Chernobyl Fungus Appears to Have Evolved an Incredible Ability
https://www.sciencealert.com/chernobyl-fungus-appears-to-have-evolved-an-incredible-ability
That fungus is called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and some scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. This proposed mechanism is even referred to as radiosynthesis.

A radiation-eating fungus, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, thrives inside the Chernobyl reactor. Scientists theorize its melanin pigment may perform "radiosynthesis," harnessing deadly ionizing radiation for energy like plants use sunlight. While not yet proven, the fungus demonstrably grows better in radiation and may even act as a radiation shield, a stunning adaptation to a man-made disaster.

Ever since the Unit Four reactor at Russia's Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded nearly 40 years ago, other forms of life have not only moved in but survived, adapted, and appeared to thrive. Scientists recently found the evidence clinging to the interior walls of one of the most radioactive buildings on Earth. @ScienceAlert has more:

Protestors foiled an ICE raid. It started out as just a few people blocking the path of an ICE vehicle with their body, and then 200 more people came to protest.

This is a successful demonstration of standing up to the nazi fascist GOP Republicans.

This is the kind of thing you must be brave enough to do when you see it happen. Someone's life may depend on your courage.

joseph Stiglitz's new report for the G20 (sadly the link from the Guardian is to an insecure URL) points out across the world, that:

'the richest 1% captured 41% of all new wealth since 2000, while the bottom half gained just 1%. On average, someone in the global top 1% became $1.3m richer; a person in the poorest half gained $585'... which as Stiglitz also points out isn't an accident but a choice by the world's political & business class(es).

I love this framing by @wynlim :

> The most important change to my mindset is to simply embrace writing imperfect notes and storing them imperfectly. We should not see them as permanent structures but rather as something organic – they are constantly in flux and we can edit or prune them later.

Hilarious. And I say that while living in the country with the highest multicultural proportion in the world, and almost completely at ease with it. Despite Murdoch's and his Newscorp's (Fox, Sky et al) attempts to ruin our society.

Suck it, racists and white nationalist.

The indie web is here to make the internet weird again | The Verge

"Depending on how social media changes over the next few years, I wouldn’t be surprised to see more people leave and give the indie web a try. Much like vinyl, it will probably never return to its peak like in the pre-Yahoo GeoCities days, but I think there will continue to be a consistent group of people who flock to this side of the internet to escape the modern internet."
