Ukraine - Zelensky's Speech

Ukraine - Zelensky's Speech

President Zelensky's gave this speech tonight. Glory to Ukraine.

I am grateful to every Ukrainian who stays to defend our cities, even in the encirclement.

Our Freedom

But I also know that there are people who really need to get out.

Who cannot stay.

And we heard the promise that there would be humanitarian corridors.

But there are no humanitarian corridors.

Instead of humanitarian corridors, they can only make bloody ones.

A family was killed in Irpen today.

A man, a woman, and two children.

Right on the road.

As in the shooting club.

When they were just trying to get out of town. To escape.

The whole family.

How many such families have died in Ukraine!

We will not forgive.

We will not forget.

We will punish everyone who committed atrocities in this war.

On our land.

We will find every bastard.

Which shot at our cities, our people. Which bombed our land.

Which launched rockets.

Which gave the order and pressed "start".

There will be no quiet place on this earth for you.

Except for the grave.

Thoughts - Alone in the Universe

Thoughts - Alone in the Universe

I think...the thought that humanity is the only thing in the universe, that we are completely alone out there is one of the most terrifying things.

What why?  Why do you think it's terrifying to be alone?

It's given me something sharp and critical to think about, and I thought I'd share it.

Writing - Colonel Thomas Ferebee

Writing - Colonel Thomas Ferebee

Ferebee.

Thomas Ferebee.

Colonel Thomas Ferebee.

Colonel Thomas Ferebee, the name of the man, the soldier, the airman, who pressed a button.  He pressed a button and a bomb fell from a plane.

Colonel Thomas Ferebee was an airman, who pressed a button, and dropped a bomb from a plane.  He dropped a bomb that would later be known as the first atomic bomb.  The first atomic bomb on people.  The first atomic bomb from a plane, at the push of his button, on people.

Colonel Thomas Ferebee pushed a button and dropped a bomb, and a hundred and fifty thousand people, a hundred and fifty thousand people died in a flash so hot, and so fast, that it left shadows where they stood.  Colonel Thomas Ferebee, an airman, pressed a button and an atomic bomb fell down from a plane.

The bomb killed a hundred and fifty thousand people.  No one ever says, history does not remember, "Colonel Thomas Ferebee killed a hundred and fifty thousand people."

No one remeembers that Colonel Thomas Ferebee pushed a button.

They only remember the white hot flash.

And the silence thereafter.
