"The new pope, like the old pope, does not support MAGA’s christofascist nationalism. MAGA, confronted with the fact that they do not control everything or everyone, responded in their usual fashion — by wailing and gnashing their teeth."

Its #raining here- started over night, still going near 1pm, +a bit yesterday afternoon. Very welcome, we weren't as dry as many places, we've had #rain already this #spring and snow not that long ago, but wetlands have been weirdly dry as our Winter #snow melt was modest and all soaked in quickly. The mesic + upland soils are in decent shape from rain, but wetlands have a hard time catching up if snowmelt is inadequate. photo details in alt

I love your rock garden. I don’t like the sound of dry wetlands so here’s hoping a lot more rain comes your way.
Weather wise the allotments missed out on the thunderstorm rains which fell just a few miles away. We got a brief heavy shower that was enough to wet the ground but not enough to put much in the water butts.

Coca-Cola has a new AI-powered ad that proudly features a quote from a J.G. Ballard book — except he didn't write the words, and it's not his book. @404mediaco explains what happened — and the irony of using Ballard's words in a commercial built with technology. "The ultimate role of 'Crash' is cautionary, a warning against that brutal, erotic and overlit realm that beckons more and more persuasively to us from the margins of the technological landscape,” Ballard wrote in his 1995 introduction to his most famous work.

This is wrong on so many levels...
J.G. Ballad was one of the 33 authors in Dangerous Visions, and most days I feel like his visions were the most prescient.

When spacecraft are constructed, they're assembled in special cleanrooms that are engineered to have extremely low levels of dust and microbes. Now, researchers have found that specific types of extremophiles have evolved to thrive in environments designed to remove all their competitors. They examined space agency cleanrooms and found 26 novel bacterial species, with specific features that let them handle decontamination and radiation.
