From Culinary Dud To Stud: How Dutch Plant Breeders Built Our Brussels Sprouts Boom
Brussels sprouts used to be scorned. Now they're trendy. And one reason for their renaissance sits tucked away in a basement storage room in the Netherlands.

If you share unattributed news, or worse yet, news from a content mill with non-existent reporters, you are not to be trusted. 🥴🥴🥴
Inauthentic news network is awake and sharing biased news, and people with professional degrees are sharing them. Hot mess.

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

literally the source of detroit vs everybody.
it started because of the racism detroit has faced ever since it became a predom black city from neighboring cities, the rest of michigan, the media, and even people in far away states that don't know shit about us.

Yep, it’s funny when you travel and meet people, and somehow every state and region has a funny quirk of hating the place that has the most Black people nearby.
shit, speaking as a missiouri resident, if theres two places republicans despise in this state its Kansas City and St Louis

There's a pervasive culture in tech companies simply refusing to accept the word “No.”
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

If this is being annoying, then okay. I'm saying this, too. Our small local metro news publication, @freepressokc.bsky.social , gets out to be there and cover a story. Then, later we see whole stories or photos scraped and shared by automated scrapers. Support the originators of the news.
I know it's just me being annoying, but watch and see who gives credit to the journalists *actually* covering a story and who just writes something — with no sourcing or credit — for engagement. And remember that! Journalism costs money and the people who actually cover things need your support.
