To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.

A 21 day-old cannabis plant showing the first, second, third and forth node, plus branching at node two. It's still too early for the first pre-flowers. They should appear in about seven days.

A 21 day-old cannabis plant showing the first, second, third and forth node, plus branching at node two. It's still too early for the first pre-flowers. They should appear in about seven days.

They took four days to break through the soil. Some people don't count this time into the age of the plant, but I do. This one is now 21 days old and the forth set of real leaves is now appearing. Normal growth imo.
It's too early to switch to 12/12 but growers are often told to switch in week two.

Trubble in Biesbosch He loves jumping from the bow to the bench in the middle just for fun. We are travelling at about 10 knots over water. His balance is brilliant. This is how he grew up.

This is how I keep my dog busy.
The motor broke down just after this and we ended up rowing back to the harbour.

The #cannabis seedlings on the right are 15 days old (they emerged from the soil 11 days ago). Five days later, they've been re-potted and are growing nicely.
The 20 day-old plant on the left is a new f1 hybrid, a cross between Blue Gelato & Aix Dream f2. I called it Aixtreme Blue.

Trees are good, but meat & dairy are not.
If Britain wants to become self-sufficient, use the farm land for growing fruit & veg.
Of course the meat & dairy lobby are having none of this.

With gas prices soaring, some people might search for cheaper transportation options. In many cites, a bicycle is a cheap and easy way to get around gas free. Give it a try.

AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.
