Branch Floridian

How it is. How it was. I can't imagine how incredible South Florida was back in peak #Florida #Everglades times. I so wish I could somehow visit the Florida of this old map. #alligators #BrowardCounty #DadeCounty #RiverofGrass

@mercernole2021 @FsuTHC4 @BAfromThe904 I hope that Redcoat was arrested!!

So my fellow Floridians @JackLinFLL @FsuTHC4 @BAfromThe904 what say you?

@actionxander Dude!!!! I'm speechless. Absolutely floored

Florida Bay. The threshold between the Everglades and the Keys. Paddle with me through mangrove channels where crocodiles bask, wading birds patrol the shallows, and American flamingos have quietly returned to the Everglades. Wild Florida at its finest.

@DaveRosefla @fineout @GovRonDeSantis @GovKemp @grok tell me about the gains and advancements made by the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative so far.

@JackLinFLL @fineout @GovRonDeSantis @GovKemp Fla is not ahead 10 years. We are perpetually behind the growth in the state

Attn Tallahassee drivers: On same day @GovRonDeSantis was deeply skeptical about a gas tax holiday for Fla the Georgia Legislature passed a bill to suspend that state's gax tax for 60 days. Advisory from @GovKemp says he will sign it into law on Friday

@khamenei_ir Anyone have AI Khamenei on the 2026 bingo card?

@spicysalsalady Thank you!

@JackLinFLL Double ouch! I pray you’ll be ok. 🙏

Just got bit by this 6' Tessalata eel. 0/5 do not reccomend

@mermazingtracy He's moving to a gigantic aquarium.

@JackLinFLL Why were you messing with it?

@Melchizedek1972 I always think of that Papa Smurf dude from the 90's when I hear colloidal silver!! I honestly should get some of it though. Has to burn less than iodine

@JackLinFLL I use colloidal silver for things like that. Bacteria hates silver… once it gets into the wound infection almost never sets in. Great for tooth and gum trouble too.

@ronhanforth @manateenative2 Pure muscle. I remember the first time I saw someone catch a giant green one on a party boat when I was like 6 and pull it up on deck. It bit two dudes bad before the captain came running down and kicked it out a scupper lol

@JackLinFLL @manateenative2 Ouch! Those mother Effers have some serious muscle behind their bite!! Got bit on the forearm once. My entire arm was purple and yellow, as well as a serious gash when I was in my 20s.

@bstumac @DurtRed Always. The only way to keep going without worrying about making it worse.

@JackLinFLL @DurtRed Paper towel and duct tape = my go to Band Aid.

@prestonjbyrne Common 1A W

The UK's censorship agency, Ofcom, issued 4chan with a giant fine today. We responded to Ofcom with a giant hamster today.

@Andyts761 No. Just another moray eel species. I was just telling my buddy I much rather would have been lit up than bit lol

@JackLinFLL Is a Tessalata eel an electric eel?

@johnjk313 @PeterDiamandis I pushed the save button on my dash cam five times today! When I empty it and put the clips together people are going to call it AI for sure hahahha

@JackLinFLL @PeterDiamandis That’s a pretty low bar. 🤣

Tesla's FSD: 5.3 million miles between accidents. US driving average: 660,000.  That's 9x safer. And it's only getting better.

@Hummingbirder The only real threat is infection so I'm just aggressively cleaning it for now. If it does anything weird I'm ready to do a course of cipro.

@JackLinFLL You sure you shouldn't check in at urgent care?

@AnwePHDofNo Thank you!

@JackLinFLL Did you need stitches? Keep an eye on it. Peace and swift healing to you.

@DurtRed Hahah i had the superglue in my hand but decoded to let it flush out instead! Really bled like a stuck pig. I wonder if the saliva has an anticoagulant in it. I scrubbed it with hot water and Dawn, dumped alcohol and lugols on it and wrapped it with paper towel and duct tape.

@JackLinFLL Since you are able to type I suspect it was a nibble.. One of theworst bites was from a pet prple headed eel about 28 inches long, teeth are serrated so it will bleed.. Use superglue, (yes even while it is bleeding it will work) Betadine.

@AnwePHDofNo So far. Hopefully I cleaned it up well enough that it doesn't get infected. Salt water bacteria can be vicious

@JackLinFLL You ok?

@mercernole2021 i can't even be mad because I think it could have taken my finger eight off if it wanted. It was just giving me a lesson in respecting personal space...

@JackLinFLL Did you talk to him about sushi

@spicysalsalady The teeth were so sharp I hardly feel it...yet! Though the alcohol and iodine I dumped on it definitely woke me up!

@JackLinFLL Ouch! Are you ok?

@manateenative2 Two slashes about 1.5" long. One of them is about 3/8" deep I estimate.

@JackLinFLL How bad is wound
