How major is major? I knew there was an earthquake, my Facebook notifications this morning included "[friend in Chile] has been marked safe in the Chile Earthquake", but—I should go an actual news site, shouldn't I.
Yeah, I went to theguardian.com. I deliberately don't usually read news
sites, it's generally sad-making, but some things I shouldn't be learning
about from happening to read a comment on Dreamwidth.
