Look at this big beautiful carpenter ant major from my Camponotus pennsylvanicus colony! I picked her up with the paint brush and just let her wander around on my hand for a bit. She's so gentle and curious.

The Duke of Cambridge keeps on running his mouth about population growth in Africa of all places.

It's likely that a "World City" will emerge in South Africa or maybe Nigeria. Possibly more than one in the region. Africa has many big cities. But nothing on the order of a New York, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, São Paulo...

This means population growth. And just like every other region in the world it will have an impact.

The Duke can go bulldoze some London suburbs if he cares about nature.

Watching the regulatory and retail jockeying for the ability to sell weed and vapes in NYC is so depressing. Everyone wants to collect the rent— a lot of small businesses owners (i mean real small businesses! like “I saved up from job at the fry shack”small) are basically doomed. They will never get a license because you need money and connections and like five people have the market cornered.

And all these trashy little shops can’t fall back on selling vapes now either. Seems intentional.

The general notion floating around seems to be that "one simply could not" put a former president in a prison. Unthinkable!

But, I mean, would he be any any real exceptional danger when compared to other inmates? I don't think so.

Is there a way to force all involved to really explicitly articulate their reasons for special treatment should it be needed due to a conviction? It seems like a lot of classist BS to me.

And, I will also take the house arrest or whatever, but I will question it.
