How tragic, that there is LITERALLY more outrage over this act that caused zero damage, than about fossil fuel executives lying, colluding, and blocking action for decades, locking in intensifying heat waves, flooding, fires, rising seas, collapsing crop yields, and death?

I spent six years working on this and he just... tweeted it out

I’m shocked by the streamers in the ejecta. In ordinary granular splash experiments we see nothing like this. A few musings about this in a thread… /1

@courtneytenz And 100% exacerbated by the entrenched childcare crisis. Just my experience, but MANY KiGas in the south can't offer full time because of lack of qualified applicants/high cost of living/low pay for Erzieher/in. Hard to work when you have to pick kid up at 2.

@jaimealyse Sounds heavenly!

@jaimealyse Can confirm, borage. It’s super pretty and bees, etc. love it, but it can be a bit of a nutrient hog, so I try to limit the number of plants. They grow huge if you let them.
