My bush experiments. I rescued these three from various horrible places inside rusty fences I was removing and/or choked with Virginia creeper. Planted them here to see what happens. They looked pretty dead for a while, but two out of three are alive and produced new leaves and twigs. One gooseberry and one rosehip. Particularly happy about the rosehip surviving. Makes nice filling for Krapfen. Or winter bird food. The fruit stays on the bush long after frost and snow. The other half of the gooseberry bush was completely dead and I dug out the roots, which were rotten. Two out of three ain't bad though. Edit: Can't remember my berries. #Garden #Bush #Experiment #Homestead

Today on NovaLandia: "VAL3R1E: The AI Assisted Music Project, and What's This All About?" So, I'm sure a lot of people, or at least some people, remain apprehensive. Some probably angry, banging their fists against a wall, plopping some deuces on the ground, or what-have-you. That's fine, ... https://mkultra.monster/music/2026/08/11/val3r1e-explained/ #ai #experiment #fediverse #llms #bluesky

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐘💩 In a 15-year field #experiment at #Mpala, #Kenya, researchers built fences to keep #elephants out and watched what happened. Without elephant dung to eat, dung #beetle populations collapsed, resulting in 23% fewer species and 67% fewer individuals. The #study, led by Finote Gijsman, is the first large-scale #demonstration that protecting elephants also protects everything that depends on them. 👉 https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2026/06/removal-of-african-elephants-causes-coextinction-of-dung-beetles-study-finds/ #dungbeetles #ecology #conservation #savanna #ecosystem #insects #biodiversity #science #africa

I've been thinking all week about the work that @kandid@chaos.social published last week. The spiral is particularly fetching. I want it to see it rotating and tried animating it, but it turns out that the barber-pole illusion makes it very difficult. (https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2121451#:~:text=When%20the%20cylinder%20rotates%20about%20its%20axis%2C,a%20rectangular%20modulator%2C%20so%20that%20the%20motion) This is just a test. Again, the original picture is by @kandid@chaos.social. Kudos to Thomas for his wonderful work. https://elk.zone/chaos.social/@kandid/116268302802168347 #cavalry #animation #experiment
