Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.

I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

When Alaska flight 1282 blew open, a mom went into ‘go mode’ to protect her son (www.seattletimes.com)

Faye said she had no intention of speaking to the media until she saw the initial statements from Alaska in the aftermath of the accident, which emphasized that there were only minor injuries and to her seemed to diminish the severity of what had happened....

Yes. Because people go where other people are. Until people start coalescing on a specific site, Twitter is still going to be relevant.

Thing is, it probably won’t. MySpace is still around. LiveJournal is still around. Big social media platforms don’t tend to stop existing. But they do stop being culturally and socially relevant, and that’s what I hope comes sooner rather than later to Twitter: irrelevancy.

Ben-Gvir: 'Voluntary' transfer of Gazans is the solution, Israelis should resettle Strip (www.haaretz.com)

Israel's far-right minister claimed the idea is supported by GOP candidate Nikki Haley, and said he will 'try to convince' other government members to support such a measure. This comes days before the ICJ is due to hear South Africa's petition alleging Israel is behind forced displacement of Gazans

According to some of the residents on TikTok, none of them received the notifications that supposedly went out in October.

Which means this must’ve been really bad for it to stand out so much.

This is based on a Wall Street Journal report (which I didn’t link because it’s paywalled), so your strange anger at BI is a wee bit misplaced.

@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

So is the Wall Street Journal also “Daily Mail level tripe”? Because they are the Business Insider’s source for the story.

Did you just miss the reply to you where I said point blank I linked to BI instead of WSJ because of a paywall, or naw?

Twitter did eventually get its shit together and lift the API limits on NERV’s accounts, but people on JP Twitter were furious, and “Elon” in Japanese (イーロン) was trending, with people basically cussing him out for effing up Twitter by limiting NERV and getting rid of the chronological timeline. Folks were also upset at all the “reply zombies” (blue check bot accounts) commenting complete garbage like “nice” and “happy new year” in posts about the earthquake.

As for misinformation, the evening of the quake “人工地震” (manmade earthquake) was trending on Twitter, and NHK news yesterday actually had a segment on last night explaining that no, the quake was not manmade, and that misinformation was being spread on Twitter.

The plane hit a Japan Coast Guard plane on landing. Five of the six crew members of the JCG plane are missing.

Edit: now the news is saying two are dead, and the captain is in critical condition.

Oh, it very much is.

And in case the picture doesn’t show, here it is.

I live in western Japan, and felt this earthquake even here - it lasted as long as the 311 Tohoku quake, and an NHK news announcer was screaming for people in the Noto area to flee to higher ground because of the tsunami.

My family’s all in the US, so they’re all fine, but worried about me over here.

I’m watching the TV now just feeling gutted at some of the images.

If the picture doesn’t show up, it’s also here.

The news (I’m watching TV now) is still warning people to evacuate, showing it in big letters and with exclamation points, and in English along with Japanese, so the threat isn’t over yet.

There was literally a Jp magnitude 5 aftershock not 5 minutes ago, and the news is still blasting “evacuate” messages on the screen, so…

I’m lucky, I’m far enough away that it was only about a Jp 4 here, but over 30,000 homes are without power in winter and at least one major cellular phone company is reporting they’re down in Ishikawa. It’s not fine at all.
