What made the deadly Venezuelan earthquakes different
It appears the two big earthquakes in Venezuela that occurred in rapid succession may have involved two separate fault lines. Several faults intersect in this tectonically complex region.

When Cascadia Gives Way, the San Andreas Sometimes Follows - Eos
Roughly half of the earthquakes that occurred along the southern Cascadia subduction zone over the past 3,000 years were temporally associated with earthquakes along the northern San Andreas fault.

Donald Trump. An Apology. The new Private Eye is out now
A photo of the front cover of issue 1641 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "ON SHELVES NOW!" The headline reads "DONALD TRUMP: AN APOLOGY." The cover features a mock statement claiming that, in contrast to past descriptions of Trump as "a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby," the magazine now recognises him as "a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, and the saviour of the Western world." The parody humorously describes him as "slim, handsome, and young," concluding with a note that "this statement has not been fact-checked."

Another hard lesson... This 7.3 earthquake in Vanuatu caused partial collapse of the US embassy.  Unclear how many were lost at this point.  A better plan based on knowledge of the building may be to evacuate on first warning if you are on a bottom floor. See: temblor.net/earthquake-i...
