Japan island residents sleepless after experiencing 900 earthquakes in two weeks

  • My favorite part is how people in the public eye who present end-of-days predictions always have some weird excuse after the fact. As was beautifully parodied in Parks and Rec.

    In this case there have been impersonators, and the original author has no connection to a lot of the newer stuff. She is not trying to cash in or play things up, which is a wonderful contrast to a lot of people who claim to be doomsday predictors.

    • Japan island residents sleepless after experiencing 900 earthquakes in two weeks

  • A 1999 comic book by manga artist Ryo Tatsuki has been fuelling these rumours. In a new edition released in 2021, she claimed the next big earthquake would strike on 5 July this year.

    It's called "The Future I Saw", with diary entries and is "based on a dream". One of the covers had a big disaster happening in 2011. That's the year Fukushima was hit with a tsunami.

    A lot of superstition has arisen around it, causing tourism to drop off recently. And flights from Hong Kong to Japan have been massively reduced, and one airline even halted their flights there as of a week ago.

    • Israel issues Tehran evacuation order as Iran threatens to leave nuclear weapons treaty

  • Yeah, he seems narcissistic enough that he really doesn't think there would be consequences.

    Hopefully there are other people around him who doesn't want the rest of the world aiming everything they have at them.

    • Russia offers political asylum to Elon Musk over Trump feud

  • I seriously applaud whoever managed to push that through.

    I don't support anything they do, but that is top tier comedy.

    • Finnish Defence Ministry denies Israeli citizen's purchase of petrol station

  • Long story short: The Finnish defence ministry run background checks on anyone from outside the EU and EEA if they're trying to buy property. They regularly block Russians from buying properties. And this was suspected as another attempt, through a proxy.

    The buyer didn't speak Finnish or English, has basically no connection to Finland, inconsistent buisness plan, has potential connections to Russia and wanted to buy a petrol station in eastern Finland, in an area that's about to get a new NATO base.

    • Most people across 24 surveyed countries have negative views of Israel and Netanyahu

  • Meanwhile, most international media:

    Why do you hate people only because of their religion/ethinicity!?!!?!!=)!)=!(/GCUV/UO&Vuvfb38hndjdndnds

    • Inside the Creepy, Surprisingly Routine Business of Animal Cloning

  • He's not going to announce that he had backup organs made for himself.

    • Lion kills businessman at luxury safari lodge in Namibia after he stepped out of tent to use toilet

  • Why are all the comments defending him having money? The article has nothing about that, and the "luxury" part of the article isn't about his wealth. It's about a fancy resort not being secure. And "safari lodge" does not mean "hunting lodge"

    Are there tons of hidden comments I'm missing? Are people preemptively assuming comments will complain? Or is everyone's reading comprehension that bad?

    • 'Russian bombers are burning en masse' — Ukraine's SBU drones hit 'more than 40' aircraft in mass attack, source claims

  • Russia uses Tu-95's to launch cruise missiles. This is from late March:

    It was later revealed that 11 Tu-95MS bombers fired 29 cruise missiles of the Kh-101/Kh-555 type at Ukraine.

    • Thousands of Israelis join violent, racist march through Jerusalem’s Muslim quarter

  • This is incredible. How do hate-filled people like these sleep at night?

    The same way most hateful people do: They tell themselves over and over that "everyone" agrees with them.
