Foraging marionberries, a.k.a. signing some out from the USDA's research facility at OSU

all gardening forums are bad but i swear r/gardening is the worst one. someone is arguing with me right now about whether or not "anyone in the world actually knows how to cultivate marionberries" or if they're "all wild foraged" marionberries!!!

Gosh if only being a rapist surrounded by rapist was somehow as disqualifying as… having to hold a railing on the stairs.

Seems bad

I think it would be hilarious if he had the 6 conservative SCOTUS justices’ catalytic converters stolen, refined, and minted into a coin that erased a significant fraction of the national debt.

Aside from everything else (Taylor Swift hosting a debate?!), the idea that you could require a positive-only campaign is disqualifyingly insane. Like 100% will never happen and isn’t a particularly good idea. One benefit of a primary is it shows who can survive the sliming of the general election.…

Hey you guys wanna see the dumbest plan to replace Biden possible? www.semafor.com/article/07/0...

I wish @volts.wtf posted these here rather than at the Nazi bar. I miss him. He’s 100% right.

I think this summed that point up quite well. x.com/drvolts/stat...

Bibi is pretty clearly now actively working to prevent a hostage/ceasefire deal. The man is a deranged lunatic who belongs in jail. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-jul...

Netanyahu issues list of Israeli demands as hostage-truce talks slated to restartwww.timesofisrael.com IDF major killed fighting in Rafah * Thousands rally nationwide demanding hostage release deal * Soldier and two civilians -- including US citizen -- wounded in Hezbollah attack

It is shameful that Washington, where we also have a trifecta, didn’t do this very simple thing to MAKE SURE CHILDREN EAT FOOD.

Meanwhile eight states, seven Democratic trifectas (CA, CO, MA, ME, MI, MN, NM) and Vermont, took a lesson from the pandemic and made universal free school meals permanent.

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

Look at you people. Look what you did. You told the French to “vote harder” and now this blonde lady’s crying because her dream of fulfilling her father’s dying wish has been dashed. Who will bring Poutine to France now?

Here's some fashy tears for your Sunday.

NYT says their performance on Threads today was an aberration, & not indicative of deeper problems they've had with social media. Unfortunately, that hasn't satisfied many observers whose concerns are growing louder. The stakes are too high. For the good of the news, the Times should step aside

It’s worth reminding ourselves once in a while, even if no one is listening, that DONALD TRUMP IS A HUGE SICKO PERVERT.

Hey I thought he already had a VP. Mickey Pennies, maybe? Super white, remember? What happened to that guy? Did someone incite a crowd to lynch him as part of a broader insurrection? So theatrical.

Donald Trump’s increasingly theatrical process of choosing a running mate has fostered a new crop of rising stars inside the Republican party.

In Choosing a V.P., Trump Is Elevating the Next Generation of Republicanswww.nytimes.com The process of choosing a running mate has created a new roster of rising Republicans with the potential to lead the ticket in 2028.

Reading these transcripts brings home a) how predatory Neil Gaiman was b) how insidious this sort of harassment can be. The podcast notes that the complexity of consent is one of its themes, and his method of grooming reminds me of an old This American Life. (CW: prostitution, sexual harassment)

Once you start noticing that every goddamn story about deadly heatwaves is illustrated with beach fun it really increases your desire to strew caltrops near oilfield roadways.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

Oh no he got the same brain eating amoeba that has been affecting Trump as well. It can be contracted through analingus but the important thing is a doctor can clear it right up. They should both get checkups though.

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

On Joe Biden’s worst day (the debate) he was still better than this

This was a speech during which he did not have to answer any questions, he supposedly knew where he was going to be several days ahead of time, and this is what he came up with

If Biden said something like this it would spell the end of not only his campaign but his current tenure. It's just one of countless examples of insane gibberish from Trump that the press & Democrats are choosing to treat as an immutable part of the electoral landscape rather than a story or issue.
