Read this thread, and respond - you only have a short time. I find these proposals inhumane, unjustifiable and sickening. If you have an ounce of decency, you probably will too.
So tell the govt, asap.

Yo conocí a Dawkins y a Hawking. Me estaba dando cuenta de esto ayer 😳
Yo me pedí el día libre en el trabajo, la niña no va a la guardería, y el árbol también sigue encendido por aquí. Aprovechando mientras podemos para disfrutar el día. Un abrazo y felices reyes 😊

Apparently surface rupture during the Myanmar 2025. I'm very surprised by the weak shaking along the rupture. I'm not sure if this is the main rupture (I would say no - nonetheless, VERY COOL). Author unknown, location Thazi (to be confirmed)

New satellite imaging of the Myanmar earthquake area confirms that the rupture was unusually long: ~500 km.
We discuss the data, the rupture, and the implications, in our latest post.

Impressive rupture 👇 for 28/03 #Myanmar #earthquake. Straight, simple. ⚒️ 🧪
It extends far to the south, much further than initially thought. Suggests that large part of segment broken in 1930 (Pyu quake) broke again. In addition to 1839 one of course.
Congrats @zaxonlee.bsky.social for this work

Two days after the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar, what have we learned?
Rapid seismological analyses shared by scientists suggest that the rupture was both longer and faster than expected - two factors that could have increased damage.

This is an excellent post, summarizing the scientific data from the Myanmar earthquake. The long fault and close proximity to major cities indicate a high level of damage and we should expect the death toll to rise. But the ongoing civil war near Mandalay suggests we may never know.

Buff... I remember that... (Not) Happy days 😓
I've asked a lot of people what it was like for them. Lots of different experiences, and yet so much in common. What was yours like?
I still think about this, and wonder what things would be like had #covid not happened, but I guess today's conversations made me think of it more than usual.
We came back to a completely different world. In my case, to my PhD, which I had to try to finish amidst a global pandemic that changed everything forever. Today, my partner was telling me about the start of the pandemic in London, and what it was like for him, and I'm still mind-blown.
We had spent the previous months at the Spanish research stations in Antarctica, watching the pandemic unfold from the distance, before being evacuated in a hurry. We eventually made it home, as this great article by @squigglyvolcano.bsky.social tells.

Five years ago I was in a ship in the south Atlantic Ocean, trying to get home before the entire world shut down. I remember walking around the deck, marveling at the albatrosses and petrels flying around the ship, while also feeling anxious looking at the news and wondering if we'd make it home.
People have been talking a lot today about it being the fifth anniversary of the first #covid #lockdown in the UK. Weirdly, it feels like it was both yesterday and ages ago.
Hearing about people's memories made me think of how incredibly different my own experience was, at least in the beginning.
This is phenomenal geology humor (full video at www.instagram.com/reel/DHHL3fI...)

📸 La imagen tiene una resolución tan magnífica que incluso podemos apreciar perfectamente delineadas algunas coladas de lava 🌋 e incluso, con un poco de esfuerzo, se ven las carreteras delineadas sobre la blanca nieve.
🛰️ Hoy, el satélite Sentinel 2 del Programa Copernicus de la UE, tomaba esta magnífica imagen de la isla de Tenerife, pero con un regalo especial de navidad... vamos a ir acercándonos poco a poco a ver que vemos 👀 .

A M7.3 earthquake recently struck the island nation of Vanuatu, causing significant damage: collapsed buildings, crushed cars, landslides, and a small tsunami. The UN reports that at least six people have been killed.
Why did this earthquake occur, and what made it so damaging?
