I haven’t found the ag community here either. I think a lot of farmers happily remained Ion Twitter when a lot of us decided to go elsewhere

Well of course they are. Treason is fine as long as you agree with the horrible morals of why they were treasoness

This was less of a monopoly and more of new ownership screwing up a good thing that spurred more innovation. Hopefully the numbers keep growing

Agreed. I remember having robust discussions about GMOs, CRISPR and all sorts of deep science on Twitter. I grieved the loss of that broad discussion where experts would magically join the conversation. But this is definitely the best of the options out here for now

That seems like something the @lincolnproject.us could easily handle if the dems don’t

Have been paying attention to all the birds I share space with using the Merlin app that I have thanks to @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social (also have the book). And now I am worried this young downy woodpecker is out hopping around my lawn. Doesn’t seem it can fly but talons good for climbing.

I know resistance is futile on this stuff. Buying bundles makes sense but then we all know as more of us bundle, the price rate begins creeping up. But that accounting totally makes sense. I have a Sonos system and for some reason Sonos and Spotify gel but Apple Music doesn’t. Love Sonos speakers

he's still been going... folks went to work, worked an entire day and headed for home and @booker.senate.gov @corybooker.com is still going strong! The back and forth on questions is really something. Love him jokign about the power he's wielding as he calls Mark Kelly out for EWR signs LOL

Strom Thurmond stood in the way, anger can get in the way, and we the people have the power to move this country in the right way. We need 3-4 senators to find the strength to call their party to task & vote their conscious rather than bend to the demigods and the fear

The way Cory Booker’s shifting his weight cause after 13 hours he is exhausted. He is right that’s the exhaustion I have been feeling for weeks. Thanks @corybooker for making it clear we are being heard.

The way the US government keeps asserting they are doing good work and refuse to see any details. First it was pardoning everyone arrested due to January 6. It is happening across the gov cuts and the deportations and more. It shows a total disregard for human rights, for the legal system, etc.

We don’t have a dragon fruit class but we talk about specialty crops groundedinag.com/specialty and generally would recommend not assuming what plants look like. And we help direct you to good resources. #themoreyouknow #agriculture #discovery #curiosity

If that agency works in a space where they needed people in agriculture to trust them, it could get ugly fast. Because people know the details. And overlooking details usually conveys a problem of some kind.

Watching TV and a @target ad and gotta do a
#FactCheck. The ad shows a woman pick a dragonfruit from a tree. Problem is dragonfruit grows on a cactus. I bet nobody had any idea that lots of fruit & vegetables have distinctive appearance on farms. But it definitely matters if you work in ag.

It’s about how legal immigrants from various worn torn parts of the world are starting new lives & new businesses in cities like STL. And how it benefits everyone.

But things are shifting & new challenges are arising. This story likely challenges preconceptions. I ask you listen with an open mind.

They Had an Answer to Their City’s Decline. Then Came the Immigration Crackdown. (Gift Article) Shrinking cities have tried to stabilize their populations with foreign-born residents. The strategy was working, until the inauguration.

Was listening to podcasts as I ran errands & as this story started, they don’t read the headline & I didn’t have it up on the screen. I thought that sounds like us, like the St Louis metro.

And then it came, her story was about the Lou & our growth plan.

US judge says Musk's DOGE must release records on operations run in 'secrecy' A federal judge on Monday ordered the government-downsizing team created by U.S. President Donald Trump and spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk to make public records concerning its operations, which he said had been run in "unusual secrecy."

Here is the Reuters piece on it www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
