From @josephinelee and Michelle Pitcher in 2024: 24 Texas #prison units still have agribusiness operations. Nine are located on former plantations. Incarcerated workers harvest many of the same crops that slaves and later convict laborers did from 1871 to 1910. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-prison-plantations/

Redirecting

L'abattage de plusieurs dizaines d'arbres et l'arasement des talus qui les supportaient, entre Morlaix et Guingamp, au printemps 2025, a remis en lumière le fléau des destructions de haies bocagères.

« Nous vous alertons d’une très importante destruction de talus avec haies bocagères dans le même secteur de la commune de Loguivy-Plougras, en toute illégalité, et au mépris des périodes de nidifications. » 1/

Today I learned, from @NationalGeographic that potatoes probably came from a hybridization event with tomatoes!

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/plant-evolution-potato-tomato

Besides the "fun fact", this is quite important for researchers to try to recreate potatoes that are more resilient: one of the researchers from the study is described as "on a mission to develop a new hybrid potato, one that has fewer bad mutations and can also be grown from seeds, as opposed to modern potatoes, which cannot." (today you grow a potato from an elder one)

Edit: I was made aware that this last part is actually incorrect as, though potatoes are self-incompatible, one can get potato seeds from two distinct individuals.
