(1) I will look into the details of this earthquake, since depth and location affect how much damage it did.

The last thing the starving, oppressed people of Venezuela need is a major earthquake.
(2) The first reports of an earthquake's magnitude always gets downgraded about 15-20 minutes later. Currently this one looks to be about 6.8.

Crucially, it's quite deep, at 76 miles (123km).

The USGS website model estimates 10-100 deaths & USD $10 million to $100 million.
(3) If this had been a shallow earthquake, the carnage would be massive. Thankfully it was deep.

There will be many aftershocks. People will be very afraid.

Here's the USGS impact modelling:

(4) Another good source of technical info and media reporting on the Venezuela earthquake:

Thread: Here is what makes me tick.

The issue is both political and personal. I survived a series of events over several decades and am now in a position to offer insights to others. The same healing process is directly relevant to world politics, too.

The above YouTube link is to the start of a 14 video playlist on the channel of the highly experienced Texan psychotherapist Les Carter, PhD.

Twitter:
The market has really taken off in recent years for therapists and others offering guidance through YouTube on surviving the behavior of narcissists.

There are many I'd recommend but Dr Carter is the one I most value at the moment.

Thread: Updates on the marvelous #PlatinumJubilee year of my head of state, HM the Queen.

I've written many threads in recent years about the shenanigans of certain recalcitrant family members. This time I bring concerning news of potential exposure to Covid.😟
Obviously I send get well soon wishes for Charles (and Camilla, who is likely to also test positive.)

I'm fiercely loyal the Queen, and Charles, and William. And their consorts were and are incredible, loved, and respected people too.
That color photo above is recent and was released to mark the anniversary of 70 years on the throne, on February 6 this year.

HM is thriving like never before, and she turns 96 on April 21, 2022. The Queen's Birthday celebrations in June each year are timed for summer.

This is true. But also, Ivanka Trump has broken the law of her own accord, multiple times. Trying to count them all would be a huge task.

On 1/6, failing to raise the alarm with any of the LEOs or Pentagon liaison personnel inside the WH is among the worst.

No impunity!
If I know someone has committed or is committing a crime, and I choose asking them nicely not to, instead of reporting it to law enforcement, I would be complicit in that crime.

Yet this is the narrative Ivanka Trump is trying to sell people. That she did all she could.
Everyone in the administration who had knowledge of what the defeated former president planned and carried out that day had a duty to report it *at the time* and to *fully* and voluntarily cooperate with any and all law enforcement and Congressional investigative bodies.

Thread: I find this hilarious on many levels. TFG is so clueless about business and politics that he thought tearing up a piece of paper at his desk would keep said paper out of the the National Archives, the courtroom, and the public domain.🤣

edition.cnn.com/2022/01/31/pol…
It's not all that different from Nixon choosing to record his own conversations as some kind of insurance policy then being forced to hand them to investigators. He even had his secretary claim she accidentally recorded over certain key parts.

Criminals are DUMB.
I've seen people in places I've worked pointlessly tear up paper before putting it in the bin under their desk. It was a sign not to trust them with anything important. My own shredding went through the shredder by my own hand.

Thread: Whoopi Goldberg's lack of education concerning racism

The thing that bothers me the most about her many attempts at clarifying what she said, is that her attitude is just to accept what her critics have said that "corrects" her view.

That is so intellectually lazy.
I think Whoopi Goldberg said this to get the criticism to stop.

What we actually want her to do is spend at least 100 hours quietly studying the facts about the Holocaust and at least 100 hours quietly studying current academic definitions of racism in general.
I spent way more than that number of hours studying these topics in recent years. My reason was so that I could *understand* the issues more deeply & be able to have more informed independent thinking about them.

I'd wager many have done the same in the #BlackLivesMatter era.

Thread: Ukraine, Jan 26, 2022

Just felt like sharing my thoughts on this buffer zone country that we (NATO and friends) need to keep on our side, against Putinism.

EIGHT years after losing a chunk of itself to Putin's Russia, and untold lives.
In the early stages of this (so far) 8 years long conflict, I was pissed af about Putin's aggression in Ukraine, and the apparent inability to stop it and restore lawful boundaries.

Like probably most of us in NATO-world, I then drifted on to following other global issues.
In 2016 I wondered what all the fuss over Putin was about. I had, unwittingly, allowed a brainwashing campaign to affect me. At some time in 2017 I awoke from that nightmare and realized he's not some teddy bear figure we can ignore. Then in 2018 the Skripals were poisoned.
