A francophone posted something where they referred to the good people of Mastodon as "Mastochoux" and I am totally in love with the term.
For the non-francophones, "choux" means "cabbages" (and is a kind of pastry) but it is used as a term of affection, as in "mon petit chouchou." See https://untranslatable.ink/phrases/288/chouchou

This hurts, because, it's true: "Silicon Valley will spend millions developing a glove that translates sign language into speech (badly), but they won't spend ten minutes adding Alt-Text to their images. They will build a headset that describes the room to me (poorly), but they won't use semantic HTML headings so I can actually navigate a webpage."
Grapevines grown under solar panels produce bigger, healthier grapes.
Researchers from the University of Bari tested the approach on a Primitivo (Zinfandel) vineyard in Italy’s hot, sunny Puglia region.
*The partially shaded vines grew shoots more than twice as long as vines in full sun, and their grape bunches were nearly three times heavier at harvest.*
The shaded grapes also had lower sugar and more beneficial compounds like polyphenols, because the vines spent less energy fighting heat stress.
The setup cuts watering needs while generating clean energy at the same time.
The added humidity under the panels even helps cool them, modestly boosting their power output.
Researchers caution results will vary by region and grape variety, but in hot, dry climates it looks like a win on every front.

Why do Americans say "Instagram" and not "Insta¹⁄₃₀ounce", this is confusing

Who could possibly have foreseen this? WHO?

Over sixteen years of federal financial disclosure forms,
Chief Justice John Roberts mischaracterized more than twenty million dollars in household income from law firms appearing before the Supreme Court.
He concealed his wife’s equity stake in her employer for three consecutive years.
He failed to recuse from more than five hundred cases argued at the Supreme Court by law firms that had paid his household millions in commissions.
He architected the Court’s first ethics code and designed it to be unenforceable.
This is a course of conduct stretching across two decades,
connected by a single through-line:
the belief that the rules that apply to every other federal judge do not apply to him
