My current position is that pest control companies are a racket.
If they only poison all of the little animals in a foraging radius, then they've successfully solved the current infestation while guaranteeing repeat business when little animals expand back into the void in a few months.
They should be finding and closing the places where the animals are getting into the house.

I know it's a small thing among current global horrors, but I'm sad because these back yard cuties have been killed off by a "pest control" company.
My neighbor saw a mouse in his house. The pest control expert surrounded the house with outdoor "bait stations", while promising they would only admit mice. I believe he lied, because our chipmunks have disappeared.

An antisemitic podcaster famous for hosting Kash Patel tried his hand in crypto. It didn’t end well.
The controversy centers on $JPROOF, a memecoin Peters launched in April. To give you a sense of what kind of people we’re dealing with here, the name is a reference to Peters’s claim that the way the coin is set up guarantees that it will be “Jew-proofed”—that is, safeguarded from the malfeasance of Jewish bankers.

@aSweetGentleman The worst I see are these Google Play store ads in some games for plant care which are pure, horrible scam. They let you make a photo and then say if your plant wants to drink milk, beer, or have a stronger cocktail.
Mainly made for collecting data or in-app payments. And so many people who *believe* it!
OH NO! I just got 2 text message saying I have unpaid traffic tickets and must pay immediately!
None of the links end in .gov.
Both messages originated in The Philippines (country code 63)...
Yeah. Sure it's legit. NOT. F***ing scammers.
And I just got a 3rd one from some weird address.

“'Maybe you could organize your plants like this',” my friend’s text message said, with an attached photo of white pots of plants floating midair in front of a huge, sunny window. As a newbie plant collector, I do need to organize my growing collection of flora, but not like this — the photo was AI-generated and the plants depicted were not real."
Beware of scams. There have been "online stores using AI-generated photos of fake, usually vibrant, and otherworldly-looking plants to fool consumers into buying seeds for plants that do not exist."
