This is really beautiful, interesting and important at the same time.
SPUN: *A hidden infrastructure*
➡️ Underground networks
"Beneath our feet lie networks of invisible ecosystem engineers: arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi.
These fungi form trading relationships with more than 70% of plant species, building networks of tubular cells called hyphae that extend the surface area of root systems up to a hundred-fold.
Collectively, these networks comprise one of Earth's circulatory systems." ➡️

#PPOD: Over the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica, winds can whip around the globe relatively unimpeded by land. Intrepid sailors termed these southern latitudes the Roaring Forties, Furious Fifties, and Screaming Sixties on account of the strong prevailing winds. When those winds encounter a barrier like an island, the disruption in airflow can be beautiful. One impediment, shown here, is remote Peter I Island. Credit: NASA Earth Observatory/Michala Garrison

There’s a river of molten rock flowing 1,400 miles below the Pacific Ocean in the Earth’s outer core, which is an important part of the planet’s magnetic field. Should we be concerned the river just changed directions? Read more from @sciencefocus@flipboard.com:

A new paper published last week suggests that 15% of human-driven global warming comes from indirect drivers such as carbon monoxide, non-methane volatile organic compounds, and black carbon (soot). Read more from Inside Climate News, including why integrating carbon monoxide and other contributors into policy will be an uphill battle:

There is an alternative to climate breakdown, political extremism, and economic tensions.
A set of bold policy proposals, including hefty wealth taxes on billionaires, sharp reductions in working hours, a change in diets and a shift of investment from materially intense sectors, such as industry and mining, to education and health.
If these and other measures are taken the incomes of 89% of the world’s population would double by 2100 and global heating would be kept below 2C (3.6F) over the preindustrial average.
This vision provides a positive alternative to the grim projections from far-right techno extractivists, nationalists and billionaires who claim the future will inevitably bring more fossil fuels, climate disruption and inequality.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🍄🌍 Scientists mapped arbuscular #mycorrhizal #fungi – the #underground fungal threads that connect #plant roots.
Analyzing over 16,000 #soil cores from 322 studies, they found the network stretches 110 quadrillion(!) km in the topsoil, long enough to reach the #Sun nearly a billion times. #Grasslands and #prairies hold the densest networks, while #farming reduces fungal density by nearly half.

Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest. I’m single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure. ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone. Also, I refuse to use Donald’s last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

Cancer jab can eradicate entire tumours in patients, trial shows
Doctors have hailed “unprecedented” trial results that show a triple-action cancer jab can eradicate entire tumours in patients.
In an international trial spanning 11 countries, the injection was offered to patients whose cancer had spread or come back and whose disease had failed to respond to other treatments.
The jab, called amivantamab, shrank the tumours of more than a third of patients, with dramatic changes seen within weeks. In 15 of them, doctors found the drug had melted away their tumours altogether.
Kevin Harrington, professor in biological cancer therapies at the Institute of Cancer Research, London (ICR), said: “These are unprecedentedly strong responses in patients whose disease has become resistant to both chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
