A single Mycena mushroom has its cap illuminated by autumn sunlight where it grows on a dark log against yellow forest undergrowth

Here is a nice mushroom

This needs to be taken seriously and taken seriously now - not in 3 years' time.

Back in the summer Musk said that “civil war (in the UK) is inevitable”.

Now he's actvely fueling it.

And everyone behaves like this is just normal.

@lukelukeluke.bsky.social , you inspired me to find some of my pics.

Once again, @lukelukeluke.bsky.social gives a master class in alt text. Learn from him you can also learn about mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 🍄

Science and religion share one important trait—anthropocentrism. It’s either all about us (humans) or all for us.

Okayy

I had to google to check if it was real and it is. Shame on you, Aldi, you repulsive cheese perverts. I know you’ve done it for the publicity, and here I am giving you publicity, but there’s no amount of publicity that can hide the stain on your souls

Took my Mom and wife to see Wicked in the same theater @jimlee.bsky.social and I both first saw Superman way back in ‘78 - Des Peres Cinema. We all loved it. (I mean Wicked but yes also Superman ofc).

Hey 🤠

No, you are not on Indigenous land Pieces of territory belong to institutions, not to racial groups.

a decent article from the dreaded noah on how a blut und boden nationalism has come to cloak itself in the language of "decolonization" and "indigenous land"

A still from DW Griffith's INTOLERANCE (1916) depicting a massive Babylonian temple, with a huge staircase in the middle climbing to a series of decorative walls with huge arches, beyond which can be spied further decorative walls with arches, receding into the distance. On either side, massive pillars rise supporting plinths upon which immense statues of elephants are set, facing each other. Over the entire scene, hundreds of people are moving like ants.

A thread. My favorite movies from each year, starting with:

1916 INTOLERANCE ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
This grandeur of this early mega-epic means there's a lot to recommend it, though I find the overall tone smug and cloying; an early "cancel culture is out of control."

(This is the only film I've seen from 1916.)

Trump is seizing control of the investigative and prosecutorial powers of the state by staffing them with the most conspiratorial and blindly loyal nominees : Gaetz/Bondi, Patel, Gabbard.

Political retribution is his priority. The rest of governing he doesn’t care about.

No matter what bs they try to sell us, DJT will always be a convicted felon!!

Weird, huh?
