Fascinating that experts in extremism (which Marc is, btw) now see X as their core platform for research. (For over a decade, you had to delve into small telegram groups and other networks to track what extremists were saying.)

Just as a refresher since I haven’t been active here: I’m Osariik and I’m into rocks/geology, volcanoes, rock music, metal/metalcore, playing cricket, video games and pretty much anything else cool that I see.

Watching the live webcam feed www.youtube.com/live/kXD4A9u... of the current Icelandic eruption. Unfortunately, it appears that this eruption will have much more of an impact on the local population than the previous one, with the lava crossing the protective berm that was built earlier. 🧪⚒️

If a strategy game has volcanoes in it, I'm about 470% more likely to purchase that game; closer to 4090% more likely if the volcanoes actually impact the game.

My favourite Unicode character is the Cyrillic character ꙮ, the multiocular O, which is literally only used in one phrase in one manuscript in the Old Church Slavonic language from the 15th century: "серафими многоꙮчитїй", which means "many-eyed seraphim".

Read this as: DON'T rush to Iceland to see this, even if you're a scientist. The starts of eruptive crises are chaotic & those in charge of protecting people don't need tourists taking resources from locals. People's homes and livelihoods are under threat, so have some humanity & watch a livestream.

Hey, I know this is an old post but I saw it and thought I'd answer. Hoogerbeets is a fraud. None of his methods are based on science, and the reason why he gets so many correct predictions is the sheer number of predictions he puts out. He is not to be trusted.

🧪 ⚒️ A M5.8 earthquake occurred a few hours ago southeast of Mexico City. Not much damage, but interesting tectonics: the subducting slab is flat to the SW and bends down steeply to the NE. That bending seems to be capable of causing large, sometimes damaging earthquakes. Read more on our blog!

This is probably my all-time favourite album art. I love the album itself too and the band is one of my favourites, they mean everything to me, but I just absolutely LOVE the album cover. It's just so pretty and well-designed. I'm somewhat planning on getting part of it as a tattoo at some point.
The album cover for Future Fire by Stickup Kid. It shows a comic-style drawing off a boy on a hill facing away from the viewer, looking out over a city that rises from a sea of clouds at night. A blimp in the distance is labelled with "WASTED" (the name of one of the songs on the album). Giant beams of light aimed upwards from the ground in the image aim into the starry sky to where the band's name is written in bright yellow.

The Indonesian island of Java has many volcanoes and a long history with them. The reason for its extremely high population (almost 152 million) is because of the fertile volcanic soil. The word "lahar", which refers to a type of volcanic mudflow, originates from the Javanese language.

The world's highest-elevation active volcano, Ojos del Salado, has two primary peaks. One is called the Chilean peak and the other the Argentine peak, though both peaks are actually on the international border—the Chilean one is simply more easily accessed from Chile and otherwise for the Argentine.

Mount Wrangell in Alaska is the largest American volcano by volume outside of Hawaii. A major active shield volcano, it has two names in the local Ahtna language: K’ełt’aeni when not erupting ("the one that controls the weather") and Uk'ełedi when erupting ("the one with smoke on it").

A period that some historians refer to as possibly the worst time to be alive, the decades following 536 CE (particularly 536 itself), was caused by a volcanic winter generated by a series of major eruptions around the world. Only one of the initial responsible volcanoes is known (Mono Craters).
