#putrescience #manifesto - looking very neat, but don't get fooled. It's pretty stinky and I'm told it was sprayed with some liquid smoke Greek perfume from the local Mind, Body & (putrid) Spirit show. And also the space is definitely not a white cube - but appropriately the humid cellars.

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." Stephen Jay Gould, 1941 - 2002

Nous avons publié "la Chine est-elle impérialiste ?". Un ouvrage collectif dirigé par l'économiste Rémy Herrera, qui bat en brèche les idées reçues sur la prétendue "menace chinoise". Bonne lecture ! https://editionscritiques.fr/produit/la-chine-est-elle-imperialiste/

#permaculture #urbangardening #paradise The BarSozialkasse is the most amazing garden/wild spot in Wedding just behind the Lidl. Friends from the Zip group & Vladan & Rena organized a lovely meeting, painting & planting sunny yet chilly May evening.

Glad the Lebanon cedar🌲is growing up in Romani d Jos in this lovely area of the southern Carpathians highlands. Thanks Vasile Leac and Raluca G. for planting and nurturing something that will outlast me and bring some shade over my this scorched planet.

Huh, there's a public pizza oven in the middle of the street, next to a raised garden bed/urban furniture. Always nice to see - gives me a bit of hope regarding urban greening and heightened social life in #Berlin.

Noticed Crash by JG Ballard in this secret collection of erotic books from the Soviet times. Remember the curious role played by the erotica/smut lit during late Ceaușescu era. Beside the legalized Jules Verne swaps there was playboy/hustler trafficking. www.themoscowtimes.com/archive/insi...

"Had Beijing simply given Great Dragon a monopoly over China’s telecom equipment, this would have been a disaster for the entire country. But China had deliberately created space for multiple strong competitors to emerge so that the industry overall would continue to make progress."

Outer space is harsh. Extreme temperatures and radiation can break down most materials, but a study on the International Space Station finds a biological molecule that holds its own: melanin derived from #fungus. It may prepare the way towards long term space exploration. In PNAS: t.co/H7M7NN5lA9

Also reminds us that RFK is a latecomer to the game (another exemple of how easy to recycle colonialist & imperialist tropes has become). There's this anecdote with 'Germ theory' denialist in the upper echelons of the Pentagon during the pandemic saying 'if I don't see them, they don't exist'.

Die Frühjahrsdürre ist inzwischen gravierend. Nachdem schon der Koalitionsvertrag den Umwelt- und Klimaschutz zur Nebensache degradiert hat, ist jetzt niemand in Sicht, der das Umwelt- und Klimaministerium mit Engagement übernehmen möchte. Es ist ein Trauerspiel. #Dürre #Klima

The Soviet spacecraft Kosmos 482 will soon re-enter the atmosphere. It's the same design as Venera 8, launched 4 days earlier in 1972. They were intended to be buddies, but Venera 8 made it to the surface of Venus while Kosmos 482 got stuck in Earth orbit. 🧪 #PlanetSci
