Very cool, the Dacks and Manna labs show that BLOC machinery is present across the eukaryotic tree of life and was likely in place prior to LECA. Moreover, they show ancient homology between all three BLOCs and other post-endosomal retrograde trafficking machinery (BORC, CCZ1 and MON1 proteins, and an unexpected relationship with the โhomotypic fusion and vacuole protein sortingโ (HOPS) and โClass C core vacuole/endosomal tetheringโ (CORVET) complexes).

We need to talk about data. Crap data. Weโre destroying our environment to create and store trillions of blurred photos and cat videos, binge watch Netflix, and ask ChatGPT inane questions and get instant wrong answers.Gerry McGovern

Water from a polluted river in Ghana was so thick and discoloured that an artist was able to use it as paint to depict the environmental devastation caused by the illegal gold mining in the resource-rich West African state.

Interesting perspective
What size population can Australia sustain? Or should we avoid trying to answer the question?
...
"Although sustained below-replacement fertility will pose serious potential challenges for much of the world over the course of the century, it also presents opportunities for environmental progress," they wrote.
"Alongside strong pro-environmental regulations, a smaller global population in the future could alleviate some strain on global food systems, fragile environments, and other finite resources, and also reduce carbon emissions.
"A 2012 study suggests that if global population were to follow a low-growth rather than a medium-growth path, worldwide carbon emissions would be 15 per cent lower by 2050 and 40 per cent lower by 2100.
"The 2023 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report likewise suggests that low population growth (a result of low fertility) is an important factor in limiting global warming.
"However, increasing consumption per capita due to economic development could offset the benefits of smaller populations."

It's wild how social media outside of the fediverse has deteriorated. You have followers, but if your post doesn't please some opaque algorithm, they'll never see what you post. You have to avoid certain words to please the algorithm. If you refresh the page good luck finding the same posts again. And people put up with it.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,
Film photography took a back seat in the 2000s and 2010s because it couldn't compete with digital cameras' speed and convenience.
But does that still hold true in 2024?
Apparently, not. Miles Myerscough-Harris shot the Jests game on Portra, had it developed, and posted the results as the game continued.
I discuss this idea further on the blog: analog.cafe/comments/k676
What was the fastest film photo turnaround for you?

Growing up in Cumberland County, I never really felt at home. Something always felt off about living someplace the civil war came to โ that left scars on the area and took lives from local families โ yet still had assholes flying Confederate flags.
Saddens, but doesn't surprise, me when I go home to visit my mom and see Trump banners all over the damned place.
