If you’re lucky enough to go St. John, VI, just know that there’s a lot more to do than go to the beach.

@MikeBales “Grew up” doing a lot of work there.

@NuggzTheArtist I disagree

I got it. That second shot will lay you the fuck out the next day.

Day after day that you’re fine.

"We have a vaccine that prevents shingles, a vaccine that markedly lowers the risk of dementia, and a vaccine that might even slow aging itself. Conveniently, these three vaccines are actually just one: the shingles vaccine. But fewer than half of eligible Americans have received the vaccine." https://t.co/VKyZMDHJdj

@bendreyfuss I just started the latest season and I already hate it. This show might just have to end without me.

[Horatio Cornblower @HoratioCornblo3]

@wobblymami Oh, more than one.

@deff_jobbs @bendreyfuss Hang on now, no oyster crackers smashed up and thrown in there? Because I’m pretty sure that’s the closest I’ll come to seeing the face of God.

The American chestnut was the dominant tree of the eastern US forest for thousands of years. One in every four trees in the Appalachians was a chestnut.

Then, between 1904 and 1940, a fungal blight from Asia killed roughly four billion of them. The species nearly went extinct as a forest tree within a single human lifetime.

The recovery effort is now in its fourth decade. The American Chestnut Foundation breeds disease-resistant hybrids by crossing American chestnuts with blight-resistant Chinese chestnuts, then backcrossing for generations to recover the American tree's form.

Other researchers have used gene editing to insert a wheat gene that detoxifies the blight.

The first restoration plantings are alive and growing in the Appalachians. They won't be mature for another 50 years.

None of the people who started this work will see it finished, but we should all be glad they're doing it.

@bendreyfuss I find a little of Tom Hardy goes a long way. He’s great in a 2 hour movie. The main character in an extended series? Woof.

[Horatio Cornblower @HoratioCornblo3]

For once I agree with his decision-making.

@rkylesmith @bendreyfuss No, he threw away a Pizza Hut food product.

Completely different

@TheAuthorGuy @ok6ixx /me, pitching an absolute fit because I can’t figure out who this fucking Lamb guy is.

@sondraa I walk my dog in the woods, so not really an issue. But I gotta scratch my head about the people who bag their dog shit in the woods, then leave the bag in the woods.

[Horatio Cornblower @HoratioCornblo3]

@TownsUsa @PawlowskiMario Instant block. No reason to engage with trash like that.

@RAKEwBLAKE Aaron Judge has played 148+ games every year since 2021 except for 2023, when he broke a toe on the Dodgers dumbass raised cement wall. He’s played in all 32 of the Yankees games this year.
