    Today in &amp;quot;if you can&amp;#39;t beat em, join em&amp;quot;: the birds kept crashing through or attempting to land on my bean plants on their way to the feeder. I kept finding broken stems and leaves with claw marks. A sort of &amp;quot;desire path&amp;quot; - better to accommodate the need than fight it. So I made the birds a perch. Chuffed to see them actually use it, and my plants are still in one piece. #balconyGarden #containerGarden #cuteClumsyDemons

    Welp I&amp;#39;m gonna get a check-in from IT... A bird landed by my window during work, looked like a juvenile but what species? Did an image search for &amp;quot;juvenile robin&amp;quot;...nope, too round. &amp;quot;juvenile blue jay&amp;quot;... nope, too blue. We sometimes see swallows... &amp;quot;juvenile swallow&amp;quot;... no images found. What?? on the whole internet no one&amp;#39;s ever posted a picture of ... oh.

    Any #tomato experts? These &quot;indigo cherry&quot; were supposed to be all black, but it seems like all I&#39;m going to get is black shoulders. They&#39;ve had those markings since they first formed. Wondering if they&#39;ll color in if I give them more time, or of this is as much black as I&#39;m likely to get.

    @peter Maybe they could pivot to hardware/electrical eng? More pragmatic skills seem like a much better bet these days. Even if society goes down in flames we&#39;ll need people who can salvage a circuit board.

    @markdennehy @JdeBP I&#39;m not sure this is &quot;tone policing&quot; exactly. It&#39;s &quot;don&#39;t double-dog dare the manbaby with the bombs to do the thing he shouldn&#39;t do&quot;. You can&#39;t underestimate the orange shitclown&#39;s pettiness or the thinness of his skin. He will do a genocide to protect his ego.

    @GhostOnTheHalfShell @QasimRashid This is what I want to see!! A tax on vacant units would do SO much.

    It wasn&amp;#39;t enough to give us useless undersized pockets. Now they&amp;#39;re out for blood. Who decorates a pocket with razor-sharp metal bits?? This thing took a chunk out of my fingertip 🤬
