We’re bringing back a literal blue antelope. From extinction. Because nature has range.
Today we’re announcing the bluebuck de-extinction project. Gone since 1800, this silvery, slate-blue grazer once shaped South Africa’s grasslands. Now it’s on its way back. 💪

In 2020, a small city in Wisconsin told its residents they could stop mowing for a month. 435 households joined in. The bees came back the same spring.
Appleton was the first US city to adopt No Mow May. The city council suspended its weed ordinance for the month so residents wouldn't get cited for tall grass. Around 40 acres of lawn across the city went uncut.
Researchers from Lawrence University sampled the unmowed lawns and nearby mowed city parks in the same week. The unmowed lawns had 5 times as many bees and 3 times as many bee species as the mowed parks.
Wisconsin is home to nearly 500 native bee species. Most people have never seen them because they don't live in honeybee hives. They're solitary bees, ground nesters, small black or metallic green insects that fit on a fingernail.
Appleton's unmowed yards gave them food and shelter in the hungry early-spring window when almost nothing else is blooming.
The experiment cost the city nothing. It saved residents fuel and labor. It produced measurable ecological results within 30 days.
Dozens of US cities have adopted the practice since. Has yours?
I have smoked, handled and frequently even enjoyed marijuana from time to time, and I see no reason to be rehabilitated or cured of that taste, just because a gang of faddish yahoos say marijuana is evil…

Released in 1978, the same year Jerry went to Egypt with the Dead, it remains his only studio album credited to the Jerry Garcia Band. It also gave us one of his most beloved album covers, with Stanley Mouse drawing on Egyptian iconography as the Dead prepared for their historic performances at the Great Pyramids of Giza.
