A new testing method makes for a clearer picture of the microbiome on the ISS. Lots of things there, nothing super surprising. It matches fairly closely to a gym or hospital. Important for long term space travel! microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
If you'd rather read something less technical, this is a decent breakdown of the paper without the "OMG DANGEROUS GERMS" I'm seeing on a lot of other articles. The most troubling finding here is the bacteria that can create biofilms and clog machinery.

Just ignore the STILL over-sensational headline.

Can't remember what flower this is, but it's pretty and blooming! It creeps and tumbles over the edge of my garden.
Edit: It's a calibrachoa which is supposed to be hardy to zone 9.

I'm zone 6a/b... I guess the mild winter and being close to the house?
OOOr I'm a doofus and got overly excited peering at old labels in the shed...

It's actually Sandwort - Arenaria montana

Data is good, things are complex, fees are better than bans. Lede is a bit misleading.

Related: Ireland charges 22 cents for each plastic bag. It has worked out well.

“As a result of the 15 cent fee (raised to 22 cent in 2007), annual bag usage dropped from almost 350 to 14 per person by 2012, and plastic bags now account for only 0.14 percent of total litter"

It's warming up, which means bugs and critter photos! Rescued this handsome lady Phiddipus audax (Bold Jumping Spider) from the bathroom. She probably overwintered in my indoor plants, and is now happily munching bugs in the garden. Definitely at least a full year old.
When young, they have orange/rusty markings, that fade to white as they age. Females get bigger than males, up to the 3/4" that this one was. The Phiddipus genus is known for being larger, and having the lovely metallic chelicerae you can see, in her case, green.
They tend to like the broadleaf plants, I think she was living in my clivia this winter. In my yard they are especially fond of the butterfly weed/milkweed though I also find them in my beans and tomatoes.

They spin webs only as anchor lines and to protect their eggs.

Thread on @dylanmatt's Vox piece on MMT (vox.com/future-perfect…):

It's long, so here goes:

1. Dylan’s clarification that many mainstream critics have been engaging with a strawman is much appreciated. The amount of uncritical echo chamber-esque repetition by journalists 1/n
of these strawman attacks has been disappointing, perhaps encapsulated most starkly when Fed Chair Powell was quoted as saying “MMT is just wrong” when in fact the “wrong” claim he was referring to was something no MMTer would ever claim.

2. Dylan is absolutely right about 2/n
3. the importance of MMT’s insights in emboldening the Democrats to stop being ‘suckers’ in debates with Republicans fiscal responsibility. This fits squarely with the history of deficit politics that @JoshuaMound explained here: jacobinmag.com/2017/07/trump-…. 3/n

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

1) I am convinced that some of our politicians nowadays are reading from a script.

Not of their own writing.
2) What follows are some excerpts from "Hostage to Khomeini" (1981) by Robert Dreyfuss, an investigative reporter.

For today's #TenThings, let's talk about MARKETING YOUR BOOK, especially as a debut.
1. There's
2. Nothing
3. In
4. Your
5. Power
6. That
7. Will
8. Make it a
9. Bestseller
10. Write the best possible book you can
Just kidding. Kinda? Let's talk about it.
The usual disclaimer applies: YMMV, my way is not the only way, everyone's journey is different. This advice is intended for new writers seeking traditional publication. I straight up can't speak to indie/self-publishing because I don't have experience there.
1. The key to all marketing endeavors is WRITING A GREAT BOOK. For real. A book that is compelling, beautifully written, and carefully revised will snag a passionate agent, sell to a quality publishing house in a bigger deal, and receive more marketing attention. Period.

Arsene Wenger by John Cross.

To understand the job Arsene Wenger has done, you first need to understand the club he was walking into back in 1996. And only then can you begin to appreciate the scale of his achievement and the transformation he has made.
Arsenal were looking for a new manager after one of the most turbulent periods in the club’s history. George Graham, a member of Arsenal’s 1971 Double-winning team, was sacked in February 1995 after a bung scandal, following revelations that he had taken unsolicited payments.
But his nine-year reign ended in disgrace and finished with a team in decline, a difficult dressing room run by egos, and a squad used to playing dull football which had revelled in the fans’ chant: ‘One-nil to the Arsenal.’
