Happy birthday @GopalG5!!

It’s a sign of the times. Farmers make more money on social media than actually farming. https://t.co/lJeh3Ubgr5

Since I moved to the @STLcwescene I’ve seen 1 coffee shop close, 2 art galleries die, and 2 restaurants shut their doors. @UpDownSTL is the injection of life #StLouis desperately needs!

A dog’s body temp is actually between 101 and 102.5 F, compared to 97.6 to 99.6 F for humans so that explains why I’m dying get off me Soba

“The notion that somehow #GMOs give us this ability to tinker with the essence of life that’s more dramatic or invasive than another kind of conventional breeding is bullshit. Because that’s what breeding has been since the beginning of time”

Startups like @mosa_meat claim one sample from a cow can produce 80,000 quarter pounders! That’s a lot of beef 🥩 #cellculturedmeat

Important things to consider, particularly as we see fleets of autonomous robots and drones become reality in #agriculture

[Ali Yahya @alive_]

This is compounded by the fact that scaling a robotic fleet tends to coincide with the loosening of quality controls in data collection (or with an increase in infrastructure and QA costs). This creates an additional source of bias (or cost) slow down returns to scale even more.

[Laura Lee @Laurreally]

This news plus the recent documentary exposing animal abuse at @fairlife are both making me strongly consider cutting out beef & dairy...

[NPR @NPR]

Overall, those who increased their intake of processed red meat by about 3.5 servings a week had about a 13 percent higher risk of death during the study's eight-year follow-up period. https://t.co/QwX99hmxWo
