Californian Firm Touts ‘Mushroom Leather’ as Sustainability Gamechanger – Slashdot (Me: almost every industrialized “natural” process signals imbalance to nature and nature then attempts to rebalance via viruses and bacteria that can also decimate people and other animals, insects, reptiles…)

Fine Mycelium, a patented material which can be grown from fungi in trays in a matter of weeks, replicates the appearance and feel of leather while outperforming it in strength and durability. The material recently made its high fashion debut as an exclusive HermÃs handbag. “It can give the same emotional response as an animal leather. It has that hand-feel of rarity,” says Scullin.

‘On the Run Again’: Has US White Supremacist Rob Rundo Returned to Serbia? – bellingcat

That afternoon, Rundo posted and then hastily deleted a photo of himself from his Telegram channel; Bellingcat was able to download it before it disappeared. One incomplete word of graffiti in that photo led Bellingcat to an apartment building in Belgrade, and right to Rundo himself. Despite being expelled and banned from Serbia — for three years, according to media reports — it looks like Robert Rundo is back in Belgrade, the country’s capital.

A photo posted on Robert Rundo’s Telegram channel of more than 10,000 followers at 4:38pm on November 8, 2021. This photo, along with four others, was deleted seven minutes later at 4:45pm

Although he was “on the run,” in the words of one of his international far-right comrades, Bellingcat observed Rundo walking openly in the neighbourhood around the apartment building, his face and recognisable tattoos on display.
