Hoping to find some cool weather #fungifriends up in NC this weekend. These are Yellow Patches Amanitas from one of the most mushroom-inundated walks I’ve ever taken, back in August. Happy #FungiFriday!

#frankensteinfriday - 4 faces of Universal’s Frankenstein Monster. Boris Karloff starred in the first three films, Lon Chaney Jr the next, then Bela Lugosi, & finally Glenn Strange for the last three. Everyone has a favorite - how would you rank them? For me:
• Karloff
• Strange
• Chaney
• Lugosi
• Karloff
• Strange
• Chaney
• Lugosi

Throughout history, people have pitted town & country against each other. Where does this dynamic come from? And how do we transcend it?
In this two-part episode, @georgemonbiot.bsky.social joins us to explore these questions & more.

#40 in a series - Hollywood starlets in Halloween shoots, a tradition I’d love to see return. Audrey Young was under contract with Paramount, unfortunately never getting major roles. Today she’s mainly remembered as the wife of Billy Wilder; a shame, as she was also a talented big band singer.

I find the glee here about making thousands of hard working NHS staff redundant - and simultaneously therefore ensuring that clinical staff's workloads are increased even further with administration tasks they didn't sign up for - both tone deaf and distasteful.

New nightmare fuel just dropped.
A gigantic spiderweb was recently discovered in an underwater cave on the Greece-Albania border.
The web spans about 1,000 square feet and houses more than 110,000 spiders.
TBH, the underwater cave feels like overkill.
