Jason and Brian dive into a whirlwind of tech chaos, cultural absurdities, and dystopian developments. They kick things off with a nostalgic nod to the internet's past, highlighting the 88x31 GIF collection and quirky single-use websites like "Trump Golf Track" and "Are We Doomed Yet?" The asteroid 2024 YR4 briefly raises existential dread as NASA's odds of a 2032 Earth impact fluctuate wildly, but relief follows as updated calculations show a near-zero chance of collision. Meanwhile, Elon Musk dominates the headlines with his bizarre CPAC appearance brandishing a chainsaw, Tesla's anti-theft dye measures for Supercharger cables, and mounting protests against his political entanglements and government layoffs under DOGE.The episode also covers corporate drama and AI controversies. The New York Times introduces newsroom AI tools amidst its legal battles with OpenAI, while Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella urges the industry to temper AI hype. Uber sues DoorDash over alleged anti-competitive practices, and Meta unveils plans for the world's longest undersea cable alongside LlamaCon, its first generative AI conference. Meanwhile, Humane abruptly discontinues its AI Pins following an HP acquisition, leaving users scrambling. The hosts also explore Musk's meddling with X's Community Notes and blocking Signal links, further eroding trust in the platform.On the media front, Jason and Brian discuss upcoming releases like Daredevil: Born Again, The Last of Us Season 2, Apple's Murderbot series, and Judd Apatow's Norm Macdonald documentary. They wrap up with listener feedback, shout-outs to Patreon supporters, and a hilarious anecdote about a Tesla showroom protest featuring an employee's cheeky “We Hate Him Too” sign. As always, the duo blends sharp insights with biting humor to dissect the week's madness.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Watkins Glen (Mayapple Press, 2021) is the story of Susan -- a woman in her sixties -- who finds herself taking care of her estranged older brother Mark, who has Alzheimer's. They are the children of a father who worked in his brothers' upholstery factory for most of the year but in the summers; escaped with his family to Watkins Glen; where he was the best outlaw drag racer in a town that primarily caters to high-end road racing. After a life spent in New York City; Susan has moved back to Watkins Glen where she takes her brother to live--temporarily; she thinks. In the throes of his illness; Mark has developed a rare but well-known symptom of dementia called Acquired Artist Syndrome; whereby people who have never even thought about painting suddenly become obsessed with the art. Once Mark gets to Watkins Glen; he becomes possessed by the idea that there is a Loch-Ness like monster living in Seneca lake and he begins painting the creature. In this conversation we go far beyond the plot to discuss the balance of re-contextualizing memory while getting older, the importance of familial love and witnessing, fantasy and imagination, and dual landscapes. Lerman also shares a bit about her childhood in NYC, meeting Leonard Cohen, and the relationship with her brother. Sarah Kearns (@annotated_sci) reads about scholarship, the sciences, and philosophy, and is likely drinking mushroom tea. Learn more about your ad choices.

Original Transplants Episode 66: Let Them Eat Bugs Original Transplants Episode 66: Let Them Eat Bugs opens with Will's preparations to install new honey bee packages in the bee yard in the next few weeks. Sarah reports that the chickens are generally healthy, although brooder hen Mayapple's indulgence in wild bird seed has caused a mild flare up of sour crop. Activity in the edible landscape is ramping up for spring planting, including pruning in the orchard, repair of the kiwiberry trellis, and planting early season crops in the vegetable nursery: arugula, spinach, buttercrunch lettuce, collards, kale, mustard, bok choy, red and green cabbage, and kohlrabi. The homesteaders finally found a good use for excess ash from the wood stove: dumping on the gravel driveway to kill weeds. Homestead fun features a visit to Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area for the snow goose migration. Rock the Cradle updates the previous discussion of microplastics in newborns with a study correlating microplastics in the gut with digestive disorders. In agricultural news, we compare two stories from Lancaster Farming: one on the purported sustainability benefits of edible insect farming, and one on regenerative farming practices.

Episode 62: Rock the Cradle Episode 62: Rock the Cradle features the return of Original Transplants Podcast hosts Sarah and Will with new(born) co-host Lucy. Sarah introduces a new podcast segment, "Rock the Cradle," which will focus on parenting and child development on the homestead, including the impact of nursing on infants' microbiomes and immunity. The podcast continues with a visit to the neglected bee yard, where Will is winterizing his sole surviving hive; and to the chicken coop, where brooder hen Mayapple is moulting and an uneasy truce prevails between the old guard chickens Mayapple and rooster Jumpy and newly introduced pullets Kiwiberry, Blueberry, Blackberry, and Nightshade. The edible landscape is winding down after successful harvests of squash, peppers, tomatillos, peaches, persimmon, and figs. Will is gearing up for hunting season and discusses the benefits of scouting, and Sarah is hoping to weed invasive stiltgrass and Canada thistle before putting the gardens to bed for winter. Will closes the podcast with new research about the nature of 'wilderness' from indigenous and industrial society perspectives.

The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 61: Gone Cuckoo The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 61, Gone Cuckoo, opens with Satoyama Homestead stewards Will and Sarah rating their growing season an 8 out of 10 so far. Will details progress in the bee yard, including a modest honey harvest and first varroa treatment. Sarah describes the drama of introducing the new flock of pullets to the rooster, Jumpy, and brooder hen, Mayapple, who are the lone survivors of Will's recent cull. The edible landscape is in full swing with summer squash, greens, beans, blackberries, currants, gooseberries, and a mayapple, with promises of winter squash, peaches, persimmons, tomatoes, peppers, kiwiberries, elderberries, maypops, and the second raspberry harvest on the horizon. Sarah advises on the use of plant tags in the garden after realizing she's been erroneously harvesting her pinto soup beans as Italian green beans all season. Homestead chores were driven by hosting the recent baby shower; the homesteaders hope to make time for food preservation prior to Baby Caverly's arrival, but will not have a fall planting this season. Will shares his birding discovery of the yellow-billed cuckoo for homestead fun. Agricultural news about no-till farming, manure technology, and the future of glyphosate and Roundup conclude the episode.

Thank you for being part of our community, sharing how gardens and nature heal and grow our lives.In this episode, I share the story of our rescue pup coming upon an American toad. Gratefully Jolee didn't pounce for the kill, the fate of cave crickets, though we're grateful for her finesse. Bringing a curiosity— do cave crickets benefit the garden?https://askmarystone.com/do-cave-crickets-benefit-the-garden/Then we chat about Mayapple, a desirable native perennial, unbeknownst to me while planting my first perennial garden two decades ago. The charming plants look like a swath of glistening umbrellas or large shiny shamrocks—maybe why this ‘big kid' adores them, imagining woodland fairies hiding below.There's a poem that shares the sentiment written by Minnie Curtis Wait in 1901. And Ken Robert's, a dear friend and volunteer singing partner for Karen Ann Quinlan Home for Hospice, turned into a magical song you'll enjoy called Mandrakes, another name for Mayapple and the poem title given by Minnie Curtis Wait. https://askmarystone.com/mayapple-of-my-eye/Thank you for sharing the garden of life,Mary Stone, Columnist & Garden DesignerGarden Dilemmas?

The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 60: Brood X The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 60 finds Satoyama Homestead stewards Will and Sarah sharing some personal brood news of their own, and reflecting on successes and failures in the apiary, chicken coop, and edible landscape. Despite a strong spring bloom season, the bees are off to a slow start and do not have strong honey reserves. Broody hen Mayapple rejects the introduced chicks, which are instead being hand-raised in a plastic tote in the garage, confirming experiences shared by listener Wyoming Jo (https://www.instagram.com/jodhopper_g/). The stewards are enjoying decent harvests of strawberries, shell and snap peas, lettuce, and leafy greens, but Sarah is disappointed in a poor showing from her rhubarb, broccoli, and weak tomato seedlings. For homestead fun, the stewards have enjoyed citing songbird fledglings, groundhog pups, and even a pregnant whitetail doe on the property. While Brood X cicadas were a bust on the homestead, Sarah reveals she is busting her waistline at 6 months pregnant with the couple's first child. We look forward to putting Baby Caverly to work on the homestead in the coming years! For homestead chores, the stewards talk turf and path maintenance, invasives management, garden bed prep, and vegetable transplants. The show closes with four agricultural news articles on the topic of "The Law of Unintended Consequences" or, as they say on the DarkHose Podcast, "Welcome to Complex Systems" about ineffective whitetail deer controls, how a pallet shortage will impact produce distribution, new technology to detoxify beehives of insecticides, and the upside of respecting complex systems on a cattle ranch.

In The Man Who Loved His Wife (Mayapple Press, 2021), Jennifer Anne Moses creates characters who grapple with the minutiae of their lives while considering family, fate, love, death, the afterlife, the divine presence, and spirituality. Peppered with Yiddishisms and salted with sisters, brothers, parents, children, grandparents, neighbors, and friends, Moses tells the stories of regular people faced with the problems of daily life but weighted with the 4000-year-old history of Judaism. She is reminiscent of writers like Isaac Bashevis Singer, Cynthia Ozick, Chaim Grade, and Philip Roth (to name a few) who captured the spirit of humanity in a specific time and place. Jennifer Anne Moses was born in 1959 and grew up in McLean, Virginia. She always wanted to be a writer, so she read a lot and later earned a degree at Tufts. Eventually she married, had three children, taught herself to paint, and moved from Washington D.C. to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Montclair, NJ. In addition to her books (Food and Whine, The Book of Joshua, Bagels and Grits, Visiting Hours, Tales from My Closet, and The Art of Dumpster Diving), she's published dozens of essays, articles, Op Ed pieces, and short stories. Her work has also been anthologized in the Pushcart Prizes and New Stories from the South: The Year's Best. Moses loves to bicycle, garden, play the piano, and dance, although she can’t do it like she used to. She also adores her two smelly mutts. I interview authors of beautifully written literary fiction and mysteries, and try to focus on independently published novels, especially by women and others whose voices deserve more attention.

Most gardeners share a common secret: they never feel like they know enough about gardening to call themselves an expert.   If you feel this way after years of gardening, you're not alone.    Over two centuries ago, Thomas Jefferson sent a letter to his friend, the painter Charles Wilson Peale. He's lamenting the limitations of his garden at Monticello. He concludes with  one of my favorite garden quotes of all time:   "But tho, an old man, I am but a young gardener."       Brevities #OTD  It's the birthday of Mary Delaney Born today in 1700.  Mary Delaney lead an extraordinary life.  The family had forced her to marry a very old man when she was 17. He was an alcoholic. To make matters worse, when he died, he forgot to include her in his will.   Despite her lack of inheritance, Mary realized that, as a widow, she had much more freedom than she had as a single young lady. In society, she could do as she pleased.   Love came knocking on her door in June 1743 when she married a doctor named Patrick Delaney - an Irish clergyman. Her family wasn't thrilled with the idea of her getting married again. But, Delaney did it anyway. She and Patrick moved to Dublin where Delaney had a home. They both shared love for gardening.   When Patrick died, Mary was widowed again; this time at the age of 68.   But Mary's life was not over.   She hit it off with Margaret Bentinck. Bentinck was the Duchess of Portland, and together they pursued botanical activities. They loved to to go out into the fields and collect specimens. It was thanks to the Duchess that Mary got to know Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander.   When Mary was in her early 70s, she took up decoupage - which was all the rage at the time -  and she created marvelous depictions of flowers. Today, historians believe Mary probably dissected plants in order to create her art. Botanists from all over Europe would send her specimens.  King George the third and Queen Charlotte were her patrons.They ordered any curious or beautiful plant to be sent to Delaney when in blossom so she could use them to create her art.   Her paper mosaics, as she called them, were made out of tissue paper. She created almost 1000 pieces of art between the ages of 71 and 88.   If you ever see any of her most spectacular decoupage pieces, you'll be blown away at the thought of them being made from tiny pieces of tissue paper by Mary Delaney in the twilight of her life in the late 1700's.         #OTD  Today in 1796 Edward Jenner injected his gardener's son with cowpox.   The boy's name was James Phipps. James was eight years old.   Jenner injected him with fluid from a cowpox blister from a milkmaid named Sarah Nelmes and she had contracted cowpox from a cow named Blossom.   In the late 1700s, people thought the folks who took care of cows and had been infected with cowpox, would then not be able to catch smallpox.   What Edward Jenner essentially did was to vaccinate James against smallpox. The word vaccinate  is from the latin word for cow.       #OTD It's the birthday of John Alexander Montgomery Cushnie, born today in 1943.   Cushnie was a landscape designer, writer and broadcaster.He was a tall, good-looking Irishman. Listeners were often surprised to see how handsome he was after just listening to his voice on the radio for so many years.   Cushnie became a household name in England once he became a regular panelist on the show gardeners question time for 15 years.   Cushnie was 66 years old when he appeared on the show for his final broadcast right before Christmas. He was enjoying his first week of retirement when it was cut short by his sudden death from a heart attack on New Year's Eve In 2009.   On the show, Cushnie cultivated a wicked sense of humor. He was not a fan of poinsettias.   He reacted to a discussion about dogs peeing in the garden by saying, "The dog is simply marking his territory... the only thing [the unrine of] a male dog will not kill is a lamppost."   When asked about lawn damage by playing children, John said let the children play, they aren't young for long.   Many times, his ultimate response to a problem posed by a gardener would simply be - "just dig it up".           Unearthed Words It's the birthday of Harold Glenn Borland Born today In 1900. Borland was known as the chronicler of the seasons.      He went by Hal, and he was a naturalist as well as the writer.   Borland wrote an editorial column in the New York Times for 35 years. His last column appeared the day before he died in 1978.He never signedHis work, but everyone knewIt was written by Borland.   Like John Burroughs, Borland had a sympathy for and simple communion with the natural world.  His writings reflected his essence. Here's a sample of springtime according to Borland:   “The violets will come, in their own time. That is all that was written in the sky by Friday's equinox. The sun's summons will not be answered overnight, but the answer is inevitable. The first hungry bee at the first crocus hums of June, and the first green leaf forecast cool summer shade. All is in order. Spring is the earth's commitment to the year.”   And here are some of Borland's most famous sayings:   “No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.”    "April is a promise that May is bound to keep"   "If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees."   “Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.”    "You fight dandelions all weekend, and late Monday afternoon there they are, pert as all get out, in full and gorgeous bloom, pretty as can be, thriving as only dandelions can in the face of adversity."       Today's book recommendation: Mrs. Delany: Her Life and Her Flowers by Ruth Hayden In 1980, a descendant of Mary Delany's sister Anne, Ruth Hayden, published a book on Delany's work: Mrs. Delany and Her Flower Collages, which was reissued in 2000 as Mrs. Delany: Her Life and Her Flowers (British Museum Press).     Today's Garden Chore - Yesterday, we talked about herbs that grow in shade, but shade can also be used to slow down growth of some herbs and plants that grow quickly - the ones that can get away from you. Think about basil or swiss chard.  I always plant these in my southern kitchen garden - but I plant a few backup containers on the east and west sides of my house.  It will grow slower there; that means I can be more leisurely about harvesting there.           Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart When I was researching Borland, I came across this little passage he wrote about Podophyllum peltatum the Mayapple.  “In a painful time of my life I went often to a wooded hillside where May apples grew by the hundreds, and I thought the sourness of their fruit had a symbolism for me. Instead, I was to find both love and happiness soon thereafter. So to me, [the May apple] is the mandrake, the love symbol, of the old dealers in plant restoratives.” Mayapple is in the barberry family.  These plants contain a toxin used to treat the plantar wart. The May applealso goes by other common names like American mandrake, wild mandrake, and ground lemon.  Today, this native perennial is grown as ornamental plants for their attractive foliage and flowers which bloom in May.  It bears an egg-shaped fruit whose common name is “May apple”, "love apples" or “American mandrake.”  Folklore says the mandrake root is an aphrodisiac.   According to Emma Darwin’s diary, Charles Darwin started taking ‘pod.’, an extract or resin from the root of Podophyllum peltatum or Mayapple, on 24 March 1864 - probably using it for his stomach troubles since it was a purgative. But take heed—mandrake is poisonous.       Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Summer has arrived and the homestead is filled with miracles and madness. Sarah and Will respond to a listener letter about scything and sheet composing/lasagna gardening, explaining the ins and outs of their turf management. They next discuss the apiary and their friend Walt who does moonlight beekeeping. A miracle queen was born. A simpler method of beekeeping, the keeping of mason/orchard/leafcutter bees is discussed as well. Next, Will tells a long-winded story about how tough he had it with Sarah away. Chicken madness, snakes living in the house, and sleeping outside to protect their miracle momma Mayapple and her chicks all figure heavily into the drama. Next, Sarah and Will discuss the upper respiratory disease the chickens experienced and how they managed to get the flock through the worst of it. The edible landscape really has started to pay dividends, with berries galore, as well as peas, greens, and other goods for consumption and preservation. On the homestead, Will breaks his bow, they discuss building new steps in the yard, and the happiness of sharing food with others. Finally, Sarah gives an update on the menacing Spotted Lanternfly, an invasive species now showing up en masse on the homestead.

Sarah and Will respond to a listener letter in Episode 37, giving their thoughts and some useful information on wood stoves. They cover the pros and cons of wood stoves in the home, ending up on the pro side, but being realistic about the maintenance and care necessary to have a stove. Other subjects about wood stoves covered: creosote and cleaning, cooking on the stove, and Philadelphia's own Benjamin Franklin, who invented the precursor to the wood stove. They resume the normal podcast proceedings by talking a little about the bees and Ross Round frames. Mayapple is back in the brooder coop and the rooster isn't pleased. The edible landscape has popped off and they are enjoying sorrel and other lettuces from the garden. They discuss asparagus shoots, rubarb harvests, and the new additions to the homestead: two fig trees to replace the devilish pyracantha/firethorn tree that they just cut down (see Episode 36). Sarah and Will finish the podcast with a discussion of an article on plant communication and the ethics of how humans interact with plants.

Original Transplants podcast episode 33, Winter Solstice edition, finds homestead stewards Will and Sarah in good spirits on the first day of Winter. Will plans a final winter oxalic acid dribble treatment for varroa mites in the beehives, and starts planning supply and bee package purchases for the spring. Everyone is relieved that Mayapple the broody hen is showing progress on integrating into the flock she raised in May, thanks in large part to supportive behaviors by Jumpy the Rooster. Sarah and Will discuss homestead hacks for keeping off-the-grid chicken coops warm in the winter. Sarah is enjoying propagating plants on her 'tower of power' light rack on wheels, and also in mini-greenhouses from recycled gallon jugs out on the fallow garden plot. The homestead kitchen is serving up cocoa venison chili, peppermint meringues, custards and cookies for the season. We conclude the podcast with a nod to the oldest known hunter in the USA, and Sarah's solstice-inspired parody of A Visit from Saint Nick ('Twas the Night Before Christmas), called A Visit from Jack Frost.

In this special holiday gift guide edition of Original Podcasts Episode 32, Satoyama Homestead stewards Sarah and Will share updates from winterizing the bee yard, attempts to reintegrate the chickens, and celebrate the winter bounty of the edible landscape. Will explains insulating the beehives with tar paper to regulate temperature and humidity during the winter. Sarah describes the flock dynamic since Mayapple has achieved empty nester status (correction: her literary reference should be to the Pyramus and Thisbe myth, not Tristan and Isolde!). We then share recipes for stewing hens and venison, highlight scientifically-proven home remedies for the flu recommended by Consumer Reports, and recommend cross-over gifts for the homesteader or aspiring homesteader on your holiday gift-giving list. We end the show with a fun new feature - dramatic, stylized readings of heirloom plant descriptions from 2018 seed catalogs.

Episode 30 of the Original Transplants Podcast features Satoyama Homestead stewards Sarah and Will discussing late autumn happenings on the homestead. Will gives tips for winter preparation in the bee yard, including combining colonies for overwintering population, treating, feeding, and hive wrapping. Sarah recounts her experience harvesting their three original laying hens and reflects on the timing of Mayapple's broody and chick rearing cycle, pullets coming into lay, and the slaughter of the older chickens. Sarah and Will explain how they are preserving a surplus of green tomatoes for winter sustenance, recall a visit from Ursinus College's Environmental Studies senior capstone class, and join the fight against the invasive and damaging spotted lanternfly.

Under the snow in Honey Hollow, Veil and Darvin work diligently to fulfill their duties. Cortland and Mayapple are unaware of the forces working against them, but their fates are not yet sealed. On a lighter note, Arannis is all set to perform at Sweet William's and has even made friends with a local musician. Good for him.

Episode 28 of the Original Transplants Podcast features Satoyama Homestead stewards Will and Sarah discussing the early season bounty. In the apiary, a weak honey season has been a strong brood season with success in honey bee swarm trapping and hive splitting. The chicks are within weeks of fledging the nest, and Mayapple the momma hen sounds like she's preparing to resume egg laying. The homestead garden shifts from radishes, spinach, lettuce, peas, and broccoli to cabbage, beets, collards, kale, kohlrabi, tomatoes, and peppers, and the succession of berries and cherries are ripening. We discuss growing season pruning and sheet composting and then report on agricultural news from Lancaster Farming, including the triumphant return of "heirloom hybrid" Florida's Favorite watermelon after a 100-year hiatus and Tyson Foods' efforts for more humane and sustainable poultriculture.
