If I told you a twenty-three-year-old guy once jumped into a freezing reservoir, swam ten metres down to a sunken trolleybus, kicked through a glass window in the dark, and physically pulled dozens of people out of the water, you might think it was a movie script.
But it actually happened in 1976 in Yerevan, Armenia. The man was Shavarsh Karapetyan. He just happened to be jogging by the water when the bus went off the road. He also happened to be a seventeen-time world champion and eleven-time world record holder in underwater finswimming.
The vehicle sank straight to the bottom with ninety-two passengers inside. Because Karapetyan was quite literally the best underwater swimmer on the planet, he spent twenty minutes diving into the raw sewage and freezing water. He would hold his breath, swim down, locate someone in the murky dark, drag them to the surface, and pass them to his brother in a rowboat before going straight back down.
Twenty of those passengers survived. There is no record of a single person ever pulling off an underwater physical rescue of that scale before or since.
The physical toll completely ended his athletic career. The broken glass shredded his legs, and the heavily polluted water gave him severe pneumonia and sepsis. He spent forty-five days unconscious in a hospital and lost his physical ability to compete at a world-class level.
When reporters later asked him what the hardest part of the rescue was, he did not mention the cold or the injuries. He said that on one of his dives in the pitch black, he accidentally grabbed a leather seat cushion instead of a passenger, and he spent years having nightmares about the person he could have brought up instead.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇷🇺 The Iran war is giving America's adversaries something no spy satellite can: live footage of US military limits.
China, Russia, and North Korea watched US AI-assisted precision strikes in real time for the first time.
They also watched something more valuable: how fast the US burned through Tomahawk missiles and Patriot interceptors.
Advanced munitions stockpiles depleting faster than they can be replaced.
That's the takeaway Beijing and Moscow just filed away.
The cheap drone angle makes it worse.
Iran's $300 drones, some built on Chinese parts, kept US Gulf allies on defense and forced expensive interceptor responses at a ratio that's simply unsustainable in a prolonged conflict.
Russia is fighting a war where NATO resupply depends on those same stockpiles.
China is war-gaming a Taiwan scenario that would demand them even faster.
The US just gave both of them a free intelligence briefing on exactly where to apply pressure.

The Cardinals will rebalance the MLB that the Dodgers ruined. A tale as old as time, good versus evil.

Andy Garcia pitched the karaoke scene in Black Rain. It feels like simple character development as U.S.-Japan tensions melt. But what it's actually doing is making you FEEL for Garcia. You wanna be his mate. So when the following death scene hits, it hits harder

#OTD May 2, 373:
Athanasius of Alexandria, often called ‘the Father of Orthodoxy,’ died after a lifetime of courageous defense of the faith. A key figure at the Council of Nicaea in 325, he became the chief opponent of Arianism, the heresy that denied Christ’s full divinity. Exiled five times for his stand, he served as bishop of Alexandria for 45 years. Athanasius was also the first to list the 27 books of the New Testament as we recognize them today.

@PolitiBunny @MarkWarner Government shouldn’t be involved in healthcare
English
@MarkWarner Taxpayers shouldn’t be funding COVID subsidies for Americans who can more than afford their own health insurance.
English
We all knew this was going to happen – after Republicans ended ACA tax credits that kept health insurance affordable, millions are now dropping their coverage.
It never had to be this way.

A reason we’re in this mess is that we’ve tacitly accepted the lie that racism is the ultimate sin.
Worse than rape. Worse than grooming. Worse than pedophilia. Worse than trafficking. Worse than domestic violence. Worse than incest. Worse than everything!

Gas just slammed past $5 a gallon in Ohio.
Enough with the spin. Enough with the excuses.
Anyone still running cover for this disaster instead of calling it out is part of the problem. People are getting squeezed while the talking points stay the same.
And spare me the comparisons and deflections about past administrations. That doesn’t help anyone standing at the pump right now watching the numbers climb higher than they’ve ever seen in their life.
This isn’t normal. And people are right to be furious.

@DashDeCosta Hi Leon, I hope the family is doing well. Can you do me a favor and show me exactly where people of color can’t vote in this country, other than those who are here illegally.

@KyleKulinski @redsteeze Nazi were for universal healthcare, gun control, tree huggers, and you should read their thoughts on the unwanted.
Sound familiar.

@redsteeze lol you people or so dishonest. You support Trump and Netanyahu (2 modern day nazis) but pretend the guy who wants to end wars and deliver universal healthcare is a nazi. Only the lowest IQ dipshits will fall for your nonsense.

The tattoo on his chest is not just a swastika it's not just a Nazi symbol. It's VERY specific.
The tattoo of "Totenkoof"that he has on his chest is of the Nazi watch guards who stood over concentration camps watchtowers and purposely shot Jews at will from within those walls.
This is what pod save America is now this is what the political and electoral left is now.

Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better. I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. Clearly, that’s what so many people in Maine have done - from all different walks of life and political persuasions.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Retired U.S. Army Col. Douglas Macgregor says Iran, not Washington, controls the escalation ladder.
"The Iranians are now in charge. They have the strategic initiative. They can dictate the escalation."
Trump needs an exit, not a strike package.
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal
🇺🇸🇮🇷 The deal Iran is offering would destroy American credibility on every ocean, and walking away empty-handed is just as bad. Col. Douglas Macgregor says Trump is trapped, and a hypersonic missile won't save him. "He can't twist this into a win." If the terms don't change, the only exits are humiliation or escalation.
English
@AiwithZoaina @MarioNawfal Iran is on their six regime in eight weeks. Nothing like being in charge.
English
@MarioNawfal Col. Macgregor is right— Iran now holds the escalation ladder and strategic initiative. Trump is trapped: no easy win, just humiliation or risky strikes. Time for real diplomacy, not bluster. US credibility at stake!
