An agricultural scientist and a seismologist walk into a bar

Wonderful story of interdisciplinary friendship, inspiration, and innovation

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot
I knew that a revolution in our understanding of soil could change the world. Then came a eureka moment – and the birth of the Earth Rover Program, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology
a cartoon with two panels panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there" The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.
A parking lot showing a cybertruck in one spot, next to a car that has built a cybertruck-esque shell around it out of green plastic. It's really hard to describe exactly how silly this vehicle looks next to the green car.

We should first recognize that gender codes are socially constructed. Clothing is not inherently masculine or feminine—codes are contextual and can change over time. Aristocratic men once wore bright red heels. Then they became womenswear until that notion was challenged again.
A painting of King Louis XIV of France. He's wearing an opulent outfit made of furs, lace, and gold. He's also wearing white buckled shoes with a high red heel. A close-up of the white buckled shoes with a high-red heel. There appears to be a red lace at the top of the shoes. Fashion influencer Luka Sabbat wearing a black leather suit and black boots with a very high heel. James Baldwin wearing a white, short-sleeved button-down shirt, white cotton pants, and brown Cuban heeled side-zip boots. He also has chunky gold and turquoise jewelry (bracelet and ring).

In den vergangenen Tagen gab es Messerangriffe in Bremen, Lübeck, Ratingen, Erfurt, mehrere in Dortmund und in Berlin. Teilweise mit Toten, mit Schusswechsel mit der Polizei. Von keinem hast du wahrscheinlich gehört. In die Trends kommen nur die Einzelfälle mit Schutzsuchenden. Rate mal, warum.

Dieser Cartoon zeigt bestens die Strategie der rechten, superreichen & fossilen Lobby, hier personifiziert durch Medienmogul und Klimaleugner Rupert Murdoch (Fox News, Sun, Times etc etc): vor Wahlen die Leute gegen Ausländer aufhetzen!

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

I’m not sure people quite grasp how much of the crypto world is reacting to the Trump memecoin launches.
Trump dropping his own memecoin means he has the wrong people in his ear re crypto policy. I’m now getting very concerned about the Trump presidency. nic carter @nic__carter · 11h Something that hasn’t been much discussed - creating a bunch of personal memecoins opens the door to secretive foreign buyers trying to curry influence with our leaders. If you hated hunter biden’s anonymous art sales, you should hate this too. nic carter @nic__carter Basically, we used to have an informal rule that presidents wouldn’t start or run businesses that could pose a conflict of interest. Creating a bunch of memecoins and defi protocols opens the possibility to rampant violations of the emoluments clause. Not to mention the obvious COI given the fact that trump can set crypto policy. Ryan Selkis (d/acc) 🇺🇸 @twobitidiot Dear @realDonaldTrump : Please fire whoever recommended going forward with the Melania launch today. 1. They don’t know what they’re doing. 2. They cost you a lot of $ and goodwill. 3. They don’t have your interests in mind. Brent @Brentsketit feel bad for anyone trying to build anything serious rn president just making a complete mockery of this industry fighting another biden admin prolly would have been better longterm

Jemand hatte schlechte Weihnachten.
Eine Wiener Altbau-Haus auf dem im letzten Stockwerk ein Banner aus dem Fenster hängt mit den Worten: Familie abschaffen. A Viennese house from the 19t century. Someone hung a banner from top floor with the words: abolish family.

A bunch of men are hanging out in a big hole. A sign points to it labelled "Hole." One of the men in the hole points to a sign that says "NEW HOLE." He says "hey look! someone made a new hole!" All the men frantically rush out of the old hole and into the new one. One comments "this feels like how the old hole used to feel."

this killed me
A woodpecker with a red spot on its head is perched on the side of a palm tree, seemingly having just disturbed the sleep of a camouflaged owl, which is peeking out with wide eyes and an annoyed expression. The scene is set against a backdrop of tropical foliage, and a caption reads, 'IT IS THE DAYTIME, HECTOR. THE DAY. WHEN I SLEEP. WHAT THE FUCK.'"

Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.
