Was just thinking today about not rich/poor folks being told not to worry about rising seas when they live in ceap to build low lying areas and rich folks up on their hilltops & cliff edges continually rebuilding and repairing eroding land and the middle strata preasures this may be adding to.

In the Pacific Northwest, there is a group that investigates pioneer (1850s+) trees, and they've recovered a number of "lost" apple strains. If you think Red Delicious tastes like an apple, you are missing out on real flavor. Save old varieties!

Wow! Who would be a Tesla customer? "Tesla set up an entire fake service operation, customers who complained were put in an invisible Tesla service jail. Their Tesla apps were silently altered so that they could no longer book service for their cars for any reason"!? pluralistic.net/2025/04/15/m...

Bench update! All my small #bonsai trees received maintenance and hair cuts today. Some are looking rather naked, but they will recover. I'm going to look for some proper pots for a few of them soon.

Since we’re all talking about it I want to blow up a real female space pioneer, Mae Jemison, an actual astronaut. She’s a graduate of Stanford and Cornel Medical School, served in the peace corps, started an educational nonprofit, and worked for the CDC researching vaccines. That’s a woman in space

Simeon gaslights NZ doctors, blaming them for the strike and telling doctors they didn't need to do this. Meanwhile National & ACT seek to silence doctors at the same time; offering a paycut while giving themselves 11% pay bumps for ruining the country and our public healthcare system #kiwi #nzpol
