I just looked at the Wikipedia page and I think it’s fine. They’ve cited some sources which detail the debate about which pollinators actually pollinate the plant. Compared to someone who’s got a degree studying plants, I know basically nothing. I’m just repeating what I’ve heard. If they’ve got a list of pollinators and are trying to narrow down the right one, then they’re closer to the truth than I am.
That’s only outside their native range. In Mexico, where they’re from, they’re pollinated by the Melipona bee. Mexico is currently 3rd place in vanilla production at 6.5%, so you’re not wrong to say the majority of vanilla plants are pollinated by hand, but they do have a natural pollinator. In theory, you could introduce the Melipona bee to areas where Vanilla has been imported to cut down the labor time/costs.
That’s just the price of being an invader nation. By definition, Israel can never know peace, only armistices between further acts of war. Unless they manage to genocide Palestinians world wide, they will always face attacks on their invader population/infrastructure/society. It’s a feature of colonization. Netanyahu knows this, but is trying to maintain his position by bringing home an unattainable victory.
Wait, wasn’t Guantanamo Bay where the US tortured a bunch of innocent people? You’d have to be a sick/sadistic psychopath to laugh at crimes against humanity.
It’s an interesting dance they’re doing with this article, because it’s clear that they themselves know why, but can’t say it for fear that one of their reporters will also be jailed in the future. (For those who are curious, the reason Israel is jailing/killing journalists is because it’s currently engaged in genocide and war crimes.)
The Dems are fragmenting and it’s Biden’s fault. He’s too old and frail to be president. Ideally he would’ve taken the route LBJ took and announced his decision to abstain from running a re-election campaign, then endorsed the chosen nominee.
This is such a dystopian way to fine the public.
The Biden administration tried to prevent the war from expanding.
At every point in the development of this conflict, his administration has enable Israel to escalate and expand its military attacks upon countries within the region.
Two things people forget:
The only reason he feels betrayed is because he’s taken an unpopular political position and has tried to strong-arm the academic class into adopting his position. When that failed, he began lashing out through a smear campaign, which his wife then immediately became a casualty of. She caught a stray because he didn’t want to back down.
This is a retaliatory smear campaign to remove anyone who disagrees with him. He wants to hire/fire people until academic leadership reflects his worldview. Since he can’t invoke the unpopular politics which led him to these actions, he’s made Plagiarism the cover of his McCarthyist campaign to root out opposition to his political agenda.
Strange to see a man go to war against academics just to prove how common it is for the members of his class to steal from others, just so his wife won’t feel guilty/singled out.
This is completely false. Also, Ukraine has been begging to join NATO since Russia invaded. Western Europe rightfully refused to allow their inclusion (because it’d start WW3) and told them it was tough luck that the Ukrainian Regime was foolish enough to believe the Brits and Americans. They should’ve gone along with the peace negotiations Russia offered in 2022 or just honored the Minks agreements.
All that means is that Hamas lacks the resources to resist genocide on their own. If we expect a people under siege to be able to fight off tanks with rocks, then we’re in support of their extermination.

Israel clearly wants a regional war. Why else would they be committing all this violence and performing acts of terrorism in neighboring countries?
Glad to hear they’re going home. Hopefully they don’t run into any more poachers.
This cop sounds like a serial killer.
This is a violation of HIPAA and the rights of patients to privacy.
It could be that some of that data was scraped from FB messenger.
