THEY DO WHAT?? 😮
"Rice plants and #VenusFlytraps share something in common that was not scientifically documented until recently. Using a faint smell to lure caterpillars into a trap, rice plants killed early-stage fall armyworm larvae by trapping them in a spikelet, the part at the end of a rice panicle where individual grains develop."

RE: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/115962113337707417
If you haven't already created a filter for posts that contain the #USpol and/or #trump hashtags (and/or your personal triggers) then you are missing out on a little peace and quiet. Set your filters to put those posts behind a #ContentWarning so YOU get to decide if you have the spoons, the curiosity, or the willpower to see them at the time. It's an easy way to show yourself some love!
Thanks @FediTips for putting together your superbly helpful guides!

I don't see any way out of this. Neither do the experts.
"... none of the [simulation] participants – many of them senior former military and government officials – considered the scenario unrealistic, especially after the supreme court’s decision in Trump v United States, which granted the president criminal immunity for official acts."
We ran high-level US civil war simulations. #Minnesota is exactly how they start

I'm so glad others picked up on this. Even if it's only the satirists.
“If the rule is ‘you can’t own land just because you showed up with boats’ then congratulations, Mr President. You’ve just invented the strongest argument against America since America.”
Native Americans intrigued by Trump’s claim that ‘landing boats’ doesn’t grant you ownership of the entire country

I was poisoned by #tetracycline in the 1960s when I was a kid. TBH, I don't know if I was poisoned if my #Mom took it while #pregnant with me, or if it was given to me after I was born. Regardless, I've spent my entire life with #rotten, #ugly, #brown #teeth (even my baby teeth!) because the #medicine stripped the #enamel off them. 😢
I hope this means that no child will ever have to endure what I have.

The law is clear: flags shall be flown at half-staff for thirty days after the death of a President.
But, you know, fuck the law.

"#Pictures convey reality in a way that words cannot. One of these days, the #parents of #children #murdered in a #SchoolShooting may make the same decision Mamie #Till did of her son #Emmett in 1955."
Yes, it'd be awful. But it'd also get people's attention, like "pro-lifers" did when they started holding up graphic pictures of #aborted #fetuses at their demonstrations.
