As Southern Africa's forests disappear, scientists are using "air layering" to clone wild fruit trees like the wild loquat. By duplicating indigenous species, researchers are protecting miombo woodland biodiversity and securing a vital food source for millions. Ryan Truscott reports for #Mongabay.

Scientists clone Southern Africa’s wild fruit trees as forests disappear

Plant geneticist Alice Muchugi recalls meeting a group of furious fruit sellers on the side of a dusty road not far from Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare, in 2024. They told her that a group of men armed…

LMAO it flips what's upside-down i'm HOWLING

Screenshot from the videogame Reus 2. Two giants stand above a pretty forest area. The ground is at the bottom, and curves, as this is on a globe. This is without the 'Southern Hemisphere' option.

Same game and scene as before, but this time with the 'Southern Hemisphere' option enabled the ground is now at the top of the screen! This is what Australia is like, huh.

The British put Boers into concentration camps due to 'security concerns' and let them die of hunger, exposure, and disease. I wish white westerners would actually learn about South Africa when talking about it, the people, and the history.

Some guy called Jeff Fecke has posted a thread. The screeenshotted text is post two of ten. It reads;

"But South Africa" I'm going to stop you right there. Afrikaner South Africans were a minority in their own country. Without support from Europe and the West they were doomed, as Rhodesia conclusively proved. And they were culturally European with no significant history of oppression in their past."

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

I should probably write something about this at some point - a little ‘Guide to Domestication’ or something on the ol’ blog. But in the meantime, I can use this to once again plug my previous domestication pieces (that are, of course, probably outdated!). 😎👍

LANTERNS is many things. A Green Lantern show, a good show, a mystery show. It is also a show about jackets. Every episode, someone is wearing a very sick jacket. Much to ponder.

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc

Did Anthropic’s A.I. Really Make a Scientific Discovery on Its Own? (Gift Article)

An expert at the University of Copenhagen said his team had been sharing its research with the company’s A.I. model, Claude, and that its new finding matched their work.

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

do you guys think anti Agricultural Revolution guys were like this (under a steam announcement for a Manor Lords optional beta, one of the changes is removing the option to disable crop rotation)

Some utter numpty has written words that read;

""Crop rotation is mandatory because there's no logical reason why you wouldn't do it." Fun. Let the player choose to have fun their way instead of chasing some ridiculous semblance of 'realism'. It's a video game."

I find it fascinating that so many estranged parents view the estrangement as an incident, not as a process. So it's forums full of Boomers going "She stopped talking to me because I said her haircut was bad! She's so UNREASONABLE!", when, in reality, they've been shitting on their kid for decades.
