A family farm donated 87 acres of land to the city of Taylor, Texas to be made into a public park.

The city sold it for $10 million to build a 135,000 square foot data center.

In a study of 7 children with ‘Covid toe’ they found that the tiny blood vessels in their toes tested positive for Covid but they all tested negative in PCR nasal swab tests.

Y'all realize where this is headed, right?

[Laura Elliott @TinyWriterLaura]

ok but the only reason women’s clothes (and dresses in particular) have functional pockets these days is because millennials made a big deal out of it. like i cannot impress upon you how 90% of women’s jeans never used to have pockets you could put anything in. JEANS ffs

@TaylorLorenz Yeah, debunking Alan feels like debunking those fake lifehack youtube channels that indicate gummy bears expand to the size of melons if you soak them in cola or you can pop corn kernels with a cell phone. The content self-selects for a willfully stupid & stubborn audience.

Sadly pieces like this work bc they don’t engage in actual science on an issue. They construct a narrative (there’s a secret cure scientists & doctors won’t tell u about!) then funnel ppl into spending $ on pseudoscience “cures” at the expense of science-backed medical treatment

@NYMag Paltrow lives in the contemporary version of the Zone of Interest.

She wants to worry about yoga classes & vegan makeup, not messy things like genocides & ethnic cleansings, which make her uncomfortable like spaghetti sauce stains on her new white fashion blouse.

In 2009, dozens of cedar waxwings dropped dead in a Georgia yard. A lab opened them up and found their stomachs packed with one thing: bright red berries picked off the shrub by the porch.

That shrub was nandina, sold all over the South as "heavenly bamboo."

It's not bamboo, but an Asian barberry relative, and its berries contain cyanide compounds. A bird that eats a few is usually fine. But cedar waxwings don't eat a few. They descend in flocks and strip plants bare, and in late winter, when those berries are one of the few foods left hanging, a whole flock can swallow a deadly dose in minutes.

The Georgia birds were found dead beneath the shrubs they had been feeding on. It's happened since, including more cedar waxwings found dead at UNC Chapel Hill.

The berries are also how the plant spreads. Birds eat the fruit and scatter the seeds. Nandina has escaped gardens into woods across much of the South, from Virginia to Texas.

It tolerates deep shade, which means it doesn't stop at the trail edge. It can establish in intact forests and crowd out native plants. State after state lists it as invasive. It's still sitting on the shelf at the big-box nursery.

It's easy to recognize. An upright evergreen shrub three to eight feet tall, with lacy leaves that turn red in cold weather, clusters of white flowers in spring, and bunches of glossy red berries that hang on all winter.

So yank it. Get the roots, because it resprouts. If you can't remove the whole thing this year, at least cut off every berry cluster before the birds find it.

Then plant something that actually feeds them: winterberry, American beautyberry, chokeberry, or native hollies.

The birds deserve better.

Capitalism has invented something called "cost of living" where your very existence is an ever-inflating expense that you must overcome to survive. Think about that.

@MillayMatilde @JenniferLoewe10 @NYMag she acts vapid as fuck. remember when she was like, oh it is so easy to eat healthy on a food stamp budget, watch me and then immediately gave up? lmao vapid.

Miriam Margoyles is Jewish and, as a good human, she said all Israeli's are shits. Gwenocide is just an empty person.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

No, she’s facing “backlash” for whitewashing Israel’s genocide. Why did you leave that part out?

@PO3SMITH @AlHendiify I mean, you could say "fuck it," but I much prefer when people expand their imagination of what is possible.

Billionaires are killing the planet and everything on it. Where does self defense come into play?
