I am SO addicted to these! Oh well, there's worse things to be addicted to I suppose!

Including tonight, 8 sleeps to go to get rid of my purple friend!

I think mine is fairly accurate, about me. More to me would be nice. Not sure if applies to giving, receiving or both!

My point exactly. If your neighbourhood falls into a sinkhole, it's small comfort that the rest of the tectonic plate is basically unaffected 🥵

Absolutely! Example: I read that Indonesia is moving its capital from Jakarta: www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/11... Most built-up parts of New York City affected too by buildings pushing things down (among other causes).

5/ Good news/Bad news summation: - humans can't destabilize the whole Earth geologically (outside sci-fi) - we absolutely can destabilize the biosphere and many lovely areas where billions of us live, grow food, get resources. Thus pronounces this former physics guy / earth science nerd, fwiw

More: we can't won't mess up the whole crust. Exception: if we move asteroids/comets around to mine them, and somehow steer one onto Earth… put that aside 😰 BUT we can affect regions / cities, e.g. pumping out groundwater. Micro-quakes from fracking (disputed). Human scale is where we live!

Have a read about isostatic rebound. Given the mass involved this might allay your fears. Human activity doesn't really compare. Localised subsidence is still and issue around deep mines etc. What is Isostatic Rebound? - Earth How share.google/PILcm07C7RcK...

They are so brain washed in the US they think it’s normal to work until you die. The strangest ‘free’ country where it’s the home of the slave

Right? All people like Miller and all behind Project 2025 or Heritage Foundation in general are more terrifying. Sneaky. And just pure evil

As much as I don’t like how much we cover with concrete, bricks and tarmac, don’t think it has noticeable impact on Earth’s crust. Just rough numbers give order of magnitude barely comparable to even just continental crust.

OK my two physicist friends, @belungerer.bsky.social & @lars-o-matic.bsky.social, I have a weird question. Sinkholes are just indicative in relation to my question, but this drove me to ask. 🧵 1 Large sinkhole opens in sporting oval in Melbourne’s north-east, near tunnelling works

What have I been asking the last few days? That's right, who next! Which countries could be in Trump's sights after Venezuela? When describing the operation, Trump dusted off the 1823 Monroe Doctrine and its promise of US supremacy in the western hemisphere - re-branding it the "Donroe Doctrine".

And WTF? The judge is 92!!!! "I am, sir, Nicolás Maduro. I am president of the Republic of Venezuela and I am here kidnapped since January 3rd," he told the court in a calm Spanish before an interpreter translated for the court. "I was captured at my home in Caracas, Venezuela."

Trump is a disaster for Australia, yet we have a Labor Gov't following his every move. AUKUS is the greatest tragedy, the greatest bribe, the greatest lie, it will not make us safer. In this one piece of legislation we lose any chance of high speed trains connecting our capital cities for ever.

Bed time! Goodnight all!

Yesterday's wildlife tragedy is balanced a bit by me saving a blue-tongued lizard on my front porch. A magpie had it cornered. So I chased the maggie away and ushered the reptile to safety. I also put out two shallow saucers of water as it's very hot here today.

And there it is. It was never about drugs.

Here’s a closer look at the amazing prehistoric rufous scrub bird - ancient relatives to most song birds and related to lyrebirds, we are hoping that our breakthrough with capture techniques == new opportunities for conservation (1/2)

QLD Police .....colour me surprised 🙄

Further to that last post of mine - in case you were wondering what an Australasian swamphen looks like (formerly known as the purple swamphen - for obvious reasons), here's one I photographed at Mount Gambier in 2022. This one exuded attitude 😆 The are beautiful birds.

It’s pretty much like every single person with the ability to speak up and decry the invasion of Poland just went ‘nope, nothing to see here’ and waited for the world to end because they didn’t want to hurt Hitler’s feelings and make themselves a target…except Denmark.

"Become part of the US"... Can we please be a little more precise in our language here? They are talking about invasion. Not borrowing a cup of sugar.

Cannot reiterate this strenuously enough: heatwaves are a public health crisis. They kill. Take action to protect yourself

This is a reminder that the entire might of the US military could not beat *Afghanistan* and the leadership is infinitely more stupid now.

We need Greenland': Trump repeats threat to annex Danish territory

If Venezuela didn’t have vast oil resources or Greenland and Ukraine weren’t blessed with an abundance of rare earth minerals, you can bet your bottom dollar that neither Trump nor his buddy Putin would be remotely interested in any of them. #ImpeachTrump

Surely we consider US oil companies terrorists now right?

If Greenland falls to the United States, just what is the point of NATO? Europe can surely never trust its former ally again under a Trump administration.

Just a cute little picture to go with the information below…
