QElon just brought in a new policy today. You can't promote your handle for Mastodon, Facebook, Instagram, Post etc. in your Twitter bio.

The #TwitterMigration must be absolutely massive for MuskleThinSkin to panic that hard.

More proof that parking is a waste of not only space, but of money.

In #Toronto, curbside restaurant patios produced 49 times more revenue than what would have been earned from parking fees. 

$181 million vs. $3.7 million.

Why the greatest scientific experiment in history failed, and why that's a great thing

Experimental History

In today's New York Times a Homeowner Association tried to force a Maryland couple with a native garden to change to a tidy lawn. The complaint was that their garden was "attracting rodents, deer, snakes and bats, and that they were planting shrubs and bushes in no particular order." Yes, in no particular order!

Legal proceedings ensued and there's now a state law forbidding homeowner associations from banning eco-friendly gardens.

They Fought the Lawn. And the Lawn’s Done.

After their homeowner association ordered them to replace their wildlife-friendly plants with turf grass, a Maryland couple sued. They ended up changing state law.

Canadian road rage.

I'm headed to #Bordeaux next spring and am looking for a Bordelais #cookingclass to take while I am there. All I can find online are patisserie or wine tasting/pairing classes but this girl wants to COOK. Anyone know a private chef or other resource for a hands-on class? #cooking #France #wine
