A documentary crew followed this polar bear as it searched for somewhere—anywhere—to shelter, but its home was gone. When it finally sat at the cliff’s edge and let out those slow, sad growls, it became one of the hardest moments they had ever filmed.

Now that the moss is sending up sporophytes, the little tank has a real “alien biome” feel.

Surprisingly youthful looking, these Chondrostereum purpureum fungi on a mossy dead tree trunk. Could also be a Trametes versicolor (turkey tail). Couldn’t get close enough to determine. #fungifriends

Baeomyces rufus (I think) #lichen from a wayside embankment in the forest. On loamy material over siliceous rock. I will need to sit down with this for an evening to be sure though as I have no first hand experience with this species. The short stalks of the apothecia to not show from this angle.

so true

"Been think'in 'bout it lately, been watch'in some TV, been look'in all around me - at what has come to be. Been talk'in to my neighbour, and he agrees with me - it's all gone crazy."

We put Putin's 19 December speech next to Hitler's 1939 Reichstag address. Seven steps. Same sequence. Same wording. "I wanted peace." "They rejected everything." "I was forced to act."

Why does this ridiculous, stupid, coke-addled nepo-baby of a nepo-baby brat have any say in U.S. foreign policy? What foolish, horrifying times we live in.

It’s not just Gaza. Netanyahu’s extremist government is supporting the violent annexation of Palestinian land in the West Bank. This is illegal and immoral, and decades of American silence have enabled it. NO MORE MILITARY AID FOR NETANYAHU.

Sunday reading:   I wrote about the MAGA civil war - about the different factions and what they want, the dynamics that are shaping the Right, and where MAGA is headed as the end of Trump’s reign is looming on the horizon.   This week’s piece:

Wir von @correctiv.org haben heute einen wichtigen juristischen Sieg errungen. In diesem ausführlichen Text erklären wir, warum es überhaupt zu diesen langwierigen Klageverfahren kam – welche PR-Maschine dahinter steht – und was das Ganze mit der Debatte um ein AfD-Verbotsverfahren zu tun hat.

Wieder einmal soll ein Gesetz eingeführt werden, dass die Rechte der unbescholtenen Bürger einschränkt, wirklich Kriminelle aber gar nicht tangiert. Sind bei unseren Politikern nur noch Kretins am Werk? Welcher Internetkrimnelle geht denn noch ohne VPN ins Netz? www.tagesschau.de/inland/innen...

He has always been a sociopathic asshole (imho!) And he has shown his true colors very early on, but ppl were blind. (like the typical internet user unaware of interacting with Bot accounts or takes obvious AI content for real) www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/u... The Pic says it all.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

The Epstein Files, everybody!

The letters aren’t formed all that well, but a pretty good effort for a slime mold. There’s a couple of special characters in there so I suspect it’s a password. (Species name, Physarum bivalve) #myxo #slime #fungifriends #language #linguist

Putin absolutely doesnt like those .. the Goon and Mass-murderer is even suing the artist for "disparagement of russian army" 😂 🤡

There is no way to stop climate change research at NCAR without doing irreparable damage to weather research. "The idea that you can just pull “vital” weather research activities out of a unique, vibrant scientific environment and expect that they will just continue to roll along is ludicrous."
