Can he get someone to prune the hideously ginormous pollen farm of an English Plane tree outside my house?

"The Goldberg Brothers - The Inventors of the Automobile Air Conditioner
Here's a little fact for automotive buffs, or just to dazzle your friends.
The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max, invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946 , the temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees.
The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter.
Henry was curious and invited them into his office.
They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car.
They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately.
The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the patent.
The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it was installed.
Now old man Ford was more than just a little anti-Jewish, and there was no way he was going to put the Goldberg's name on two million Fords.
They haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4 million and that just their first names would be shown.
And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show --
Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max -- on the controls."

This is true, happened past week. Trinity College, Dublin has bestowed a medal upon Hunter Biden from the College Historical Society for “outstanding contribution to public discourse”.

Saw this on my “socials” feed. I’m still not sure if it’s a joke or real. I can’t find the article in the NYT app…

Doesn't look very big.

That is completely unappealing.

It's real: Vegetarian Mushroom Wellington Recipe • 4★
Looks alright if you like your mushrooms... pair it with an appropriate sauce and I think it'd do well.

Thing I don't get is I can get on board with replacing the meat with mushrooms for the vegetarian angle, but why don't you think about what other vegetables or even cheese that you could use to not necessarily make the whole thing so one dimensional. Even goats cheese perhaps, unless you would have to somehow rework it so it doesn't melt into nothing.

Of course, the more interesting bit of that article is all the comments from Australians on it or any social media post that links to the article.

Doesn't look very big.

So if one of us decides we're going to go see it, you'll be asking us, "swat are you thinking?!"

I guess it's big enough to make tourists think, "Damn, them flies out there are made of tougher stuff you gotta use that to kill 'em?!"
