People in the Rights of Nature are starting to ask if rivers are alive. If so…the world’s oldest known river is Finke in Australia, which, when running, drains into Lake Eyre, a former gulf. It’s 400 myo, older than trees and land vertebrates. And an ephemeral revenant. That’s cool!

Fellow plant nerds: how about giving Amorphophallus titanum a new common name: the "Trump Lily"?
Why?
-The "Trump Lily" smells like a decaying elephant
-Its scientific name literally means "titanic malformed dick"
-It abuses maggots to reproduce
-It’s the biggest con artist among plants!

Dude’s always doing things wrong way round. He needs to spend six months to a year in solitary confinement in a Mars technology demonstrator—the ISS for example—to show that he’s got the right stuff to go to Mars.

The paradox of NYTimes Games, in this case Letter Boxed. Was this their intention, or did I just see it? Fascinating.

Here’s the Franklin Fire in Malibu. Pink is evacuate, red is burning. Pepperdine University is on left, city center is on right. Pacific Coast Highway is closed. Pepperdine at least is hardened against this.
