@RELEVANT I just realized the joy of having two @RELEVANTpodcast episodes per week now means we will get 2x the @jessecarey quips at the end of the Year In Review episode! 😃🙌

¿Qué pasó en Nepal?

Se desprendió un glaciar que generó un temblor de magnitud 5.2 y terminó en una avalancha de agua que nadie vio venir (aunque aún se investiga). Un sismo sacudió la frontera entre Nepal y el Tíbet.

Se presume que un bloque enorme de hielo de unos 600 metros de ancho, se desprendió de un glaciar a más de 5.200 metros de altura. El bloque cayó casi un kilómetro en vertical, se estrelló contra el fondo del valle y se pulverizó. Fue tan fuerte el desprendimiento que se generó un sismo. En segundos, hielo, roca y agua se convirtieron en una masa letal que bajó por el cauce del río Lhende Khola.

Esa masa tapó el río. El agua se acumuló detrás del bloqueo, y cuando cedió, se liberó de golpe. Una pared de lodo, escombros y agua se lanzó valle abajo arrasando todo a su paso: pueblos, puentes, carreteras, centrales hidroeléctricas y todo lo que encontró en el camino. En cuestión de minutos, aldeas del distrito de Rasuwa (Nepal) y el puesto fronterizo de Gyirong (Tíbet) quedaron sepultados.

No había llovido fuerte en Nepal. Nadie esperaba una inundación así. El saldo hasta ahora: al menos 95 muertos confirmados en Nepal, cientos de desaparecidos (muchos de ellos turistas y peregrinos que iban al Monte Kailash) y también víctimas del lado chino.

Las imágenes son brutales: un río marrón que se traga casas enteras en segundos. Las autoridades advierten que todavía puede haber otra crecida, porque parte del material sigue bloqueando aguas arriba. 👇

Meta's new protections for children are an important step forward. Now it's time for @TikTok, @Google, @Snapchat, and @Apple to step up, empower parents, and make child safety a priority across their platforms. Our kids deserve better. #LetParentsParent

A brain expert just said what no one wants to hear about screen learning.🤯

@fousheefornc Over 50,000 unidentified children are waiting for rescue. 😰 Urge Congress to move on the **Renewed Hope Act** to rescue children seen in abuse images. These children cannot wait!!!

Hey @ChickfilA, when will we be able to buy jalapeño salsa in a jar at the store? It’s so delicious!!

Sorry @rosebowlgame Parade… idk who Bishop Briggs is, but @marcmartel is who you needed singing “We Will Rock You”…

@Venmo Pretty disappointed that NOWHERE on your Venmo Teen signup page do you point out that the teen has to have their own smartphone w/ an active number. Plenty of teens start out w/ only an Apple Watch! Why do you not have an app for Apple Watch yet? They can pay w/ 🍎 Wallet!

. @RDUAirport Don’t you think it’s time to share some of the love you give to Terminal 2 w/ Terminal 1? The water bottle refill station just after security in the SW terminal is mind-bogglingly outdated. It’s too short, the button is broken and hurts, and it should be touchless!

@bariweiss @DrCaseysKitchen @Levels Just finished listening to this eye-opening segment and really enjoyed it, but found it hilariously ironic that the ad featured at the end of this anti-processed-food episode was for @McDonalds!!! 😂😂😂

@MIX1015WRALFM 😍LOVE that you added @CornerstoneHD2 Christmas songs back into the lineup on Sunday mornings! 😃 Would love to hear some of them integrated ALL the time, but still so excited to hear more variety and have @Jamizondo still on the air during Christmas! 🙌 🎄

@philvischer Is this a typo? Should it have said First Corinthians?

I truly am curious to hear perspectives from #greekorthodox!

[Holly Walden Ross @goldentwig]

@MichaelHyatt Have you watched @thechosentv? I would be curious to hear your perception of it as a Greek Orthodox. I’m having trouble convincing another Orthodox friend to check it out.
