Quake in Papua New Guinea detected at School of GeoSciences @ University of Edinburgh @EdinbrughUni on both gravity meter and Raspberry Shake Raspberry Shake Earthquake Channel . Sufficiently far offshore to not be a problem for anyone according to USGS (see earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ev…). (Follow me on Bluesky for more.)
Well, I am looking at Twitter for the first time in ages. But only because I am kicking my heels at Edinburgh Waverley while National Rail use Twitter to update us on the #Dunbar incident.
Clear detection of yesterday's quake in Alaska on the Raspberry Shake Raspberry Shake Earthquake Channel and on the gravity meter at School of GeoSciences @ University of Edinburgh The University of Edinburgh (BTW it is past time that all tagged here moved to the place named after Rayleigh Scattering.)
Rare visit over here to post something else. BBC BBC Radio 4 BBC Radio 4 Today taking a deep breath before saying "persistent knobheadery" regarding rebel The Labour Party MPs was the funniest bit of radio of the year so far. (Time for all tagged here to move to Bluesky, BTW)
This morning's quake in the Drake Passage as detected in #Edinburgh on both the gravity meter and the Raspberry Shake Raspberry Shake Earthquake Channel . (For more content from me, same name at the place named after the Man City-coloured thing above your head.)
Nice to hear Jonathan Bamber 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪🇺🇦 on BBC Radio 4 Today BBC Radio 4 News this morning, breathing fire at Trump for his attacks on NASA Earth NASA . Sadly, by the time Trump is no longer president I suspect that it will be too late to repair the damage done.

Now, here is something that the BBC should be reporting on. (BBC Breaking News BBC Radio 4 #wato BBC Radio 4 PM ) (Also, when are the BBC going to set up accounts on BlueSky so that I don't have to visit this alt-right sewer to tweet them?)
Fully in support of this from the Liberal Democrats Paul Kohler🔶MP for Wimbledon . (A fellow alumnus of Jesus College , as it happens.) Nice to hear other parties getting behind it at last.
Busy day for earthquakes yesterday according to the gravity meter at School of GeoSciences @ University of Edinburgh : two in the Philippines and one in the Drake Passage. The Drake Passage quake was also picked up by the Raspberry Shake Raspberry Shake Earthquake Channel . #geophysics #seismology
