Standing on the Edge (Bricktober day 13, prompt 'Bridge')
(@lesmis-prompts)
A river that has seen many people 
That young cynic with a bottle in hand and blood on his wrists
That tired man who feels he doesn’t deserve the candlesticks in his hand
That girl so hopeless in love, the world has treated her cruelly
That inspector whose worldview has been changed by a thief too good for earth
The cynic finds his Apollo
The man finds his town and his daughter
The girl has her brother
Who does the inspector have?
Some people never get happy endings, no matter how many people they have to love
The cynic dies at a barricade, hand in hand with his Apollo
The man dies in a church and greets the woman whose daughter he raised
The girl dies taking a bullet for the man she loves
The inspector comes to the bridge, late one night
His soul and mind torn by the realisations he has had
Maybe the law isn’t always right
But how can that be
How can this man save his life and give him freedom- this criminal
Does it cleanse his past doings
Does it wipe off his slate
In another world he might be found
Might be pulled out
Might come to terms
Might find love
In a world where the man doesn’t die in a church, but with the inspector at their home
This is not that world
The Seine mourns as she accepts another body to her currents
Oh how she wishes for that world

My whole entire July has been devoted to watching and waiting to see if they're going to force those athletes to swim in the doodoo filled seine and now the moment is pretty much here and I am riveted in a way that I have never been before

Dialogue with Gemini (16) The Seine and The Ganges
Tumblr media
Bathing in the Ganges
My Question:
The Seine was the venue for the triathlon at the Paris Olympics, and after the event, some people vomited or fell ill and were hospitalized. Someone also asked an Indian woman if she would swim in the Ganges, but she said, "I won't swim in such a dirty river." The Ganges is a river where animal carcasses and excrement flow. Which river is more polluted, the Seine or the Ganges?
パリ��リンピックでトライアスロンの会場となったセーヌ川、競技後、嘔吐したり、体調を崩したりして入院する人が出現した。またインド人の女性に、ガンジス川に入るか、と質問した人がいたが彼女は「あんな汚い川には入らない」と言っていた。動物の死体とか排泄物とかが流れるガンジス川。セーヌ川とガンジス川、どっちがより汚染されていると言えるか?
Huggingface’s Answer
Whether the Ganges or the Seine is more polluted requires considering various factors, but it is generally believed that the Ganges is more polluted.
The Ganges is a large river that originates in the Himalayas in India and flows through northern India, with a total length of 2,500 kilometers. The Ganges is a very important river in Indian religion and culture, and many Indians visit the river for bathing and worship. However, the Ganges has suffered from severe pollution for many years. The main causes of river pollution are untreated wastewater from factories and households, industrial waste, and ashes and animal carcasses that are thrown into the river during religious ceremonies. These pollutants may contain E. coli and other pathogens, which pose a serious risk to human and animal health.
On the other hand, the Seine is a 776-kilometer-long river that flows through northern France and is well known for flowing through the city of Paris. The Seine has also been polluted due to urbanization and industrialization, but not as severely as the Ganges. Sources of pollution in the Seine include wastewater from cities, agricultural water, and industrial water. However, the Parisian authorities are actively working to improve the water quality of the Seine, and the water quality is gradually improving.
According to a 2018 report published by the Yale University Environmental Law and Policy Center, an international water quality assessment organization, the Ganges is ranked 10th among the most polluted rivers in the world, indicating the severity of water pollution. On the other hand, the Seine is not in the top 10 in the report.
From the above, it can be said that although both the Ganges and the Seine are polluted, the Ganges faces more serious pollution.
Impression:
It was as expected, but just out of curiosity, I would like to see just how dirty the Ganges is.

Rumoured to be the origin of gargoyles, the powerful gargouille. When not out causing devastation, the dragon had made its home in the swamps off the left bank of the Seine.

Olympics Opening Ceremony
My fave parts:
- Lebron James and Coco Gauff held the flag
- Snoop Dogg ran part of the eternal flame
- Celine Dion singing up in the Eiffel Tower
- All the flags coming up under the Eiffel Tower together
- When France’s boat came down the seine
- The fact that they made the show around the world parade which broke it up and made it less boring
- The fact that it’s all on the Seine except they literally still haven’t cleared the water officially and have no back up for the water sports lmfao
- the Notre Dame bells ringing for the first time in five years
- the light show from the Eiffel Tower
- beheaded Marie Antoinette introducing metal music was not on my BINGO card for this year
