"In just a few centuries, the people of Easter Island wiped out their forest, drove their plants and animals to extinction, and saw their complex society spiral into chaos and cannibalism." So writes Jared Diamond in his best-selling book Collapse, which was published in 2005. Nearly two decades later, an international team of geneticists has found evidence that this famous cautionary tale never happened. The true story of Rapa Nui (named Easter Island by colonial Europeans) is not one of self-inflicted population collapse, the new findings suggest, but of cultural resilience… Well, maybe! New genetic evidence overrules ecocide theory of Easter Island…
Infrastructure collapse: Many dams, locks & weirs on the USA's 12,000 MILES of inland waterways are in bad shape. Repairs on some are being carried out but I doubt there is enough funding in the end for everything…

Some like it hot! A man has bought his ‘dream’ house in Massachusetts despite warnings from experts that it will soon fall into the sea. To be fair, he seems to be aware of the risks and says he is taking a ‘life’s too short’ philosophy when buying the property, so this isn’t a case of full delusion. Still, this serves as a microcosm for the larger issue of coastal erosion across the US east coast, as 80-90% of the beaches along this coast are eroding. Expect more and more coastal infrastructure to crumble away as the climate crisis accelerates… Massachusetts man buys $395,000 house despite warnings it will ‘fall into ocean’…

Le Lyonnais was making its first trip from America to Europe, carrying 132 people when it collided with the Adriatic, an American sailing vessel, on Nov. 2, 1856. The ship sank due to damage sustained in the collision, and 116 of the people aboard Le Lyonnais died in the disaster. Almost an infinity of space, esp in 1856, and yet this collision of ship and sailing vessel. Worse odds is that it was the ship's first trans-Atlantic voyage… Ship that sank in 1856 with 132 onboard discovered in Atlantic Ocean 200 miles off Massachusetts…

Instead of fent in their IV drips the patients got tap water causing bacterial infections that led to 16 deaths.

SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn mission took flight Tuesday morning (Sept. 10th @ 5:23 a.m. EDT) when a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral:
Taken by Conrad Pope on September 10, 2024 @ Wilmington, NC A highlight of the mission will be their attempt to perform a spacewalk without an airlock. Opening the door of the Crew Dragon capsule will expose all four crew members to the vacuum of space. Only their spacesuits will keep them safe. I wish the crew good luck when they try it later this week…

We used to have insane asylums for people like this... we need to bring them back.
" .... this serves as a microcosm for the larger issue of coastal erosion across the US east coast, as 80-90% of the beaches along this coast are eroding."
I'm curious, when did coasts not erode?
