🌱 adventures in community gardening: we were assigned a plot someone grew a banana plant in last year. So we pulled up 8 what I think are called “corms” (per Google) & a whole mess of underground rhizome things. Then my 4yo got stung by a honeybee 🐝 right by her eye so: early end to plot work. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiemi6ofm5bltseufbkjtve7j44mnylnol3ylbluahdck4gyxylo7y https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreihktvadttv6fpb3f2nk3wqwvps633yee7rwcqp6dtgf4rxbb633cu https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiacl6borlsqsuqv3u7ccgr4xd43gkptnuk5rj7tnybyamhyxu3qrq https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreia4fyhtxdbcn3fgvxxy7pu4bcrqfp5ozcp4qponsg6eofdmqaut44
This is good. It articulates difference in energy & alignment between “elite” groups. For me, bt more traditional institutional thinking & tech, which always had more focus on adversarial thinking (Ribbonfarm, one of my communities, had a subgroup focused on Boyd) [www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/o...](

Joe Biden is at it again! Vinay is free to show his ass & argue that helpful mRNA tech should be defunded on X, Rumble, Substack, FB, etc - bc private platforms set their rules as they wish. He’s too much of an idiot to understand this. And the people “censoring” academics are his friends. RE:

Vinay Prasad is claiming that’s he’s been censored. LinkedIn is the villain.

On the Natalism Discourse: my persistent frustration w/liberals is the lack of understanding of how to play oppositional power politics. This is how the right comes to own - and then gut - so many common sense issues the left could win - how “achievement” or “merit” came to be right-coded, for ex.
#Propaganda101: Propagandists frame arguments by redefining their terms to suit themselves — right there in the moment. Here, we have “<term>, which means <ridiculous exaggeration tapping MAGA victim complex>” It’s often some BS thought-terminating cliche- but it’s effective for their audience. RE:
