submitted by https://slrpnk.net/u/Sergio
If you’re not familiar with sumo this is a great video to watch, it’s a summary of all the top action of the day and the commentary is in English.
If there are words you don’t recognize…
some words refer to the sumo wrestler’s ranking: yokozuna, ozeki, sekiwake, komosubi and finally maegashira (which also have numbers.) These rankings change after every tournament. https://www.sumo.or.jp/EnHonbashoBanzuke/index/
.
the rankings are different from the https://www.sumo.or.jp/EnHonbashoMain/leaders/
.
other words like yorikiri and oshitaoshi refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimarite
. There’s a lot of pushing, tripping, and throwing!
finally there are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_sumo_terms
bc this endeavor has been around for several centuries.

At least 39 dead after tornadoes, wildfires and dust storms wreak havoc across multiple US states
submitted by https://lemmy.cafe/u/cm0002
TYLERTOWN, Miss. (AP) — Unusually vicious and damaging weather across multiple U.S. states spawned violent tornadoes, blinding dust storms and fast-moving wildfires over the weekend, leaving at least 39 people dead.
In the latest tally of the destruction, the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management said Sunday evening that more than 400 homes were damaged as wildfires swept across the state Friday. At least 74 homes in and around Stillwater were destroyed by wildfires, Mayor Will Joyce said Sunday night on Facebook.
The emergency management department also said the Oklahoma Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed four fatalities related to the fires or high winds.
The National Weather Service said weekend tornado watches had mostly expired, but dangerous winds were still possible in the Carolinas, east Georgia and northern Florida through Sunday.

submitted by https://europe.pub/u/tfm
The group that drafted a key blueprint for Donald Trump’s second term convened a meeting in Washington D.C. this week to consider proposals for bulldozing the European Union (EU).
The Polish investigative outlet VSquare revealed that the Heritage Foundation gathered hardline conservative groups on 11 March to hear how they would overhaul the current structures of the EU.
The “closed-door workshop” featured a debate on a new paper produced by the lobby groups MCC and Ordo Iuris entitled: “The Great Reset: Restoring Member State Sovereignty in the 21st Century”.
Where to request inactive or unmoderated communities?

Most instances have a community where users can request the moderator role for inactive or unmoderated communities.
As each instance names these slightly differently, I thought I’d create a thread to collect as many as possible.
