2023-02-20 16:16:15 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

There is no scientific evidence for earthquake predictions. Earthquake rates are well within normal ranges, which anyone can look up in public data. "Plate blocking" has no basis in peer-reviewed research. "Megaquakes" are not physically possible.

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1627299557607608321

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
