Who Me?

@Odin50078129 @archeohistories The next time I consider using the term "shit for brains", I will remember you fondly

In early 1900s, one of the most important trees in the eastern U.S., the American chestnut, was wiped out almost completely. It was everywhere across Appalachia. People built homes and barns from it, ate its nuts, and relied on it like no other tree. But by the time this photo of the Shelton family was taken around 1920, they were standing next to a dead giant, one of the last of its kind. The killer? A foreign fungus called Cryphonectria parasitica that showed up in New York in 1904. The chestnut had no natural defense against it, and the fungus spread fast, 50 miles a year, until it had infected nearly every tree. By the 1950s, about 4 billion American chestnuts were gone. Even before that, another disease had already been hurting chestnuts in southern areas. The tree was being attacked from all sides. Today, oaks and hickories fill the gap, but none had the same impact. The chestnut’s death wasn’t just an environmental loss, it changed the entire culture and ecosystem of Appalachia. © Reddit #archaeohistories

@Catholic_bro @DaleStarkA10 Your prayer worked! He got called home

Lord Jesus Christ, Physician of our souls and bodies, look with mercy upon your servant who has been wounded. Stay the flow of blood, drive away all fear, give strength to the body and peace to the soul. Through the intercession of Our Lady of Sorrows, who stood by the Cross, and of St. Sebastian, martyr and protector against wounds, grant healing if it be Your will, and eternal rest if You call them home. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

@Whosbigben @jennycohn1 @cguld @AriMelber Classic signs of a tweaker

In response to @cguld’s video played on @AriMelber, Roger Stone claims that he never proposed actually ** seating ** the “fake” electors. But if he didn’t plan to seat those electors, why did he propose using “armed guards” to block Biden’s electors? 1/

@CollegeFix What event? For a writer you sure suck at communication.

UC Davis Chancellor Gary May falsely claimed that Charlie Kirk advocated for violence against LGBT people hours before Antifa attacked the event last night. thecollegefix.com/uc-davis-chanc…

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll contribute to the global overdepletion of the ocean. So give him a salad, maybe.

"Hello God". Please. Don't try to make all kissy-kissy with Me now, Twitter. It's too late. You messed with the wrong Near Eastern Bronze Age sky-father-king projection. By the time I'm done with you, MYSPACE will laugh at your relevance.

This year, give the gift of philosophy. I've found that everyone loves to have their core beliefs questioned, especially if you are really smug about it.

Who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived, or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?

This is the only criticism of millenials I will accept

Most nerdy people in the history of philosophy: 1. Hilary Putnam 2. Rudolf Carnap 3. Baruch Spinoza 4. Bertrand Russell 5. Henry David Thoreau Least nerdy: 1. Albert Camus 2. Diogenes 3. Plato 4. That's it, there are only three non-nerds, and Plato is iffy.
