NO OTHER LAND won an Oscar without a US distributor. Stunning. #Oscars #NoOtherLand

Don’t Tread on Me—Unless You’re a Billionaire with a Ketamine Addiction, in Which Case I Enthusiastically Support It Listen, I don’t know how to say this, but I think I’m finally okay with being trodden on. Just a little. Just enough to feel the reassuring weight ...

"I trust this guy. He’s not like the others. When the government tracks you, that’s tyranny. When a billionaire does it? That’s innovation."

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint.

In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry.

Make sure everyone knows it.

Trump & Musk are randomly firing people who:

➡️track bird flu & other disease outbreaks
➡️manage nuclear weapons
➡️conduct lifesaving cancer research
➡️fight wildfires
➡️ensure planes land safely
➡️& more.

It doesn’t "cut waste." It creates inefficiency & costs MORE down the line.

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families.

Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did Since Texas banned abortion, no one has studied the statewide effects on pregnant women experiencing complications. Here’s how we sifted through data on millions of pregnancy hospitalizations and anal...

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Urgent CDC data and analyses on influenza and bird flu go missing as outbreaks escalate | CNN Sonya Stokes, an emergency room physician in the San Francisco Bay Area, braces herself for a daily deluge of patients sick with coughs, soreness, fevers, vomiting, and other flu-like symptoms.

“Flu has been brutal this season. The CDC estimates at least 24 million illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations, and 13,000 deaths from the flu since the start of October… But CDC analyses that would inform people about these situations are delayed, and the CDC has cut off communication with doctors”

Looks smooth as buttah, beautiful job!

A family of glowing orange enoki mushrooms have such sticky caps that they look like over-full water glasses in danger of spilling over. They grow together in the punky decay of a moss speckled log under a bright winter sky All photos by me

Here are some nice mushrooms

I feel like "elon musk has unlimited rights to your personal data and can literally steal your tax money while you have zero right to know what he's doing with it" should be pretty legible to everyone as tyranny

#Washington folks: HB 1584 is an attempt to take away vote by mail in our state, forcing us to only vote in-person on election days. Making it harder for people to vote is voter suppression. Use the link to message state reps and tell them to reject this bill!

That third slide tho 😮‍💨

The world's on fire, make friends with crows. 🐦‍⬛💕🦐

Looking up a tree. There are several clusters of Enoki mushrooms that we are viewing from below. One cluster is very near, showing perfect gills

Looking up ✨🍄‍🟫✨

I can’t remembering loving the non-truff version before this 🫢

Ugh, I love her! 🥹

ARTIST’S PALETTE

We’ve made it to our destination in Death Valley National Park and we’re met with strikingly beautiful colors despite the miles and miles of desert landscape.

Antrodia, only seen this in one spot on these two adjacent stumps. Reminds me of honeycomb. Unlike most polypores, Antrodia is an effused-resupinate, meaning they grow stretched out on a surface with the hymenium exposed instead of underneath.
