A “perfect lawn” is stupid
The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.
Dandelions, native to Europe and Asia, were brought to North America in the 1600s by European colonists who grew them deliberately.
Every part is edible. The leaves are a salad green, the flowers were made into wine, and the roots were roasted as a coffee substitute and used medicinally for liver and kidney conditions for thousands of years. They were a kitchen-garden staple well into the 1800s.
The shift happened after World War II, when 2,4-D (originally developed for chemical warfare research) was approved as a residential herbicide. Companies like Scotts built the modern lawn-care industry around the idea that a perfect green lawn meant zero broadleaf plants.
Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."
They aren't native, but they aren't doing significant ecological harm either. The herbicides used to kill them, on the other hand, kill bees, contaminate groundwater, and have been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans.
If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.
Crunch on this.
@nickshirleyy When exposing a crime is treated as a crime, you are ruled by criminals.
There’s a reason “Dog” is just “God”, backwards; they share an unconditional love for mankind. Both Nithya and Karen Bass ignore these poor animals being killed on Skid Row and in their city shelters. They don’t care. I will put an end to this horror. VOTE to save these animals.
Her speaking like this, is a miracle!
5 out of the 6 arrests last night were people from OUTSIDE of New Jersey.
There is a coordinated campaign of violence against our @ICEgov law enforcement.
Our ICE law enforcement officers are facing an 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,300% increase in assaults against them.
This violence against law enforcement must end.

The Great American Cotton Plan is about one thing: Putting American cotton first again.
Real “_____” wear cotton. 👖🌱
Americans. Cowboys. Farmers. Families. MAHA. Because cotton is real, natural, American-grown, and made by U.S. farmers.
Here’s the plan 👇
✅ Promote natural American-grown fibers over synthetic, plastic-based materials
✅ Expand domestic cotton manufacturing and textile production
✅ Increase export opportunities for U.S. cotton producers
✅ Strengthen support for cotton mills and processors
✅ Protect cotton growers from market volatility and adverse risk
✅ Modernize facilities and expand production capacity
✅ Support long-term profitability for America’s cotton farmers
This is about rebuilding an industry that supports jobs, rural communities, American manufacturing, and our agricultural future.
Plant, not plastic.

Hey Lisa, if you're against me because I was on a TV show in my 20's, wait til you learn what Karen Bass was doing in her 20's...
Yowzer! Honestly anyone still using chat gpt has a dysfunctional moral system and/or doesn’t keep up with the news nor do they question narratives. Chat gpt is the little red pill and it’s one degree away from swallowing mainstream media.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
@ShadowofEzra But I thought we were gonna put them servers on the moon🤷♀️
The chickens eat the ticks and we eat the eggs of the chickens but that’s ONLY if they forage naturally (chickens love to peck at ticks) so remove the pecking or the free ranging or even if they free range, put them on adulterated sterile land: then the chickens do not produce the antibodies within the egg that we consume to give us a natural protection against the Lyme disease… God has a plan but man makes plan and God laughs 😂
But like, how does anyone actually prove this as fact 🤷♀️ let’s just all jump
on the freight train of a conglomerate computer company poopooing their associates using ai 😂 I mean who actually believes this 🤣
Microsoft just banned its own engineers from using AI.
The tool was literally costing MORE than the humans it was supposed to replace.
They lied to you about AI adoption and now the whole narrative is blowing up:
Microsoft gave thousands of engineers access to Claude Code six months ago and encouraged them to use it.
Engineers loved it and adoption exploded. But then the invoices arrived.
Token-based pricing means every query, every code review, every debugging session costs money. At scale across 100,000 engineers, the numbers became so large that Microsoft issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool instead.
The company that invested $5 billion in Anthropic just told its own people to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much.
Uber's story is even worse...
Their CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga told The Information that the budget he planned for the full year was "blown away already" by April.
Uber had rolled out Claude Code in December 2025. By March, 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it with 70% of all committed code coming from AI systems.
Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Naga himself spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo session.
The company had even built internal leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used. They literally gamified the spending and then ran out of money.
Now look at what Nvidia's own VP of applied deep learning Bryan Catanzaro said to Axios last month. Direct quote:
"For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees."
This is a VP at the company that SELLS the chips saying that using AI is more expensive than paying humans.
Think about what this means for the entire AI narrative.
Every CEO on every earnings call for the past two years has said the same thing:
AI will make us more efficient, reduce headcount, and cut costs.
The stock market rewarded every company that said it.
Fired workers, stock goes up. Announced AI adoption, stock goes up.
But the actual companies deploying AI at scale are discovering the math doesn't work. The MORE employees use AI, the HIGHER the bill.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24x increase in token consumption by 2030 as companies adopt AI agents. Gartner just published a report showing that even though individual token prices will drop 90% by 2030, total enterprise AI costs will go UP because agents consume exponentially more tokens per task than basic tools.
Meta built an internal dashboard called "Claudeonomics" to track which employees use the most AI. Amazon started pushing engineers to "tokenmaxx," their internal term for consuming as many AI tokens as possible.
Both companies are spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure this year alone.
And Microsoft, the company that bet its entire future on AI, just told 100,000 engineers to stop using the tool they liked best because the per-token bills got out of control.
The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP.
This is the gap nobody on Wall Street is pricing in.
$725 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year across Big Tech. And the first companies to actually deploy these tools at scale are already pulling back because the economics don't work.
What do you think?
@MarioNawfal That’s also at Brooklyn Water Bagel in Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter, FL
Wtf
What the hell is going on here?
The NY/NJ World Cup Host Committee took $50 million from New Jersey taxpayers, bought 1,000 tickets at full price, then turned around and sold them for $50 to New Yorkers.
New Jersey families paid the bill, New Yorkers got the bargain.
And the person chairing this committee is New Jersey’s former First Lady.
At some point, this stops being incompetence and starts looking like contempt for New Jersey taxpayers.
@MelissaRedpill It’s otterly hilarious
@NICKIMINAJ Yassss queeeeen 😂
@JeffBezos Ok so how about a list of professions, nursing being one, that don’t pay - cuz idk, there still needs to be “proverbial cheese.”
This is super useful information!!!
When ant hills start cropping up all over the yard, the knee-jerk reaction for many is to sprint to the hardware store for a jug of heavy-duty, synthetic pesticide. But before flooding the lawn with harsh chemicals that can affect pets, helpful pollinators, and the local soil, it pays to look inside the kitchen pantry.
A remarkably effective, non-toxic hack for managing an ant problem requires nothing more than mixing equal parts baking soda and powdered sugar.
Here is exactly how it works and why it is so effective:
The Science Behind the Secret
The Bait: Ants have a massive sweet tooth, but they are incredibly smart foragers. They will easily sniff out and avoid pure baking soda. However, when it is meticulously mixed with finely ground powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar), they cannot separate the two. The sweetness masks the deterrent, drawing them in.
The Mechanism: Baking soda is highly alkaline. When ants consume it, it reacts with the acidic fluids in their digestive systems. Because ants cannot expel internal gas the way mammals can, the sudden chemical reaction is fatal to them.
The Delivery: Foragers won't just eat it on the spot; they will carry this sweet, lethal mixture back to the heart of the colony, effectively taking care of the root of the problem.
How to Apply It
Simply blend a 50/50 mix of the two ingredients in a container and shake well. Sprinkle it directly around the perimeter of active mounds or along known ant trails.
Other All-Natural Alternatives
If baking soda isn’t on hand, a few other household staples can disrupt pest patterns naturally:
White Vinegar: Spraying a simple solution of vinegar and water along entry points dissolves the scent trails ants use to navigate, leaving them completely disoriented.
Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade): A completely natural powder made from fossilized algae. It is harmless to humans and pets but breaks down the exoskeletons of crawling insects on contact.
Essential Oils: Peppermint, tea tree, and citrus oils act as powerful natural repellents. A few drops near windows and doors keep unwanted visitors at bay.
Relying on massive chemical interventions isn't always necessary to keep a property balanced. Sometimes, the safest, cheapest, and most elegant solutions are already sitting right next to the baking supplies.
