One of my favourite views, from the lower lawn #France #Gardening #Gite
After the new fosse was installed, the scalped lawn was then exposed to a relentless heatwave. Luckily, these "daisies" were tough enough to help recolonise the grass etc
Been told this is Verbena Bonariensis. When we first moved in we gave it a different name. It was everywhere, very pretty, insect friendly but overtaking everything else. We've tamed it to a few areas which has favoured other insect friendly plants. (We kept some of the nettles, as well). #Gardening #France #Gite

@jeffdavenport Hi, we have a "barn cat" who visits for food and a bit of fuss every day, looks just like your cat on the right. She prefers to go back outside at night .

In 2005 Rupert Murdoch pays $580 million for MySpace, later sells it for $35 million.
2013 Yahoo paid $$1.1 billion for Tumblr and sold it later for $3 million.
2022 Musk pays $44 Billion for Twitter.
What will the price be in 2023?

If you jailed the CEO of Starbucks and amazon for 1 day for each illegal anti-union infraction their companies commit, they'd instantly allow the company to unionize when they faced a 50+ year jail sentence after the first 24 hours.
We need to actually hold these criminals accountable.

On this, the annual Transgender Day Of Remembrance, I ask the Allies among us to help.
Don't sit idly by while a trans person is harassed, bullied, or attacked. Don't turn a deaf ear to insults, misgendering, or bigoted speech.
Please say something. Please do something.
You could save a life.

The people who create WiKipedia pages need to create one for CoSo. ๐ค
There is a Wikipedia page for Mastadon, but no mention of Counter Social.
@Coctaanatis Same in UK. What are your thoughts on Joe Biden? This side of the pond he looks good but then, we have no idea of reality in USA.

America has an oligarch problem. Between 1965 and 2015, the US CEO-to-worker compensation ratio soared from 20 to 312. According to Statista, it was 399 in 2021.

@grrlscientist @forbes Most Tories float: some sink, only to rise up and float again. The latest experiment to discover why cost the UK ยฃ30billion.๐ ๐ญ ๐ ๐ญ
@Beanc They form a UK government...๐
@Eyebee I think you're right. When I ignore ads and hate speech, it slightly diminishes over a week or so. I guess what they say about "echo chambers" is right. No clicky no see!
