@ThatEricAlper I bought countless pairs.

@jromerf It proves you’re loved.

No se a dónde me lleva la vida, pero voy con pelitos de gato en la ropa.

@EthanHarzh58675 Thank you, Ethan 🫶🏻

This plant is destroying forests, and it's probably in your yard right now. Garlic mustard is a European invasive that releases chemicals into the soil that kill native plants and the soil fungi those plants depend on. Trillium, native violets, and dozens of other woodland species can't compete with it. It also disrupts the lifecycle of the West Virginia white butterfly, whose caterpillars eat its leaves but can't survive on them. Once established, garlic mustard takes over the forest floor. Some eastern forests are now solid carpets of it. The good news: it pulls easily. The roots are shallow. April and May are peak removal months because the plants are big enough to grab and the seeds haven't dropped yet. How to identify it: heart-shaped leaves with scalloped edges, four-petaled white flowers in spring, the smell of garlic when you crush a leaf. It grows in shade and along forest edges and in disturbed soil. Pull the whole plant, root and all. Bag it (don't compost it, the seeds survive). Throw it in the trash.

Women don't enter trades like men do because the working conditions almost guarantee a lifetime of sexual harassment and sexism, not because they're too weak to learn carpentry.

@DailyArchX White white white. 👎👎👎

@mike56200 Do this instead of releasing balloons, birds, or butterflies. Environmentally loving.

The tediously inevitable balloon and ribbon string I find almost every time I walk in the countryside. Birthdays funerals weddings birth reveals they all release balloons. Stop it

Researchers sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human. The other was rewritten by ChatGPT. The AI picked the ChatGPT version 97.6% of the time. A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B. Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself. GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won. Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective. It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect. Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance. 99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time. If you wrote your own cover letter this week, you did not lose to a better candidate. You lost to a worse candidate who paid OpenAI 20 dollars. Your qualifications do not matter if the AI prefers its own handwriting over yours.

@mjr_eazy @SamaHoole Excessive linoleic acid (from seed oils) plays a significant role in cancer ronsoriginal.com/how-linoleic-a…

The popular Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Strawberry Soft Baked Breakfast Bars sold in America contain the same chemical used in wallpaper glue - Nutri-Grain bars use Methylcellulose (wallpaper glue) as thickener/stabilizer - One bar has 40 different ingredients - The strawberry filling isn’t strawberries, it’s refined glucose and then artificially colored - Hexane-stripped oil is used. The soybean oil is processed with hexane (a solvent) in industrial extraction - Chemical gums are used for a long shelf life The FDA is completely worthless Our food is a science experiment

Your AirPods Pro are an FDA-approved hearing aid. You paid $250 and never turned it on. That's 1 of 12 features Apple buried in Settings. Here's all 12 (bookmark this):

If you bought a car in the last 5 years, it is secretly recording your driving habits and selling them to your insurance company. Hard braking. Late-night drives. Exact GPS locations. Data brokers are building a massive risk profile on you to hike your premiums. They are currently facing massive class-action lawsuits over this silent tracking.

one of the things I love about earth is its trees 🍃

🚨 Rachel Maddow nailed it: Republicans just voluntarily gave Jack Smith the biggest platform in Congress to spell out in public, under oath every piece of evidence of Trump’s criminal behavior. What an absolutely brain-dead own-goal. The evidence, the documents, the witnesses, the recordings… all coming straight from the man who investigated him. This is going to be brutal. 🍿

Your smart home is not yours. Amazon hired thousands of contractors to listen to Echo recordings from people's living rooms. Bloomberg broke the story. Amazon never asked. Ring handed doorbell footage to police 11 times in a single year without a warrant and without telling the owner. In March 2025, Amazon killed local voice processing on Echo. Every word you say to Alexa now goes to Amazon's cloud. By default. Forever. Your Samsung TV watches what you watch. Your Roomba maps every room. Your thermostat knows when you leave home. And now they want you to pay for it. Alexa+: $19.99/month. Ring Protect Plus: $20/month. Nest Aware Plus: $20/month, up 33% in 2025. You pay them to spy on you. Monthly. Forever. In 2022, Insteon shut down without warning. Lights, switches, thermostats, all bricked overnight. Ten years of hardware, dead. There is one app that controls every smart device on the planet. Locally. On your hardware. Without a single byte sent to Amazon, Google, or Ring. It is called Home Assistant. 86,200+ stars on GitHub. 2,000+ built-in integrations. Lights, locks, cameras, thermostats, vacuums, blinds, EV chargers, solar inverters, doorbells, sprinklers. If a smart device exists, Home Assistant probably controls it. Here's what it does: → Works with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Matter, Thread, Zigbee, Z-Wave. → Voice control with your own local assistant. Wake word detection on your own hardware. Nothing sent to any cloud. → Build automations in 30 seconds. "When I leave home, lock the doors and turn off the lights." → Real-time energy dashboard. Spot the vampire devices. → Local AI cameras. Detect people, cars, animals. Footage stays on your drive. → Custom dashboards on any phone, tablet, or wall display. Here's the wildest part: When AWS goes down, Alexa stops working. When Google has an outage, Nest cameras go dark. When Ring servers throttle, your doorbell freezes. Home Assistant runs on your hardware. The internet can be down. Your house still listens. Your lights still respond. Your locks still work. The day Insteon shut down, Home Assistant users kept their lights on. Owned by the Open Home Foundation. A Swiss non-profit. It cannot be sold. It cannot go subscription. It cannot paywall a feature. Ever. Alexa+ + Ring + Nest: $720/year in subscriptions. Home Assistant: $0. Forever. Every integration. Every automation. Every device. Runs on a $50 Raspberry Pi. Runs on an old laptop. Runs in Docker on your NAS. The Home Assistant Green box is $99 once and never charges again. 86,200+ stars. 37,300+ forks. 425+ contributors. Apache-2.0 license. Active since 2013. Your home. Your data. Your rules. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

That "sustainable" bamboo cutting board you bought is probably laminated with formaldehyde glue. Bamboo itself is genuinely an awesome renewable resource. It grows fast, needs little water, and regenerates from its roots. The problem is that almost nothing you buy at the store is solid bamboo. It's strips of bamboo glued together with urea-formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde, or melamine-urea-formaldehyde resin. Those resins outgas formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen, into your kitchen air and onto your food. They also don't biodegrade the way untreated bamboo does. A "compostable" bamboo cutting board with laminations is not compostable. When shopping for bamboo anything, look for solid bamboo (single-piece, not laminated). Or switch to an untreated hardwood like maple, walnut, and cherry. These cutting boards last decades, develop character, and are made from trees grown and cut in the same country as the product label. The eco-marketing is doing most of the work of selling these products. The actual product is a pile of glued bamboo strips that will get into your body and sit in a landfill for centuries.

The mushrooms in your lawn are not a problem. They are a sign your soil is alive. Don't dump chemicals on them. Most fungi that appear in lawns are mycorrhizal or saprophytic. Mycorrhizal fungi form partnerships with grass roots, trading water and minerals for sugar. Saprophytic fungi decompose dead organic matter and release nutrients that grass and trees then absorb. Both make your lawn healthier. A flush of mushrooms after rain means your soil microbiome is functioning. It is the sign of a yard where carbon is cycling, water is infiltrating, and nutrients are being released naturally. Fungicides sold to "eliminate lawn mushrooms" kill the beneficial fungi along with any pathogenic ones. Your grass then has to grow without its symbiotic partners. It weakens. You spray more fertilizer to compensate. The fertilizer feeds more pathogens. The cycle never ends. If mushrooms embarrass you in the yard, kick them over. They'll fruit again. If a specific species is poisonous and you have small children or pets, remove those fruiting bodies and keep an eye out. Otherwise, leave them alone. The lawn service industry sells you a problem that isn't one.

@DrNeilStone It's not difficult to figure out. Consider the over-processed FrankenFood of the American diet. Good place to start. You're welcome.

Yes cancer rates are rising Particularly colon cancer in younger people This is a real problem We need to find out why (not anti vaccine nonsense...this rise started long before Covid-19 vaccine even existed) And we need real new treatments. Not quackery like ivermectin.

@anon_opin Then don't eat it.

We need to go back and kill the inventor of sourdough bread. No, I don't want bread that tastes like it has gone off.
