The berries are red and very sweet. If it isn't currant, I'm in trouble.

  • fwiw, PlantNet says alpine currant (R. alpinum).

    • What am I growing here?

    Jump

  • Some type of Brassica: field mustard, mustard greens, or cabbage.

    • Saw a goldfinch in my bee balms.

    Jump

  • I love leaving all my flower seedheads for the goldfinches (I may also be a very lazy gardener)!

    • What are some quality YouTube channels that you recommend?

    Jump

  • Haha yeah I think they have some of the same writers but Cody gets a bit weird with it (have you met Warmbo yet?)

    Glad you like it!

    • What are some quality YouTube channels that you recommend?

    Jump

  • Some More News - a disheveled and sarcastic anchor does a deep dive into a current topic

    Contrapoints - an ex-philosopher does a really deep dive into a topic (sometimes a concept or a phenomenon, sometimes a particular person or event), with incredibly high production value and costumes. Unfortunately this means she only puts out 2 videos a year, but they're now usually 1-2 hours long.

    Podcasts - some have YT channels, but often no video, so if you're looking for something to watch, this may not be helpful

    Behind the Bastards - a deep dive (often 2+ hour+ episodes) into different historical or current terrible people

    5-4 - a podcast about why the Supreme Court sucks

    Maintenance Phase - two journalists talk about various health, diet, and wellness scams and misconceptions

    If Books Could Kill (no YT channel) - Michael Hobbes from Maintenance Phase and Peter from 5-4 talk about "airport books"--bad pop science books

    You're Wrong About - Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes (until late 2021) talk about pop culture misconceptions, everything from O.J. to the Satanic Panic to Iran-Contra and more.

    • PSA, you can add subreddits as an RSS to view without supporting Reddit

  • Is there an Android app that will display both the post and comments in-app? It seems like all the ones I've tried can display the images/posts, but will send you to reddit if you want to read the comments.

    Ones I've tried:

    • Feeder
    • Feedly
    • Plenary
    • Flym

    • Permanently Deleted

  • Hoar frost!

    • Possum in a bowl

    Jump

  • I would die for this possum

    • I heard we're posting beans. This is Bean and his multicolored beans.

    Jump

  • Someone's gotta!

    • I heard we're posting beans. This is Bean and his multicolored beans.

    Jump

  • He seems to think so!

    • Quiet and strong fan

    Jump

  • Vornado makes powerful fans. I think they're pretty quiet on low and medium, less so on high, but YMMV depending on your noise tolerance. I haven't tried Dyson but they are outrageously expensive (and I think I've seen a video on them not moving much air, I'll come back with the link if I can find it).

    Edit: video
