When the Roman Empire fell, it was the Catholic Church that picked up the pieces. When the Black Plague ravaged Europe, she held it together. When the Muslims invaded, it was the Church that fought back. It increasingly looks like the Church will have to rise to occasion again.

@_Matt_Hammond_ Eh. So long as they have grass to eat, they take care of themselves. Milkers are a bit more work of course

@gingermaneditor Maybe we should start with chickens and work our way up to cows. People think dogs are a bigger responsibility than cats. I do not think they are ready for cows.

I'm going run for president on a platform of everyone gets a baby cow. I will win the biggest landslide in history.

@_Matt_Hammond_ Nice. I'm excited to finally see new life breathed into the industry I've spent my adult life in.

There are several designs that are being built in Idaho that will be operational this year. Project Pele: Developed by BWXT, this is a transportable microreactor designed for the Department of Defense. It is expected to be tested at INL in 2026, aiming to be the first Gen IV reactor to generate electricity in the US. MARVEL: A microreactor designed to produce 1-5MW of electricity, intended for remote communities and industrial heat, expected to be operational around 2026. Aalo-X: Aalo Atomics is constructing an experimental modular reactor, aiming for criticality by July 4, 2026, near the INL campus. Oklo Aurora: Oklo is working with the DOE on a pilot program to deploy their fast-fission powerhouse at INL, with initiatives aiming for operation by mid-2026. Other states that will bring them online this year. Tennessee: Kairos Power is building the Hermes demonstration reactor (a fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactor) in Oak Ridge. It could be operational as early as 2026 Texas: Natura Resources is building a 1 MW Molten Salt Reactor (MSR-1) on the Abilene Christian University campus, with a goal of being the first Gen IV reactor to deploy in the U.S. by 2026. These will come online later. MCRE (Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment): A public-private partnership (Southern Company, TerraPower, Core Power) creating the world's first fast-spectrum, molten salt-fueled reactor. It uses high-temperature, liquid fuel and is expected to operate around 2028-2030. Wyoming: TerraPower is building its first Natrium plant (a sodium-cooled fast reactor) in Kemmerer, at the site of a retiring coal plant. It is expected to be operational by 2030. Texas: X-energy is constructing four Xe-100 high-temperature gas-cooled reactors at a Dow Chemical plant in Seadrift. Washington: X-energy and Energy Northwest are partnering with Amazon Web Services to deploy up to 12 small modular reactors (SMRs) using X-energy's Gen IV design. Virginia: Dominion Energy and Amazon are collaborating to bring SMRs to the state to power massive data center clusters

Wouldn't even notice it at Buc-ees

@_Matt_Hammond_ Gen4 or SMRs?

@gingermaneditor Supposedly one or two of them will be complete by 2027 with more coming online by 2030.

Cover of the next Forgotten Euin book? @TheJasonAnspach @RealNickCole

@_Matt_Hammond_ If only we could build some...

@gingermaneditor Gen 4 nuclear plants are amazingly efficient.

@_Matt_Hammond_ @igarglewithfire Tom Bombadil per my youngest.

@gingermaneditor @igarglewithfire What is her name? Jerky? Filet? Skirt Steak? Milk Milkerson?

We haz new cow!

Ummm...don't.

@McBq5csbk8sm This is one born a few months ago when she was new.

@gingermaneditor More cow pics please!

@Alien_LifeLine Jersey/dexter

@gingermaneditor Is it a Jersey House cow? I dream of a jersey house cow 🫶

"Will you change your party affiliation to Democrat?" Rep. Thomas Massie: "I vote with Republicans 91% of the time, and the 9% I don't they're taking up for pedophiles, starting another war, or bankrupting our country." 🔥

Worth resetting

Welp

Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump called him on the House floor after he pushed to release the Epstein files. Trump told him three times: "I'm coming at you like you've never seen in your life." This video was deleted from twitter yesterday, you know what to do ‼️‼️

Nothing

The final red pill is understanding that Christianity is escaping the matrix

@ScottPalmer2025 Nope. She'll go to freezer or auction probably. Or a coworker was expressing interest.

@gingermaneditor Is this for milking? I had to look up a Dexter. I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. We had Holstein and Geurnsey for milk and Charolais and Simmental for beef cattle.

@NadaBotski3 Winning!

@gingermaneditor We had one drop yesterday.

Do a barrel roll!

@ScottPalmer2025 Jersey/Dexter mix. But yeah, now that you mention, it does look like a Brown Swiss.

@gingermaneditor Is that brown swiss?

Hah! I kept most of my physical media. Pro tip - find libraries that have a little store in them. You can find CDs and DVDs for a buck or two.
