tornado sirens, my neighbor's ducks, and a crazy flock of vultures circling their way right towards some lighting

It's all shits n giggles until the clarinets and the brass section start making some very realistic fake tornado siren noises during the cloudiest part of the day and you have a panic attack while preparing to load the trailer

We did it, we fucking did it.
This is a 1986 Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000BSC, currently in service in Julian, Nebraska. This siren used to belong to Cooper Nuclear Power Plant and was removed and sold when they upgraded their system. This replaced a Federal Signal Model 5B. This siren has been having issues for a good few years due to a piss poor wiring job on the RCM and lack of maintenance. I started working on this alongside the town hall board in late November 2023, I couldn't get the control box to work, so I contacted my siren enthusiast buddies in Omaha to help out. After two weeks of them getting everything corrected and functional, it was time to put it back together. Saturday, December 16th, 2023, was the final day for all major work to be completed. A new 120v relay was added for a more effective way of sounding off the siren rather than the transformer seen. At 4:26 PM CST, the Sheriff's office sounded the siren for the final test. It roars like a Thunderbolt once again. The siren will be maintained by me and my buddies from Omaha from now on.

are tornado sirens… a real thing? like where do they put them? and how frequent? is it like streetlights?
Yup, they’re real. This is what they look like
Tumblr media
They spin in circles when they run, and they run them usually on Saturday mornings to make sure they still work (but never cloudy/rainy Saturday mornings so as to not confuse ppl). I dont know how frequently they’re placed but definitely not as frequently as streetlights because they’re loud. I’ve noticed they’re typically placed on or at schools. You should be able to hear one at least faintly from any place you live. My school was special because it would test it on Wednesday at 3:30pm instead of Saturday at 9:00am just in time for all the little children to leave school and get hearing damage.

One thing I hate so fucking much about people dig up shit to “cancel” people for is that they are never part of the affected demographic. They are not looking for shit someone did wrong 10 years ago because they want to make sure they’re a good person, they’re doing it because they want an excuse to hate them.
The obvious consequence of this, however, is that suddenly an entire demographic is deeply uncomfortable with a creator who once brought them joy.
A thread recently came out about how when Wilbur Soot was 19 he made a lot of very harmful antisemitic jokes. He is now 25 years old. He has talked numerous times about how much he hates the person he was before he was about 22, and how much he’s grown since then. He’s demonstrated this growth too.
The person who published this thread was not jewish and I would assume that the person who gave them the information is not either.
I am jewish. Seeing these screenshots of “jokes” about the genocide of my people fundamentally hurt me. These screenshots do not show his current beliefs or behaviors. It would be impossible to find these jokes if you hadn’t gone actively searching for them. However I still felt betrayed and panicked, no matter how much I knew that Wilbur has changed. I do not know if I can ever watch his content again and find comfort.
This is the problem with digging into peoples past this way. It is never, and never has been, a selfless act nor a form of activism. It is the very opposite. It is the exploitation of marginalized identities to justify your dislike of someone.
