I know you’ve all been waiting for this!
The ultimate sun-dried tomatoes!
I see a new market for cosmic-ray-dried tomatoes
Solar flare cured tomatoes.
Apparently, just an accident and not an intentional attack…
There’s space yeast beer, so why not?

Evans did podcast about the 2nd American Civil War in 2019.
And wrote a scifi book about the aftermath:

Book and the audiobook are free.
They are also nuts if they think Minnesota would also be in that mix. Idiots.
You betcha!
It just occurred to me: after fifty-plus years of space exploration, we just grew the first tomato in space, this year. Yet there are people still walking around preaching that humans on Mars is right around the corner. Gimme a break.
Space is all about potatoes. I saw a movie about that.
This also involved fertilizer, didn’t it?
Well, there is this one guy who wants to go to Mars and is full of it, so this might work out after all.
Seems like a great metaphor for the last few years…
I’m gonna go cry now…
New Minnesota state flag design chosen!

Not everyone was pleased with the final selection or the process the commission took to get there. Two Republican legislators who served as nonvoting members of the commission plan to introduce legislation to put the final design to a vote of the public, though there are questions about whether that’s constitutional.
The commission tasked with redesigning the state’s emblems landed on a design Tuesday that features the shape of Minnesota, cast in a deep blue and topped with an eight-point star facing north. The stripped-down design also features a solid block of light blue to represent Minnesota’s water.
The North Star chosen for the flag mirrors one in the State Capitol rotunda and is similar to a star included in another flag finalists’ design. The commission debated whether to make the K shape asymmetrical like the state’s actual borders, but chose a symmetrical design.
Designers and commission members consulted on the final options with members of the North American Vexillological Association, which rates state flags. They gave Minnesota’s longstanding state flag an F. The new flag is considered by vexillologists to be among the best state designs in the country, commission members said.
BTW they settled on the new state seal design last week

Tribes criticized Minnesota’s old state seal as racist. The new one includes Dakota language.
They chose the best of the final three, but they couldn’t help messing with the design, could they. They should have stuck with the Land / Ice / sky colours in the fly.
