Britain is more than 100% self-sufficient in lamb. We grow more than we eat and export the surplus.

Sit with that, because it is rare. Roughly 85% self-sufficient in beef. Effectively 100% in milk. Around 90% in eggs. The animal food on a British plate was almost certainly born and raised here, a great deal of it on upland pasture that can grow nothing else: no wheat, no veg, just grass and the animals that turn it into food. Field to plate, the journey runs to tens of miles.

Now look at the half of the trolley you were told was the virtuous one. January strawberries from Egypt. Peppers from Spain and Morocco. Winter leaves from Israel. Green beans from Kenya. Blueberries from Peru. The beans and the berries come by air, which is roughly fifty times more carbon-heavy per kilo than the same load sent by sea, to sit in a plastic shell beside a little flag and the word "fresh."

Britain feeds itself in meat, milk and eggs off its own ground. It is the salad and the soft fruit that have to be flown in from the far side of the world.

Worth remembering which half of that plate you were taught to apologise for.

Europe's youngest self-made billionaire never set foot in Silicon Valley ~ started with €5,000 at 19 from Estonia. 🤯

Meet Markus Villig 🇪🇪

> Estonia. Population 1.3 million. Smaller than most cities Uber was fighting for.
> His brother Martin worked at Skype ~ proof that tech could come from anywhere.
> 2013 ~ fresh out of high school. Couldn't get a taxi on a Friday night in Tallinn.
> Borrowed €5,000 from his parents. That's the whole budget.
> Walked the streets signing up drivers one by one. No PR. Just conversations.
> Uber was in London, New York, Paris. Big cities. Big money. Big fights.
> So he took Eastern Europe. Then Africa. Cities nobody was building in.
> One city at a time. Quietly.
> Drops out of university after one semester ~ app growing faster than he can manage.
> Taxify becomes Bolt. Rides, food, scooters, groceries.
> 100M+ customers. 45+ countries. $8.4B valuation. 🚀
> Europe's youngest self-made billionaire at 27.

He still lives in Tallinn.
He still doesn't own a car.

Built an $8.4B transport empire by going where the giants weren't looking.

Absolute Legend. 🐐

@djcows Good work cow

best bits got remixed into a louder, richer, more dysfunctional superpower.

They speak your language badly, quote your philosophers, and binge your TV… while running the empire and wondering why your politics are even more of a clown show than theirs

Almond milk production killed 4 billion bees last year.
It uses 100s of billions of gallons of water.

Meanwhile, cows enjoy being milked.

Veganism is a CON.

Every single day, me, you and everyone else has a limited "neuroplasticity budget".

A finite daily reserve of metabolic energy, neuromodulators (epinephrine, acetylcholine, dopamine, BDNF), and cellular resources available for meaningful rewiring.

Once that budget is spent, it’s gone until the next day after rest and recovery.

Passive consumption of online content (aka doomscrolling) actively burns through that budget while delivering almost zero constructive plasticity. Y

You are quite literally spending your brain’s daily capacity for growth on junk data.

The artificial divide we have drawn between mental and physical health is the largest mistake in medicine.

Maintaining this divide creates stigma and worse care for all.

[Levi McGlashan @levioffmarket]

Quite good

I don't remember where I found this, but its spot on.

Switzerland has a massive amount of small business owners who all go off on their own. Any city or town you are absolutely surrounded by people who have their business name on their car. Trades, software, services.

I was born to walk trails for days, swim in cold mountain lakes, and take naps in the sun 🇨🇭

@SamaHoole Brilliant - I can say having tried both methods this guy knows ball

Mentally healthy people are often delusionally optimistic.
