Bad taste after Covid? Then chandeliers and country music are proof the disease exists longer than we assume. ;-)

When Ants Domesticated Fungi
While we’ve been farming for around 10,000 to 12,000 years, the ancestors of ants have been doing it for around 60 million years. So when, and how, and why did ants start … farming?

How does music impact us?
Music affects all levels of the human brain, and directly affects our emotions. Music shapes us in the womb, touches us deeply and can even drive us to perform at our peak. And it can help us to live healthier and happier lives.

A home is something you live in, not an investment. Cryptocurrencies are there to enhance trade and thus create productivity and the things we want and/or need, not an investment. The same goes for a lot of companies, they are meant to enhance society by creating products we need, from food to tv's, they serve us and are not an investment.
It's like a hammer, which is meant to hammer in nails or help with breaking things, a tool with a clear purpose, like the forementioned examples, but when you try to use the hammer as a saw, you never get a wanted result besides a growing feeling of disfunctionality of the tool. It's very good that stocks and also crypto are in free fall, a correction if you like, because it's that costly reminder of a greedy abuse of tools that are meant for something else than just lining pockets and not serving us as the tools they were meant to be.show more -

I'm a fan of superhero films and series, but not all. This was one of them. I kinda got lost after episode one and looking back at it, I think Disney should stay away from this genre.

Space DOES NOT Expand Everywhere
Space is big, and it’s getting bigger. But where does all that new space actually come from? And is it popping into existence all around you right now? Is that why the remote control is always further away than I thought?

Isn't the internet always social and depending on interaction? What's not to like about social media are monopolies of the keyplayers, I think. And I question, for years, the amount of users those keyplayers announce they have. More users mean more advertisement income and reason enough to add a little spice to the actual numbers. The longer I am not using Instagram, Facebook and so on, the more I RE-discover the actual internet with a lot of "substitutes" to the mainstream outlets. And good heavens, there are actual sites that function and blossom without any algorithms or other beatmakers. ;-) Even way better technologies, as in peer-to-peer distributed sites and content or, hold on for this one, actual ad free websites that make a profit by paying their users and taking their (fair) share of the tokens that are traded (Odysee).
The big ass monopolies are on their way down, I guess, just by seeing how fast decentralisation is starting to get a grip on the internet. More and more tools (Signal) and sites like Pixelfed or Mastodon are popping up and growing really quickly. I like that a lot. It's never gonna be like "the old days" again, but there's definitely a renewed and really improved internet for all on its' way. From that point of view, and experience, Musk has made his worst investment to date by buying Twitter (with borrowed money and other forms of debt and by selling some of his shares of the companies he "founded" (read: bought out)).
Like with MySpace and others that are long gone, the current dominant players will deminish if they do not get a hold of that decentralisation and other technological developments, which they will be hesitant towards, since that also means a loss of power, besides income. It's like with banks versus crypto and trading apps: old versus new. And guess what? Old is already going down, kicking and screaming. But this will not go over really peacefully, we're talking about a lot of money and power here that is shifting towards new players , innovators (real ones) and visionaires that do not copycat old shit and call it theirs (I see you Microsoft and Apple). :-)

I won't. :-) There's one thing I'd love to see happening, though: the elimination of bots. The vast amounts of followers some people have, including Musk, will deminish. Yes, I'd love to see the world burn. At least online, that is.

Just a thought: maybe the data isn't meant for Facebook, but for some obscure government agency that is infamous for trying to pry in on peoples' lives for decades.

Why it's harder to earn more than your parents
In the 21st century it's got harder to earn more than your parents and to climb the social ladder. What's gone wrong, and what can be done to change this?

Energy independence could have been established many years ago, but nooooooo, neoliberal politics and some old fashioned oil cunts thought differently.

A New World Order
It is more urgent than ever for Europe to become self-sufficient in energy. This is accompanied by major power shifts, both within and outside the EU. What will the energy transition mean for geopolitical relations?
