Striking before-and-after images show extent of California’s snow drought
As California experiences its second-worst snow drought in 50 years,
new images show a stark comparison with last year’s snow levels.
This year, the Sierra snowpack peaked on Feb. 25.
It was only 73% of average, then rapidly dwindled from there.
Then, summerlike heat in March broke monthly records in many areas of the Western United States.
Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with U…

Hey folx! You probably see a lot of stuff from other social networks mirrored to Mastodon, how about we do it the other way around?
Recently, I've starred to mirror my posts to Instagram, Reddit, and other platforms, and I've had quite the success. My biggest post on Instagram, which is just one screenshot of a Mastodon post, has 44.5k likes and 256k views. My

Erik Uden on Instagram: "Babe, wake up. New man-made horrors beyond comprehension dropped!! In the end of the day, these companies probably realized that, just like with AI, they can somehow use scare tactics to attract venture capital. It's still a horrifying thing to think of, but possibly overblown to get money. The headline of the Science article reads: Not alive, but not dead: disembodied human brains used for drug testing By restoring some functions to intact brains from deceased donors, the startup Bexorg hopes to create a better drug development test bed for neurodegenerative diseases, written by Sara Reardon, published on the 20th of May 2026. Though, reading this Science article made me think: aren't we the brain? Am I missing something here? Now, of course the devil lies in the detail and the article makes it clear that this startup only restores “some functions”, which is certainly more complex in action than it is in theory written here, but certain language of the article makes me question the author's understanding of what is a human. The article writes: “Just a day ago, the brain was in a living person. Now, hours after its owner died, it sits on a cart draped in tubes [...]” What do you mean “it's owner” — isn't the brain it's owner? Isn't that where it's owner is? I mean, certainly the brain had no more activity, the person must've been declared brain dead by all standards before being sent to this startup, still it's odd hearing someone donated their brain instead of saying they've donated... themselves? Also “using a set of proprietary brain-sustaining machines” is a terrible sentence I always thought the people who don't donate their full body to hospitals are religious lunatics, but this is the first time I wrote something on my organ donor card. They can take my brain, but not as one piece."

Brussels launched an age checking app. Hackers say it took them 2 minutes to break it.

The battle to be the absolute worst Trump henchman can feel so closely fought.
But in the end, it’s always JD Vance, isn’t it?
You would say Stephen Miller,
but Miller’s too hidden to qualify as a front-of-house henchman among the US president’s court of grotesques.
Stephen’s clearly been judged so wantonly horrifying that the administration must keep him out of public view.
If you enter the store, Miller is the only-for-the-initiated entity alluded to in a …

Europe’s right-wing populists had been pulling away from the U.S. president even before Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbšn suffered a bruising loss in Sunday’s parliame…
