Nicotiana sylvestris. Will grow quite large if you feed it; I have lovely memories of one summer when they formed a forest and bloomed at almost nose-height; the perfume was almost overwhelming on still summer nights. Downside, we were pulling up volunteer seedlings EVERYWHERE the next spring - the seed is minuscule and blows around quite easily.

Sooo, marketing had a job...

First they came for the journalists, who were very surprised to find themselves in a giant warehouse filled with minorities, immigrants, disabled, trans, and gay people.

From @harvardmed@twitter.com:

"The study shows increased likelihood of hospitalization, cardiovascular effects, blood disorders, diabetes, fatigue, kidney damage, mental health effects, musculoskeletal damage, neurological deficits, and pulmonary damage with each COVID-19 infection"

I'm honestly surprised by how many decent people are still hanging out on Twitter as if a wingnut didn't pay twice its value to game the algos and turn it into a red pilling machine.

If you're still there and just go inactive, you increase the likelihood that Twitter will go bankrupt--Elmo loaded it up with debt and scared away most advertisers--and it will be run by people who aren't on a mission to combat some dumb right-wing conspiracy theory about big tech suppressing conservatives.

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are Pump-and-Dump schemes, while others are Pyramid schemes. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Others are just standard-issue fraud.

Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

Does anyone know if the guy who came up with the phrase, "One Hit Wonder," ever came up with any other phrases?

Before I go to sleep, I stole some content from reddit for you. It's about pelicans and their idea about possible food.

We are unbreakable. We are united. We will win.

There is no doubt about this.

I saw a toot about how Mastodon isn’t a suitable network for social movements.. posted on a social network with 8 million accounts that has no adverts, is volunteer run, is open source, has no owner and is end to end free of big technology companies.

I knew the "Hamburger", but didn't know the Meatballs... I think I'll start calling it by that name now. actually, there's more food names:

GRETA, NOW DO ELON.
