Linkedin is the only worthwhile social media. Just ignore the feed and just use it to connect with recruiters.

What a great idea. I live in the twin cities and love swimming in our urban lakes but they get shut down often with Algae and E. coli. Great initiate to swim more. I would love to swim in the Seine.

Tree of Heaven can go to Hell!!!

Cultural shift for sure. What I have found is there have been decades of old hippies working on making things ready for millennials to jump on and convincing their friends to get to this point.

Not all exotics (those not from the Americas) would be considered invasive (those that threaten an area). Most weeds are really good at conditioning the soil and if left to decompose on the locations they grew can be great at building the soil. Pulling anything without putting something to replace it is a fools errand. Also everything that is exotic isn’t bad. White clover is European in origin and a great grass replacement. Also note that some common weeds such as the dandelion are listed as European in origin but there is significant evidence it was all present in North America.

Also make sure you keep some exotics to support the exotic bees such as the honey bee which are from Europe. If you live in an urban or semi-urban environment this is basically a new biome and will need to be treated as such. a Nice mix of things that play well together and are function for you is the best method

My neighborhood is showing a transition into gardens and native plants. Its interesting that it seems to be happening with both older (retired) neighbors and newer (young children) neighbors. Its helps that the local garden centers have been doing lots of natives and grass replacements.

Quick shout out to Prairie Moon to buy your seeds. Fall seeding is great for natives

Our two dogs have been destroying the clover at the same rate of the grass but grows faster back. Just overseed any gap with clover when there are bald or low spots

Agreed. So much easier to overseed clovers, other forbs and grasses. That is what I have been doing in my lawn and its so easy

Never agreed with Barry Goldwater before. But it’s the truth

Having religion in politics has ruined both. It makes politicians uncompromising since they believe they have God on their side and thus people they disagree with as the devil. This forces those within a church to decide on their values and their church. This drives people out of the church until only the craziest remain. This was inevitable and they both deserve it

He’s way to old to be running for president. He should drop out

Tim Walz is the masculine role model that we need.

Fit

Tim Walz is a great choice. He’s amazing and will make a great fir with Harris

We all know that Rally sizes really don’t matter in politics. But if this is pissing him off all for the better. Losing at your own game

Yes it does. So owned

Trump can step down and not run. Biden did it. It’s all the rage right now

This is a quote from the organizer Ross Morales Rocketto:

“The reason that we are doing this is that … the left has been ceding white men to the MAGA right for way, way too long. Trump won over 60% of white men in both 2016 and 2020. And that is going to stop tonight, because we know that the silent majority of white men aren’t actually MAGA supporters. They’re folks like you who just want a better life for our families.”

I did wonder for a second while Kamala didn’t want to join as well. But after hearing all of the weird nonsense he sprouted. It was a great idea for her to skip this event. Let Trump do stupid things all by himself with all the negative attention

I have been saying for weeks that Tim Walz should be the VP pick. Great connection to the upper midwest as well as rural roots. We need some no nonsense midwest progressive values. Besides Minnesota is the home of VP picks.
