"The results: Land use was the most important factor. Underpants decomposed the fastest in private gardens, where soil analysis also revealed the highest levels of organic matter, making it an ideal environment for earthworms, fungi, bacteria, and so forth."
Why did 1,000 world citizens bury their underpants?

Already posted this years ago, but still keep thinking a lot about this seemingly trivial quote/insight and more generally what it means to build futures, not just the future, whilst choosing different lenses of the past and present as selective references/tools for aiming at, achieving (or even avoiding) said futures:

The DOJ withdraws subpoenas that would have forced three NYT reporters to testify about sources, after a federal judge criticized the DOJ for sloppy legal work (Associated Press)

Government withdraws subpoenas of 3 reporters for The New York Times
The government has withdrawn subpoenas that would have compelled three New York Times reporters to testify about their sources for articles about President Donald Trump’s Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet. The withdrawals in U.S. District Court followed a remarkable back and forth between a visibly irritated Judge Arun Subramanian and government attorneys. They come at a time when the Trump administration is vigorously going after news organizations whose reporting and coverage it doesn’t lik…

New 10x8" silver gelatin print. This one took a lot of refining, back and forth and test strips to achieve the right balance between brightness, contrast (esp. in the brighter parts of the clouds) and smooth mid-tone transitions. So even though this is a contact print from a digital negative, this was the first time in ages (i.e. decades) that I used some physical dodging to soften the horizon and emphasize the haze in the distance a tiny bit more...

Sonnet 134 - CXXXIV
So now I have confessed that he is thine,
And I my self am mortgaged to thy will,
Myself I'll forfeit, so that other mine
Thou wilt restore to be my comfort still:
But thou wilt not, nor he will not be free,
For thou art covetous, and he is kind;
He learned but surety-like to write for me,
Under that bond that him as fast doth bind.
The statute of thy beauty thou wilt take,
Thou usurer, that put'st forth …

"this is #fascism with a difference. Its proponents are actively willing an apocalypse, or a wave of interconnected apocalypses brought forth by #ClimateChange and financial chaos, to hasten us towards a post-democratic world in which only a rich few survive to prosper" -- Naomi Klein

She’s tackled neoliberalism and the digital world, now the writer and activist is taking on tech billionaires. She explains how the super-rich are capitalising on climate and financial chaos in pursuit of power

A federal judge on Friday again blocked Donald Trump’s executive order
to impose sweeping restrictions on mail-in voting,
the latest in a legal back-and-forth playing out less than two months before election day.
US district court judge Indira Talwani initially placed a temporary order blocking the president’s mandate
and has now extended that prohibition with a stronger preliminary injunction.
The ruling comes hours after North Carolina became the first state …

I prefer the ancient Egyptian's own name for it, "Spells of Coming Forth by Day", over the egyptologist-forced "Book of the Dead". The tone difference is so important.

The computer at the bottom of a canal
Somewhere at the bottom of the Forth and Clyde Canal, buried in the silt, there is a box of custom silicon that was right about almost everything. Back in 1988 a Scottish hi-fi company shipped a processor that checked the type and bounds of every memory access in hardware, garbage-collected its own heap in silicon, […]

This November, California voters will weigh what could become America’s first-ever tax on net worth.
The Billionaire Tax Act,
a ballot initiative put forth by health workers after Donald Trump blew holes in the state Medicaid budget,
would impose a one-time tax of 5 percent on personal wealth exceeding $1 billion.
With polls indicating majority support,
tech oligarchs have threatened an exodus
and crafted competing measures,
bankrolling them to the…

America's oligarchs guard their hoards jealously—but there may be a way in.

Although bidirectional charging lives from back-and-forth, it can’t survive a regulatory landscape that is going back-and-forth as well.
