Some days I’m surprised at how introspective people are here, ignoring posts about a genuinely very bad earthquake. Someone said recently that unless there’s a tsunami, westerners pay almost no attention at all, and sadly that seems to be true. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Buttigieg: The fact that the Trump admin deleted references to 4 American service members killed in action b/c that simple and tragic reality complicates their narrative that we're not at war, when everybody knows that we are, shows how far from reality they are. I think voters are fed up with it.

When your preteen becomes suddenly obsessed with crochet? Damn straight you take her to every thrift store in town to find whatever she wants. Including a cool vintage wooden carrier for it all.

Yup. Canadian wildfires are expected to worsen in the future, as our warming climate increases their frequency and severity. This is pretty much a statement of fact. Sadly.

Fingers crossed for all of us who try to live healthy and eat our vegetables🤪

Hey everyone! I just posted 22 new volcano tissue box covers in my Etsy store. They are lidar (or radar)-derived scale models of actual volcanoes that I art-ified. Lots of cool colors in this batch that include Etna, Olympus Mons, and cascade favorites. They sell FAST. phaneritic.etsy.com

Automatic slip model for the M7.8 South Mindanao Philipppines earthquake,June 7, 2026 (SLIPNEAR method, Géoazur/OCA) Due to the lack of accessible stations in Philippines, the model is moderatly constrained, but a clear rupture propagation to the south is found. Result for the East dipping plane.

As seen in Turlock.

Adorable young kestrels surprised by a butterfly.

AI can complete a dissertation in 30 minutes, huh? I don't think AI can camp for weeks every summer for three years describing and sampling stratigraphic sections and doing lab work and modeling the rest of the year. And I'm sure AI can't talk those grumpy farmers into giving them access.
