Having reached bacteria status plaguing the Earth, as the world’s most “intelligent” species, can we be more mature and pragmatic about reproduction? Accidental pregnancy has been an issue forever. Is there a tech answer like reversible sterilization that would cover all people until ready to reproduce and stop having accidents? 🤔

🎯 This is what you call "nailing it":

#Trump supporters are RIGHT!
There is a two-tiered justice system.
But when you're charged with 78 felonies in 3 different jurisdictions, have your own private plane and can keep your passport, without having to get a mug shot or make bail, then guess which tier you belong to?

@MariaHill @Drax How desperate a "lawyer" do you have to be, to agree to work for a fella with several thousands of lawsuits up his ass, so many debts, they made his skin turn orange and himself a national security threat, & so many Russian mobsters owning condos he sold them, making Putin get interested, which idiot dares to benefit from his very gang?

#AgentOrange after his latest inditement violated the court’s order not to incite unrest or violence last weekend on #TruthSocial. I want to see the court take appropriate action for contempt. The man continues to scream fire within the Nation, when it’s just him experiencing the fire in his squirming noggin as his alternate reality slowly collapses. So out of touch, jail for the time being would be appropriate. 🤔
A new version of Man on Fire….
@MKSinSA Trees are like a reprieve. It’s so long since we’ve gotten decent rain, I’m afraid we’ll start losing trees. I never thought as a resident of East Central Texas I’d be experiencing almost the equivalent of Arizona summer weather. But the people of Arizona, they probably never expected to be experiencing Gehenna temps. 😳

@vjack Evangical: but, but Beelzebub, an angel of another flavor will protect me and honor my religious views. I only have to let him borrow my soul for a while to smite evil abortionists. Yes, he swore he’d do that and give me front of the line privileges to the good place! Seems equitable to me. 🫢🙄

The question of why so many evangelical Christians on the right continue to support Trump no matter what has been answered for some time.

@bloodravenlib During the knuckle dragger days, the tribe benefited from chest thumping macho men. In modern life, is it a surprise women are taking over in market place leadership? Something about nuanced, considerate, big picture, multiple avenue considerations to find the best solution. Something women as historically less physical, second class citizens have much practise with. The Onion origin of the article is noted. 🥸

"Anti-democratic measures like Ohio’s Issue 1 are emblematic of how the fight for abortion rights is playing out in a post-Roe America. With almost 70 percent of Americans supporting abortion rights, opponents are increasingly offering no substantive response."

While Iowa has been in a drought for three years, state agencies have a new tool to better identify the slow-moving phenomenon and respond to its effects. Published in January, the Iowa Drought Plan provides guidance to address #drought in #Iowa.
The plan was developed through an interagency effort with support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Midwest Climate Hub and National Drought Mitigation Center.

"Instead, they’re deploying a quiet, nationwide strategy of altering the playing field in ways that concentrate power in the hands of conservative extremists—limiting abortion by undermining democracy itself. Anti-abortion activists realize they can’t win a fair fight, so they’re changing the rules of the game.
This approach is not new. Attacking democratic initiatives and voting rights has long been at the forefront of an anti-abortion strategy."
@MKSinSA I’ll clarify that while alive the lantana has not been blooming since the intense heat started. Geisha Girl shrubs are blooming. :)
@MKSinSA As long as they have adequate water, which is not excessive, the roses are sturdy to the sun,heat and blooming nicely. However, generally it seems like with this kind of heat plants are liking more shade. I’ve got some succulents I have moved into mostly shade, some into the kitchen because they were burning up. Did you hear about cactus dieing in Arizona due to the intense heat? 😳
@MKSinSA …along with Vinca, lantana, good ole roses. 🙂

Esperanza is one of my favorite plants, as its #tropical origins makes it perfect to survive our Texas triple-digit weather.
@ai6yr Remember when tornadoes were mostly a mid-west occurrence? 🤔
