"The dark edges between the thalli are called the prothallus, and are where the fungal partner is present without the algal partner" โ Dr. Mike Simms, Lichenologist, personal correspondence.
The searching fungi draws borders on stone.
Pen and ink drawing of 'Fuscidea cyathoides', growing on quartzite, Inishowen peninsula, Ireland, as part of an art-research residency with Artlink Fort Dunree, throughout 2022
A lichen that is coloniser and collaborator, teaching me something about porous edges and permeable places. Apparently, after growing for thousands of years, they create spaces where they (co)exist.
There is a lot to unpick here, and a lot to learn.
Servius' list of the Pignora Imperii shoud be corrected, according to Falconet: I am convinced that instead of acus matris Deum, one should read caus, the same word as cautes.

The first item on the list: "The needle of the Mother of the Gods (Acus Matris Deum), kept in the Temple of Cybele on the Palatine Hill."
No not a needle, but a stone, indeed, a meteorite.
What Elon Musk is doing with Twitter and journalism is a dominance ritual much like the ones the 45th POTUS was pulling. The best response is to leave Twitter and ignore the Mediocre Bond Villain #MBV.

Art Trend of 2022: How AI Art Emerged and Polarized the Art World
Artificial intelligence has been around for years, but AI-generated artwork has really taken off in 2022. With its growing presence and its rise in implementation, AI has proven to be a powerful yet controversial tool in the art world. Its use leads many to ask several questions: Is it art? Is it cheating? And who does the credit go to?

Arenโt we lucky that some guy in Germany decided to spend his own time, money, and effort to build it?
Hopefully weโll get lucky againโฆ
Or, you know, maybe we can finally consider supporting tech thatโs in the common good from the common purse. And fund organisations and long-term development, not just ad-hoc academic โprojectsโ that get abandoned the moment the money is gone.

The Future of Internet Regulation at the European Parliament
A brief write-up of my talk at the EU Parliament last week with embedded videos of my talk and a link to my slides.Aral Balkan
Unless Iโm mistaken, not until it was up and running. Please correct me if Iโm wrong @Gargron. Did you receive any EU funding for Mastodon at the start and is there an ongoing/permanent funding stream from them thatโs not based on implementing certain features/specific deliverables?
(Because there should be.)
@Gargron @violetathena @NGIZero
I encourage you to get more funding because you need to face growth, exponential growth. And all on AWS will not make it on the long run.
@Gargron @violetathena @NGIZero Thanks, Eugen.
Thatโs exactly the issue Iโve raised twice at the European Parliament now. That we need funding for organisations not features and we need it at the start, not after itโs impossible to ignore that something works and is being used (because not everyone can or should have to undertake the burden of getting to that point by themselves. Some of us do, but if we require that as a rite of passage weโre going to limit the potential for alternatives.)
