"Ur-Fascism is still around us, sometimes in plainclothes. It would be so much easier, for us, if there appeared on the world scene somebody saying, “I want to reopen Auschwitz, I want the Black Shirts to parade again in the Italian squares.” Life is not that simple." - Umberto Eco.

Fascism is inherently anti-science as it rejects truths that contradict its ideology, eg. climate change, and restricts science to serve the state. Such as using it in a distorted way to promote racialism or serve military objectives.

"If our eye could penetrate the earth and see its interior from pole to pole, from where we stand to the antipodes, we would glimpse with horror a mass terrifyingly riddled with fissures and caverns." —Thomas Burnet, Telluris Theoria Sacra, Amsterdam, Wolters, 1694, p. 38
Underground 'supercave' stretches nearly 16.5 miles, with a 3,000-foot vertical drop
Explorers connected two deep caves and discover a 16.5 miles "supercave system" that could double in size.

More lovely books arrived. Just finished Super-Frog in around 30 minutes. Beautifully illustrated, Kafkaesque surrealism. So glad I've discovered Murakami. Strange pictures is for my daughter but I'm not sure I can wait until after Xmas to nab it and read it for myself. 🤤

Spent the early hours of the morning searching up Japanese fiction to buy for my Daughter as a Christmas present as she has an affinity for Japan, found myself intrigued and ended up downloading a load for kindle & ordering 2 Haruki Murakami books for myself. I did get her a couple though. 😂

Modern stress hits us nonstop, unlike rare ancestral dangers. Our sympathetic nervous system stays switched on, while the parasympathetic struggles to calm us. Practices like forest bathing/meditation help restore balance no need to think of it as spiritual woo, to treat it as relaxation is enough.
Humans are evolved for nature, not cities, say anthropologists
A new paper by evolutionary anthropologists Colin Shaw (University of Zurich) and Daniel Longman (Loughborough University) argues that modern life has outpaced human evolution. The study suggests that...

🎵 "They call me mellow yellow" 🎵
"Yellow Brain" (Tremella mesenterica)
a parasitic jelly fungus that feeds on fungi that feed on dead wood. Either that or it's lookalike Golden Ear (Tremella aurantia) which is also parasitic so I am reading. Can't see any evidence of what it is feeding on.

Really like the look of this Mushroom with it's spikes and fibre-like cap. I think it's "Old Man Of The Woods" but can't find any similar photos online with this tan shade so please correct me if wrong.

So strange, it looks like a gloop of solidified liquid metal stuck to a tree.
This is the most unusual Slime Mold I have ever came across. I needed assistance in identifying it and the verdict was it is a False Puffball Slime Mold. The color is so shiny and unnatural I actually smelled it to make sure it wasn't painted. #Hedgewatch #slimemold #fungi
