Does anybody know why this is happening on my philodendron billietiae? Most of the roots have grown down toward the reservoir, except for this one. The plant seems pretty happy and is working on a new leaf.

Also, it really needs something to climb. I would like to use something lower maintenance than a moss pole, but I know that’s really the best for aerial roots. I’d like to hear people’s thoughts!

Ben Cohen was one of seven people who were arrested at the hearing held by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, the spokesperson said.

Moments later, Cohen rose to his feet and accused Congress of playing a role in the deaths of children in Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war.

Nice. Someone get Ben to join PSL.

Ljubljana (AFP) – The first Melania Trump statue in her native Slovenia was destroyed by fire and now its bronze replacement has gone missing, prompting a police investigation.

The life-sized bronze of the US first lady was unveiled near her hometown of Sevnica in 2020, towering over a field on a tree stump, after arson destroyed the previous wooden statue.

According to police and the bronze's creator, American conceptual artist Brad Downey, the statue was chopped off at the ankles and carted away.

"The theft was reported on May 13 and immediately police officers visited the crime scene and launched an investigation," police spokeswoman Alenka Drenik Rangus told AFP on Thursday.

Downey said he learnt about the theft while preparing a new project in Germany and said he was "a bit sad that it's gone".

"My feeling (is) that it has something to do with the new election (of Donald Trump), but who knows, right?" Downey told AFP.

He added when the original statue had been burnt "it didn't feel right" so he decided to replace it with a bronze copy, which he has described as an "anti-monument, anti-propaganda".

The original statue featuring a blue dress and heels had been carved with a chainsaw by local artist Ales Zupevc out of a tree.

The bronze statue was placed on a private field -- fixed with concrete and metal bars -- near Sevnica toward the end of Donald Trump's first term as US president, while he was campaigning for re-election.

Melania's arrival in the White House when her husband Donald became US president raised hope he may one day visit her homeland, which has yet to happen.

Melania left the EU member of two million when it was still part of communist Yugoslavia.

In Sevnica, some 90 kilometres (60 miles) east of the capital Ljubljana, she has inspired numerous products, including cakes and chocolates, named after her.

I'm aware that it used to be owned by an ad company System1. But I found this post by the founder where he said that it's now an independent project.

Its funny that all this time they never thought just going full blown would fly. The way they would hide the things they do and they never needed to.

With the war in Pakistan i had to download reddit, insta and twitter to keep up.

I genuinely despise them so much and going back to non lemmy social media after so long just reminds me of how fucking grateful I am that Lemmy exists.

Bluesky is fine simply bc there is noone there. The people who post moved but the masses didn't.

LinkedIn in lunatics.

Reddit is probably the one ive ended up gating more than any other despite it being the one I could bear pre Lemmy.

Twitter I haven't used much anyways. But feels horrible with the limited use.

Insta is all thirst traps somehow.
