CW: Canadian Veterans' Cannabis
I'm not faulting Mark Carney for considering money spent on Medical Cannabis, since I believe it is overpriced, for insurance reasons.
But, politicians think in dollars, not in medical benefits.
It's not all dried flower, creams, tablets, capsulesIt costs $245 million for Veterans' medical cannabis and $63 billion for national defence: so, that corresponds to 0.389% of the spending money, that the government spent to get Military members injured, is spent to help them heal or improve. And the reduction now, gives me 60% of my prescription.
I don't think a Budget should reduce medical money for injured veterans while finally increasing the budget for the Military and NATO commitments. You have more injured veterans and you reduce the amount?
I'm not the only veteran PM Carney that is concerned. Letters have been written
https://www.ourcommons.ca/documentviewer/en/house/latest/hansard“The government is now claiming that Bill C‑15 will generate $4.23 billion in savings by reducing cannabis reimbursement rates for veterans. Let us look at the actual numbers. VAC spends roughly $200 million a year on medical cannabis. The government is cutting the reimbursement rate to 60%
That is roughly $50 million in annual savings.
Even over many years, the math does not come close to $4.23 billion. The government has not explained the gap.” — Hansard, House of Commons Debates, March 12, 2026.Bankers know these numbers?
There isn't a good excuse
PM Carney for this reduction, but I will tell you the spin-off costs. After 33 years of service, we were seeing less and less new recruits. The Canadian Armed Forces is under strength, and even with long hair and personal identity, recruitment is down1/15 complete recruitment, expecting to recruit 20K and not reaching 15k recruits is still a significant shortfall. We who have worked with these low numbers of personal, know how limited Canada is in Military strength.
Entice them a little? Tell them you will cut their benefits if they are injured https://forces.ca/en/
I'm third generation Military, it was all we ever knew. Folks that might consider joining, have asked me questions over the years, and I've encouraged others to join, and the conditions were not bad, and benefits were there.. Well, I thought they were. Mr Carney, you've disappointed Veterans. /FIN

CW: Mental health (struggling); plurality&
So many things to do. Not enough brain energy to do them all.
Resorting to desperate measures to try to deal with the emotional slump.
We've taken our regular morning meds as usual (1 x 40 mg lisdex at 07:15; 1 x 20 mg lisdex at 09:15), which allows us to function over the majority of the day.
However, we've also taken:
- 1x 200 mg micronised progesterone capsule.
- 1 x 30 mg codeine phosphate pill.
- 1 x 150 mg pregabalin capsule.
We are finding that pregabalin has very, very strong effects on us, particularly vs something like diazepam. It feels almost a bit like being drunk and/or slightly high. It seems to negatively impact vision (causing blurring) and co-ordination of all body parts, which makes typing more difficult and much slower. It does feel so much like it's calmed us, but rather like it's put a warm, cozy blanket around us, like a shield. And it's very much making us feel drowsy. Without the lisdex, we'd probably be asleep.
Going forward, we may need to only take pregabalin at night when going to bed, based on current effects. The means we'll have to rely on other meds during the day, sadly, for anxiety.
In terms of our regular tolerance to meds:
- Progesterone calms us, but doesn't make us sleepy or drunk, like some get when taking orally.
- Codeine works very well for blocking physical pain (especially in our hands and forehead) and has a calming effect on us.
- Diazepam calms and relaxes us. It doesn't have as strong an effect on us as others. We could pop a 10 mg diazepam along 30 mg of codeine phosphate and still be able to function normally and even drive normally and safely.
We're trying to keep our system stable today, as it feels a little like we've pushed ourselves too much helping, or at least trying to help, those who've asked for our help.
As a result, our system balance is off and we feel more broken; fractured.
The last time this happened, Isabella and Isabelli emerged. We went from a system of 2 to a system of 4.
We don't know what's going to happen. We know we cannot control it either. Whatever happens, happens.

Where can I find a list of (old) cellphones that adopted the USB Type-C® Audio Adapter Accessory Mode? Or does anyone knows which year this mode was abandoned by most cellphone manufacturers?
For the curious, that mode allowed to use D+ and D- data lines to transmit _analog_ audio between the user device and the cell phone (in&out). This mode is deprecated since oct 2024: now all mic/headphones accessories must have ADC/DAC inside them.

@darren [2/2]
We have another line edge print by Kollwitz, from 1919, The Mourner, darkly depicting a man paying his respect at the funeral of the revolutionary leader Karl Liebknecht. Liebknecht had been murdered by paramilitaries in final stages of the fevered time after the 1914-1918 war.
The print is from my late father's collection, it now hangs in our living room. My father was born a little after Liebknecht's death, he was drafted in to be a soldier in Russia as a very young man, and after 1945 he became an active Social Democrat to build a new democratic Germany. His poliitical positions were quite different from those of Karl Liebknecht two or three generations earlier. And yet, he felt a common cause, and the art of Käthe Kollwitz brought them together.
Good to meet a fellow Kollwitz friend here on Mastodon!

The Kernel and the Ark
I. The Wall and the Infinite
It is possible that the history of the modern West hinges on a single, melancholic misreading of Voltaire. When Candide, exhausted by the Lisbon earthquake and the brutalities of the Seven Years’ War, finally withdraws to the banks of the Propontis to utter his famous dictum—“Il faut cultiver notre jardin”—he is not proposing a program of agricultural management. He is issuing a plea for containment. To cultivate a garden, in the shadow of such overwhelming chaos, is an act of stoic resignation. It is an admission that the world is too vast, too violent, and too unintelligible to be governed by reason. One builds a wall against the infinite, and within that limited circumference, one tends to the soil. The garden is a refuge from nature.
Childe Hassam – The Island GardenYet, as the industrial century unfolded, this sentiment underwent a strange inversion. The humility of the retreat was lost, replaced by a technocratic ambition that saw the wall not as a limit, but as a prototype. The imperative shifted: it was no longer enough to carve out a sanctuary from the planetary wild; the logic of the garden was to be extended until it covered the earth entirely. The garden ceased to be a refuge and became a replacement.
We might trace the genealogy of this hubris—the architectural drift from the bounded plot to the total interior. It is a lineage that moves from the Victorian parlor terrarium to the Amazonian plantation, and finally to the hermetically sealed domes of the American desert. It suggests that the dominant form of the Anthropocene is not the city or the factory, but the Greenhouse: a glass ark designed to optimize life by severing it from its context.
Against this transparent, frictionless interior, a different topology emerges. It is not the pristine wilderness, which is a romantic fiction, but something denser, more obscure, and paradoxically more vital. It resembles the “thicket”—a space of entanglement and opacity where the metabolic resistance to simplification can still be found. To understand why the thicket has become a necessary philosophical posture, one must first walk the perimeter of the glass house we have built around ourselves.
II. The Portable Climate
Control, it seems, begins with isolation. Before a system can be optimized, it must be severed from the noise of its environment. In the history of botany, this severance was achieved not by a grand theorist, but by a London surgeon named Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward, who, in 1829, found himself frustrated by the industrial smog of Whitechapel.
Ward’s ferns were dying, choked by the soot of the coal age. His discovery was accidental: while observing a sphinx moth pupa buried in a sealed glass jar containing damp soil, he noticed a quiet miracle. The fern spores within the soil had sprouted. Moisture evaporated from the earth, condensed on the cold glass, and wept back down in a closed hydrological loop. The fern thrived, suspended in a permanent, self-sufficient spring, protected from the London fog by a skin of glass.
This device, the Wardian Case, appears initially as a trivial curiosity of the Victorian parlor. Yet it functioned as the first space capsule. Before the glass case, the botanical world was defined by the tyranny of the local. Plants were bound to their terroir; they could not easily cross the climatic abyss of the oceans without perishing from salt spray or temperature shock. Nature was situated. The Wardian case smashed this locality. It created a portable micro-climate, a fragment of the English garden that could survive the equator, or a slice of the tropics that could endure the North Sea.
The British Empire, always attuned to the logistics of extraction, immediately recognized the power of this portable interior. The case allowed biological life to be stripped of its ecological web and transported as pure genetic capital. In 1848, Robert Fortune utilized these glass arks to smuggle twenty thousand tea plants from Shanghai to the Himalayas, breaking the Chinese monopoly and inaugurating the Indian tea industry. Decades later, Henry Wickham would carry Hevea brasiliensis seeds from Brazil to Kew Gardens, and thence to Malaya, an act of biological relocation that would collapse the Amazonian rubber boom and fuel the coming automobile age.
There is a profound shift in ontology here. The plant inside the case is no longer an organism in conversation with its environment; it has become a “generic input,” severed from the specificities of wind, soil, and insect life. This marks the onset of a biological imperialism where the “garden” is no longer a place one visits, but a box one ships. It represents the victory of the grid over the ocean, the smooth logistics of empire over the rough friction of the earth.
And yet, the closure was never complete. The soil inside those cases carried more than the intended crop; it held what historians call “portmanteau biota”—ants, fungi, earthworms, and weeds. The empire believed it was moving tea, but it was also moving the feral. The “crazy ant” (Paratrechina longicornis) hitched a ride in these portable interiors, beginning a global insurgency that persists to this day. The glass ark, designed to exclude the chaotic outside, had already smuggled the chaos within.
III. The Geometry of the Plantation
If the Wardian case was the molecular unit of this logic, the early twentieth century saw its expansion into a totalizing landscape. The ambition was no longer merely to transport plants, but to rationalize the very environment in which they grew—to smooth out the “thicket” of the world into a legible, productive surface. This is the logic of what Timothy Morton has termed agrilogistics: the ancient program to eliminate contradiction and enforce a monoculture of presence.
The apotheosis of this drive is found in Fordlandia. In 1928, Henry Ford, seeking to break the British rubber monopoly, purchased 2.5 million acres of the Amazon rainforest. He did not see a complex, metabolic web; he saw a disorder to be rectified. He attempted to overlay the industrial grid of Detroit onto the biological density of Brazil.
Fordlandia was less a farm than a moral project. Ford, who despised the “messiness” of history and the disorderly lives of his workforce, sought a clean slate. His engineers cleared the jungle—a thicket of unimaginable complexity—and planted rubber trees in tight, geometric rows. They imposed the discipline of the factory clock, the nutritional regime of oatmeal, and the social ritual of square dancing upon indigenous workers. The land was treated as a terraformed plain, the rubber tree as a standardized cog that would function identically regardless of its context.
But Hevea has a specific terroir. In the wild, rubber trees space themselves out, a natural distancing that serves as an immune system against the South American Leaf Blight (Microcyclus ulei). The distance is the friction that stops the pathogen. By collapsing this distance, by planting the trees in the smooth, efficient rows of the industrial grid, Ford created a banquet for the fungus.
The thicket struck back. The blight moved effortlessly along the vectors of the plantation. The friction of biodiversity had been removed, leaving the path clear for the pathogen. Ford poured capital into pesticides, but the “liveness” of the fungus—its capacity to metabolize the static monoculture—was superior to the dead geometry of the plan.
Fordlandia stands as a parable of the “average.” It illustrates the failure of scaling. One cannot scale terroir without stripping it of its defenses. When a “kernel”—a specific life in a specific context—is treated as a “cog,” it becomes a zombie system: structurally fragile, waiting for the first shock to induce collapse. The attempt to average out the Amazon failed because liveness is inherently non-scalable; it relies on the very friction that the grid seeks to eliminate.
IV. The World Interior of Capital
The failure of the plantation did not arrest the desire for enclosure; it merely drove it indoors. In the post-war era, facing the twin specters of nuclear annihilation and ecological exhaustion, the West embraced the metaphor of “Spaceship Earth.” Popularized by Buckminster Fuller, this concept reimagined the planet not as a mother, but as a vehicle—a mechanical artifact with finite resources, an operating manual, and a need for a pilot.
Fuller’s architectural response was the geodesic dome. He envisioned domes spanning midtown Manhattan to regulate the weather, and “Cloud Nine” spheres floating in the sky, severing humanity entirely from the earth’s crust. This marks the transition to what Peter Sloterdijk calls the “World Interior of Capital.” We ceased to live on the earth and began to live inside a climate-controlled sphere. The shopping mall, the office tower, the sealed automobile—these are foams, interconnected bubbles of immunity where the atmosphere is conditioned and the outside is held at bay.
This logic reached its terminal velocity in 1991 with Biosphere 2. A literal attempt to build a total garden, it was a hermetically sealed glass box in the Arizona desert, containing a miniature rainforest, an ocean, and a desert, along with eight humans. It was designed to prove the viability of a “closed loop” system, a portable world for the colonization of Mars.
Its failure was instructive. The oxygen levels inside the dome plummeted, not because of a mechanical leak, but because the concrete structure itself began to absorb carbon dioxide, starving the plants. The dead matter of the architecture was eating the air. Simultaneously, the “noble” species—hummingbirds and bees—perished, while the feral species exploded. The same crazy ants that had traveled in the Wardian cases overran the facility. Cockroaches multiplied. Morning glory vines choked the curated rainforest.
The human element fared no better. The “crew,” trapped in the smooth proximity of the enclosure, devolved into factionalism. The psychological friction of a world without an “outside” proved unbearable. Biosphere 2 demonstrated that smoothness is chemically and socially unstable. The total interior is a death trap because it lacks the metabolic capacity of the outside. By attempting to eliminate the “weed,” the designers destroyed the immune system of the whole. The ants won because they were the only inhabitants adapted to the high-friction reality of the thicket.
V. The Monoculture of the Sky
We arrive, finally, at the present moment, where the ambition of enclosure has ascended to the stratosphere. Having failed to contain the world in a box, the technocratic impulse has turned to the project of turning the world itself into the box.
This is the logic underpinning geoengineering and Solar Radiation Management. Proposals to inject sulfate aerosols into the upper atmosphere to deflect sunlight represent the ultimate Wardian case. They treat the atmosphere not as a chaotic, sublime force, but as a glazing—a roof whose opacity can be adjusted like a dimmer switch. The planet becomes a single, managed interior.
The risks of such a project—”termination shock,” where a cessation of spraying unleashes accumulated heat in a sudden, lethal wave—are well documented. But the philosophical implication is perhaps even more chilling. As John von Neumann warned decades ago, weather control merges the affairs of every nation. It eliminates the “outside” entirely. There is no longer British weather or Brazilian weather; there is only The System.
This is the realization of the terraformed plain. It is a world where the “dark forest” has been illuminated and managed, where the sun itself is converted into a utility, and where the planet becomes a monoculture of the sky.
VI. The Strategy of the Briar Patch
If the trajectory of modernity is the construction of a fragile, optimized glass ark, where does one find a footing? We cannot return to Voltaire’s garden; the walls are too brittle to hold back the flood. Nor can we resign ourselves to the suffocating interior of Fuller’s dome.
The alternative lies in the texture of the thicket.
In the folklore of the American South, there is the story of Br’er Rabbit and the Briar Patch. When captured by the Fox, the Rabbit pleads, “Don’t throw me in the briar patch!” The Fox, operating on the logic of the predator who prefers the open field, views the briar patch as a torture device—thorny, messy, illegible. He throws the Rabbit in, expecting him to be shredded. But the Rabbit was born in the briar patch. The thorns that cut the Fox are the Rabbit’s defense system.
The modern Fox is the algorithm, the market, the scraper seeking legible data. It desires smoothness. The briar patch represents the local context, the dense history, the “terroir” that resists easy summarization. The thicket is not a retreat into nature, but a strategic niche. It suggests that to survive the simplifying gaze of the machine, one must become “high-friction.”
This requires a redefinition of “liveness.” Liveness is not mere novelty; it is metabolic capacity. The glass ark is a zombie system—a closed loop where inputs equal outputs, preserving form but preventing transformation. The thicket, by contrast, is a fermenter. It takes generic energy—shocks, news, pain—and metabolizes it through a specific kernel to produce something singular.
We see this in the difference between a product and a practice. If one moves a global franchise from Seattle to Singapore, it functions perfectly because it is dead; it is a product, severed from place. If one attempts to move a philosophy like Fichte’s from the salons of Jena to a corporate boardroom, it withers. It requires the nutrient density of its specific scene to survive. It is alive because it is entangled.
Gilles Clément, the French gardener, offers a vocabulary for this posture. He speaks of the “Planetary Garden” not as a machine to be controlled, but as a “Garden in Motion.” He directs our attention to the “Third Landscape”—the roadside verges, the abandoned lots, the scrublands. These are the thickets. They are the reservoirs of genetic diversity where the unscripted life, banished from the monoculture, continues to evolve.
VII. A Gesture Toward the Weed
The history of the West has been a long war against the weed. We built glass cases to distinguish the valuable specimen from the unwanted intruder. We cleared the Amazon to impose the average. We networked the globe to smooth out the friction of distance.
Yet the weed—the superweed that drinks poison and thrives—remains the victor. The thicket is the inevitable return of complexity to a system that tries to simplify it.
The task, then, is not to build a better glass house, but to learn the habits of the briar patch. It is a call to abandon the pursuit of the fragile, legible career or identity—the “glass ark” of the self—and to cultivate a life of density and opacity. To be a fermenter rather than a node. To seek resonance rather than scale.
In a world that seeks to turn every subject into a cog within a planetary spaceship, the most radical act is to become an un-weedingable root—a kernel of such high-dimensional specificity that the algorithm chokes trying to digest it. We should not simply cultivate our garden. We should allow the fence to rot, and watch what grows in the clearing.

The Best of FYFD 2025
Happy 2026! This will be a big year for me. I’ll be finishing up and turning in the manuscript for my first book — which flows between cutting edge research, scientists’ stories, and the societal impacts of fluid physics. It’s a culmination of 15 years of FYFD, rendered into narrative. I’m so excited to share it with you when it’s published in 2027.
As always, though, we’ll kick off the year with a look back at some of FYFD’s most popular posts of 2025. (You can find previous editions, too, for 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014.) Without further ado, here they are:
- Charged Drops Don’t Splash
- Strata of Starlings
- Espresso in Slow-Mo
- The Incredible Engineering of the Alhambra
- Uranus Emits More Than Thought1
- Kolmogorov Turbulence
- Bow Shock Instability
- How Particles Affect Melting Ice
- The Puquios System of Nazca
- Cooling Tower Demolition
- A Glimpse of the Solar Wind
- Bubbling Up
- A Sprite From Orbit
- Cornflower Roots Growing
- How Sunflowers Follow the Sun
What a great bunch of topics! I’m especially happy to see so many research and research-adjacent posts were popular. And a couple of history-related posts; I don’t write those too often, but I love them for showing just how wide-ranging fluid physics can be.
Interested in keeping up with FYFD in 2026? There are lots of ways to follow along so that you don’t miss a post.

I am embarrassed to say that this pantsuit still had tags and was never worn.
A small tag with an interesting location. I was shocked to see "Made in Ukraine". Something I would NOT have glanced at 20 years ago.
This suit carries the quiet marks of the 1990s & 100% polyester, built to last, wrinkle-resistant, and ready for everything. The tag tells its own journey: Made in Ukraine, part of the #global #textile shift of the late 20th century when #clothing production spread across the world. All but gone today.
Sometimes the smallest label is a little time capsule stitched into fabric. Who would have guessed that I clean out my closet to find a garment made in now war torn Ukraine.

Took Somni8 herbal sleeping capsules these past 3 days to adjust my schedule. Results below. Not sponsored, just wanna share with anyone who may need help with sleep adjusting :)
Day 1: worked in an hour, relaxed and sleep was easy. Relieved to wake up daylight hours
Day 2: 2 hours later, it's not working maybe coz i was stressed. Groggy next day, overslept
Day 3: worked after 90 mins. slept soundly. Woke up 2 hours early before alarm and surprisingly energizedHas 500 mcg melatonin, small amounts of chamomile, passion flower, skullcup, magnesium; made by New Roots Herbal, it's an OTC (over the counter). Took 1 capsule but recommended dose is between 1 to 4. Family recommended this to me based on good results previously.
For context: my sleep schedule has been disturbed by a very sick senior rescue cat who I have been taking care of the past month so I would sleep in daytime more than night time (not good, i know) but i had to take care of my feline friend. #sleephygiene

Patriarchs In Black – Home Review
By Saunders
Random dunks into the promo sump yield a variety of interesting, if uneven results. The element of risk and getting lumped with an unlistenable dud is counteracted by the odd chance of scooping up an unheralded stunner, or the next big thing. New York/New Jersey duo of scene veterans Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction) and Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative, Quiet Riot, Danzig) formed Patriarchs In Black several years back. Despite a relatively short career, the duo, armed with various guest musicians and vocalists, arrive at their fourth album, simply titled Home. Featuring an array of well-known and lesser-known guests, it almost feels like a compilation rather than a traditional album. This is especially evident through the varied musical terrain the seasoned vets traverse, exploring diverse and occasionally questionable musical territory with impressive ambition and a broad sense of adventure. Can this genre-hopping, vocal-swapping fest hit the mark and result in a compelling and cohesive listening experience?
Home is an odd duck album, both adventurous and perplexing. At nearly an hour in length, Patriarchs in Black cram tons of material and excessive ideas into its weighty runtime, featuring a colorful cast of supporting characters, predominantly filling the restlessly shifting vocal duties. Musically, Lorenzo and Kelly boast big match experience and tight, punchy chops as they hyperactively shift between genres. The album fits both comfortably and loosely under the stoner/doom metal banner, yet this label only scratches the surface of the band’s repertoire. Elements of hard rock, southern rock, blues, nü, modern alt rock/metal, rap rock, and a swathe of ’80s and ’90s metal influences, lending retro flavors to the more contemporary and streamlined modern rock and metal tropes. It’s the old everything but the kitchen sink approach for better and worse.
A snapshot of the guest vocalists finds contributions from Mark Sunshine (Unida, RiotGod), Kyle Thomas (Exhorder, Alabama Thunderpussy), Karl Agell (ex-Corrosion of Conformity, Legions of Doom), Dewey Bragg (Kill Devil Hill), John Kosco (Dropbox) and Rob Traynor (Black Water Rising) amongst others. Sunshine’s impressive pipes feature most prominently, including channeling Axl Rose and Chris Cornell on the sludgy, grungy groove of “Burn Through Time,” while adding some melodramatic theatrics with mixed results on “Celestial Yard.” Opener “Hymns for the Heretic” benefits from the well-worn grit of Kyle Thomas’s vox, pairing with infectiously bluesy, heavy rock-drenched riffage and fat stoner grooves. “The Call” keeps momentum rolling, as veteran Agell punches out an inspired performance atop a beefy and melancholic doomy rock base. “Storm King” is another gritty, noteworthy cut, riding some infectious, Clutch-esque grooves, featuring booming riffs and vocal grunt. Shit gets decidedly weirder as the strange journey hits some left-field bumps. “Kaos” livens energy and aggression, throwing down some angsty, goofy vox and meatheaded grooves to jarring, nü metal-adjacent effect. There are ill-advised, lamely executed rap rock ditties (“Where You Think You’re Going,” “Ready to Die”), and a decent modern blues rock number (“Enough of You”) that sounds awkwardly out of place, even by the album’s haphazard standards.
Throw in a couple of overcooked songs lengthwise, and short, questionable interludes, including the jokey “The End,” a fittingly silly way to climax the album, and you are left with a unique and strange album. Home has fun elements and a handful of enjoyably groovy tunes and inspired vocal additions. Lorenzo and Kelly are skilled, seasoned musicians, sounding as though they are having loads of fun across intersecting and occasionally disparate genres, excelling most when delivering thick, bluesy stoner doom riffs and swaggering grooves. Unfortunately for all its charms and oddities, Home remains hamstrung by numerous less-than-stellar factors bogging it down. The length and choppy nature of the writing song-to-song makes for an overloaded, inconsistent and messy front-to-back listen. And while never dull, it’s an exhausting listen, marred by sizable missteps and too many clunky moments to overcome.
One of the more intriguing albums I’ve heard in 2025, Home is an odd curiosity that could eventually fit into a time capsule equivalent of ’90s Metal Weirdness. While there are solid tunes and cool jams scattered across the album, the pros are dragged down by the cons. Entertaining and confounding in nearly equal measures, Home is hampered by considerable bloat, clunky flow and ill-advised experiments and stylistic decisions, resulting in a curious, if sadly mixed bag collection. Worth a listen to cherry-pick the gems, but prepare yourself for a rocky journey.
