Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:44:59 GMT

Taylor Swift fans shook it off a little too hard during the Eras Tour in Seattle last weekend. A scientist found that Swifties actually generated some seismic activity during the show at Lumen Field. Jackie Caplan-Auerbach is a geology professor at Western Washington University and measured the "Swift Quake" to equal a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.

Hotel housekeepers ask Taylor Swift to postpone Los Angeles-area shows “The primary difference is the duration of shaking,” Caplan-Auerbach explained to CNN. “Cheering after a touchdown lasts for a couple seconds, but eventually it dies down.

The Derby Dolls are Leading a Roller Revival in L.A.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:44:59 GMT

Nestled within one of the smallest cities in the country, near a 5-mile stretch of primarily industrial buildings, lies an underground competition like no other. The nightlife in the city of Vernon is all but non-existent, so you’d never simply stumble upon it unless you got lost on your way to downtown L.A., but the Derby Dolls have given Angelenos a reason to descend on the uneven Vernon streets and run-down railroad crossings regularly. One Saturday a month, hundreds gather in an unassuming sports complex, aptly nicknamed “Dollhalla,” to watch 30 athletes whip around and jam each other on one of the few remaining banked-track roller derby leagues in the U.S.Born from punk rock feminist origins and an early culture of fishnet stockings and rebellious pseudonyms, the Derby Dolls have a 20-year history of not just national championships and raucous home crowds, but creating a unique competitive outlet for women of all ages and backgrounds. As the pastime of roller skating enjoys a r...
