Good point.

Even if you do get this to produce appreciable amounts of light, this seems like a really good way to have these plants spread outside of their designated areas and fuck up wildlife even more than our artificial lighting does already.

One of many deeply frustrating things about Trump’s fire hose of terrible and frequently actively evil ideas is that not only do they come in such volumes that it’s overwhelming, but it’s also incredibly hard to tell if something is a brief fixation he will quickly move on from or something that is going to be a recurring issue to deal with.

Which is to say: Christ, he’s back on this one again?

This is brilliant.

So, if I’m reading this correctly…

Non-indigenous farmers: We’re tired of people who aren’t from here and don’t understand the land trying to come in, take our land, and push the presence of this species that we aren’t cultivating and consider a threat to our way of life!

The indigenous folks who have been diligently working with American Prairie to bring back buffalo and restore destroyed buffalo-managing ways of life after European invaders who didn’t understand the land came in, exterminated buffalos en masse, murdered Native folks, stole their land and destroyed their way of life, and pushed cows to the detriment of the land’s health: thousand-yard stares

I’ve considered that a few times, and have done the 'phone chatting while gaming" solution, but it gets pretty unwieldy quickly in my experience, sadly.

I have the same question, but a particular problem I am having is the need to chat via text while streaming instead of audio for accessibility purposes. Discord’s game overlay worked okay for this (not great, but usable) on Windows, but doesn’t run at all on Linux, and every alternative I look at seems very voice chat focused. Steam does have chat options within the overlay but doesn’t seem to have good chat history options.

FYI, Xcancel can be used to view most xcrements without an account or having to go to X. https://xcancel.com/

EDIT: Oh, this one was on his “Truth” Social. Well, the advice applies to X, at least.

Was there not an entire deal during the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation hearings where the GOP was up in arms about the left being ‘anti-Catholic’ for questioning her beliefs about abortion and about queer rights? And now they’re doing this?

I’m not surprised by the hypocrisy, I just feel like it merits pointing out.

I find myself wondering if her cushy “private sector” exit is a direct result of her having seen the fully unredacted Epstein Files. Trump knows he can’t piss her off enough to spill those beans.

Fuck cancer. I’m so sorry to hear this. Best wishes from this internet stranger.

I fully believe that this happened, but holy hell is it unbelievably fucked up that, if I am reading this correctly, this man possessed photographic evidence of the sexual abuse of an underage girl (itself illegal to possess!) and managed to use them to blackmail the victim’s mother with the threat to reveal them. The threat of the victim being revealed as a victim was considered blackmail material, while Atkins was absolutely secure in the idea that he could just possess child sexual abuse material and wasn’t going to get busted for it.

Fuck this world.

Swim across the Atlantic Ocean.

Some particularly popular venues will have parking farther out and run shuttle buses to get people to and from their cars, and it’s just like, you’re so close…

On the one hand, perhaps this is my own fault for browsing all while eating spaghetti. On the other hand, what were the odds.

Are you thinking of this?

I keep reading it as “slurp-ink,” personally.

Thanks!

Aw, that’s a way more mundane answer than I was hoping for, but I appreciate you explaining. (And I find myself doubting that it does much to AI scrapers, yes.)

Does anyone have a paywall-free version?
