Every year, a bunch of us go to this amazing spot in Wales, hire an Airbnb, pick shrooms in the mountains all day, then go home and brew them all up in tea.

The foraging itself is just such a lovely way to spend a few hours. It's very peaceful, and you really have an opportunity to have some great conversations, or just be alone with your thoughts while focusing on a simple activity. Plus, you know, if you have a successful day then you can get delightfully high in the evening as well.

God bless whichever of our ancestors that went through possibly the first actual scientific investigation at some point in prehistory to work out which of the weird things under the trees taste nice, which kill you in abject agony, and which let you talk to a 9-armed forest spirit who explains the nature of the universe.

Max Schrems - the guy behind noyb.eu and thorn in the side of Zuckerberg and facebook not facebook meta has just referred the entire Irish Data Protection Commission to the Austrian police's corruption department because they've effectively told him, as party to a case against Facebook, to sign an NDA or be removed from the case entirely - and then they actually removed him.

Where he's based. Also it's fast becoming clear that Ireland are an almost textbook example of regulatory capture and the Commission are going to have to step in. The principle of 'wherever they're based, that country''s DPC will deal with it' is clearly broken.

foraging for mushrooms is cool and incredibly relaxing, but probably best done under supervision of someone who is familiar with what grows in the foraging area of choice, at least for the first several times. that said, i know quite a few people who forage for own consumption (though none of them live in the UK) and none of them have died from food poisoning yet, so i'd say it's safe enough :v:

Yeah through my work I've seen how terrified the regulators are of upsetting the big multinationals.
An exec from Apple, Facebook or any of them could probably walk into a regulators office, gun down a random employee and have the management asking them if they need a hand to cover it up.

They walk on eggshells not to upset them. But of course it's a top down practice, they are taught to be that way by the politicians who run the country.

My buddy I mentioned upthread is getting well into mushroom hunting. Not just the magic ones, it sounds like a cool hobby in general & I'm gutted I've been too busy to head out with him. There's loads of delicious edible ones about, but you can also just like, go looking at cool mushrooms, take some pictures, then go home & get a book out & learn about what you found.

Here's some of the mushroom photos I've been sent lately:
