On December 4, 2025, the ShakeAlert EEW system released an incorrect alert for a magnitude 5.9 earthquake near Reno and Carson City, Nevada. The event did not occur, and has been deleted from USGS websites and data feeds. The USGS is working to understand the cause of the false alert.

And if we have jobs, in many cases, our symptoms and then we wouldn't have the jobs.

I'm so glad my kid is a teen now and a good one, because it's much easier than he was 2. But we still work hard just to function on any level at all.

wrt being disabled and able to work for a living ☝️I think I could probably manage 10–15 hours a week wfh flexible schedule. But doing what?

Same. Also sometimes I'm not posting, I'm curled up in bed. Or I'm using all my available energy to take my kid to his class. Or I spent the day on the phone trying to get a referral to a doctor and my executive function is shot.

And when Pakistan isn't flooding, it is absolutely roasting in the sun. The effective climate change on Pakistan is really scary, especially given the population.

Sri Lanka declares state of emergency after floods leave hundreds dead and many missing The president says it is the "most challenging natural disaster" in the country's history.

We’ve always had floods – but as the world warms, they’re becoming more intense and more severe.

We’re all in harms way – but those who don’t have a safe place to live, or can’t take food and water for granted, are always most vulnerable.

"Sri Lanka has declared a state of emergency after the flooding and landslides, which displaced more than 1.1 million people."

In Indonesia: "usually, there is an area where landslides are contained, but this time, landslides have affected all the villages that we saw as we made our way here"

'It's a milestone': Bay Area bridge will be first in Calif. to make major change Construction on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge is set to begin next week.

I can't quite figure this out. Wasn't the Benicia Bridge the first to go booth-free?

if you believe it’s a weapon why are you not defending yourself from it in a way that physically keeps it out of your body, ie, wearing a high-quality, well-fitted N95?

…is what i want to ask these people.

not that i think they have any logic behind any of this, besides eugenics and bigotry.

Lia’s fingers show a wooden embroidery hoop with black linen with a rectangle of dissolvable material on which is printed the Milky Way in black and white with some red and blue markings. Some tiny single strand seed stitch and French knots in white, peach, oranges, and dark browns and grays have been stitched. Below the Milky Way is black on black whipped backstitch that looks a bit like flames, it’s pubic hair. An hourglass-shaped needle minder that reads β€œthis is taking forever” is attached to the cloth.
