With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans

Some thoughts:
1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.
2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.
4. He would be so mad.

Market's insane so I did something I don't usually do: bought some refurbed hard drives (the spinny kind) to shore up a few of my aging ZFS arrays.
They came with 8 years of runtime, 👴🏻 but if you can believe it that's less than the drives they're replacing. 💀
(FYI everything's well-duplicated. 🙏🏻🤞🏻)
