"Julio" is collecting pipes that were used to water the cauliflower in Salinas CA. Once he's done another machine will dig under the rest of the plants that were left. So the next crop can be planted. #WeFeedYou

I have now seen multiple large art channels doing "use super cheap supplies!" videos on YouTube and, gosh darn it, they always go to Target to get these things! Clear and loving shots of the Target shopping basket and all. Naughty naughty undisclosed sponsorships from naughty naughty corporation

And a 3rd reminder that a transition to 100% WindWaterSolar across the US reduces land use due to energy from 2.4% of US land (1.16% occupied by the fossil-fuel industry and 1.24% occupied by the corn-ethanol industry) to ~0.85% of U.S. land, with most of this being open space between wind turbines

I cancelled my Disney this morning :)

It would be fucking amazing if folks gave their cancelled Disney+, WaPo, etc money to worker owned media! Those couple of dollars would make a genuinely huge difference to us. www.coyotemedia.org

You should do this instead of whatever huge thing you were going to do.

this is the most nonsensical way to sell a product, and the main reason i haven't bought tide in over a year

Sweet potato season is in full swing in Merced County CA. Workers sort the potatoes the machine digs up into large plastic bin - depending on size and variety. "Monica" shares, "My back and neck ache from bending over and organizing the potatoes into these deep bins". #WeFeedYou

the only thing that can get us out of this is kimmel situation is to do Comedian Expendables. i'm talking all-out geezer war: mel brooks throwing knives into foreheads. dick smothers firing an M-60 out of a huey. carol burnett somersaulting around a guy's neck and strangling him with a garotte

This is a feel-good story until you get to the part where 70% of other countries already do this on a national level. 🧪

So I'm going to be doing a Corsi-Rosenthal box build demonstration at the Oak Park library branch (San Diego) tomorrow at 3pm if anybody is interested. I will give away as much in materials as I can afford which is probably like 3 small boxes, but hopefully this will help someone, somewhere

Some food for thought: if you're reviewing a book & it has good, useful maps, say so in the review! And name the mapmaker if you can. Often, folks writing books don't know where to go for good maps. Making mention of them in your review helps everyone. #skystorians #midievalsky #historians

Do not put your name on a list of enemies of the regime that can be surveilled, subpoena'd, or stolen. Just do not.

1) don't RSVP for protests 2) organizations fundraise off their email lists. that's what this is. it's not signing a petition or publicly taking a stand 3) when Imani is trying to save you from yourself, LET HER 4) in my heart of hearts I know they just want to brag that they RSVP'd and then not go

I sometimes make wine from my Satsuma plums. I have made some that exploded (comparatively gently). It's an amateur hazard.

Q. Why is there a special election in the Minnesota House tonight? A. Because the Democrat who held the seat was assassinated in June. www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...

"Raul" is placing huge containers in between every other row. Once the harvest starts, workers will dump the grapes they pick into it, so they can be weighed and processed. He's happy that due to his UFW seniority he can work days and be home at night with his family. #WeFeedYou

It's Baby Safety Month.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

This little butterfly has a whopping 229 pairs of chromosomes! That is, I think, the most of any multicellular animal described so far. www.the-scientist.com/an-elusive-b...

California’s first solar-covered canal is now fully online. The 1.6-megawatt pilot system is among a growing number of initiatives to put solar over waterways. The approach could generate gigawatts of power nationwide. grist.org/energy/calif... #Water #Energy #Renewables #CA #California #Solar

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

i think what we have learned from the last 10 years is that the archetypal "principled conservative who just thinks government should be small and rights should be protected" does exist. there are just exactly five of them.

Kash Patel and Zohran Mamdani both being the children of expelled Gujarati Ugandans is a real "duality of man"

It's hilarious I have enough surgeries under my belt to have preferences about anesthesia & so on

Canal-covering solar arrays have the potential to curb evaporation while generating power, but still haven’t taken off. Can this new array in California’s Central Valley pave the way for more?

When you add in all of the publicly-owned water districts and state-owned canals in California, and top it off with extensive irrigation ditches.. It’s a whole lot more!

Need some motiv-ocean to leap into the weekend? 🐟 Leaping blennies are amazing amphibious fish who can launch themselves off rocks and into the air up to 50 times their body length. 🌊 These extraordinary terrestrial fish shore do know how to make a splash, both in and outside the water!

We have a big problem- for a big breadbasket nation, the US now grows surprisingly little food. We're now dependent on imports for basics like potatoes, ketchup, and even peanut butter. youtu.be/2uypc-c5-aA

"He reviled, belittled, and demeaned large numbers of my fellow Americans, but he was quite cordial to me" sets my teeth on edge.

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre. In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

📣California is finally closing the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC)—now we must make sure it’s done right. Join us in urging @governor.ca.gov to implement recommendations for releases and safe transfers throughout the closure process of the CRC. 📲 Action Toolkit here: bit.ly/crcclosure

We should melt all the guns down for high speed rail tracks.

perhaps spending the last several decades valorizing people who willingly decided to join the military so they could go to other countries and murder brown people as "heroes" was a mistake actually

As we enter fall, it's so important that we tell everyone to leave those leaves! Mads Torres designed a poster to help us. Lightning bugs are one of the most charismatic insects we've got. Actions we take to protect them protects many insects! Get some to hang in your neighborhood! Squidfacts.net

Olivia is one of millions of immigrant farmworkers who keep America fed. We met her at a legal clinic w/ @ufw.bsky.social where she shared how her work inspires her to fight for fair treatment for farmworkers. Behind every meal is a farmworker like Olivia who deserves safety, dignity & fair pay.

Governor announces New Mexico will now provide free universal child care

/4 SCOTUS has lost the presumption of regularity -- the mandate of the legal heavens -- through its shadow docket actions, which by invoking SCOTUS' equitable discretionary powers have obliterated the pretext that SCOTUS is merely calling balls and strikes, merely calling lines where they see them.

Acetaminophen remains a safe pain relief option during pregnancy. Despite recent unfounded claims, there’s no clear evidence linking prudent use to fetal development issues. ACOG's guidance remains. When needed in pregnancy, acetaminophen should be used in moderation, after consulting a doctor.

In the spirit of compromise, let’s tax these people at 80% like we used to instead of gutting, sautéing and eating them 👍🏼
