Easy to blame this on silly millennial and Gen z men, or parasitic gambling apps, or aggressive marketing campaigns from content creators, but the reality is that a generation of people who can't seem to buy a house will look for asymmetric returns anywhere.
"A furnace that burns hot enough will burn anything". The evidence is pretty good that high quality, frequent exercise can essentially "cancel" out bad diet and even the effects of alcohol.
Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm show on Amazon is the most radicalizing piece of mainstream media I’ve ever seen
Just one example (bear with me):
Badgers became a protected species in Britain 40+ years ago.
The population has exploded and now frequently transmits tuberculosis to cows
But farmers can’t cull the badger population to protect their cattle because the government still considers them to be endangered
Instead of addressing the root cause, the UK has the most batshit testing regime for cattle
There’s no TB vaccine. So the cattle have to get tested. The vets administering the test have to measure welts on the cows neck. Whether a cow lives or dies comes down to a vet trying to discern 1mm on a caliper (reactive vs non reactive).
If a cow tests positive, the farm (already running on super thin margins) is quarantined and starts hemorrhaging money.
Jeremy Clarkson’s cow (pregnant with twins) has an inconclusive test so it’s separated from the herd. It receives a second inconclusive test so they have to kill it (before it can give birth to the twins).
Now here’s the kicker: the autopsy reveals no sign of TB. It was a healthy cow needlessly killed
So - silver lining the farm should be removed from quarantine, right? WRONG - it’s still under quarantine and has to keep testing and can’t sell its beef
Kafkaesque doesn’t even begin to describe how f’d up it is for British farmers

Seattle might secretly have one of the best pizza scenes in America right now.
Here are Seattle’s Top 7 pizza spots right now👇
A.K. Pizza (South Seattle) Only 60 pizzas a day. Preorders sell out in seconds. Nearly 7,000 people signed up just for text alerts. Seattle might have its first true cult pizza place.
Sinners Pizza (U District) People are arguing this is the best NY slice in Seattle right now. Open late, packed almost every night, and the Hellfire pie is becoming a city challenge 🌶️
Pizza by Ruffin (SLU) Washington’s first Black-owned pizzeria serving Roman-style pizza inspired by the Black diaspora. One of the most unique pizza spots in the city.
Cornelly (Capitol Hill + Queen Anne) The Hornet Honey pizza changed lives. Long lines turned into a second location. Somehow still underrated.
Stevie’s Famous (Burien + Beacon Hill) Foldable NY slices done right. South Seattle has been gatekeeping this one for years
Post Alley Pizza (Downtown) Hidden behind Pike Place inside a parking garage since 1997. No marketing. No hype. Just elite slices.
Rocco’s (Belltown) Huge slices, loaded pies, and one of the most talked-about pizza spots in Seattle. Not cheap, but people swear it’s worth it.
Alright Seattle… what spot got robbed? 🍕 #seattle
Wemby is out of control, I don't know what I'm watching. In overtime alone he's hit a Steph-esque pull up 30 footer, a Giannis one dribble drive dunk, an alien alley oop reverse dunk, and just swallowed the game winning block. It's borderline inappropriate .
Good evening. I know the game is over. I’d like to further discuss the pull up logo three in transition in to tie the game and silence the crowd on the road from the 7’4 guy in first OT.
What the actual F*ck?
