1. Bought #ApothecaryDiaries Xiaolan's Story. Read it while waiting for today's choir. It is darker than the main story, but still very interesting.
2. Today's choir. We finished it with going outside, in front of a nearby church, and singing/training one of Christmas songs we're preparing. It was quite fun.
3. Went to the hairdresser and got my hair shortened. It's so light and no hair is falling into my eyes.

CoSeismic Shallow Landslide Distributions Reveal Patterns Of Regolith Thickness In High Mountains

H/T @tristram Hales | Professor of Environmental Hazards
“[This paper] paper seeks to develop a shallow earthquake-triggered landslide model. It has really pushed [the H/T’s] thinking around the role of regolith in controlling landsliding in high mountains…”
--
“... PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Large earthquakes can trigger thousands of landslides, moving regolith (the loose soil and weathered rock that mantles hillslopes) into rivers and valleys. Predicting where these landslides occur is difficult because regolith thickness varies across mountain landscapes and is rarely measured directly. [The authors] developed a new model, ShallowLandslider, that combines slope-stability physics with statistical methods to simulate populations of earthquake-triggered shallow landslides. [They] tested the model in two regions affected by the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal and compared simulated landslides with a mapped inventory. The[ir] model performed best when it included spatial variations in regolith thickness. In the steep, high-relief landscape, landslide occurrence was reproduced most successfully when regolith thickness decreased with elevation. In the lower-relief landscape, the best results occurred when thicker regolith was concentrated in convergent hollows where sediment accumulates. The simulations also matched observations most closely for cohesion values typical of shallow colluvium, supporting the interpretation that most Gorkha landslides were shallow, regolith-sourced failures. These results show that coseismic landslide patterns depend not only on ground shaking and slope steepness, but also on how regolith is organized across the landscape. Landslide inventories can help evaluate competing hypotheses of regolith distribution where direct observations are sparse…”

🌏 Pacific & Indian Ocean: New research shows that restoring native vegetation, seabird populations, and coral ecosystems helps atoll islands actually keep pace with rising seas.
🪶 Seabirds act as ecosystem engineers. Their nutrient‑rich guano fuels coral growth and strengthens native plants, while reef organisms build new land material that stabilizes shorelines.
🤝 Local communities across Seychelles, Chagos, and Tetiaroa collaborated with researchers, grounding the work in Indigenous ecological knowledge and long‑standing cultural ties to the islands.
📈 Restored ecosystems reduce flood and fire hazards and boost natural carbon storage, lowering climate‑related costs for small island communities.
🌺 Protecting atolls also preserves cultural heritage, community identity, and the deep relationship between island peoples and their ecosystems.

Mesquite Country
Jack Ratliff’s Mesquite Country is a memoir of growing up in West Texas, practicing law in El Paso, and finding new purposes in teaching and public service. Organized as a series of recollections and character sketches, it presents a life shaped by family businesses, local customs, professional friendships, and the demands of conscience. Ratliff writes with the ease of an experienced storyteller who knows how much a revealing exchange can convey. The book’s appeal comes from its combination of regional specificity and thoughtful attention to the choices people make within their communities.
The childhood chapters establish Sonora through its everyday gathering places: the dry goods store, drugstore, pool hall, playing fields, and funeral home. Ratliff has a particularly good memory for physical surroundings, including the smell of new denim and the cool, shaded refuge of a poolroom in midsummer. His account of local nicknames captures both the community’s familiarity and its methods of enforcing social equality. “It’s hard to be pompous when your name is Pootie,” he observes. Such lines demonstrate his economical humor, while his willingness to revisit youthful embarrassment and foolishness gives the narrative an approachable, candid voice.
Family relationships supply much of the memoir’s emotional and ethical substance. Ratliff’s father emerges through work, conversation, and the patient rituals of teaching his sons baseball. Affection is expressed in practical acts, and lessons about honesty acquire weight through circumstances that test them. Ratliff also examines the racial divisions, expectations of masculinity, and limits placed on women’s ambitions in the world of his youth. These passages benefit from his readiness to acknowledge his own participation in local prejudices and question his earlier assumptions. His retrospective perspective adds depth to the book’s warmth by showing how belonging can shape both opportunity and judgment.
The courtroom chapters carry those concerns into a profession where credibility, preparation, and persuasion have immediate consequences. Lawyers, judges, clients, and jurors receive sharply individualized portraits, and Ratliff explains legal procedures through the practical problems they create. His appreciation for a mentor’s commitment “to work at being both effective and honorable” identifies a central standard against which professional conduct is measured. He’s especially engaging when describing the relationship between strategy and human perception. Some extended accounts of litigation slow the pace, and the accumulation of names occasionally demands extra attention. Still, the procedural detail gives readers a substantial understanding of the work and its ethical pressures.
The later sections broaden the memoir through university life, efforts to secure legal representation for Guantanamo detainees, and observations from a Hill Country ranch. Their changes in tone reflect Ratliff’s range, from institutional frustration to affectionate animal comedy. A concluding fictional story extends his interest in vernacular speech, colorful personalities, and the hazards of misplaced confidence. Across these different settings, the book maintains a recognizable voice: observant, amused, and prepared to reconsider its narrator’s judgments. Mesquite Country will appeal to readers of regional memoir and accounts of legal practice, offering memorable company and a sustained examination of how fairness is learned and exercised.

CW: This article discusses a maritime disaster, geopolitical tensions and misleading AI-generated footage. No graphic content is intended.
iPhones, Perfume and a Sunken Ship: The Strait of Hormuz Viral Video That Fooled Millions
Viral footage claimed to show people recovering iPhones and luxury perfumes after a shipwreck near the Strait of Hormuz. Fact-checkers identified key videos as AI-generated.Dear Cherubs, the internet has apparently discovered a new form of treasure hunting: wait for a cargo ship to sink, then help yourself to floating iPhones and luxury perfumes. There is just one small problem with this spectacular maritime bargain: while a real ship did sink near the Strait of Hormuz, fact-checkers have found that some of the viral footage showing people collecting the expensive goods was AI-generated.
The story is a perfect cocktail of geopolitical tension, consumer temptation and social media doing what it does best: turning an alarming real-world event into an unbelievable spectacle.
A REAL SHIP, A VERY REAL CRISIS
According to reporting by The Associated Press and The Guardian, the Singapore-flagged container ship GFS Pride sank near the Strait of Hormuz on 14 October 2026, amid escalating attacks on commercial shipping in the region.
The cause remains contested. Iranian authorities said the vessel struck a naval mine after allegedly taking an unauthorised route. Other maritime reporting described the ship as having been struck by a projectile. The precise circumstances should therefore be treated with caution rather than settled as fact.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most strategically important maritime chokepoints, connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman. Disruption there can affect shipping, energy markets and international trade. In other words, this is not exactly an ideal location for an impromptu shopping trip.
And then came the videos.
THE IPHONE HAUL THAT WASN’T
Clips spread across social media purporting to show people gathering iPhone boxes and luxury perfumes from the sea after the ship sank. Some posts presented the scenes as Iranian fishermen salvaging valuable cargo, while others encouraged viewers to believe that a floating Apple Store had suddenly appeared in the Gulf.
The reality is rather less cinematic.
Al Jazeera’s open-source investigation, published on 17 October, traced several viral clips to an Instagram account called Nativora, which describes its output as fictional, AI-generated cinematic content. The investigation concluded that the videos claiming to show people collecting iPhones and perfumes after the shipwreck were fabricated.
Other fact-checking reports reached similar conclusions about footage showing people collecting iPhone boxes on a beach. Some clips contained visual inconsistencies, while technical analysis also suggested AI generation.
That distinction matters. The sinking was real; the viral scenes used to illustrate the supposed treasure haul were not reliable evidence of what happened. Nor has the ship’s cargo manifest established that the vessel was carrying the specific haul of new iPhones and luxury perfumes featured in the videos.
The distinction is important because a video can look convincing without being authentic. In this case, Al Jazeera reported that the clips collectively attracted around 80 million views. That is an impressive audience for fiction, particularly when the plot involves a maritime disaster and suspiciously convenient luxury shopping.
The lesson is not that every image of floating cargo is fake. It is that footage circulating online needs independent verification before it can be treated as evidence. A real disaster does not automatically make every video attached to it real.
THE INTERNET’S NEW TREASURE MAP
Why do these clips travel so far? Because they combine three ingredients social media loves: expensive products, dramatic events and the possibility of getting something valuable for nothing. Add a geopolitical crisis, and suddenly a dubious video becomes a ready-made narrative about punishment, profiteering or ordinary people getting lucky.
But a shipwreck is not a floating discount outlet. Recovering cargo from the sea can involve serious hazards, and ownership of salvaged goods is not automatically transferred to whoever reaches them first. The exact legal position depends on the circumstances and applicable maritime law.
For readers trying to separate fact from fiction, compare viral footage with reputable reporting, check whether the original creator identifies it as AI-generated, and look for independent confirmation of the specific details. As a general rule, if a video appears almost tailor-made to confirm someone’s political argument, a little scepticism is healthy.

The bottom line, Cherubs? The ship sank, the regional tensions are real, and the videos of people collecting iPhones and perfumes have been exposed as fabricated in key examples. Until credible evidence emerges, treat the supposed luxury haul as internet fiction rather than breaking news.
