The Dutch vote to ban New Year's fireworks, but not just yet.
Fireworks have been a New Year tradition for decades in the Netherlands, but the scale of injuries and damage on the night has spiralled in recent years.
Last New Year's Eve, two people were killed and 1,162 people needed emergency treatment for injuries including burns and eye damage.
MPs back a consumer ban but support postponing it because of the risk of compensation claims.
I know it's still a few months out, but the looming tariffs on China might have an outsized effect on #MAGA #fireworks displays for the 4th of July this year. My neighbors are going to be so pissed lol.... They'll pretend not to notice and break the bank on fireworks anyways, because it's just who they are. I'm just glad it will be a financial challenge for them.
Maybe they'll have to make a tough decision between eggs for a cake or fireworks. Yes, I am that petty.

Is Elon Regulating His Own Rockets Now?

"One of Elon Musk’s #Starship rockets exploded over the #GulfOfMexico early yesterday evening, creating a spectacular #fireworks -like display and disrupting commercial air traffic...
#Musk had claimed repeatedly that he was over-regulated by the #FAA, especially after the agency fined #SpaceX $633,000 for launching rockets with unapproved changes."
Musical Interlude: Listened to some more baroque today. This is a very popular piece, for understandable reasons. The idea of music meant to be played through fireworks seems odd, but I'm told that the big sounds of fireworks are actually engineered, and they can be made more quiet if the manufacturers wanted to...
