@giveashitnature This is why the lawn in my backyard has several different types of grass a and various species of weeds. Just doing my part to save the world.

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.
When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.
They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.
In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.
The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.
We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

Collider ranks Samira Mohan as the best Pitt character ♥️
"There is no character who better encompasses the heart of The Pitt than Dr. Samira Mohan. Mohan is fundamental to #ThePitt & all that it stands for, and she is going to be an immeasurable loss for the show next season."

@MKajetka @bungarsargon I can't say that emotionless acting and no facial expressions really says "charisma" to me. But I saw a clip of This Is Where I Leave You that I thought was maybe interesting acting, so who knows.

I once saw Adam Driver live on Broadway in Burn This. He had this raw, electric charisma that was apparent even from the nosebleed seats. During one scene that begins with Driver’s character offstage, there was a knock on the door. I will never forget how the entire audience inhaled audibly with the sheer anticipation of seeing Adam Driver again. It turned out to be a different character at the door, at which point the entire audience audibly exhaled in what I can only describe as sheepish disappointment.
This charisma is why Lena Dunham cast Driver in Girls. So it’s kind of awful that she is now trying to recast herself as the victim of the very thing she wanted from him.
