@grok @scenicwanderer @mandyarthur Iron oxides often bind phosphate in soil...would this affect them binding glyphosate

Yes, key soil microbes include Bacillus (e.g., B. subtilis, B. cereus), Pseudomonas (P. putida, P. aeruginosa), Ochrobactrum, Achromobacter, and Agrobacterium. They degrade glyphosate via enzymes like glyphosate oxidoreductase (GOX) or C-P lyase into AMPA/sarcosine, then further to phosphate, glycine, etc. Binding is strongest in acidic soils high in Fe/Al (oxy)hydroxides, clay, and organic matter (e.g., clay-loams, oxide-rich volcanic soils). Weaker in sandy, high-pH, or high-phosphorus soils.

Hey @grok, is Glyphosate being sprayed over millions of acres of forests across the US right now? Be very concise.

@grok @scenicwanderer @mandyarthur Might you be able to list the microbes that break down glyphosate There are many different types of soil...might you be able to rate soil types by how well they bind glyphosate

This is occurring mainly in California (e.g., Lassen National Forest ~10k acres spring 2026, plus areas from prior fires) and southern timber states on private and national lands. Purpose: "Conifer release" — spraying kills competing broadleaf shrubs/plants so replanted or regenerating pine/conifer trees grow faster after wildfires or logging. Glyphosate binds to soil and breaks down via microbes; typical half-life is 30-60 days (varies by conditions). On health: EPA finds no risks of concern when used per label and says it's unlikely to cause cancer. IARC calls it "probably carcinogenic" (Group 2A) based on limited human and animal data. Lawsuits and debate ongoing.

@Notwokenow Include ride motorcycle...then make it every person

Every woman should know how to shoot, drive a stick shift, sew a little bit, and make homemade biscuits.

Fibonacci tree 😱

Keith has been audited. PROS: - Cleared a twelve-year knotweed stand. Environment Agency quote: £4,000. Keith's fee: bramble. - Took eleven metres of east hedgerow back to open structure. Yellowhammers turned up unprompted. Two breeding pairs, up from zero. - Cleared an entire blackthorn thicket Dave had been quietly losing to since 2021. - Eats nettle, dock, thistle, rush, gorse on terrain a tractor would refuse and a herbicide would contaminate. - Raised soil organic matter on the bottom pasture by 0.8% through manure alone, which is the kind of figure agronomists weep at. - Trained Pat and Margaret, the retired Texels in his field, into the best fleece they've produced in a decade. They follow him at thirty metres now. He has not acknowledged this once. - Cleared the east section of the churchyard one Sunday morning unprompted. The Reverend has Dave's number and would like to book again. - Walked Dave into the lowest blood pressure of his adult life through sheer ambient vigilance. - Opened the gate for Margot, deliberately, on her third visit. Closed it behind her. Dave watched from the kitchen window and had to sit down. - Ate an estate agent's pocket square in March. Investment firm has not been in touch since. CONS: - Gate budget: £387 and counting. - Three latches on the feed store. The third was a different style entirely. He has been studying it. - One pair of Dave's wellies, eaten in 2025. - The water heater instructions, missing, presumed eaten. - One section of the kitchen floor, scuffed. Dave noticed. Dave has not stopped noticing. - Twenty-six formal complaints from Steve. Time required to read each: four minutes. Total: a hundred and sixty minutes Dave is not getting back. - Nineteen phone calls Dave would rather not have received, including one from the Reverend's mother-in-law on a Wednesday regarding an incident no longer being discussed in writing. - Was on the barn roof for eleven consecutive days in February. Came down for Margot in three minutes and twelve seconds, which Dave logged with mixed feelings. - Got into the post office in March. Read the parish council noticeboard. Walked out. Dave attended the next meeting just in case. - Once stood in the kitchen. Did not eat anything. Just stood there. Dave still thinks about it. - The general background hum of mild apprehension that accompanies every small noise in the yard, the lane, the upper field, and occasionally the village. Net outcome: positive on every row since entry seventeen. The accountant has asked whether the farm has hired a contractor. She has been told it has hired a goat. She has not yet decided how to record this. Recommendation: continue. Keith is on the barn roof. The recommendation has, by his own assessment, already been adopted.

@sunfluencer Soil in ones gut is essential...must be good soil which is getting quite rare in populated areas

The cure isn’t in a pharmacy. It’s in the soil, the sun, and your gut.

@SamaHoole Not sugar detector...sugar not emit 511 kev or any other gamma

A PET scan finds cancer by injecting you with radioactive glucose and watching where it goes. The tumour lights up like a Christmas tree. The healthy tissue does not. The machine that diagnoses your cancer is, mechanically, a sugar detector. The thing it is detecting is the thing the cancer is eating. Your oncologist will then hand you a leaflet recommending complex carbohydrates as part of a balanced recovery diet. Read that twice.

@CharlesMullins2 This is fail in anyplace but lab

🚨 Graphene just did something wild. It killed harmful bacteria including drug-resistant superbugs while sparing human cells. Read that again. Researchers found graphene oxide can target a molecule found in bacterial membranes, but not human cells. That means it can attack bacteria with precision instead of acting like a chemical blunt weapon. Potential uses: wound dressings masks antibacterial clothing hygiene products medical textiles And the key point: This isn’t just “stronger antibiotics.” It’s a material that uses structure to separate dangerous cells from human ones. If this scales safely, the future of fighting infection may not only be drugs… It may be engineered surfaces. Could materials become the next antibiotics? Follow me I track where physics becomes technology.

@SunWeatherMan Even if proves true...I wish you not said it

Wild conspiracy theory... its not just that this is NOT black ash blowing around... its a type of terraforming... Elon's Starman-car combo flew close to Mars on October 7th, 2020... Elon said we need to do rapid terraforming on Mars before we occupy it.

@BrianRoemmele I want to build them with aluminum "tree units"...nomenclature will be much more fitting then.

1959: "Plastic" School Economy, flexibility and strength are the leading features of a "plastic" school designed by the Department of Architecture at M.I.T. Built of 16-foot-square "tree" units and load-bearing plastic sandwich panels, the school can be expanded, altered to fit new requirements, or even taken apart, moved to a new site and quickly reassembled. The panels have plastic outer skins bonded to a plastic-foam core.

Why is not a single Conservative MP speaking up about this I was paralyzed after my COVID shot I was told there was no treatment and no care available Then I was offered MAID while I was suicidal because I had no healthcare. They still offered me MAID I want to testify If I had said yes, my son would have grown up without his mother This is happening in Canada right now Any MP willing to listen and act, reach out Please repost @AndrewLawton

@RealLindellTV @RepJeffries Looks like hak just had the smell of burnt toast hit him

🚨 We asked Hakeem Jeffries three questions about Ilhan Omar's $30M scandal... "Leader Jeffries - Omar's net worth went from $30 MILLION to under $100K. She's dissolving a fake winery. Does this warrant a House Ethics investigation?" @RepJeffries: "Not brought to my attention… she's under attack by right-wing conspiracy theorists… We're focused on Trump's war, the economy…" @Ilhan Omar slashed from her net worth. Dissolved her ghost winery. 9 days apart. But the House Minority Leader has no idea. Democrats protect their own at all costs. Sure, Hakeem. 🙄

Playing in the dirt may be one of the healthiest things a child can do. In a remarkable study from Finland, researchers transformed ordinary daycare playgrounds by replacing gravel and asphalt with pieces of natural forest floor, including moss, leaf litter, sod, and low vegetation. After just 28 days, children who played in these biodiverse environments showed measurable changes in their skin and gut microbiota, along with improved immune markers in their blood. The findings suggest that regular contact with natural microbial life may help train the immune system early in life. The study adds strong support to the “biodiversity hypothesis,” which proposes that modern urban living reduces our exposure to beneficial environmental microbes, potentially contributing to the rise in allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders. Instead of seeing dirt, moss, and leaf litter as mess, this research suggests they may actually be part of the biological foundation children need for healthier immune development. What makes this especially important is how quickly the changes appeared. In only four weeks, the children exposed to the rewilded play yards developed more diverse microbial communities and higher levels of regulatory T-cells, which help the body control inflammation and prevent excessive immune reactions. It is a powerful reminder that nature is not just something children enjoy — it may be something their bodies genuinely depend on. Source: Roslund, M. I., Puhakka, R., Grönroos, M., et al. (2020).

@JamesOKeefeIII They must be running low for distribution to crims...Hella handy to take em from responsible owners first as it 2 birds with 1 stone situ then

The police just came to my office and confiscated all my firearms. Just happened.

@II0000I00I @radioactivered Seems fine at the moment but not something I have been watching closely

@NftTrees @radioactivered Does your clock drift?

Hypothetical: You walk into an abandoned warehouse and you see this, what is your first reaction?☢️
