One of the most difficult shots I ever took. Favaritx lighthouse right before totality in Menorca, with my friends at photopills. Shooting from a boat in choppy water. Never again 😂

The crime they see: 15,415 litres of water to produce one kilogram of beef. Every campaign, every documentary, every leaflet through the door since about 2012.
The crime they do: not reading the paper.
The figure is real. It comes from Mekonnen and Hoekstra at the University of Twente, and it is careful, peer-reviewed work. What the campaigns strip out is that the same authors split that number into three parts, because the three parts are not the same thing at all.
Green water is rain. It falls on the grass. The cow eats the grass. For beef, green water is about 94 per cent of that headline.
Blue water is the stuff that matters. Rivers, lakes, aquifers. The stuff that gets pumped, metered, fought over in court, and does not come back.
So here is the blue water, in litres per kilogram, from the same authors, same method, same units.
- Pistachios: 7,602
- Almonds: 3,816
- Walnuts: 2,451
- Dates: 1,250
- Cashews: 921
- Beef: 550
Read that last line again, then go and look at what is in your granola.
The 15,415 counts rain that fell on a Welsh hillside as a cost, against an animal that was standing in it, on land where nothing else grows, in a country where rain is the one thing we have never once been short of.
The pistachio is drinking fourteen times more of the water that actually runs out.
She is outside in the rain right now, getting blamed for it.
Again… don’t be a dumbass and do stupid shit like this fool just for clicks and attention.
Josh West intentionally grabbed and pulled on the steering wheel of a Tesla Robotaxi during a ride to see what would happen. He did it multiple times from the backseat. The Robotaxi responded by braking, giving safety alerts, and contacting support.
He also unbuckled his seatbelt while the vehicle was moving and, after the ride, put one of his own stickers on the Robotaxi.
The Tesla team reviewed the trip, cited safety violations and property damage, and suspended his Robotaxi access.
Then he turned around and made a video titled “I Got BANNED From The Tesla Robotaxi Network… So You Don’t Have To!”
No… You didn’t do this “so we don’t have to.”
Nobody needed you to grab the steering wheel of an unsupervised Robotaxi.
Nobody needed you to intentionally trigger its safety systems.
Nobody needed you to put your sticker on a vehicle that doesn’t belong to you.
You did it for content.
And this is exactly the kind of stupid shit that pisses me, many investors, and many hardworking employees on the Tesla team off.
The @Tesla team has spent YEARS working their asses off to make unsupervised Robotaxis a reality. Engineers have dedicated countless hours to building, testing, and improving this technology while Tesla fights through regulatory scrutiny and proves the system can safely scale.
Then a fool gets access and intentionally fucks with the vehicle for a YouTube video.
Think about how selfish that is.
Millions of people are waiting for this technology to expand. Tesla employees have spent years of their lives working to get it this far. The last thing the program needs is some attention seeker intentionally creating safety incidents for clicks.
If you’re lucky enough to get access to a Tesla Robotaxi, respect the fucking technology, respect the vehicle, and respect the people who spent years building it.
Sit down and buckle up. Keep your hands off the steering wheel. Don’t put or do shit on a car that isn’t yours.
And enjoy the fucking ride.
It really shouldn’t be that difficult.
The Tesla team has worked too damn hard to get to this point for fools chasing YouTube views to jeopardize it for everyone else.
Don’t be like this fool.
Marc Andreessen just named the lie that held for a hundred years and is collapsing in real time.
We gave authority to the people who explained things. Not the people who built them.
And nobody questioned why.
For a century, builders created and journalists translated. The public accepted it because complexity demanded a middleman.
But the middleman was never the expert. The middleman was the channel.
And we mistook the channel for the source.
Andreessen: “You set it loose and it will write you literally a 30-page answer. This is basically like a textbook on any topic.”
Any topic. Infinite depth. Zero cost. No gatekeeper.
He has a name for what comes next. Practitioner media.
Andrej Karpathy doesn’t sit across from a journalist. He turns on a camera and teaches the world how the architecture works. No filter. No editorial framing. No one deciding what you’re ready to hear.
The press calls it dangerous.
They are not protecting the public. They are protecting the bottleneck that gave them power.
The critic always needed the creator. The creator never needed the critic.
They just had no other way to reach the world.
Now they do.
