I’m rediscovering the joys of a simple life. On that journey I’ve discovered the benefits of a species appropriate diet, sunshine, fresh air and movement.

Everyone worships the ribeye and walks straight past the brisket, and I've decided this is one of the great injustices of the meat counter.

Look at what you're ignoring. Brisket is the cut that did the work, the muscle off the front that held the whole animal up, which means it's stacked with connective tissue and collagen, the stuff people now buy in a tub as a fancy powder. You don't need the tub. It's in the brisket. Cook it low and slow and that collagen melts into gelatine, the very thing that props up your own joints, skin and gut lining. Add the glycine in there, which most modern diets are starved of, and the iron, the zinc, the B12, and you're looking at a genuine nutritional heavyweight, not just a treat.

And the fat cap. Glorious. A thick seam that renders down over hours into something silky. The bit the timid trim off and bin is the bit that makes brisket sing.

Then the part that should annoy you. It costs a fraction of the ribeye. More flavour, more collagen, more actual nourishment, off one of the cheapest cuts in the shop, while everyone queues to pay triple for the prestige steak. And it feeds you for days. One brisket is Sunday dinner, Monday's cold cuts, and a pot of the richest bone broth you've ever made.

It asks one thing of you. Patience. Salt it, put it in the slow cooker in the morning, go and live your life, come back eight hours later to something that fell out of the realm of gods. The machine does the work. You take the credit.

So stop genuflecting at the ribeye. The best value, highest collagen, most forgiving elite cut in the building is sitting right there being overlooked for not being glamorous.

Go and get brisket. Thank me in eight hours.

Planet Earth is 'still' in the Late Cenozoic Ice Age — an unbroken ice-age ecosystem that began roughly 34 million years ago with the glaciation of Antarctica.

Technically speaking, we are living through one of the colder periods in Earth’s geological history. How does that fit into 'global warming'?

For roughly 70–80% of the last half-billion years (the Phanerozoic Eon), Earth has existed in a 'hothouse' state, largely devoid of polar ice sheets but crammed with life. Almost 80% of the Earth was tropical rainforest pole to pole. Temperatures sat between 18°C and 25°C — all well above today's very modest 14°C to 15°C.

Human civilisation developed within the embrace of the Holocene warm interglacial - during an ice age. The primary drivers steering Earth between a deep freeze and warm interglacial over 2.58 million years were not atmospheric — they stemmed from orbital mechanics, specifically Milankovitch cycles (eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession).

While CO₂ forms a feedback loop in paleoclimate records, data shows it is orbital variations that pull the trigger on major ice-age transitions.

The modern climate debate often treats today's baseline of 15°C as an absolute planetary limit, set in stone. Yet it is a momentary snapshot of one fraction of Earth's deep history. Modern human infrastructure and agriculture are clearly optimised for the current climate conditions. But today is just a microsecond in geological or planetary terms.

Treating this fleeting era as the Earth's natural state wipes millions of years of geological reality off the table.

@SamaHoole @LDLSkeptic I’m pretty certain all lamb is grass fed, certainly in Australia, so just another benefit to eat lamb and goat for that matter 👍

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

They call it land salmon, and it isn't a joke.

Grass-fed lamb carries the best omega ratio of any animal that walks on land. Here is what's folded into the chop.

- Nearly twice the omega-3 of beef (carried in the fat, not chased down in a capsule)
- The finest omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of any land animal (the reason it earned a fish's name)
- More CLA than beef, pork or chicken (the fat they told you to fear)
- Three times the tryptophan of beef (your body turns it into serotonin)
- All nine essential amino acids (complete protein, no combining required)
- B12, heme iron, zinc and selenium (the B12 no plant offers)
- Creatine, carnosine and taurine (the stuff gym lads buy by the tub)

And it grazed a hillside to get all of it. British lamb is raised off grass too steep, too wet and too high to grow a crop on. There is no corn on a Welsh mountain, so nobody finishes it in a shed. The animal turns rain and rough grass into land salmon and asks for nothing.

The fish oil in the capsule went rancid on the shelf. The omega-3 in the lamb is still in the lamb.

Give the beef a rest this week. Eat the land salmon.

A doctor has gone on the record this week to warn that the best striker on the planet is quietly wrecking his arteries. Eight hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars went unmentioned.

Erling Haaland eats about six thousand calories a day. Beef, eggs, fish, butter, raw milk, and the liver and heart of a cow. The results of this reckless experiment: fastest man in Premier League history to fifty, seventy five and a hundred goals, Norway's all time leading scorer, one of three players in seventy two years to score in each of his first three World Cup matches.

Somebody clearly needed to step in before it got worse.

Enter Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, concerned about impurities in the fuel and the state of arteries you cannot see underneath all that muscle definition.

Meredith Wadman went through the accounts in Nature in 2006. The Foundation to Support Animal Protection, better known as the PETA Foundation, gave Barnard's group five hundred and ninety two thousand dollars across 1999 and 2000. PETA itself chipped in another two hundred and sixty five thousand. Barnard sat on that foundation's board and ran it as president until at least 2005, listed as an officer alongside PETA's Ingrid Newkirk.

The American Medical Association, hardly a fan club for steak, called the Physicians Committee a fringe organisation of questionable repute and an animal rights group speaking for under half of one percent of American physicians. Roughly a tenth of the membership practises medicine.

Forty years of independent scientific inquiry by an organisation founded on the principle that humans should not use animals for anything, funded by the people who once campaigned to rename fish sea kittens, and every single time, on every disease, the evidence has led them reluctantly to the conclusion that you should stop eating animals.

You have to admire a hypothesis with that hit rate.

Note the actual charge. No scan. No blood panel. No marker of any kind. The evidence submitted is the imagined condition of arteries nobody has looked at, inside a twenty six year old at the outer edge of human physical performance.

You cannot see the arteries. That is why it was arteries.

What kind of “progressive” society tells athletes they can’t use basic manners and thank the woman who just handed them prize money… because it might “offend” someone?

Gina Rinehart has more patriotism in her pinky than every corporate Commonwealth Games sponsor combined.

If those sponsors had actually put real cash prizes on the table instead of empty virtue signals, she wouldn’t have had to step in and do their job for them.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Here is a bit of agricultural knowledge that quietly ends the whole plant-based planet idea.

Plant barley in Snowdonia. Soil the depth of a paperback laid over slate, on a thirty degree slope, under four metres of rain a year. The seed washes off before it roots. Put a Welsh Mountain sheep up there and she comes back down as lamb and fleece.

Plant wheat in the Cairngorms. Blanket peat, waterlogged, acid enough to pickle a tractor, frost still in the ground in June. Put a Highland cow on it and she stands out in the horizontal sleet with ten inches of hair over her eyes.

Plant anything on the Tibetan Plateau. Four and a half thousand metres, air too thin to work in, a growing season measured in weeks. Put a yak on it and you get milk, butter, meat, hair for the tent and fuel for the fire.

Plant potatoes in Finnmark. Frozen most of the year, and the top of it is lichen. Put a reindeer on it and she digs through the snow with her hoof.

Plant maize in the Sahel. Two hundred millimetres of rain in a good year, sand, thorn, forty degrees. Put a zebu on it and the herd walks three hundred miles to keep eating.

Plant vegetables in the Great Karoo. Dwarf grey shrub to the horizon, no river, ground cracked into plates. Put a Boer goat on it and she browses the bitter little bushes and fattens.

Plant a crop on the Brahmaputra floodplain. It is under four months of water. Put a water buffalo on it and she stands chest deep in the flood eating reeds, entirely content.

Plant wheat on the shortgrass prairie. They tried, and the topsoil went to Chicago in a black cloud in 1935. Put a bison on it and the roots go fifteen feet down and hold.

Around two thirds of the world's farmland is that sort of ground. Too steep, too cold, too dry, too wet, too thin, too high, too short of a season.

But do go on about how we could feed everyone on lentils if only the farmers would try a bit harder.

Take the animal off that land and it does not produce a vegetable. It produces nothing, quietly, forever.

The LARGEST human ivermectin cancer study EVER done found 84.4% of patients declared their cancer had COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED, SHRUNK, or STOPPED PROGRESSING after 6 months.

Our study is now PEER-REVIEWED and PUBLISHED by the International Institute of Anticancer Research.

Wind and solar may succeed at a smaller, localised scale. But scaling them to power an entire modern civilisation is a fundamentally different challenge.

It was never going to work. They don't provide crucial baseload power, and traditional industrial grids were not built to accommodate their erratic delivery.

Decades of government incentives, feed-in tariffs and tax credits have heavily subsidised their rollout across wealthy Western nations. But it's an exercise resembling hopeless love. These desperate initiatives have ignored the fundamental mismatch between intermittent generation and existing grid architecture.

A complete rebuild of the global grid carries an estimated price tag of $21 trillion — a task made harder by decades of underinvestment in basic transmission infrastructure and heavy-duty storage.

Traditional power grids rely on synchronous generation — massive spinning turbines in coal, gas, nuclear or hydro plants. This physical rotating mass provides natural mechanical inertia, keeping grid frequency locked at a stable 50 or 60 Hz.

In sharp contrast, wind and solar just can't plug in. They rely on inverter-based technology, which gives zero inherent inertia. While engineers try to patch this stability gap with complex synthetic controls and giant spinning flywheels, it adds layer upon layer of extra cost and friction.

Meanwhile, the colossal scale of battery storage required to bridge multi-day lulls in wind and sunlight — the dreaded Dunkelflaute — runs into an immediate brick wall. It creates yawning bottlenecks in copper, lithium and cobalt mining, compounded by soaring production costs.

Crucially, the system can't even build itself. It just hasn't got the muscle. Mining the quartz, smelting the silicon, forging the structural steel and transporting massive turbine blades - all demands high-density, uninterrupted process heat and power. In an ironic twist, this energy is supplied almost exclusively by coal, oil and gas.

The gridlock this creates is almost farcical. Because wind and solar remain weather-dependent, grids must keep fast-ramping gas peakers or idling coal plants on standby. They are burning fuel in the background to step in the instant the wind drops or clouds roll over.

Great business plan.

@PaulineHansonOz Of course 💯 we need our own refining capabilities! It’s the only thing that makes sense! Go One Nation, please reintroduce sensible strategies on behalf of the Australian people.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Someone explain this to me slowly, because I'm clearly the idiot here.

We plant a Mediterranean nut in a Californian desert. It doesn't rain there, so we drain a ten-thousand-year-old aquifer until the ground itself sinks a foot a year and whole towns get shorter. The trees can't fight off fungus, so we spray the lot. They can't pollinate themselves, so every February we truck thirty billion bees across a continent and let a fair share of them die in the crush. Then we chill the harvest and sail it six thousand miles to Britain, where it rains constantly and always has, to be blitzed with water and gums and sold to you at £2.40 a carton with a green leaf on the side.

That is the environmentally friendly option.

Twelve miles down the road there's a bloke with cattle in a field. Rain falls on the hill. Grass drinks it. Cow eats grass. Nothing pumped, sprayed, chilled or shipped. No bees died. Her entire supply chain is weather.

That is the planetary emergency.

And it'll be explained to you by someone holding a carton of desert water, wearing a fleece made of crude oil.

Asking for the cow. She's been very patient about it.

Since Labor came to government in 2022, they've assisted 17 ISIS brides and 13 of their children to come back to Australia.

Today we learn that one of the nation’s most infamous Islamic State fighters, the Perth-born pediatrician dubbed “Dr Jihad” widely presumed to have been killed in Syria nearly a ­decade ago, is alive, imprisoned in an Iraqi jail and one of 13 ­Australian men linked to the terror group hoping to be released and returned home.

We do not want them back!

At what point will Anthony Albanese and Tony Burke put the safety of Australians first over importing more radical islam back into Australia?

Stop the rorts

The Labor Party is out of control when it comes to wasting money to entrench power for itself.

Spending millions to pay their mates to push their agendas is just corruption plain and simple.

It’s hard to imagine a worse minister in Australia’s history than Chris Bowen. Let’s not forget he was immigration minister when over 1000 people died at sea under the Rudd Govt.

•••••••••••••••••••

“Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen and his department have requested up to $4.2 million in taxpayer money to book luxury accommodation in Fiji for foreign bureaucrats.

Mr Bowen will be presiding over the event as the Conference of the Parties co-president.”

And

“Australian news outlets can apply for a share in $67 million under the Journalism Assistance Fund.

News outlets across Australia are encouraged to apply for funding to help support journalism and news production.

The new funding is part of the government’s $67 million Journalism Assistance Fund (JAF). All Australian news publishers that publish news online are encouraged to apply for funding of up to $39,000 for each eligible full-time-equivalent journalist they employ over the 3 financial years to June 2028.”

@at9468 @MRobertsQLD When you create an environment that encourages innovation humans find a way to be successful. We can be great again, probably with a different look and feel than before, but in a way that suits our modern circumstances. Australians are innovative, “can do” people if enabled!

Manufacturing used to be the heart and soul of our economy.

Australia was rich because we made things.

We had global influence because we made things.

Life was good because we made things.

We led the world in manufacturing motor vehicles, steel, white goods, aircraft, textiles, chemicals and machinery.

These jobs provided good wages, making the Australian dream of owning a house on a single wage affordable.

A One Nation will government will restore manufacturing in our country, ensuring prosperity for generations to come.

And we will do this by tackling the core problem - the cost of energy.

The UK government is consulting on changes to marriage law which would give Islamic weddings legal status, come as a result of a 2022 Law Commission report that described current marriage laws, which date back almost 200 years and are common sense.

Now looking to legalize these backward, inbred, sickening ideological ways.

[Jego Kociość Kot Psot @CudownyKotPsot]

@TRobinsonNewEra Tommy is right: one law must guard each woman and each child,
No faith or ancient custom makes coercion fair or mild.
No loopholes, no exceptions, let equal justice stand,
Protect the young, defend their rights, one law across the land.

Miau. 🐱
