I just read that this is actually eaten, fried, by some indigenous peoples of Mexico, who call it . . . caca de luna. (Use your high-school Spanish to translate that one!) 😂
My first sighting this season of dog's vomit slime mold (Fuligo septica), the best common name in all of mycology. It looks appealingly fuzzy but is pure goo through and through. One of the most beautiful, purest yellows in nature. New Hampshire, this evening.

Not sure that Trump and his merry band of cretins really grok that he can't afford any more defections and DGAF Republicans—but on the other hand, I say, welcome them over from the Dark Side. Let's show him what America is about and fuck his shit up come November.
As of two days ago, the Pentagon recognizes every Christian faith in America as Christian
Except one
That’s not okay, and it needs to change—now
Pass it on if you agree
Great piece by @HadleyFreeman in Britain’s @thetimes about the Great unmarked graves social panic of 2021-26. The story makes Canadians look like gullible idiots, but it’s a valuable international case study in mass hysteria & journalistic incompetence

I still don't get the DoorDash thing. Who throws their money away like this? You don't even have to cook—but you can't drive ten minutes to pick up some carry-out?Your time is THAT important? And then you complain about the cost of everything?
Meet Kaylynn Dang, a DoorDash driver in Michigan. In a video she posted, Dang is seen laughing while announcing that the customers will not be receiving their delivery after spotting an Israeli flag in their front yard.
But remember: Trump was absolutely clear in the 2024 campaign. He would pardon these people -- all of them -- and he regarded them as heroes and patriots. The voters knew. Eyes wide open.
Man, this really dates me, but I'll never forget Spy magazine's take on the Packwood sex scandal: "How much wood would Packwood pack if Packwood could pack wood?" 😂
@ArundelXVI Your Mae West comparison is right on the money. The "senior sexpot" thing has never worked in any context except crude comedy. Even women oohed and aahed as "cougars" don't try to stuff themselves into stretch fabric, but just DGAF while still acting and looking their age.
@ArundelXVI I have a pair of skinny jeans (decades old) that I still fit into and occasionally wear, but less and less. I'll certainly never buy another pair. Madonna was always lauded for her sense of "reinvention," but now it's just a retread. It's like she never planned ahead for aging.
The New World Screwworm, a grave parasitic threat, has just been detected in US cattle for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.
The parasite's revival comes after Trump and DOGE slashed funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.
When you think about it, the way that a lot of trans activists stubbornly cling to—and push—the Marsha P. Johnson myth(s) is pretty much the same ethos that gave us "windmill cancer" and injecting disinfectant to "fight" COVID.
