In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.

Despite the heat, then the smoke this "not a mushroom" continues to act like one. The Ghost Pipe, a plant with no chlorophyll that lives underground still decided to flower in the shady woods of upper Michigan this week.

Ben Shapiro: "This MOU appears to be a disaster that does not achieve any of the signal goals that were set by the administration at the beginning ... in my opinion the vice president, the chief negotiator, has not well served the president"

I’d go much further, the deal on the table on the eve of the war was far far more favorable than the MOU.
Crucial point from @sinatoossi.bsky.social: Trump's Iran deal almost certainly could have happened without his war. The outlines of such a compromise were previously within reach. This whole catastrophe didn't have to happen.
On the pod Sina is very good on the deal:

In the GOP, bigotry is a feature, not a bug.
REP. BRANDON GILL: This is a much more effeminate version of Beto O'Rourke ... this is somebody who is really obsessed with children ... I think of James Talarico as a barely straight version of Pete Buttigieg

Ok, so facebook and insta addiction is a thing just like heroin or alcohol except both those things are morally neutral and not posting anit-vaxx memes or picking on high school class mates.

There isn't even a reason behind American gun massacres. Not a turf war, drugs, politically motivated, nothing. Just some random person who didn't get enough attention shooting people in defenseless situations.
