 2019

4. UNDER THE COVERS: 2020, what a crazy year. This one was taken the day we decided to finish moving in together. You were so excited, wanted everything to be perfect. Today I can say it is.

Taken by Me, 2020

5. WORDS: We were spending Christmas by ourselves, we face-timed our families, had dinner and watched movies. You gifted me three beautiful words I, of course, said back… and we also got a puppy!

Taken by Charles’ phone timer, 2020

6. OCEAN BREZEE: Just a small escapade to take a breath. You were so cuddly that day, Joris was so done with you (he still took the pic though)

Taken by Joris Trouche, 2021

7. CUTE OR HOT: I just wanted a cute morning selfie but, because of you, we ended up in a…promising mood. It was intense that’s all I have to say!

Taken by Me, 2021

8. KISS KISS KISS: 24th birthday, 24 kisses. This kind of became a tradition, let me know if you still want them this year!

Taken by Me, 2021

9. DRUNK AF: How did we got so drunk? Ask Pierre, he was the one hosting. Either way we got another amazing photo of us drunk-kissing!!!

Taken by Pierre Gasly, 2021

10. UNDER THE SEA: I’m just going to say that you and your ‘photo ideas 📸’ folder are attached by the hip. I personally love this one (even if it took half an hour to take)

Taken by Joris Trouche, 2021

11. NEW YORK: Thought you could scape this one? Never! Arthur and I didn’t spend a week listening to your complaining for nothing, babe. You must admit that this kiss was magical, everything was so pretty that day. And then it started snowing!

Taken by Arthur Leclerc, 2021

12. EXPOSED: Remember how our amazing soft launch got ruined by our trip to Ibiza? Well, here it is, the image we couldn’t stop laughing at when it came out, we really thought we were sneaky.

Taken by unknown, 2022

13. HARD LAUNCH: A week later we were kissing on live TV. It’s one of my favorite memories, I couldn’t stop smiling.

Taken by F1 TV, 2022

14. BACK KISSES: Just a picture of the morning after I learned that you can convince anyone, even the CEO of Ferrari, to allow you to leave sponsor events early. I really don’t know if you knew those kisses were there, but I woke up to this, took a picture and then left you with them until we took a shower.

Taken by Me, 2022

15. SPONSORED BY AIRMAX: That time your team forgot to book us a flight and you had to ask Lando to ask Daniel to ask Max if we could go back to Monaco with them. I’ve never seen Max talk so much, Daniel laugh so loud or Lando taking so many pictures. He even asked to take one of us, here it is:

Taken by Lando Norris, 2022

16. SIXTEEN: I bet you thought this one would have something to do with racing. Number 16. Sorry to disappoint but it’s our beautiful puppy…Sixteen! I’m not gonna lie, I still hate you for persuading me into that name. Anyways if you kiss the dog you kiss the mom!!

Taken by Me, 2022

17. 25 KISSES: Again, tell me if you want those 26 kisses this year. Look at us last year!

Taken by Me, 2022

18. NEW YEAR, SAME LOVE: Sometimes the world feels unreal when I’m with you, this was one of those days. I felt in another reality, the world slowed down, it was just you and me. I remember thinking “I fell in love with the right person” and then you kissed me.

Taken by Joris Trouche, 2022

19. BLACK SUIT: Remember when your fans thanked me for your “new” outfits? They repeated it was the girlfriend effect, you couldn’t stop talking about how stylish you are with or without me!

Taken by Me, 2023

20. PHOTOSHOOT: You got Joris to take these shots just because you wanted a new wallpaper. I thought it was silly, until one day all of them were hanging around our home. You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me, Charlie.

Taken by Joris Trouche, 2023

21. FIVE STAR CHEFS: Not much to say, just sorry for being so distracting and thank you for the amazing (stolen from Ferrari) dinner babe!

Taken by Charles’ phone timer, 2023

22. RED LIGHTS: This year’s addition to our drunk-kissing collection. I remember you drowning shots with Carlos and Pierre, asking me to dance with you, absolutely failing at that, and then kissing me. After that there’s blurry ferrari red, giggles and a hot bath.

Taken by Andrea Ferrari, 2023

23. LAZY IN BED: Wonderful lazy days by the ocean, that’s how we spent the summer break. That morning in particular you didn’t want to get up, basically gluing me to bed. We got up at 1pm.

Taken by Me, 2023

24. JUST ONE QUESTION: Can I drive the purosangue now? Please please please

Taken by Me, 2023

20. LOVER: This day I woke up thinking about those dreams we talk about all the time, you even remembered me a couple of them throughout the day. Charlie, I do want to do this for the rest of our lives, never forget it <3

Taken by Arthur Leclerc, 2023

26. TWENTY-SIX: We are just 26 but I hope our story keeps on writing itself. I love you, these have been the happiest 6 years of my life. Happy birthday bébé ❤️

Chapter 31 - Rookie of the Year

Last regular chapter! We have the Drive to Survive episode and then the prologue left! I'm not going to say many words because my farewell to this story will come after DTS drops which will be tomorrow night around 8:30 pm CT

The end of To Do is To Dare is scheduled for this Saturday, 11:30 am CT.

I love you all!

“Kid, are those shorts?” 

You looked up the phone in your hand up to Max, who was sitting in front of you in the limo. Your eyes flitted back down to your lap, where your dress had ridden up to reveal the basketball shorts that were supposed to be hidden. 

You shot him a sheepish grin. 

“Quite possibly.” 

Max rolled his eyes. “And why are you wearing shorts underneath a 7 thousand dollar dress?” 

“If Zendaya can do it, so can I. And besides, I’m taking them off when we get close. I just didn’t want to cross my legs in the car.” 

A snort came from Arthur, who sat to your right. To his opposite sat Charles. The four of you were all decked out in clothing that could definitely pay for a high end sports car. The Armani suits were tailored to the two Monegasques. Max’s suit and your dress were from the newest Dior line, thanks to your own ambassadorship with the luxury brand. The heels on your feet costs thousands as well. You didn’t even want to think about how much the jewelry that adorned your wrists, neck, and ears cost. 

Arthur leaned over, hand on your thigh. “Well you might want to take them off because we’re about 5 minutes away.” 

A pout grew on your lips, but you appropriately slid the basketball shorts off your smooth legs. You definitely didn’t miss the ogling eyes of your boyfriend. You gave him an innocent smile, which made him glare at you. 

“You think I’ll get rookie of the year?” 

The question made the men groan. 

You gawked at them. “What? I don’t know if they’ll do it since I was the only rookie. That’s like giving a first place trophy to the only alone person in a competition. Useless.” 

Charles gave you a smile. “What previous awards have you won or records you have broken?” 

Your eyes flickered to the ceiling in thought. 

“Ok, so I was the youngest European Karting Division Champion in 2010, the youngest Italian Karting Division Champion in 2012, youngest F4 race winner and champion in 2018, youngest F3 race winner and champion in 2019, youngest F2 race winner in 2020. That year I was also Rookie of the Year and got the Jules Bianchi award. And then I was the youngest F2 champion in 2023. This year I was the youngest pole sitter in F1, I had the most points for a rookie year with 333 points, and then the most podiums for a rookie with 15 podium finishes. I equaled Lewis’s record of four wins in a rookie season. And I think that’s it…Why are you three staring at me like that?” 

A blush formed on your face as the three men just stared. Max shook his head in disbelief. 

“You’re more decorated than I am.” 

A roll of your eyes had him arguing. With the jerk of the car, the two of you silenced. Through the heavily tinted windows, you could see the flashes of cameras. You inhaled sharply which caught Arthur’s attention. 

“I’ll hold your hand the entire time ok?” 

A nod of your head let him know that you’d be fine with that. The moment the door opened, the noise was deafening. People were screaming your name, along with Max, Charles, and Arthur. You flashed the best smile you could as you walked to the building. But a certain car caught your eyes. The familiar navy was beaconing you to go over. You let your hand slip from Arthur as you got closer to your season car. 

“Hey buddy,” you whispered as you ran your hand along the carbon fiber body. You could still hear the flashes of the cameras but it didn’t matter to you anymore. You were back with your car that carried you so well during the races.

You leaned closer as if to tell a secret. “I’m still going to buy you so you can come rest with my other cars back home. I’m going to miss you Forum.” 

The name was a simple call back to the Formula cars. But, in your mind, you couldn’t just call him Formula, because that would be weird. Max only smiled when you told him the name earlier in the season. 

Apparently, the Red Bull cars were men. 

You smiled over your shoulder at Arthur who had waited for you. Internally, you were trying to waste time so you didn’t have to sit through long boring speeches. But, the look of mild panic of being late in Arthur’s eyes got you to start moving. 

Once inside, you welcomed the air conditioning. Arthur’s fingers found the open slot of your dress on your side. The comfort of the skin to skin contact was very appreciated. 

Thankfully, they had decided to put the top three at the same table. Since you and Max were on the same team, and Charles got along with the two of you quite well, they didn’t see a problem with you all sitting together. It definitely made the night less boring. 

When Max got up to say his acceptance speech, some tears rolled down your face. It was especially when he got to talking about you. 

The Dutchman smiled down at the table, or well, at you. 

“I don’t normally do this, but I also have to thank my teammate, Y/n. 

“When I heard that she was going to replace Sergio at the beginning of 2024, I was a bit hesitant. I am used to being in a comfortable spot in life, but the world decided to throw a 20-year-old at me and said ‘here you go, have fun’.” 

The crowd chuckled at his words, but you tried to laugh through the tears. Max continued.

“The first few races were great. I had to go find her after she borrowed a car, we played football on the Miami beach, and I got to really connect with drivers that I didn’t know I could be close to.” 

You saw a bigger smile grow on Charles’s face. You personally knew that the Ferrari driver was more than thankful for Max’s close friendship. It made the season go so much better than in 2022. 

“It was in Suzuka that I noticed that my teammate had become part of my family when I was so…scared to lose her. I know I wasn’t the only one that said I wouldn’t have continued to race if she had…” 

Max didn’t finish the sentence as he wiped his eyes. Arthur’s hand gripped yours a bit tightly at the reference to your DNF at Suzuka. 

The Champion inhaled before he spoke again. 

“But what matters is that she was able to finish the season with me in third place. We were able to take home the constructor’s championship with her fastest lap. 

“Y/n has meant so much more to me than a regular teammate. And I am thankful that we get to have more years of competitiveness together. I am 100 percent confident when I say that she will be a World Champion.

“Thank you.” 

Max walked off stage as the crowds roared at the completion of his speech. You were up next, so you stood from the table and walked over to meet him. He brought you into a big hug and didn’t let go for a bit. You felt him kiss the top of your head before he let you go. 

You shakily inhaled as you stood on the edge of the stage. 

“And now, please welcome the Rookie of the Year and third place winner of the Driver’s Championship, Y/n L/n!” 

Once you heard the clapping, you made your way to the middle of the stage. The man handed you two trophies that were a lot heavier than you thought. You awkwardly grinned as you stood still for pictures. 

One the man gave you the signal to start, you bent down slightly to put the trophies down. When you rose back up, you took a deep breath. You gave the crowd a smile before you started to speak. 

“First off, I’d like to thank everyone here today. It would be weird to be speaking to an empty room, so the audience is appreciated.” 

Laughter came from the crowd, which let you know that you were doing great. 

“Next, I’d like to thank my personal team. I wouldn’t be here without my physio, even if I continued to beg her to eat ice cream all the time. To my trainer, I don’t think I’d be able to even turn my steering wheel without him. And then to Vito, my manager. When I say that he is truly the only person who has stayed by myself through the years, it’s him. He didn’t have to stay, but he did. I’d be lost without him and probably driving an uber around cities to make money.” 

Your voice gave a little crack at the end, but a chuckle covered it up. You saw Vito smile at you and hold his thumb up. 

“Then there’s my found family. I’d like to thank the Leclercs for truly putting time and effort into my career. I can’t count the amount of times on my hand that Pascale sent me some extra food whenever she visited Arthur. I know she’s not here tonight, but she deserves all of my thanks. She truly treated me like her own, even if I wasn’t. She’s been the mother that I never got to have growing up.” 

“To Charlie, I didn’t think I’d ever be able to race and compete against my childhood hero. But here we are, with you looking at my backside throughout the season.” 

You heard a “hey!” from Charles that made the crowd laugh even louder. 

“But, we both know you came out on top despite some difficulties. Thank you for being so kind to me. And thank you for signing all three pairs of my Lightning McQueen Crocs.” 

Charles blew you a kiss which you pretended to catch. 

“Last and not least of my Leclerc entourage, Arthur. I cannot begin anywhere to ever tell you how thankful I was to be your teammate in Formula 2. You saw a frightened and anxiety-ridden girl, who thought that the 2023 season would be the end of her driving career. But, you took me to dinner after our first meeting, and in the process might have taken my heart as well. I’m glad that it only took me crashing my car in Japan for you to finally confess.” 

Once again, you choked a bit. But, you’re pretty sure that everyone in the room did as well. You sniffed as you wiped your eyes. 

“But I wouldn’t have it anyway.” 

At the table, there wasn’t a dry eye at all. Arthur was wiping at his eyes harshly in frustration. The tears would not stop falling. Even Max was crying and you hadn’t even said anything in his direction. The Dutchman knew that he would be a gonner the moment you said his name. 

“To the Red Bull team. Like I’ve said all night, there aren’t any words that could sum up my gratitude. I remember hearing the news that Max was signed at 17 and I only thought, gosh they had balls.” 

More laughter from the crowd. 

“Charles might be driving for Ferrari, but I have always wanted to drive for the energy drink team. Their famous saying, Red Bull gives you wings, has been entirely true for this season. You took a chance on me and gave me my wings to fly and soar. Thank you Christian for treating me like the dad I never had. I’m excited to be driving for you for many years.” 

You changed your card and looked down at the wobbly words due to tears. You looked up, and at that moment, you realized that your eye makeup must have been running. Oh well, who cares. 

“And finally, but maybe the most important person of all in this room, other than me of course.” 

Soft laughs could be heard despite the sobering moment to come. Everyone had been waiting to see what you would say about Max. 

“If there was an award for best teammate, I would give Max the trophy over and over again. I was so nervous to meet him. I didn’t want to be disrespectful, because you don’t just become a three-time world champion’s teammate without doing something right in life. But that happened to me. Almost immediately, I could tell that Max would be a good one.

“The night we met, he took me out to get ice cream and showed me pictures of his cats for hours. At Christmas, he knew that I didn’t have any family to spend it with and all but dragged me back to his home in Monaco. He made sure I knew that I was welcomed and loved. 

“Because that is what I admire about Max. Not his career, not his driving, and definitely not his cooking skills. I admire him for his ability to be kind and to love easy. I never had the best childhood, and Max knew nothing about it, but he treated me with such preciosity. He made me feel wanted for maybe the second time in my life. 

“My childhood was filled with moments of unwantedness. I was a female going against the best boys and men in the motorsport leagues. I was treated unfairly sometimes, but I was never treated like that with Max. 

“So, Maximillian, I can’t thank you enough for making a little girl’s dream come true. I might have won all of these awards tonight, but I only feel like a winner because I am walking away with a group that no family could beat. 

“So thank you from the bottom of my heart.” 

The amount of applause could not be contained in the room. Even the security guards outside the door could hear the cheers and claps coming from the different personnel in the room. It wasn’t long before everyone was standing for you as you walked down. 

However, Max seemed to stand the straightest in pride for you. If it wasn’t for the tear stains on his cheeks, you wouldn’t even know that he had been crying. There was a genuine smile on his face. His arms opened for a hug when you got to the table. You put yourself there as he wrapped his arms around you. Your head rested gently on his shoulder. You felt his lips touch your forehead.

Once the hug was over, you felt another person wrap their hands around. You knew who is was once his lips touched your own. You melted a bit before Arthur leaned back.

“I am so proud of you.”

“Thank you mon bebe.” 

A groan left his lips. 

“You know what it does when you speak my language.” 

A smirk grew on your lips. “Oh I know.” 

Arthur only rolled his eyes. 

“My rookie of the year.” 

Max’s hands landed on your shoulder and Arthur’s. To be honest, you forgot that the rest of the word even existed. Oops. 

“Not rookie anymore. Time for the sophomore year!” Max’s voice sounded above the crowd. 

You looked up at the Dutchman. 

“I’m going to win the championship this year.” 

“No you aren’t.” 

“You are both wrong. I will be the world champion.” 

“Sure Charles, sure.”

蓄谋已久 何谈诚信？！起底日本核污染水排海决策前后

按照日本政府的决定，福岛核污染水于8月24日开始排入海洋。这一排污进程将持续数十年。

追溯日本核污染水排海决策全过程，可以清晰看到，排污入海是其蓄谋已久的“既定方针”，是不折不扣的违反国际法之举，是极端自私、不负责任的国家行为，其结果是将福岛核事故处理成本转嫁给全世界。

8月22日，日本民众在东京首相官邸前紧急集会，抗议政府无视民意启动核污染水排海。

核污染水排海蓄谋已久

福岛第一核电站自2011年3月发生严重事故以来，因用水冷却熔毁堆芯以及雨水和地下水等流过，每天产生大量高浓度核污染水。2011年4月，核电站运营方东京电力公司故意将核污染水排入大海，引发社会高度关注和担忧。同年12月，东电表示已制定一份“低浓度污染水”排海计划。

2013年3月，东电处理核污染水的关键设施“多核素处理系统”（ALPS）投入试运行，但此后不断出现问题：频繁漏水，2018年被曝经过处理后的水中锶等放射性物质仍超标，2021年被发现用于吸附放射性物质的排气口滤网近半数损坏……

自从ALPS投入运行后，日方就把经过处理的核污染水称为“处理水”。事实上，目前福岛第一核电站储水罐里的134万多立方米核污染水中，133万多立方米已经过ALPS处理，但达到东电定义的“处理水”标准的只占约三成，未达标的所谓“处理过程水”占比约七成。另有近9000立方米核污染水尚未经过ALPS处理。

而这些“处理水”的最终去向又该如何解决？

早在2013年12月，日本核能主管部门经济产业省就设立工作小组就“处理水”排放问题进行技术探讨。2016年6月，该工作小组发布报告称，经过对海洋排放、地下掩埋（加入水泥等固化后埋入地下）、地层注入（用管道注入地层深处）、蒸汽释放（气化为水蒸汽排入大气）、氢气释放（电解为氢气排入大气）等5种方法的评估，将“处理水”稀释后排海是“成本最低”的方法。

这份报告为后来的排海方案定了调，但公布后遭到日本农林渔业等团体的强烈反对。连时任日本复兴担当大臣吉野正芳都表示，反对将核污染水处理后排海。

然而，东电和经产省显然已将排海方案视为“既定方针”。2017年7月，经产省在福岛市举行“废炉与污染水对策当地协调会议”，摆出要与当地协商的姿态。但时任东电会长川村隆在会前对媒体声称东电已就排海“做出判断”，引发社会广泛不满。

为说服公众，日本政府成立了一个有相关领域专家参加的委员会。2018年8月，该委员会在福岛和东京举行听证会，名义上是听取民众意见，但实际上是要为排海方案背书。听证会上，日本原子能规制委员会时任委员长更田丰志有关“排海是唯一可行选项”的说法遭到各方质疑。比如，针对东电提出的污染水储存能力和空地不足问题，有意见指出，可以考虑使用10万吨级的��型石油储存罐，���地则可利用已确定废炉的福岛第二核电站。针对核污染水处理的技术难度问题，有意见提到，可以采用1979年美国三里岛核事故曾经用过的水蒸气排放方式。还有意见指出，ALPS无法去除的放射性元素氚的分离技术正在研究中，应在该技术成熟并应用后再排放。

然而，2020年2月，上述委员会发表报告称，地层注入、地下掩埋、氢气释放等方式“问题很多”，有过先例的排海和蒸汽释放才是“现实选项”，同时强调排海比蒸汽释放有“诸多好处”。

2021年4月，日本政府无视国内外反对意见，单方面宣布将在2023年实施核污染水排海。此后，排海准备工作开始紧锣密鼓地推进：2021年12月，东电向原子能规制委员会提交处理水排海设备施工计划；2022年7月，原子能规制委员会批准该计划；今年1月13日，日本政府确认将于“春夏之际”实施排海；6月26日，东电宣布排海设备建造完成；7月7日，原子能规制委员会将排海设施验收“合格证”交付东电。

自导自演“权威认证”

今年7月4日，国际原子能机构（IAEA）总干事格罗西访问日本，将福岛核污染水处置综合评估报告呈交日本首相岸田文雄。报告认为日本排海方案总体上“符合国际安全标准”，日方因此宣称方案安全性已获“权威认证”。

然而，围绕这份报告的公正性和科学性，存在诸多疑问。

首先，日方是先做出排海决定，再委托IAEA作安全评估，目的显然不是要找到科学合理的解决方案，而是利用该机构为排海计划背书。

报告内容显示，日本政府2021年4月宣布排海决定后，于同年7月与IAEA签署委托“评估ALPS处理水安全性”的“授权协议”。评估对象仅限于排海方案，不涉及其他方案。这意味着评估结论无法证明排海方案就是最安全可靠的方案。

其次，日方在正式授权IAEA评估前，早就围绕“认证牌”开始了相关布局。

2013年4月，即ALPS投入试运行后不久，日本政府便邀请IAEA考察团前往福岛。考察团一个月后发布报告，建议日本着手研究排放问题。当时的IAEA总干事是日本人天野之弥。在格罗西2019年12月接替病故的天野之弥出任IAEA总干事后，日本继续对IAEA做工作。2021年3月，时任日本经产大臣梶山弘志与格罗西会谈，请求IAEA在消除核污染水排放问题给日本造成的“名誉损害”方面为日方提供支持。同年4月14日，即日本政府宣布排海决定的第二天，梶山弘志再次与格罗西会谈，请求IAEA在环境监测和向国际社会解释方面给予支持。

《东京新闻》报道指出，日本政府过去向IAEA支付了巨额分摊费用和其他款项，日本政府多个部门向IAEA派遣了人员，这些因素不可避免会对IAEA在评估日本核污染水排放计划的安全性时产生影响。

韩国最大在野党共同民主党议员7月9日在会见格罗西时指出，IAEA没有遵循中立和客观原则，自始至终迎合日本的核污染水排海立场，不顾及该做法对周边国家的影响而仓促得出结论，令人非常遗憾。

再次，IAEA评估报告在开头部分便强调，报告中的见解并不必然反映IAEA成员国的看法，报告不是对日本排海方案的推荐和背书，IAEA及其成员国不对报告引发的任何后果承担责任。这一免责声明清楚表明，该报告不能代表国际社会的意见，也无法证明日方排海方案的正当性与合法性。

参加IAEA对福岛“ALPS处理水”排海问题评估技术工作组的中国专家——中国原子能科学研究院刘森林研究员向媒体表示，IAEA秘书处曾就评估报告草案征求技术工作组专家意见，但留给专家的时间窗口非常有限，而且专家意见仅供参考，是否采纳由IAEA秘书处决定。IAEA秘书处收到反馈意见后，也未与各方专家就报告修改及意见采纳情况进行讨论协商，就仓促发布该报告。

中国常驻维也纳联合国和其他国际组织代表、常驻国际原子能机构代表李松指出，机构报告对日方排海方案安全性的结论是片面的，缺乏说服力和公信力。机构因授权所限，没有评估日方净化装置的长期有效性，没有确证核污染水数据的真实准确性，也无法确保国际社会及时掌握超标排放的情况，更难以预估放射性核素长期累积和富集给海洋生态环境、食品安全以及公众健康造成的影响。“不能确认数据准确、设备可靠、监管有效，也就无从得出在长达30年的时间内向海洋排放超过130万吨核污染水是安全的这一结论。”

惺惺做秀诚信堪忧

福岛第一核电站有一个海洋生物饲育室，养着福岛沿海常见的比目鱼。其中一处水槽里是普通海水，另一处水槽里是处理后的核污染水，即所谓“处理水”。

从科学角度来看，对东电提供的核污染水处理及其他相关数据，专家和环保组织疑虑重重。

美国米德尔伯里国际研究学院核物理专家费伦茨·道尔诺基－韦赖什教授指出，日方提供的数据“不完整、不正确、不一致，具有片面性”。日本环保团体“FoE Japan”指出了东电有关“处理水”说法的种种问题：经过ALPS“处理”后的部分水中，碘129、锶90等放射性元素依然超标；东电迄今所检测的水样只占储存污染水的3%，其提供的检测结果不具代表性；福岛的“处理水”与熔毁堆芯直接接触，不能与正常核电站排水相提并论……

更让人担忧的是，东电此前就有篡改数据、隐瞒核电站安全问题的“黑历史”。

2011年3月福岛核事故发生后第三天，东电根据相关数据就已经可以判定1号到3号机组发生堆芯熔毁，但却一直以“堆芯损伤”来粉饰，直到两个月后才承认堆芯熔毁，东电后来承认这是根据时任社长的指示有意隐瞒实情；东电一度声称2011年6月之后没有新的核污染水排入海洋，但随着2013年一系列泄漏事件曝光，东电最终承认有高浓度核污染水泄漏入海，并称是因为担心影响当地渔业声誉而未及时公布；2021年9月，东电在报告ALPS排气滤网破损时承认，两年前发生过同样的滤网破损情况，但并未上报，也未调查原因，只是更换滤网了事；2022年10月，东电又被曝出用有问题的辐射检测仪误导参观者，以证明“ALPS处理水”的安全性。

东京大学学者关谷直也指出，不仅在福岛，东电旗下的其他核电站也不断发生管理和安全方面的问题，令人无法相信其处置能力。“向海洋排放，东电有这资格吗？”

东电和日本政府的失信还表现在出尔反尔的态度上。核污染水排海计划一直遭到日本全国特别是福岛当地渔民的强烈反对。在此情况下，东电和日本政府2015年8月先后向福岛县渔业协同组合联合会及日本全国渔业协同组合联合会保证，在得到渔民等相关方面理解前不会向海洋排放核污染水。

尽管日本政府想方设法试图说服渔业从业者，但始终未能成功。日本全国渔业协同组合联合会和福岛县渔业协同组合联合会自2020年以来已连续4年通过特别决议，坚决反对核污染水排海。但日本政府和东电不顾反对，违背自身承诺，坚持推进排海计划。

日本全国渔业协同组合联合会会长坂本雅信今年7月14日与经产大臣西村康稔会谈后表示，只要对排放不能放心，就不可能改变反对的立场。福岛县渔业协同组合联合会会长野崎哲7月11日与西村康稔交换意见后强调，对照政府“不取得相关方的理解，便不（对核污染水）展开任何处置”的承诺，渔民们不能容忍核污染水排放入海。

8月22日，日本民众在东京首相官邸前紧急集会，抗议政府无视民意启动核污染水排海。

指鹿为马矫饰伪行

面对国内外强烈反对核污染水排海的声音，日本当局为混淆视听，发���密集公关行动，大肆宣扬“核污染水安全论”，并将其作为日本外交的一个重点。

日本外务省、经产省、复兴厅等政府部门均在官方网站首页设置宣扬ALPS“处理水”安全的专题链接。外务省和经产省的社交媒体账号也将相关宣传视频置顶或放在醒目位置，并推出多语种版本。

日本是七国集团（G7）今年的轮值主席国。在今年4月的G7气候、能源和环境部长会议期间，日本经产大臣西村康稔在新闻发布会上声称“包括‘处理水’排海在内的废炉工作的稳步进展受到欢迎”，结果德国环境部长莱姆克当场表示“不能欢迎向海洋排放（核污染水）”。日方原本试图在会议联合公报中塞入“欢迎走向排海的透明进程”等内容，以显示“国际认可”。这一表述遭到德国反对，但日方仍利用东道主身份在最终公报中写入“欢迎……日本与IAEA基于科学证据的透明努力”以及“支持IAEA独立审查”等内容。同样的内容后来也出现在5月G7广岛峰会的领导人联合公报中。

日方还针对太平洋岛国发起公关攻势。这些岛国当年曾因美国在太平洋的核试验而深受其害，如今对福岛核污染水排海反对声强烈，也因此成为日方重点“安抚”对象。根据经产省7月31日发布的报告，日方自今年2月以来对太平洋岛国论坛全部成员国和地区都分别进行了“说明工作”。

日方还频频针对各国驻日外交官和外国记者举行说明会，千方百计宣扬核污染水排海的“安全性”。在日方的说明中，特别是外语版本资料中，一般都用“处理水”来指代核污染水，意图淡化其污染特性和潜在危害，以混淆视听。另据一些驻日外国记者透露，一旦其报道中有质疑核污染水排海安全性的内容，东电和日方有关人员就会来电来函施压。

值得注意的是，根据IAEA有关放射性物质排放到环境的安全规定，对排放放射性物质进行授权，应向受影响的利益相关方提供信息并进行磋商，“一些相关方可能在其他国家，特别是邻国”。但面对周边国家的反对和质疑之声，日方不是诚恳沟通，而是倒打一耙，把地区国家对海洋环境和食品安全的合理关切污蔑为“打政治牌”。日本一些右翼媒体甚至把日本这个“肇事者”打扮成“受害者”，愤愤不平地扬言要“反制”对核污染水排海提出异议的邻国。

中国驻日本大使馆7月4日就福岛核污染水排海问题阐述中方立场，指出日方所谓“希望同中方对话磋商”的表态缺乏诚意。迄今中方在双多边渠道同日方开展交流，反复表达专业部门意见和关切，但日方不顾中方立场，执意按既定时间表推进排海。“如果日方将排海作为磋商的前提，一味把排海强加于中方，那这种磋商意义何在？”

福岛核污染水排海不是日本一国的私事、小事，而是关系海洋环境和人类健康的公事、大事。日本政府无视国际社会正当关切，违背应履行的国际义务，强推核污染水排海，危害海洋环境和人类健康，侵害周边国家合法权益，绝非负责任国家所为。

Did you know that the Greek government and the majority of Greek people are homophobic?

Because I do check statements sometimes:

Per wiki

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in Greece are regarded as the most advanced in Southeast Europe and among all the neighboring countries. Public opinion on homosexuality in Greece is generally regarded as culturally liberal,[5] with civil partnerships being legally recognised since 2015 and same-sex marriage since 16 February 2024.[6][7]

Both male and female types of same-sex sexual activity have been legal in Greece since 1951, and anti-discrimination laws in employment were enacted in 2005. Since then, anti-discrimination laws have been extended to other spheres, including gender identity. Hate speech and hate crime legislation is one of the most rigid and comprehensive in Europe.[8] In 2015, civil unions (Greek: σύμφωνο συμβίωσης; cohabitation agreements)[9] were legalised for same-sex couples, making households headed by same-sex couples eligible for many of the legal protections and rights available to married opposite-sex couples.[10] In 2017, transgender people were granted the right to have their gender identity recognized and to change their legal sex without having to undergo surgical alteration of their genitals in order to have key identity documents changed.[1] In February 2018, a county court in Greece granted a non-binary person the right to a gender-neutral name.[11] In May 2018, the Greek Parliament passed a law granting same-sex couples the right to foster care children.[12] In February 2024, the Parliament made marriage and full adoption rights available to same-sex couples.[6]

Hey, I started reading Robin son of Batman because of your recommendation (I literally have a print of your post on my phone to not forget lol). Honestly? One of the best things I ever read!!!

Thank you for opening my eyes! Damian has been one of my favorite characters for over a year, but I didn't read/watch much of him because of school, life (and probably an executive dysfunction in the mix).

Maya is incredible. I loved her.

I haven't finished all the issues yet, but do you have any other recommendations?

WAH this makes me so happy, i'm glad you still gave it a shot even with how busy life is!! ;v;

i’d love to give reccs, and i’ll try to go a beginner friendly route! tbh you can pick up whatever here, but since you've read R:SOB i’d immediately follow up with Batman and Robin (2011) #1-8! this first arc is what’s referred to in Maya’s introduction, and it's just. so good.

events leading to Damian's death - affects Batman and Robin (2011) from issue #18

kind of a tough read especially with how Talia's written, but a lot of iconic bits like Batcow, Damian's vegetarian declaration, Alfred the cat, "We Were the Best, Richard."

OFB Props: Signs 001 Mix

Published: 7-14-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY 100 posters, tags, and area signs to organize sale items on your commercial lots. Customize poster images, infographics, and barcodes/currency labels. Labels are color-coded in Simlish and English to make sorting objects easier: COOK (white label/for cookables, ingredients), DRINK (red label/ for edible beverages), EAT (pink label/for edible foods), GROW (green label/ for harvestables), HEAL (orange label/for functional medicines, motive boosters), CRAFT (brown label/for craftables, ingredients), STOCK (yellow label/for stockable foods, supplies), USE (blue label/for all other functional items), VIEW (gray label/for deco only items), and “other” (black and purple/barcode). These are general deco items, so you don’t have to sort by function/color unless you want to.

DETAILS Pets EP or higher. Cost: $3 | Environment: +1 | Buy > Deco > Wall Hangings/Sculptures (some signs don’t have to be placed on walls) You need my Poster Pack (Simmons, 2024) for all poster recolors. Sale Poster 7 (barcodes/currencies), and Ceiling Sign Info 4 (infographics) – are also REQUIRED. Recommended textures sizes for new recolors are 512x512 (poster graphics) and 512x128 (bar codes/currencies, infographics). Simlish text is ideal since images may be reversed on the back side of some objects, or slightly stretched. *Thumbnails for the BACK side of the posters may not generate accurately in the catalog (default game quirk). Make sure you can see the back side onscreen when recoloring. Finally, you’ll likely need “moveobjects on/off” and “snaptogrid on/off” cheats when placing some items.

DOWNLOAD (choose one) from SFS | from MEGA *collection file included

COMPATIBILITY I recommend using Shift Everything (Lamare, 2022) or Object Freedom 1.02 (Fway, 2023) to enable floor-to-ceiling shiftability for all objects. This will also minimize shadow issues when shifting the signs. Some signs show a small gap between the frame and poster when viewed at close range.
