Wrong way roots! In the weightlessness of orbit, roots generally head towards moisture but sometimes they get confused and grow "upwards". Here are photos of my early purple potatoes, now potted in their hydroponic bag, turning into real Space Spuds.

@owroot Are you sure they are human?

The most bizarre thing about my kids is the fact that they don’t like mashed potatoes. What kid doesn’t like mashed potatoes?

@JohnGetchel Not too far from yours. #MonochromeMonday

Transamerica For #MonochromeMonday Let's see your monochrome photos my friends.

@8ntmuch @WayneMoranPhot0 No AI for me.

I only post photos I’ve taken… 📸 Not images generated with AI… What about you? 🫵🏻

@Bellagiotime Mine was this lovely shade of yellow.

The worst Chevy ever made, and you thought the Vega was bad. Chevrolet Chevette. I haven’t seen one running in years.

@MehdiHacks My choice as well.

What's your favorite metrology brand that's also accessible for hobbyists? Mine is Mitutoyo.

@thereal_SnS Knapping arrowheads.

What is an underrated skill for even the SHTF? I’ll go first: Lock-picking and midwifery.

@thereal_SnS Check out the Lock Pickinv Lawyer on YouTube.

@toddrjones The views are the bomb!

@WaltzingMtilda Have you done a desert road trip while listening to Seger? Life changing.

I never even listened to Bob Seger when I was young I don't know how this obsession got a hold of me in my 50's

@walterkirn Nobody walks in LA.

I sort some time in LA recently. I walked about ten miles a day, in and out of various municipalities. The moment I'd cross into LA proper, everything would get palpably, radically worse.

@amm_chino @JoshInEncinitas A trust is not “gaming the system” and you don’t have to be rich to have one. Less than $3k to have one created.

@JoshInEncinitas Rich White people know how to game the system more than anybody.

It’s all trusts and corps. Here’s a random area in La Jolla.

@JoshInEncinitas The annoyance people have with this is that if probate is so bad, and trust is the way to go, why is this not the default option and behavior afforded to every American out of the box? We all know the answer!

@LuisG1805 @JoshInEncinitas $2.5k for the last trust I had created.

@JoshInEncinitas A trust is roughly 5k to set up. Good investment when you own a home. A living trust means they are alive and will leave it to their kids. Its how your how's doesn't go into probate which is what the state wants to do, you know take your house.

@JoshInEncinitas Is your home not in a trust?

@megievalist @SketchesbyBoze My library also has a nice ocean view and is a great place to just sit and read.

People sleep on libraries! I've gone to gardening workshops and received free plants I listen to audiobooks for free I can avail myself of up-to-date newspapers and magazines when I infrequently feel like it etc. It's more than just books to read, which is also a great perk!

@megievalist @SketchesbyBoze I do my taxes in the library to stop myself from dropping f-bombs every five minutes.

With America's 250th anniversary just around the corner, we're looking back at the heroes who started it all. 🇺🇸 Tonight we honor Paul Revere's midnight ride–the spark in the dark that ignited the American Revolution.

Old North Church, where Paul Revere started his midnight ride on April 18, 1775. 🇺🇸

Here is my message to every college student in America: Read books. Be well-informed. Be optimistic. AI will not destroy your future. In fact, every innovation in history has made us better off. This will too.
