A plaque in Iceland
#climate change

A letter to the future
"Ok" is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier.
In the next 200 years, all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path.
This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done.
Only you know if we did it.

Ecology: Saprobic on the wood or woody debris of conifers, causing a white rot; sometimes growing from standing trees; growing alone, scattered, or gregariously; late summer and fall, or fall and winter in warmer climates; originally described from Slovenia; widely distributed in Europe, North America, Central America, the Caribbean, South America, Asia, and Oceania. The illustrated and described collections are from California and Michigan.

Cap: 2.5-5.5 cm across; tongue-shaped or kidney-shaped; broadly convex or flat; gelatinous but not slimy to the touch; smooth or finely fuzzy; translucent white to grayish, brown, or fairly dark brown; the margin tucked under when young.

Undersurface: Running down the stem; spines to 2 mm long; translucent white or pale grayish.

Stem: To 3 cm long; either lateral and stubby (when specimens are growing from the sides of logs) or well-developed and vertical (when specimens are growing from the tops of logs or from terrestrial woody debris); gelatinous; smooth; colored like the cap or paler.

Flesh: Translucent; gelatinous.

Odor: Not distinctive.

Spore Print: White.

Microscopic Features: Spores 6-7 x 5-7 m; subglobose to very broadly ellipsoid; smooth; hyaline in KOH; germinating by repetition. Probasidia 25 x 6 m; clavate. Basidia 10-12 x 10-20 m; subglobose/clavate; cruciate-septate; with 2 or 4 sterigmata 5-12 m long. Hyphae 2-3 m wide; smooth; hyaline in KOH; clamped at septa.

🧵1️⃣/2️⃣ The Internet Archive helped solve a 100-year-old conservation mystery.

Researchers discovered why some bowhead whale populations are recovering today from centuries of commercial whaling by using centuries-old Arctic whaling logbooks digitized by the New Bedford Whaling Museum and made accessible through the Internet Archive.

These logbooks remind us that preserved records don’t just document history: they unlock it for use today & tomorrow. 🔓

Good news. After massive public backlash from both retail & pension funds, S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that it will keep its existing eligibility requirements for benchmarks including the S&P 500, closing the door to fast entry for big tech IPOs like SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI and delaying billions of dollars in flows from passive funds. This is will save retail investors retirement savings going to scam companies.
