This week, the 21-year-old left the office for the day and walked home. She only made it a few steps. A gunman shot her point blank in the head and chest. She died instantly. At around the same time, two of her co-workers, 21-year-old Sadia Sadat and 20-year-old Shahnaz Raufi, left work together, jumping into an auto rickshaw. When they got out close to their homes, gunmen in another rickshaw that had been following them opened fire, killing both women and wounding two passers-by. The coordinated killings of the three women were the latest in a bloody campaign against journalists in Afghanistan, a country that was already considered one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. In just the last six months, 15 journalists and media workers have been killed in a series of targeted killings. The killings have spread fear among Afghanistan’s journalist community, prompting some to stop working or flee or self-censor to avoid angering militants or government officials, who have threatened journalists reporting on killings of civilians by government forces.

https://weather.com/news/news/2021-03-04-new-zealand-north-island-strong-earthquake-strikes Strong Earthquake Causes Severe Shaking in New Zealand, Coastal Residents Warned to Head to Higher Ground By Ron Brackettless than an hour ago Residents on New Zealand's coast were warned to head to higher ground immediately over the threat of a tsunami after a strong earthquake struck off the country’s North Island and caused severe shaking. The 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck 147 miles northeast of Gisborne, New Zealand, at 2:27 a.m. Friday (8:27 a.m. EST), according to the U.S. Geological Survey. “People near the coast from CAPE RUNAWAY to TOLAGA BAY should MOVE IMMEDIATELY to the nearest high ground, out of tsunami evacuation zones, or as far inland as possible. Do not return until an official all-clear message is given by Civil Defence," New Zealand’s National Emergency Management Agency tweeted. The agency issued a tsunami warning and said coastal inundation was expected on the east coast of the North Island from Cape Runaway to Tolaga Bay. It said strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges near the shore are expected on all other coastal areas of the North Island, the Great Barrier Island, South Island, Stewart Island and Chatham Islands. The first waves were expected to New Zealand in the areas around East Cape at about 3:34 a.m. New Zealand Standard Time. The U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center earlier had said, "Based on the preliminary earthquake parameters ... hazardous tsunami waves are possible for coasts located within 300 KM (186 miles) of the earthquake epicenter." So far there have been no reports of injuries or damage. https://s.w-x.co/util/image/w/EARTHQUAKE%20New%20Zealand.png

LOL that's just bad marketing from BK. Everybody knows if you go on a lengthy twitter multi post the comment read the most will be the first one. So a bunch of people stopped at that one. They basically just dunked on themselves.
