Hello!
I’m a #composer and I will be posting my #music as well as my #foodsecurity project: easiest, most pest resistant plants to grow with most efficient use of space while accounting for the changing/weirding climate.

Also an inordinate amount of butterfly pics. ❤️

Nice to meet you #gardening
A red hybrid jaboticaba tree with ripe and unripe fruit hanging on the trunk surrounded by small green leaves. A butterfly sitting on a leaf facing right with dry leaf-like patterns on its wings. There are numerous eyespots along the borders of its wings. Fruit and leaves in a silver bowl. From left to right: katuk, huazontle, curry berry, physalis grisea. A chopping block with arranged leaves and vegetables. Top row: dwarf bok choi flowers leaves and seed pods, curly kale, green peas, longevity and Okinawa spinach, Boehmeria cylindrica. Middle row: moringa, red-veined sorrel, katuk, sissoo, madhatter peppers, mitsuba. Bottom row is baobab leaf, cucumbers, watermelon radish.

The 60 Minutes episode on CECOT that Bari Weiss cancelled was shown in Canada. Someone uploaded a recording of it to Internet Archive that you can watch here.

It’s horrifying. TW: torture.

Disturbing!

Libby added a new AI feature to recommend books. The top rec under “political manipulation and historical revisionism” is by an oligarch shill and 2020 election denier.

Libby is an app for people to borrow ebooks from their local public library.

#booksky #disinformation #ai
A screenshot from the Libby app’s AI tab featuring a book titled "Rigged" by Mollie Hemingway. It includes a brief description of the book's content, which discusses election manipulation and the influence of media and technology on political narratives. The image shows that it was the top result under political manipulation and historical revisionism. Image is a screenshot. I reported the title in the previous pic as being inappropriate and it took me to this page where it briefly discusses Libby’s use of AI. Text says: “Libby’s inspire me feature, leverages, artificial intelligence. Generative AI sometimes makes mistakes. When a mistake is inappropriate offensive or upsetting we want to know about it. We appreciate you taking the time to report serious mistakes. Reports are anonymous so we can’t respond directly. Libby and AI learn more about how we use artificial intelligence responsibly at overdrive.” This is the main screen when you click on the middle button for the AI suggestion in the Libby app. The screen has a starry night sky, and the text says “inspire me with…” and has selectable items: fiction, nonfiction or a tag. At the bottom is a red arrow pointing to where the AI feature is on the app.

President Trump's ongoing attempts to use the military for law enforcement endangers public safety and our rights.

Tell your Senator to co-sponsor a bill that will limit domestic military deployments and enhance oversight.
Congress: U.S. Troops are Not the President's Personal Police Force
Military troops do not belong on our streets and should never be used to police civilians. The Senate must protect our freedoms and pass the Military in Law Enforcement Accountability Act now.

The ACA isn’t a talking point—it’s life and death. And 8 Senate Democrats chose politics over people. The anger is real. The disappointment is deep. You failed the ones you swore to protect. 📞 (202) 224-3121

Yuzu 🧵 1/

Disease/pest resistant, cold hardy citrus (to zone 7b). All parts of the fruit are edible.

Yuzus like well draining soil but will grow well in pots if local soil is too heavy.

See thread for recipe ideas.
Cut open yuzu on a wooden surface. The fruit has already been microplaned. Seeds and whole fruit are in the background.
