Yallllaaaaaaaaa let’s gooooo

45 years ago today. Buried on page 20 on a holiday Friday just like this one, news that changed the world. www.nytimes.com/1981/07/03/u...

The Women’s World Cup is in North America in 2031 and Seattle should be a primary host city

Wondering about that M3.8 earthquake near Oak Harbor last night? PNSN Director and Washington State Seismologist @haroldtobin.bsky.social explains what we recorded and how PNSN is monitoring the seismic activity.

If you felt that earthquake, please fill out the short DYFI? form linked in our automated post below! Thank you for contributing to citizen science. 🫡

I need all the good posting to continue when the women play next year everybody, I mean it

hell yeah we got one more crack at beating the beastquake

lol; lmao

FUCK THE REFS 2-0

On Telemundo the dudes are basically like “Free Balogun”. I watched that from every angle and it seems really hard to prove intentionality there!

that looked very painful and also like an accident

this is the only good use of pacific place mall

WAR DAD STRIKES

Still heartbroken from the Senegal-Belgium outcome (not to mention DR Congo this morning) but locked in for this one to see if we’ll have the USMNT back at Seattle Stadium next week….

I hope that duck is getting so many celebratory frozen peas tonight

lmao me in the group chat 10 min ago while we were just waiting for the inevitable conclusion

If we get England v. Mexico in the Azteca

LA is popping off

"this is a hostile atmosphere" you do not get to come for mexico at home in the knockout stage and be comfortable lol

The zombie story that will not die. Disease outbreaks are EXTREMELY rare in the wake of geophysical disasters like earthquakes. Cholera is especially unlikely since there wasn’t a single recorded case of it anywhere in South America last year.

there’s a decade between me and my youngest sibling but it always felt like a chasm in this specific respect. I was deeply closeted until my early 20s; she had out gay friends in high school (as a popular cheerleader, not even a theater kid)

Fun fact: The Dutch are the World Cup team least likely to be shot in a hunting accident.

penalties AGAIN world cup after dark is cracked

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed.

The streets are full of rainbows, though.

Things I never thought I would type: look at how they greeted the Algerian team arriving back at the DoubleTree in Lawrence, Kansas

on top of the US government conspiring against the team, and FIFA's bad format, and the team being literally the last team out of the knockout rounds .... .... .... they were like one combined foot from winning two games and finishing on top of their group

Completely silly game. Iran out, having gone through the group unbeaten and being a toenail’s width away from beating Egypt and after facing the harshest conditions I can’t recall any World Cup team having to endure in recent memory. One of the story’s of the 2026 World Cup is over

BUT NO Madness. Wow. 3-3. Austria, Algeria in. Iran out.

HAHAHAHA ARE YOU SERIOUS NO FUCKING WAY

AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED HOLY SHIT ALGERIA !!!! IRAN !!!!!!!!!

Messi is 39 and belongs to Bluesky now

Fanon:

easily funniest goal of the tournament 1. corner flag saves ball from going out of bounds 2. surprised austrian defender full on leg tackles algerian guy 3. other algerian guy boots it into a defender’s nuts 4. algerian guy dekes out two other defenders, spectacular finish

Algeria fans made a "Thank You Lawrence" banner for their last group game. Rock Chalk Algeria

Absolute scenes (lines for light rail) in downtown Seattle—my train got into King St station an hour after the match ended, but I’m walking home (or at least across downtown until I find a normal bus). The vibes were absolutely beautiful despite the inconvenience.

Happy #FieldworkFriday and Happy Pride from PNSN! Here are a few of our favorite rainbows spotted by our crews and cameras from field work across Washington and Oregon. Tune in tonight for more rainbows as we share seismic data from the #WorldCup2026 Pride match at Seattle Stadium.

Our rainbow seismograms for the Egypt vs Iran Pride Match at Seattle Stadium are streaming live on the PNSN website here: pnsn.org/experiment/2... #SportsSeismology #WorldCup2026 #FIFAWorldCup

and a distinct chunk of the North Atlantic seaboard

THE UNDEFEATED CAPE VERDEANS ADVANCE AHEAD OF URUGUAY

Congrats to Cape Verde, the most powerful 0-3-0 World Cup team of all time

make that a consolation victory! I said “futile redemption arc” in the group chat an hour ago and here we are

holy shit!!!

look I’m just glad Türkiye get to go home with a couple of goals and a consolation draw (probably)

Venezuela'da 7.2 ve 7.5 büyüklüğünde depremler: En az 32 kişi yaşamını yitirdi, 700'den fazla kişi yaralandı www.birgun.net/haber/venezu...

from NYT reporting it does sound like State is at least organizing to send USAR team(s)

Seattle was delightful today—ran into a big group of Qatari fans who has clearly exchanged some flags and jerseys with the Bosnians at Capitol Hill station earlier

another moment what it’s just gutting to contemplate the damage done by DOGE and company—no OFDA, DARTs, etc. Is there even any mechanism to mobilize US task force 1 or 2 (the heavy urban search and rescue teams from Fairfax and LA Counties) right now?

Cheryl is exactly right. In the past, we would be ready.USAID’s foreign disaster go-team would be on the way. State Ops would stand up a task force to liaise with the embassy,track down US citizens, and coordinate aid. SOUTHCOM would be on standby. That’s just to start. Now? Who the hell knows.

⚒️ 🧪 A catastrophic earthquake just struck northern Venezuela. Large buildings have collapsed, and the USGS PAGER is forecasting thousands of fatalities. Our colleague in Caracas, Dr. Frank Audemard, has shared with us what the earthquake felt like and footage from the region. Here’s what we know.
