Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 08/04/2025I'm hiring a Storytelling Associate at @southparkcommons.bsky.social! The SPC community is fully storytelling-pilled. It's the foundational skill of -1 to 0. But we have too many stories to tell. That's where you come in. ⬇️ 131
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 29/03/2025To understand millennial men you must understand how formative just hanging around for hours playing Goldeneye and Halo was for shaping our idea of good quality time together 010

Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 19/02/2025My most closely held moral conviction is this: it is always wrong to take pleasure in the suffering of others. That is the surest path to hell. 100
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 01/02/2025The biggest writing miss in TV history was when Game of Thrones had Arya just run up to the Night King and stab him— Instead of having her steal the face of the top lieutenant the show had prominently featured since the very beginning so she could get close enough to stab him 210
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024If you’ve never made pilgrimage to the superlative trees of California, you should. It’s a great excuse to visit some of the most beautiful places in the world and commune* with titans. *hug a really big tree 000
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024The oldest of all is Methuselah. 4855 years old. Older than the pyramids and most of human civilization. Its exact location is kept secret, but there’s a managed path that winds through its grove in the White Mountains. Methuselah is one of the trees that line the walk. 100
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Finally, my favorite tree of all. The oldest on Earth. The Aged One. The Bristlecone Pine These gnarled patriarchs look their age, their twisted bark a witness to eons, growing defiantly on the sides of mountains where few other trees can survive. 100
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024The NPS doesn’t permit visits to Hyperion, which is very remote in Redwood National Park. And it’s hard to appreciate how tall it is through the canopy. But you can see really impressively tall coastal redwoods just outside of SF in Muir Woods National Monument. 100
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024But while the Giant Sequoia is the biggest, its cousin the Coastal Redwood is the tallest. And none are taller than Hyperion. 380 feet tall (that’s 116 meters for the rest of the world). 100
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024The biggest of all is General Sherman, in Sequoia National Park. 36.5 feet wide, 275 feet tall, 52500 cubic feet in volume. You can visit and you’ll know right where it is because, uh, it’s hard to miss. 110
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Have to start with the grand emperor of the forest. The president of treedom. The Giant Sequoia. If you’ve never visited one of the sequoia groves in the Sierra Nevadas, you’re missing out. They’re enormous. Overwhelming in person. 110
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024California has the best trees: ✅The biggest tree ✅The tallest tree ✅The oldest tree All in one state. Buckle up. This is a tree thread. 🧵 110

Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Here's what the @southparkcommons.bsky.social team is most interesting in seeing more of right now. If you're asking similar questions, reach out! 010
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 13/11/2024When I interviewed the former Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, he had this to say about Trump's new Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz 032
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 27/10/2024The most important civilizational fact is that we are living through an exponential, and the most important question is whether we're at the beginning or the end of the curve 000
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 11/10/2024Either Trump is historically incompetent at hiring for the most important positions in government, or the unprecedented number of people he hired who now say he’s dangerous or unfit for office are telling the truth. Those are the only two options. 010
Jonathan Brebner @jpbrebner.bsky.social · 24/09/2024Hello Bluesky, I think I'll start off here by mostly posting about fun public lands in the US. 040
