I had an interesting conversation on here recently that made me realize that maybe not everyone who uses Mastodon knows that you can use filters as a way to add content warning to other people's posts?

It turns out that fungus growing termites sometimes cultivate Termitomyces titanicus. This is an excellent scientific name. It's a fungi farmed by termites (like ants they do not allow it to produce "fruiting bodies" or mushroom caps while the colony is active.) But when a colony dies it will produce a massive mushroom over a meter wide.
And you can eat it!
Hence the species name.
It's never really found just living on its own without ants to take care of it?
Ant keep it clean, set the correct humidity, feed it plant matter...
In fact, many antkeepers have tried to farm it (so they have extra fungi for their pet ants) and it's basically been impossible for people to do it, even with clean rooms, carefully cut leaves and humidity chambers.
It's totally dependent on ants.
Now... could it maybe float as spores and join an existing ant colony? Maybe? IDK
i used to work on this in grad school - hard fungus to collect!
The fungus packs the hyphal swelling that it feeds to the ants with enzymes to degrade plant material. The ants eat the hyphal swellings, and then defacate on fresh plant material as they bring it into a nest. This is perhaps one reason why the fungus can't live alone now - it needs the ants to pre-treat the leaves with these enzymes in order to grow efficiently. Bizarre stuff!

FYI, if you've already grabbed the 2.0.0 release for the new stable 2026.01 please go download it again. There was something that got missed in the Dark Mode stylesheets. I didn't bump the version since it was supposed to be part of this update, I just replaced the release with the fixed version.
This does not affect the release for the old stable 2024.12 version.

Running on solar this afternoon. So glad to have to rooftop panels up!
I've noticed about a dozen other homes in my conservative rural Virginia neighborhood doing the same, and the town rec center recently got a large rooftop system as well. It gives me hope that some things are still moving in the right direction, even in these dark times.

Older Australians struggling to find work before hitting the pension age
...Unemployment figures show that over the past three years, there has been a rise in the number of older Australians (55-64 years) who are out of work: from 2.7 per cent in June 2022 to July 2023, to 3.1 per cent in July 2024 to June 2025...
While the unemployment rate has risen across all ages (15-64 years) from 3.6 per cent to 4.2 per cent over the same period, older Australians find it harder to secure employment if they lose their job.
A report by Jobs and Skills Australia shows the average duration of unemployment for mature-age people stood at 86 weeks in June 2024 — more than double the 37 weeks recorded for 15- to 54-year-olds...
Older women are further disadvantaged and vulnerable to long-term unemployment, according to Associate Professor Foula Kopanidis from RMIT University School of Economics.
