In 2012, French beekeepers encountered an unusual phenomenon when they discovered blue and green #honey in their hives. This strange coloration immediately aroused the interest and curiosity of beekeepers, and they went in search of the cause. In their investigations, they found that the bees were collecting colored sugar from a nearby M&M factory.
The factory had left remnants of colored sugar in the candy manufacturing process, and the bees had used this sugar as a food source.
Academic trolled for PhD
"An academic who received death and rape threats after posting a picture of herself on X with her completed PhD has said she feels "quite unfazed by the vitriol".
"Dr Ally Louks' post has been viewed 100 million times since she first posted it on 27 November, and has attracted more than 11,000 responses.
"The University of Cambridge supervisor, whose thesis is in English Literature, stressed the majority of comments have been "incredibly nice, kind and generous", but after her post "was retweeted by a couple of very right wing accounts" it began to attract negative attention.
"X has been approached for comment, while Cambridgeshire Police confirmed an investigation into a report of a hate incident has begun."

Two years ago, @micahflee got banned from Twitter (and later X) for posting a link to a Mastodon account that tracked Elon Musk's private jet.
Now, in the midst of an exodus from X, he's launched a tool to archive and delete your X account so you can escape, too. wired.com/story/x-delete-posts…

Data centers approved, solar farms rejected: What is going on in rural Virginia? • Virginia Mercury

Lynnesbian reshared this.
ok the reason i was (and remain) mad about this is because i used to have my reddit client save files to a folder, but i had to patch the app to work with the new reddit API bullshit and the settings got wiped, and the app defaulted to a different folder. but i couldn't change it back to use the old folder because it had so many images in it that the file picker just hanged every time i tried.
i solved it today. by moving all the files to a different folder, selecting that folder in the reddit client, then moving all the files back.
