Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do... write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they delivered the mail?

good morning everyone ✌🏽🖖🙏🏻

did you know that many pharmaceuticals use chemical precursors derived from crude oil❓⁉️

now: "Scientists make pain killers from pine trees instead of crude oil".

"A team of scientists, from the University of Bath's Department of Chemistry and Institute for Sustainability found a way to create two common painkillers, paracetamol and ibuprofen, out of a compound found in pine trees, one which is also a waste product from the paper industry."

Being exposed constantly on #Twitter already to the hatred that was allowed pre-ElonMusk…was not healthy and it was awful.

Now that those few filters are gone, it is getting worse.

There’s no shame in letting a thing die and starting a new thing. It’s sad, but it happens often.
