It's so cool how current research into mycorrhizal networks talks about plants and fungi communicating, making decisions and engaging in "dialogue" because there is really no other way to describe it

They each have so many, like potentially hundreds, of different chemicals produced as signals to their symbionts

what really fucks me up though is the paper i read this morning talking about plants' decision making in balancing their immune response against pathogens vs. their need to form symbiosis with beneficial organisms. Basically plants have to distinguish between helpful symbionts and parasites and they have to actively initiate symbiosis with one while producing an immune response against the other. The paper was saying that this decision making process would have to be like a series of logic gates. excuse me are you saying that PLANT is COMPUTER.

We need to bring back the athletics body type post

Abolish Tesla.

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

My brother in law recently became a veterinarian and it has really driven the point home as to how fucking bonkers veterinary medicine is. We don't expect human physicians to really know much outside of their own specialty - a dentist, an otolaryngologist, and a maxillofacial surgeon are three totally different dudes. Meanwhile a veterinarian at a wildlife rehab center is doing orthopedic surgery on a hawk and then doing rounds on baby hedgehogs in the hedgehog NICU and administering antibiotics to a ratsnake. And he also knows how to perform surgical interventions on a cow! What the fuck! Those are all totally, wildly different kinds of animal!!

Shout out to veterinarians, they know Too Much.
