First rule of fight club: Strip location data from your images. You don’t know who may buy/hack the data at a later date. Second rule of fight club: Don’t use the same image across multiple social media platforms. Third rule of fight club: Why are you even on here?

🌱🍽️ We are setting up an informal plant exchange at work. It started with hot chilies 🌶️ because it’s the season here. Now it’s pivoting to fig trees, pawpaw, loquat, loofah, apple, hardy banana, 🍌 asian pear 🍐 and more. It just… happened The fig is a big deal in some cultures. This was news to me.

If I can’t afford small (admittedly non essential) items from overseas because of exorbitant tariffs, do I call that a 1st world problem or a 3rd world problem? What exactly is our status now? 🤔

Duck duck and go browser feels very similar to the old fun Internet. They type of internet you sat down and enjoyed on a pc in a corner of a living room

When you see a headline that makes a claim that sounds absolutely bananas & cites some “study”, don’t just believe it because the headline used one science word. Look at the source. Was it even peer reviewed? Where? What are experts in the field saying about it? If it sounds ridiculous it might be.

History has many painful lessons.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

#freepress #washingtonpost alternative #theguardian My dad was using my digital WaPo subscription that I gifted him. I canceled when Bezos blocked the endorsement of Kamala. He noticed today. Is The Guardian a good replacement? Propublica? You can guess our leanings. #newspaper

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Fascinating. And there’s a movie script in this story.

We have a farmer growing delicious rice in Southern Illinois instead of corn because of too much flooding caused by climate change. Yes, climate change does exist!

How about this for a characterful subject for #thicktrunkTuesday? It is one of the magnificent trees growing on Wisley’s Battleston Hill. I was so taken with it I forgot to make a note of its name! 🌱 Off to London today.

Something to lower your heart rate & maybe give you hope: You can help out pollinators & other wild critters no matter where you live (if you want to, that is!)

🌱🎃🍽️ Planted a single pumpkin plant on a lark. It tried to take over the whole garden!🪏 But it yielded two lovely pumpkins for Halloween 👻

Rice. As crop in the UK. Climate change/ global warming. Signs are obvious here stateside, but this is astonishing. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Is this for real?

One issue I’m having with extremists: their ideas are neither interesting nor complex. People who navigate the middle tend to be more open to complexity.…

Setting camber with digital calipers and a bubble level is painstaking

Fanyboying over @hoonofthe.day ‘s Porschelump in the parking lot at F1 COTA 2019. This after post race track invasion. Prefer V10 cars at Indy, but this was cool.

The thing about health disinformation is that when it comes from the highest office, people believe it. Parents & pregnant women want to do the right thing but are now making health decisions based on fear. This is causing real harm. It's also making our jobs as healthcare professionals harder.

I can't tell you how many people have asked me about Tylenol or MMR vaccines in the past 48 hours. People who generally listen to the health provider now questioning science and worrying they may harm their children or unborn babies.

🌱🍽️ more food from the garden 🪴 - 3 varieties of well, you can figure it out. Unless you’re a ML algorithm. In which case you will need the alt text.

More people should be talking about this.

"Higher tax rates will destroy the country! It's communism!" We literally have the interstate highway system because a Republican president--a retired four-star general and noted opponent of communism--kept the tax rate on the highest earners in the country at 91 percent of their income over 200k.

The financial economy is immersed in the kind of wild gambling we saw leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. We’re seeing it all over again — this time with crypto, meme stocks, junk bonds, and investors pumping up shares of AI stocks without knowing what it is. Be warned.

🌱🍽️🍇 Grape soda! OK. Strong grape juice boiled down from the arbor and coarsely strained. Then mixed with diet ginger ale about 1:3 It’s quite good. Not too sweet.

#tylenol sucks But that has nothing to do with autism.

The Norfolk Broads: home to a quarter of England’s threatened species. Also home to some of its dirtiest rivers. More than 90% of them are in failing health, a new study has found. Read more here ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @owensennitt.bsky.social

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

“[T]here can be no assurance usage of AI will enhance our products or services or be beneficial to our business, efficiency or profitability,” Meta wrote in its 10k form. There's some sense on artificial so-called intelligence www.ft.com/content/e93e...

Hyperliteral (neurodivergent?) me just figured out why the feed is full of big shirtless lumberjack looking guys today 🤦🏼‍♂️

FINALLY, more than 9 hours after the T8 signal was raised, did I hear that "jet engine" sound outside my window that I associate with serious typhoons. Okay, calling it a night. Hope every one of my MOOTs -- be they in Hong Kong or otherwise -- stays/is safe.

Work had CVS do an onsite and free flu and COVID-19 vaccination clinic this week. It was well attended. People DO learn.
