Intussen terroriseren hier in #Kharkiv de Russen opnieuw met vernietigende drones de stad. Een aanzwellend, angstwekkend gebrom en dan een klap. Er zijn er meer onderweg.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

“Trump and Vance have revealed to Americans and to America’s allies their alignment with Russia, and their animosity toward Ukraine in general and its president in particular,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social. “The truth is ugly, but it’s necessary to face it.” theatln.tc/OBWzC38t

...the moments that the USA lost the respect of the entire thinking world....what a disgraceful bullying attitude, I have no words... www.facebook.com/share/p/16EA...

Today, Trump showed that he cannot possibly play a serious role in any international negotiations. Trump is simply an ignorant idiot. Congratulations to Zelensky for exposing that clown!

No purported democracy has ever treated an official guest as rudely as Trump & Vance today. It is even worse than my memories from Moscow. Trump is an autocratic bully.

⚒️🧪 Today's Icelandic Met Office update says that the likelihood of another eruption increases as more time passes, since magma is still accumulating below. There's also a neat detailed map of the eruption start points and fissures from all 7 Sundhnúksgígar eruptions so far. vedur.is/um-vi/fretti...

Have we really forgotten that the Nazis were the worst humans to ever walk the Earth? I don’t understand how this isn’t triggering mass protests in every city in the US or a response from the armed forces. We (the US, Canada, Britain, etc) fought, and won, a war over this shit. #LestWeForget

Succession of eruptions at Sundhnúka ending? "If there is an eruption, it probably won't happen until the turn of March-April," says Þorvaldur Þórðarson..." "But I highly doubt there will be an eruption. I think the chances will become greater that there won't be an eruption,..

Regarding the earthquakes near the greek island of #Santorini there a few things to know. #Earthquake swarms are common throughout the aegean, and usually they end without causing problems. So there is a high likelyhood that nothing will happen. However, there are several potential issues. 1/7

If you wondered why I referred to earthquake depth yesterday. That is because there are multiple seismogenic (earthquake-generating) zones in Greece, each with a different generation mechanism. Near Santorini, 10km depth is where some magma might be present. 🧪⚒️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A partir de datos del satélite Sentinel-1 y estaciones GNSS se ha detectado deformaciones (hasta 60mm) en la isla de Santorini tras más de 7.000 eventos sísmicos sufridos esta última semana

Thursday! What a concept!

#santorini earthquakes are getting shallower, more often and more towards the NE since last month. Loci colour denotes depth. Earthquake data from bbnet.gein.noa.gr real time catalogue.
