American Samoa’s Sinking Land Speeds Up Sea Level Rise - Eos

In American Samoa, the sea is rising 4 times faster than the global average. And an ongoing project has shown that land subsidence is to blame: The crust is relaxing after an earthquake and tsunami in 2009, compounding the effects of climate change.

my dad is looking for more historical cdramas to watch, and I told him I'd see if I could find some recs for him.

he's looking for cdramas that are available to watch free online (eg on viki), he prefers historicals, he enjoys some fighting, and previous shows he's enjoyed include The Untamed, Nirvana in Fire, Imperial Coroner, and Who Rules the World.

For those of you who watch more tv than me, what would you suggest?

When we posted about "Jaws" yesterday, it prompted a discussion in the comments about movie adaptations that were superior to the books — Stephen King's "The Shawshank Redemption" and Robert Nathan's "The Bishop's Wife" came up, with @PeteZ describing the latter as "a slog that I DNF." TV Guide has compiled this list of book-to-screen adaptations for 2024, including "Dune Part Two" and "Wicked." Tell us in the comments if you're looking forward to any of these — or if there's a movie you think was remarkably better than the book.

I've been on the road this week so haven't been able to jump on to much. Here's a quick link to Viviane Chidid, one of the pop Queens of Senegal, and sister-in-law to Youssou N'Dour. In the video she starts off in more village type attire with an elaborate headdress that looks fulani. It has coins and amber pieces embedded. She then moves to more modern attire. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/aIsaaSHhdXY Ed: sp

Robbie Robertson's First Nation / #SixNations heritage (#Cayuga, #Mohawk). Known for his songwriting and work with #TheBand, guitarist. Favorite movie "The Last Waltz", I went especially to the theater when it premiered to see it. He created more #indigenous inspired music later in his career. #RIP #RobbieRobertson #Indigenous

A love letter to Auckland’s small but mighty inner-city Pasifika community

Still Here is the latest all-female Pasifika production which celebrates the small but mighty #Pasifika community of inner-city #Auckland who have remained despite decades of rampant gentrification.

With four episodes lasting 15-20mins long, Still Here weaves intergenerational stories of Pasifika families, community, and culture dispelling the myth that “all the Islanders have left”.

I genuinely believe if "Twitter Blue" had just been the collection of power user features, and had nothing to do with checkmarks or badges, and the verification system had been left completely alone, he'd have far more Blue subscriptions.

Look at the feature list:

• Tweet edit
• Longform tweets
• Tweet formatting
• Longer, higher-resolution videos

These are the features that Twitter users have been begging for for a decade. This was a layup.

But instead he slammed his penis in a car door.

if someone is being impersonated on the #fediverse how do they find out?

sure you can search for user names, but doesn't help with impersonation on defederated servers right?

any way to search the whole thing or have all the projects aiming to do that stopped because of backlash @ the idea of a fediverse-wide search function?

The scariest thing about finishing a #KDrama and #CDrama is ... choosing the next one.
Currently deciding between

• Love to Hate You
• My Sassy Princess
• The Killer is also Romantic

Love to Hate You is winning because of the 120% bitchy move the female lead did to the male lead at the end of episode 1. LOL
