Interesting video filmed either by Darth Vader or by someone who has just run to the location (and should have run away earlier). A good reminder that a tsunami may consist of a succession of waves rather than a single one. This 6-minute video shows a 2017 Greenland tsunami; it is one of the later waves that washes away the buildings.
I recently watched Bølgen (“The Wave”), a Norwegian movie about a fjord-based tsunami. It is a fairly generic disaster movie, but rather well done, has won awards and has an 83% Rotten Tomatoes rating.

In Miami, Florida parents are paying nearly $30,000 for a private school that won't hire teachers who have been vaccinated for Covid-19. And if they've already taken part in the nefarious activity, they will be ordered to keep away from the students (and thus, most likely, will lose their jobs). In a bizarre statement to Miami's NBC6, the school, Centner Academy, said, "It appears that those who have received the injections may be transmitting something from their bodies to those with whom they come in contact."
I suppose I've used the term dozens of times in TYWKIWDBI, always assuming that the piece to which I was linking was someone's opinion written on an editorial page of a journal.
But, as I browsed Why the New York Times is Retiring the Term 'Op-Ed', I discovered that the term was created as an abbreviation for opposite the editorial because it was geographically located on a newspaper page opposite from the editorial page.
