About time! One of the spice seedlings popped up in less than a day, the little racer, and the second maybe a day or two after; only now have their fellow seedlings begun to arch their way out of the soil. And for sweatshirt's sake, now the other spice cupboard experiment decides to sprout?! Confirmed - nightshades like heat.

I have to say - after all the countries (vocab 意大利, 西班牙, 美国 off the top of my head) on whom you tried to pass blame, now you're blaming a global organization? A nature as straightforward as this deserves all the accolades and respect of the term 豺狼政权, and any similar forms of address I can find. (My most recent linguistic experiments 匹夫吏僭 and 奴吏见 could use some new additions.)

It didn't help that 豺狼政权 had the support, conscious or not, of a Junction now so known for its scapegoating that it's the only means that it can think of to sell, despite the numbers strongly suggesting, along with the lazy thumbnail-title associations and SEO repetitions in my feed, a failure it has yet to learn from. (Aquariums and laptops only because I haven't found the months-long gap between a conservative publication's coverage of the pandemic and a left-wing publication's. And it must be difficult how the sting of projection has faded.)
