David Duke endorsing Jill Stein was not on my 2024 bingo card!

Where are all the folks who insisted Biden’s not fit to lead? https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/14/us/politics/trump-town-hall-dj-music.html
There’s also a media organization out there now to satisfy every world view & cranking out content that affirms that view for you. I call this type of content “gristle.” It tastes great but it’s bad for you. We all fall for it, but I try to keep my news diet light on gristle. Once you start to recognize it, you realize it’s everywhere.

Yet another display of Nazi & Trump support happening side by side. If they didn’t need every last Nazi vote I’m sure Republicans would speak out about it? Right??

I saw a fat raccoon as big as a medium sized dog. Why is nobody talking about the giant wild animals!?
Gen-x here laughing at both

There’s lots of lemon acreage coming out in my area. 5+ years of bad returns and no end in sight has lots switching to avocados or other crops. This was about 40 acres of older lemons (50+ years old) a neighbor just pulled out. I’ve seen 4-5 similar blocks scattered around the county.
This isn’t as alarming as it may sound. East of us a ton of new lemon acreage has just come into full production. Those trees were planted 10-15 years ago before the market turned. The younger trees produce more fruit and are in their prime. Older trees like these just need to get rotated out when there’s a surplus like there is now.
It’s an expensive endeavor to redevelop blocks like this: excavator to pull trees and pile them, bucket grinder that can mulch whole trees, spreading the mulch, buy new trees, labor to plant the trees and run new irrigation lines. Then wait 5 years for the first crop to come in. During those years we still have to irrigate, weed, prune & fertilize all which cost money.
