It's friday, the day when i scour the internet to find out if there are any updates on the release of Shorsey Season 5. Treat to self. Disappointment.

Thank you so much for trying. I'm SURE I saw one from the contemporary era but I can't find it anywhere. Did my imagination backfill this?

Christie Rowe @keepitrheol.bsky.social · Aug 29

Oh thanks for checking, I didn't even think of that

Bless you, citizen of Winnemucca, who filed the sole "Did You Feel It" response to the earthquake of 2 hrs ago

Screen grab of the USGS "Did You Feel It" page for a magnitude 3.8 earthquake that occurred on 8/27/2025 at 02:17:48 (UTC). The page shows that one person in Winnemucca completed the "Did You Feel It" survey and contributed to the USGS shake map.

i made a weird looking one in chatGPT (well labeled as such) to stand in for the cartoon I couldn't find

Sorry for never evver posting here, but does anyone know where to find a cartoon depicting continents breaking through oceanic crust like an icebreaker? I believe I have seen one that dates from an argument against continental drift but i cannot seem to locate this on the entire internet

The preservation of open space and public lands for future generations is among the most fundamental promises of America and is the very purpose of having a government: to protect for all what would be destroyed by short term profit-seeking, so we all may enjoy the much greater long-term benefits.

haven't read the paper yet but the title is certainly refreshing:

if anyone happens to read a truly terrible article in a famously factually-challenged UK news rag today that relates to earthquakes in Nevada, please ignore it. The headline is wackadoodle and the article makes no sense. People behind this kind of drivel should be ashamed of themselves.

these numbers include indirect costs? so if indirect costs are reduced as a percentage, the success rate will not scale exactly with the funding cut here? just checking that i understand what this means

Perhaps leaving scholarly communication in the hands of researchers would be a better use of research funds

The presidents of 200 US colleges declare:

"As leaders of America’s colleges, universities, and scholarly societies, we speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education."

Good!

The wind channeled between the casino hotels downtown could definitely knock a rider off a bike! Google tells me Lemond is from the Washoe Valley so he ought to know
