This rhetoric has been around for a decade. I very closely followed far right communities after the 2016 election and this is EXACTLY what they were pretty much all saying. None of this is new by any means. The only new thing is liberals becoming aware of it

So far, all confirmed observations are restricted to the campuses of UCB and SFSU. They can take 2 years before they even grow aerial parts so it's possible that it's more widespread than we know but I also know there are enthusiasts out there who collect seeds and likely help disperse them

Touché.

I really appreciate the link! I guess there'd be no harm in adding it after all. I really wish he was around so I could ask more questions.

I would LOVE to see what you find but I'm not sure I would add it to the article. O. hederae's extreme host specificity means little to no ecological risk but technically the introduction of any non-native Orobanche species may be a felony (not one I've ever heard being enforced, but still)

Can I ask how you know Bob Ornduff is the culprit? I wrote the Wikipedia page for this species and all I have ever heard was speculation about "some botany student"

Took me a while to realize this wasn't an equation. I'm like "okay so then Theft + Unpaid Labor = Almost Famous?". Maybe it should be "Almost Famous: Unpaid Labor is Theft"

Televisa was the media company and the hotel they wanted censored was Grand Fiesta Americana Oaxaca which is owned by the Azcárraga Family

Can I ask what app?
