If you don't use herbicides, one of the better ways to choke out weeds is just lay a tarp on the ground for a few weeks. Also, it's warm, humid, & full of crickets under there. AKA the perfect hospitality for snakes. This one was living her best life. Until we rudely picked the tarp up

Coulter pines are native to the coastal mountains of Southern California and northern Baja California. They are famous for producing the heaviest seed cones of any pine species in the world. These examples are middling— they can be 15” long and 11 pounds. My shoe is a size 8.

Musk would do this through those f*cking Trump Accounts they opened in every child's name without parental consent. I HATE these SO much. Parents cannot close the accounts. Parents cannot reject donations to the accounts. And we must hold on to donations for at least 5 years. I'm a state lawmaker.

corruption and fraud above a certain amount should be treated as seriously as murder. because fraud kills. corruption kills. when a congressman pushes a bill to, say, build a highway because they personally will make $3 million selling land for that project, we should lock them up for life.

this more or less already happened in California due to Prop 13 in the late 70s and now boomers like Ray Warner pay effectively nothing in property taxes but people under 40 pay $10k-25k per year. every time a boomer says this, they’re trying to rob you.

on principle I don't want an edit feature but I swear I thought I fixed "Go Good" to "So Good". the song is "So Good" and it is so fucking good. someone suggested it be a B-side to Kendrick's "Dodger Blue" and yes fucking plz. I do be craving this old school r&b lately.

I have a dedicated tolkienfic writing mix but the problem I currently have is that KPDH's "Golden" and Jhene Aiko's "Go Good" want to loop with the moody/dark indie rock/folk mix I got going and this is before we talk about Kyle Gordon for the biggest mood whiplash

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

starting to forget that this is a bullshit draft, too, and i CAN insert bullshit words that don't quite fit the pseudo-tolkien prose feel bc we are so far away from a final draft. just bullshit it. we can fix the words later.

Two debating styles: 1. El-Sayed. Acts like a skilled boxer as he throws jabs early and often at his opponent until they are weakened and then opens it up. 2. Ossoff. Pulls the sink from the green room in the back and starts beating his opponent with it right away. Does not stop until its over.

To me, if you plan to vote, there's no reason to vote on "official" election day if your state has early voting. Get it out of the way and keep it moving.

If your historical setting is a major city it was never an all white place. Traders, migrants, laundry, railroad...pick a time period, somebody of color was always present. Sometimes as servants, more often as people going about their business. That's not DEI casting, that's actual history.
