#Warehouse Fire

[reality-detective]

New Jersey, Happening Now: Over 100 firefighters battle massive Elizabeth warehouse fire; 2 roofs collapse.

Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage says the fire spread to three warehouses and caused two roofs to collapse. He says the warehouses are apart of the Singer factory that was built in the 1800s.

Bollwage says there are over 100 firefighters on scene, and fire crews are looking to stop the fire to prevent it from spreading to other buildings. He says School 52 is closed for the day and School 13 has a delayed opening. 🤔

"FIREBUG, BURGLARIES ALARMING ST. THOMAS," Toronto Star. October 17, 1933. Page 1. --- Police Seek Solution of Three Mysterious Outbreaks- Damage $50,000 ---- St. Thomas, Oct. 17 - Police to-day are investigating three fires and three burglaries, all of which occurred during the night and at places in close proximity to London and Port Stanley radial railway. One fire destroyed the warehouse of the Elgin Handle Works, doing about $50,000 damage to finished goods. Later it was discovered by a watchman at the unused Edison plant that two attempts had been made to fire the building, one being put out by the sprinkler system, while the second at the foot of the stairway burned itself out.

While the handle factory was burning a large pile of refuse close to the St. Thomas Stamping and Enamelware plant was found ablaze.

To-day it was reported that the home of George R. Stevenson, near the burned handle warehouse, had been entered, and Cassidy's service station, Marlatt and Marlatt coal offices entered and robbed. A fourth burglary was reported at Anderson's service station in the uptown district. Nothing of great value was taken.

Speaking as someone who really dislikes people dying: Guys we GOTTA stop preserving the supervillains. Bronzing, turning to stone, putting into enchanted sleep—why are we making the villains functionally immortal??? I get we need to defeat the evil yet remember the value of mercy and not be consumed by murder-vengeance, but have we considered imprisoning them in a way that still lets them die of old age??? This isn’t a solution, it’s postponing the problem! And you know the instructions always get lost! Future generations should not have to deal with this crap!!!

Ngl your post summarises so well why i love sukugo and why im so insane about them

Like of fucking course those two would work together when Sukuna deeply does not care about any social rules to ever exist. Of course they do when Gojo is confronted with someone gay for him and not hiding behind anything. This is not survivable and i love them and care them. I even had written in the notes for my fic about Gojo being the person who generally prefers to keep things as they are but i couldnt actually formulate why i think that. You are so smart your analysis is so wonderful

This is also why I like Sukugo a lot. It's not just that Sukuna matches Gojo's freak, he enables it. Encourages it even. Makes it worse. Sukuna's existence is a twisted opposition to Jujutsu Society. It's very hedonistic, sadistic, and selfish but by golly it is rebellion.

The flattery is also appreciated, but please understand that I am very stupid and am capable of making mistakes. Alternate perspectives like yours are just as valuable. Which is why I'm shoehorning your tags on this post into this ask. (They are great tags and everyone should see them. Also I don't know how to respond to them otherwise.)

#yeah youre right # sorry i got time to think about it #and im kind of writing gojo rhe same but a vit more influenced by sukuna lmao #tbh as the person coming from a post soviet country #i honestly cant like #fully agree with everything due to just #like i understand that what people want from socialism isnt what was in soviet union #but its still very much hard to accept that anyone could want what we went through lol #when i tell you that socialism actually pitted everyone against each other isnt not a joke #but i understand what you lead into and yeah yeah true

#tbf to gojo he really tried even if his method ultimately failed #like he had genuinely tried to do better for the kids that came after him despite the desperate lack of empathy of understanding of others #and himself #like i can appreciate the desperate desire to make change for the better

#and yeah geto was so horribly jealous its insane #of anything really #i also kinda really think geto has the mentality that after toji gojo is different? #that the boy he knew died and this is someone else #and what he does it ultimately for the boy he loved and for the boy who survived through changing #it also may be a bit of a fucked up coping mechanism how to deal with it all and differentiate what gojo was to him and is

#but yeah i was thinkinf about it and talking a lot #they were so badly exploited as children #we know its better with gojo than it was before #but then also if gojo takes on the hardest missions for the students that means he’s not present to teach its a fucked up circle #he doesnt understand enough to be a full leader to make a rebellion but he is trying god damn #but yeah the only way he could articulate what he’s actually feeling is through battle which is sad

#i take the way he stopped looking for exciting battles growing up is him growing up #like sending yuuta for cursed tools. he made his peace that he cant just chase men while he needs to take care of the kids #idk its all deeplt fucked up and im very sad for them

That's a fair criticism and even better commentary. I understand the aversion to some of the words I'm using to describe this. It's just that I don't know how else to effectively communicate what I think is the main issue. I do appreciate you're willing to hear me out on this though! (You're applying Umineko's "Without love, it cannot be seen." which makes me very happy.)

I'm US based which is a hypercapitalist hellscape, so when I talk about socialism it doesn't mean "do exactly what the Soviet Union did" (that would be very bad) but instead some of the ideas behind workers rights are good and desperately needed to curb stomp the type of labor exploitation they're experiencing. (Like unions for better pay, hours, and working conditions.)

Theory is useful because it give you the words to describe exactly what's wrong and the ideas that can guide you towards productive solutions. I can say Jujutsu Society is bad because of labor exploitation from the higher ups and therefore unions would help mitigate their power because I learned about those things.

Gojo and Geto don't have those words or background so they see part of the problem but have no name for it. And because they don't understand why it's happening, their solutions are surface-level treatments that don't address the real source of their suffering.

Toji was a symptom of the problem. Geto saw Toji as the entire problem so he thinks eradicating anything like Toji is the solution. Gojo saw Toji as a symptom and a potential solution to the real problem—Jujutsu Society. He recognized that Toji being strong is what helped him escape this problem so he laser focused on it. If he and his students are strong, they can change things. What things exactly? Gojo doesn't have the knowledge or time to dwell deeper on it. To him strength=revolution. He neglects the need for mutual aid, addressing overwork, and limiting child labor because the words and framework to deal with that are missing.

Gojo can't really do anything other than keep things the sameish because he doesn't know how the better world he's seeking works. (Similar to how you recognized this flaw of his, but couldn't put it into words since you didn't have them.) He both does things better for his students and screws them up in whole new different ways as a result of this. It's very tragic.

And everything wrong with Jujutsu Society is still just a microcosm of Japanese work culture that leads to this exploitation in the first place. Nanami is the only character that makes this connection and he has no idea what to do about it other than work where he feels less bad about it.

It's kind of like knowing a grease fire is dangerous but not knowing how to put it out.

>Gojo throws water on the grease fire trying to put it out and makes it worse before he starts suffocating it with his body instead of a blanket.

>Geto tries to eradicate grease from existence not knowing that other types of fire exist.

>Nanami realizes oxygen and fuel are the source of fires but he has none of the tools to put them out or prevent them.

>Sukuna understands that letting the fire burn everything to ash means there will never be fire again. ...While ignoring this also means there will be nothing left in the aftermath.

If any of these people were taught fire safety (labor theory), their methods of dealing with the fire (labor exploitation) and preventing it in the future would be so much better.

Japan has some of the lowest union memberships and the worst working conditions amongst rich countries. JJK has a lot to say on the topic so I'm being very annoying about it because I don't see others talking about it this way.

'David Tennant bounds into the room, friendly, super articulate and energetic.

The actor and Doctor Who favourite, regularly voted the best Doctor by fans, is set to appear once again as the Time Lord in the forthcoming 60th anniversary specials.

The ongoing actors' strike prevents him from talking about those (Doctor Who is now a BBC/Disney co-production and US actors' union Sag-Aftra has been on strike since July).

But we're together, in a room full of books and leftover croissants - clearly actors need sustenance - to talk about Shakespeare, a playwright Tennant calls a "genius" who "had a particular sense of what it is to be a human" and expresses it "in a way no one else really does".

Tennant, who is an associate artist with the Royal Shakespeare Company, is steeped in the Bard. One critic described his Hamlet, which aired on the BBC in 2009, as "theatrical history in the making".

He excelled as Romeo and Richard II and, when we met, had just finished his first day of rehearsals for an already sold out run of Macbeth at London's Donmar Warehouse.

He's no-nonsense about the superstition of only referring to this most atmospheric work as the "Scottish play". Tennant freely uses the word "Macbeth".

But he admits to terrible nerves ahead of the show - however successful you are, it never gets any better, he says.

Renowned actors have been in his shoes; famously Lord Olivier was Macbeth to Vivien Leigh's Lady Macbeth in 1955, Sir Ian McKellen and Dame Judi Dench had their turn in 1976 and Sir Antony Sher and Dame Harriet Walter in 1999.

For Tennant, Shakespearean roles are like "Olympic events for an actor".

"The idea that you're being invited to stand next to these greats and sort of challenge yourself, test yourself against them and see if you've got something new to bring to that… that's part of what's exciting about it."

West Lothian-born Tennant "always wanted to be an actor" (his childhood obsession with Doctor Who had a big part to play in that) and from the way people talked about the plays, "I knew there was something magical about Shakespeare."

But that didn't mean he was immediately hooked when introduced to Macbeth at school - although he's at pains to praise his teacher.

He says the plays were written to be performed and it's "a shame that the first experience of Shakespeare is sitting in a classroom, trying to mouth these words that don't sit in your mouth and don't necessarily make a lot of sense to you at the age of 14".

"That's why a lot of people fall out of love with Shakespeare before they've really had a chance to fall in love."

Tennant fell in love when TAG, a Glasgow theatre company, brought As You Like It to his school's assembly hall. "I didn't necessarily understand every word and some of it felt perhaps a little unnatural and foreign to me". But the teenage Tennant was transported "because it was live and it was happening".

Now his head is brimful of a play that opens with three witches plotting and takes us on a journey of murder and guilt. Tennant says Shakespeare's take is "incredibly modern".

"The way he expresses Macbeth's fear of never sleeping, the torture of being in the restless ecstasy of never being able to close your eyes."

Even for Tennant, though, Shakespeare needs decoding. He tells me, when he opens one of the plays, he "100%" puts the modern translation next to the old. He deciphers the language so theatre audiences don't have to.

"If we're doing our job halfway properly, you shouldn't have to worry about understanding every syllable. You will be transported by it."

There can, though, be layers of meaning that still surprise you 10 weeks into a run, he says. "Usually on a wet Wednesday afternoon matinee, you'll suddenly go 'oh, that's what that line means.'"

Macbeth is one of 18 Shakespeare plays that would have disappeared if, seven years after his death, the actors John Heminges and Henry Condell hadn't published their friend's greatest plays in the First Folio.

That book was the first time the plays had been put together.

Before then, only 18 had been printed, in small paperback editions known as quartos.

The First Folio was registered for publication on 8 November 1623.

There were 750 copies made. Without it, we could have lost all the unprinted plays, around half of Shakespeare's works, including not just Macbeth but Julius Caesar, The Tempest, As You Like It and Twelfth Night.

Four hundred years on, 235 original First Folios are known to survive - 150 are in the US, and about 50 in the UK and Ireland.

The BBC is running a huge amount of content to mark the 400th anniversary. The celebratory season will include the 2018 adaptation of King Lear starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, Shakespeare Live! from the RSC, and a semi-fictionalised comic drama on Radio 4 about the creation of the First Folio.

Tennant says: "The reason that those plays are still performed around the world and the reason that Shakespeare is the cultural colossus that he is, is because that book was published."...

For Tennant, Shakespeare is "weirdly modern" because he captures how complicated it is to be human.

"He writes about the moment he was in, which seems to, by dint of his genius, also be the moment we are in."

Tennant is one of the UK's most exciting actors, known to wider audiences not just for Doctor Who and Broadchurch, but his film role as Barty Crouch Junior in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

But you get the sense that there's even more magic, for Tennant, in performing Shakespeare.

It's why he is celebrating the anniversary of the First Folio, that book that was the first step in creating a legacy for the greatest playwright in the English speaking world.'

"FIREBUG SUSPECTED OF WAREHOUSE FIRE," Winnipeg Tribune. March 24, 1913. Page 3. ---- Canada Oil Company's Warehouse Gutted by Flames on Saturday Evening - Incendiarism Only Possible Explanation ---- From an unknown cause, or one only explained by the possible presence of a firebug in the community, fire broke out and completely destroyed the supplementary warehouse of the Canadian Oil company, on Tweed avenue, Elmwood, at about 6.10 o'clock on Saturday evening.

The first alarm was turned in at 6.10 o'clock by some person unknown. but the fire must have been burning for a considerable time prior to this. as when the brigades from halls 8, 3 and 7 arrived a few minutes later, the interior of the building was a roaring Inferno of seething flame. The roof had already become gnated and there was no possible chance to save the thirty-year-old and oil-saturated building from destruction. All that remained for the firemen to do was to prevent the blaze from spreading.

Building Thirty Years old The building was a two-storey one and for thirty years it has been a warehouse in which the Canada Oil company has stored its products. It was consequently constructed of the most inflammable material possible. and according to some, matches applied to the woodwork in almost any part of the old structure would have resulted in its complete destruction by fire.

Firebug in Community There were no heaters or furnaces anywhere in the building, neither were there any electrical fittings, so that the chance of an overheated flue, оr а defective electric wire as the cause of the outbreak is eliminated. It remains the only conclusion possible therefore that the place was deliberately ignited by a firebug, whose pres- ence in the midst of the community appears to be a certainty from the number of more or less severe fires that have occurred recently in this vicinity and in Norwood.

A Spectacular Scene Flames shooting high into the air, and throwing a lurid light into the darkening twilit evening sky. the whole being surmounted by a tremendous column of thick black smoke made a fantastic and weird picture, and was an attraction to which hundreds of people were drawn from the city. The result was that extra police had to be sent from the central st tlon in order to keep the crowds in check, for some thousands had gathered to see the tremendous pyrotechnical display. The numerous barrels of lubricating oil with which the lower floor of the building was covered burst frequently throwing tremendous flames into the air and presenting an effect that was wonderful to behold.

Motor Boat Burned With a crash that could be heard for a considerable distance, one hour after the first call had been sent in, the roof of the building collapsed and the brightness of the lurid scene was heightened by the additional mass of flame exposed. At one end of the old building stood a lean-to shed in which Manager J. T. Peacock stored his motor boat. This was totally destroyed, its value being about $600.

The exact value of the building and stock consumed by the fire is not at present known, but the whole is insured in the sum of $15,000 by Toronto firms, particulars of whom were not available.

Work injuries on my team have skyrocketed, especially on the night crew, since our new store manager started but then again our workload has doubled on the day team and tripled on the night team but they won't give us any help and they're encouraging the floor team not to help us because! A customer! Might want a credit card! You have to make sure the customer signs up for a credit card!!!

Meanwhile the support teams can die idc they don't get credit cards so they're less than useless.

Do you think GoGoV was influenced by Metal Heroes's Rescue Police trilogy?

definitely had to have been on their mind at least somewhat given the theming. im glad that in the interim between the rescue trilogy and gogov toei was able to afford more locations besides the One Warehouse nearly every rescue in winspector and solbrain took place in

Jason: It's not like I try to blow things up, exactly. It just sort of happens. You've got to admit though, fire is fascinating.

[aladork]

also does alador still have fire flu. is someone going to un fire flu him. or during reconstruction is he going to sneeze and explode something that makes people realize. i doubt there are doctors in the apocalypse wherever the hell he was.

also i do think there were people squatting in the blight manor during the apocalypse. yes there is a security system. however if they had any people serving them like maids or butlers im sure those people would have let stragglers in. it would have been an extraordinarily safe place because of that security system. i do think they would be allowed to stay during the reconstruction.
