Donghe seems a lot less calm but still not too bad: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3KJ...

Seems unlikely, so far!

Live stream from Taitung, Taiwan — no obvious tsunami waves so far. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqS_...

A screen capture from TVBS News showing the sea and a rocky beach with two rescue workers and a dog in the foreground and around 8 people watching for the tsunami to arrive.

Crossposted from TVBS on Threads: the scene in Hualien, Taiwan, as the tsunami from the M8.8 earthquake in Kamchatka arrives.

Surprised those folks are allowed to stay there.

Tsunami warning for Taiwan:
Less than 30cm for northern Taiwan
30cm to 1 meter for southern Taiwan

Tsunami estimated to arrive at about 12:40 in Hokkaido (Sapporo). 1pm in Niigata. Just before 2pm in Okinawa (Naha I guess).

Taiwan: 1:19pm local time in Hualien, 1:24 in Taitung, 1:52pm in Keelung, 2:06pm in Kaohsiung.

Well spotted.

A little rattle down here in Taitung. First time getting the mobile earthquake alert in a couple of months. Could tell it was local before the data was published because there wasn’t a peep on my timeline about it. XD

In his younger days, and now graying and losing his hair. His ears are always the first thing people comment on!

I have a mix (he’s half Schnauzer with a Schnauzer face and hair and the rest Formosan Mountain Dog, including huge pointy ears), and he’s the loveliest dog I’ve ever known. He’s 16 now and I don’t know if I’ll ever have another dog, but if I do, I’ll absolutely adopt another Formosan/Formosan mix.

I did the same for so many years. When I realized it was ADHD the whole time, it felt like a weight lifted — I stopped regretting all those college majors, endless hobbies, career trajectories. They weren’t failures, it turned out. They just made me into a uniquely skilled and adaptable person! 😁

I visited a multi-faith place like this in Vietnam. Didn’t realize Taiwan had something similar.

Trump pauses tariffs on millions of low-value packages from China President Donald Trump has paused the imposition of tariffs on small-value packages arriving from China.

President Donald Trump has paused imposing tariffs on small-value packages arriving from #China, apparently to give federal agencies time to sort out how to process millions of such shipments that have come through the U.S. border every day without paying taxes.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Thank you! Deleting now!!! (All this hassle for a couple of coloring books and pencils 🤦)

Did you ever get this to work? I’m in the same boat! New passport number and new APRC number (not to mention the app insists on an expiration date for the APRC when one doesn’t exist)

TIL: I thought I spotted an anachronism in a novel just now, but it turns out CDs and CD players have been around a good decade longer than I thought. 🤯

Am really looking forward to the end of those fireworks that sound like rifle shots after this weekend. 😫

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Google Maps to rename 'Gulf of Mexico' to 'Gulf of America' for US users Google Maps will change the name of "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" once it is officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System, it said in an X post on Monday.

Wow

Just freakin’ wow
