my favorite part of the wikipedia article on my most famous ancestor is the section that is absolute that the rogers song has absolutely no connection to the brilliant and sexy captain barss, an absolute pillar of canadian maritime history
The Stan Rogers' song, "Barrett's Privateers" may have taken some inspiration from the exploits of Barss, although the ship described in the popular song bore little resemblance to the sleek, fast lines of the Liverpool Packet and the inept Captain Barrett has no resemblance to the skilled and successful Joseph Barss.

neat!
Methanethiol dominated emissions from the female bloom. “That smells like rotting cabbage, and it’s also present in flatulence,” says G. Eric Schaller, a plant molecular biologist at Dartmouth College who wasn’t involved with the work. In the past, researchers have attributed titan arum’s stink primarily to dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl trisulfide. This work “completely changes the concept of what are the major odorants that are being released,” he says.

Cosmo’s rate of methanethiol emission rivaled that of a landfill, the team found. The methanethiol peak was followed by peaks of methyl trisulfide, methyl disulfide, and finally dimethyl sulfide. This sequence of odorants is similar to that from a decomposing corpse but is released in quicker succession, says study coauthor Rose Rossell, an atmospheric scientist at Colorado State University. “It’s basically mimicking decomposing flesh in this really incredible way.” The male bloom emitted the same sulfurous compounds, but at much lower levels, along with aromatics, such as phenols and terpenoids, that are more typical of flowers.

a black swallowtail left her brood on my dill last weekend. not enough to share with them, so i moved a dozen them to the bountiful leaf fennel. hoping at least one of them makes it, but the birds have been making quick work of juicy snacks 🌱

Bowser is attempting to rewrite history in order to justify partial TOPA repeal. 1980 Rental Housing Conversion and Sale Act drafts originally gave rights of purchase options /only/ at market rates, with low-income financing supplements added in the final revisions.
In Bowser’s case, her proposed changes are more sweeping. Her marquee reform would largely exempt buildings less than 25 years old from TOPA, if at least 51% of the units have average rents that are considered market-rate. In essence, Bowser says that TOPA was never meant to apply to market-rate buildings, so they should be exempted since (in theory) those tenants are less likely to be displaced when sales happen.

Her bill would also allow for an exemption from TOPA for a building that has five or fewer years left on a covenant that mandates that half of the units be set aside for low- and moderate-income residents. This, say city officials, would allow for investment in these affordable properties. Relatedly, Bowser wants to amend TOPA to clarify that it doesn’t apply when buildings are refinanced or the capital structure changes. (That could mean a part owner of a building decides to increase their ownership stake in the property.)
