Happy holidays, fediverse!

I got you a megathrust earthquake, soil liquefaction, spine-tingling papers about the way our networks confound knowledge, and a PDF in a pear tree. It's my wrap on a year of trying to make sense of how we make sense of what's happening to us.

Landslide; a ghost story

On March 27, 1964, a converted liberty ship named the SS Chena brought a shipment of supplies to the port of Valdez, Alaska. Valdez, which I need you to know is pronounced “valDEEZ,” sits at the end of a fjord—a narrow inlet carved by a glacier.

@kissane Wonderful article, thank you so much for writing and sharing it. BTW, you're missing a word in this sentence: Not because the circumstances of megathrust earthquakes in fjords are literally the same as the societal problem of collective derangement, but because it gives me new ways to take problem apart and see how the pieces interact.

@kissane I completely understand. I would suggest going back and fixing the obvious errors.
