Good, fuck ‘em. The federal gov’t should buy their land out of bankruptcy & offer it for free in 10 acre chunks to anyone willing to complete an agroecology training program
Andy Beshear: I've got soybean farmers. 100% of them voted for Trump. They lost their first client in USAID. Linda McMahon canceled the farm-to-cafeteria program. Trump's tariff pushed China away. All of your farm machinery runs on diesel. And finally, a third of the world's fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz. They are on the verge of declaring bankruptcy.

100% of the “neither left nor right” types are ethno-nationalist alt-right freaks who are terrified of the social consequences of publicly owning it. Cowards and worms

Made by betas for betas
Why have I bought into the Muskonomy? This is why. At 9pm on a Friday night I got in my wife’s car to pick up her Target order. I made it one house down before the car started throwing flat tire warnings. I pulled over and sure enough. It was flat. I very slowly drove it right back into our driveway, hopped out, and filed a claim through the Tesla app with my Tesla insurance. Within minutes a tow truck was dispatched to pick the car up and take it to the nearest Tesla service center. Since they’re open Saturday’s, the car will be ready for pickup tomorrow with a repaired or new tire. On any other car this would be a nightmare. Trying to find a tire shop over Saturday and Sunday, make sure my tire is in stock, pay a towing company to come get it… it would consume the weekend. Not with my @tesla though. A few taps of the screen and all I have to do it pick it up at the end. Wow.

Figured I’d show off this Purple-Spored Puffball in its natural habitat for #FungiFriday These beauties are hard to miss in the open, grassy spots they like to pop up in, & they’re fairly simple to ID due to their size & colors. Tasty as a mug, too! #dirtmagic

A key factor in identifying them is the white flesh inside. Poisonous earthballs will have dark colored flesh. So always cut em open & check thoroughly.

Not to get all political, but how does the left ever recover from this

The only thing funnier than watching these clowns crash out in the replies is knowing that this is what they’ll all be remembered for the most. The whole world knows what y’all are. This is your legacy.

“Your dad’s breath smells like Bradford pears, got no fruit in his looms” is such a coldass line
There ain’t no golden era. Every smart human that ever lived romanticized the times of two generations ago. When we got farms, mind’s eyes all looked to the age of stalking wild game with light feet and spears. When man made tractors we turned wistfully to mule and plow.

This is not "keeping politics out of music." If he wanted to do that he just would have played the show and not said anything. This is a political message designed to suppress a certain kind of speech he disagrees with.
Metallica frontman James Hetfield recently called out artists who turn their concerts into political rallies, saying: “Metallica is not here, like some other entertainers, to influence you with their BULLSH*T.” Do you agree with James? Should musicians keep politics out of concerts, or should artists use the stage to speak about what they believe in? Let’s debate. What do you think? #Metallica #JamesHetfield #HeavyMetal #Metal #ThisDayInMetal

This is due in no small part to the CIA-backed anticommunist Iowa Writers Workshop-style of bourgeois navel gazing that has come to totally dominate contemporary fiction. It’s just one narcissistic personal drama after another
With her lonely stand for Palestine, Sally Rooney has exposed the contemporary literary world as a nest of cowards and careerists Where are all the Doris Lessings, Harold Pinters, John Bergers, Graham Greenes, Samuel Becketts that once raised their voices against war and injustice? Rooney stands almost alone

We’ve got a few of these Winged Sumacs here at the new place but they ain’t happy. Too much shade & no males/females close by, I reckon. But if ye set em up right, they’re definitely worth having around for the tasty, late-season berries & nice fall colors #dirtmagic

You can ID them by the little wings along the stems between the leaves. They’re a lot like staghorn sumac & have many of the same uses. And don’t worry, poison sumac grows in very specific wetland areas. Not where you usually find the staghorn & winged varieties.

Okra is just an absurdly beautiful plant, even if it weren't delicious to eat I imagine we'd grow it for its blooms and foliage alone

Metallica is & always has been trashass, cookie cutter pop metal for cul-de-sac crusaders who think their tattoos make them tough. Folk whose biggest struggle in life is who to pick in fantasy football. We know y’all don’t stand for nothing. Y’all ain’t gotta tell us.
