Bad news: We lost the lanternfly war… back in 2014.
Good news: Turns out, they’re mostly just killing fellow invaders like the Tree of Heaven. Pus native birds and bugs are feasting on them.
I did ALL THE MATH for @milkepescs.bsky.social 's blog.

Lanternfly PSA: They are being eaten by native birds, wasps & fungi. They only kill invasive Trees of Heaven and wine grapes. When USDA infested native trees & plants with them for four years, only the ToH died. Meanwhile, the adult lanternflies starved without ToH. youtu.be/D2Glh3Tfl6Y?...

Overheard at the American History Museum cafeteria yesterday:
“Regardless of who shows up, it will be 50 million people. It will be the largest gathering in the history of the whole country.”

Think you can reshape your jaw with your tongue? TikTok does. It’s called mewing—and no, it’s not a cat thing. I investigated this viral trend (and the pseudoscience behind it) for The Gist with Mike Pesca @milkepescs.bsky.social

Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!

Have you ever heard the advice to shout 'fire' instead of 'help' if you're being assaulted? I tracked this old canard to pre WWI France, where it might have actually been good advice! mikepesca.substack.com/p/is-that-bs...
