Lights Out: A Cyberattack: A Nation Unprepared: Surviving the Aftermath

Ted Koppel

@normonics Predicted in a book I read as a potential attack vector for terrorists. I think it was lights out by Ted Koppel. Infrastructure that is relatively easy to harm with medium caliber munitions, almost completely unprotected and exclusively sourced from overseas. What could go wrong?

Dirt to Soil: One Family's Journey Into Regenerative Agriculture

Gabe Brown
Long Story Farms, LLCLong Story Farms, LLC

@ram_farm @Vero_atLast Yeah, good point. I got blind sided early on when starting this account by quoting Gabe Brown's book, Dirt to Soil. Some agronomists attacked me for it, reading a whole lot into me quoting it that wasn't necessarily true. But I started paying attention to some of the claims then.
