She didn't even crack a hint of a smile. Just... said this like it was real.

Babe, I hope you are getting your pay upfront for this gig because it might be hard to find work after telling lies like this with a dead-serious face. #twitter #yaccarino #ElonMusk

Really? NYC has gotten warmer and wetter, but not dramatically (yet) -- I have noticed Lasius emarginatus doing well-- I never see Lasius Americanus, or neoniger anymore.

But I really think it's spraying since some blocks have life and others are dead.

Ironically people spray to kill roaches, and the spray is least effective against roaches, it kills everything else much more easily.

Then the roaches are the first to repopulate.

Great job! Now you have Only Roaches.

If you've ever seen video of one of those nightmare plague hoard roach infestations how do you think that happens? Well you have a dirty chaotic place with excellent food & water sources. This alone isn't enough. Such a gross environment would attract a whole ecosystem of critters. Not just all roaches.

No, what happens next is spraying. Killing everything. But no spray lasts forever and roaches are best adapted to move back in first. They have not competition: welcome to the nightmare.

Every environment has a "bug biomass load" that load could be a diverse collection of species or it could be all American Roaches. It's up to you!

If you use general poisons you are killing the ants, the isopods, the beetles, the flies, the spiders, the centipedes.

Most spray poisons aren't targeted. They have to be extra strong to kill the poison adapted Roach.

Baits are better, not ideal.

A basement w/ spiders, centipedes & ants will not be a welcome place for roaches.

She was “escaped” for 2 min and in that time found a ‘thing’ she simply must bring back to her nest. It’s bigger than her body— I think it’s a dead fruit fly.

The Black Community (my aunt) Needs to Stop Treating “Being Creative’ Like a Disease that has a Side Effect of ‘Turning Gay.’

“Oh he’s creative”

“she’s creative too.”

“ok but is he *creative*?”

Feels like the damn 70s. OMG

“And now, for my grand finale I shall commence to beating myself up mentally for managing to procrastinate all day without even relaxing or having any fun! I shall lament my failure to even goof off productively! Watch me go!”

It would be terrible, immature and shameful if I just had fun and didn’t get my work done. So instead I will be sad and tense constantly thinking about how much I need to do … and still procrastinate and not get my work done.

Outdoor spaces without any insects (especially ants) in warm weather are creepy. I legit get an uncanny feeling wondering What Was Done to make this little park, yard, or garden so barren.

Do not ask "how do I get rid of bugs?" instead consider "which bugs would I prefer?"

I watched like two of his videos and couldn't deal with his extreme... uh... he just isn't a man who knows many things about what he's talking about? But, also he just seems to not know much in general? Avoided him ever since.

Inconsistency is one of the most damaging and insidious forms of child abuse. I've seen the impact and it's bad.

A parent who is verbally abusive, but predictable is not good ... but much less damaging than a parent who is unpredictably abusive.
