autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics.
this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.
Flight attendants sued over toxic uniforms and won.
Hannah Dunning explained on Alex Clark’s podcast how American Airlines and United Airlines flight attendants got seriously ill after being issued new uniforms loaded with chemicals (including formaldehyde).
Nothing else in their lives had changed, yet they developed headaches, rashes, breathing problems, and more. They sued the uniform manufacturer and won because they proved the chemicals were making them sick.
It’s a rare case where workers actually held a big company accountable for hidden toxins in everyday items.
These lawsuits show how chemicals in clothing can quietly harm us — and they could set a precedent for other exposure cases (like the chemical clusters in places such as Dalton, Georgia).
Have you started paying more attention to what’s in your clothes after hearing stories like this?
In the 1990s, Canadian ecologist Suzanne Simard made a groundbreaking discovery that challenged everything we thought we knew about how forests work. While studying managed forests in British Columbia, she noticed something puzzling: when birch trees were removed to promote the growth of valuable Douglas firs, the firs did not flourish as expected, they actually struggled and grew more slowly.
Determined to understand why, Simard traced the movement of nutrients using radioactive carbon isotopes. What she found was astonishing. Trees were actively sharing resources through vast underground fungal networks known as mycorrhizae. These delicate, thread-like fungi connect the roots of different trees across the forest floor, forming a complex web that allows the exchange of carbon, water, nutrients, and even chemical signals, sometimes between entirely different species.
She discovered that older, larger trees often serve as central "hubs" or "mother trees," supporting younger saplings by redistributing vital resources and helping the entire ecosystem remain resilient. When these key trees are removed, the underground network weakens, and the health of the remaining forest declines.
Simard’s research overturned the traditional Darwinian view of forests as battlegrounds of ruthless competition. Instead, she revealed a far more sophisticated reality: forests operate as highly cooperative systems where trees communicate, support one another, and even warn neighboring trees about threats like drought, disease, or insect attacks.
What appears to the human eye as a silent, still forest is, in truth, a vibrant, interconnected living network, built not on isolation and rivalry, but on deep connection and mutual aid.
@GlyphosateGirl@TrumpDailyPosts Agree 100! It’s hard think of all the children that grow up without parents killed by toxins thru “cancer” explained as genetics. The parents who watch their children suffer. Atrazine and glyphosate took my brother in laws citrus growing family. My sister 3 cancers. Him 3 too.

Driscoll’s conventional strawberries were just tested by an EPA-certified lab for 500+ pesticides. They found residues of 12 different pesticides at levels prohibited in the EU, Taiwan, Chile, Korea, and Russia. 👀
8 of those pesticides are classified as PFAS—forever chemicals that never break down in your body. 🚫
They were previously recalled for exceeding maximum pesticide residual limits for etoxazole, a chemical linked to liver damage, bone density loss, and endocrine disruption. 🤬
Driscoll’s headquarters is in Santa Cruz County, California—which has the second-highest pediatric cancer rate in the state, 38% above the California average. 📈⬆️
Over 2 million pounds of pesticides are applied annually in the surrounding school district area alone. Driscoll’s also uses 1,3-D—it’s a soil fumigant officially listed as a carcinogen.
Pass the shortcake? 🍰🤔
I booked what I thought was on hotel website in Switzerland. It was all identical. I didn’t check the link. They booked my room I guess because I was able to check in. The hotel said it was Expedia but it wasn’t. Apparently it’s all the scam in Europe and working well case in point.
@JustinWeRchange They only work for the provider that installs them. If you walk by on phone you get all 4 very strong signals radiating at you.
They can’t go thru anything or around corners. They are being installed for future automated vehicles in which they will jump to 6&7 G towers.
@ICosmicum@joeroganhq You have to be careful with their food too. All farms do not practice Weston Price. They also use well water and live next to concessional farms. Any honest Amish farmer will tell you they can’t control contamination it’s everywhere. They know it.
@_vminologist@RepLuna I know people who have died. Several with cancer and most end up with neurological issues in 70’s. It’s more than glyphosate and we have a long way to go but it’s a start!
@jenniferwink@RepLuna No one would even be talking about chemicals right now if it weren’t for our current president. Do you remember the last overweight clown in charge of HSS. Sit down.
@StPeteFL The only way to solve this is eliminate the use of blowers or allow videos submitted for fines. Otherwise I see my neighbors maintenance crews blowing into the streets daily.
@FloridaTrend I will say all the development in Homestead is wiping out land for tropical landscape material. When people start whining about how much they have to pay for a palm tree remember there was no support for agriculture pause on this type of development.
A review of 174 studies (2013–2023) found consistent links between pesticide exposure and:
-Leukemia
-Brain tumors
-Rare childhood cancers
It’s a pattern.
Remove pesticide protections from the Farm Bill.
