Oh boy.

I'm a professional writer. A good one, I can write non-fiction AND novels better than you, or almost anyone.

I can easily suss ChatGPT's junk.

This is different. This is the first time I've seen what the coders mean when they say AI scares them. This... feels alive.

California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.

One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.

But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.

Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.

The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.

The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms.

Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk.

Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.

One of the most well-known esports photographers @Yicun_liu shares a heartfelt story about photographing Boaster behind the scenes:

“From a photojournalism perspective, every moment, whether a win or a loss, has a reason to be documented. Documenting the lows makes the climb back to the top even more meaningful.

But often, when photographing the players who’ve just lost, standing in front of them with a camera feels ‘cruel’. After all, the biggest stages often bring the greatest pain. Though the rational part of me says: Don’t hesitate. Press the shutter. This is your job.

Yesterday, Boaster broke down in tears in front of me, and pressing the shutter at that moment was really difficult.

At Masters Shanghai 2024, after FNATIC’s loss, Boaster cried backstage, his back facing me, full of sadness. I couldn’t bring myself to go near him.

Later that same year in Berlin, Boaster and Yinsu heard I was doing Worlds and invited me to dinner. During the meal, Boaster asked,

‘Did you take any photos of me crying?’

I said, ‘Sorry, you were too heartbroken that time. I couldn’t bring myself to take the shot.’

He replied, ‘It’s okay. Next time if I cry, just take the photo. I think moments like that make for beautiful memories in my career. Photos like that can be beautiful too.’

Thank you, Jake, for giving me the courage.

Paris, 2025.”

Dr. Manmohan Singh said that history would remember him kindly. I’m happy to see that’s the case on social media today. He had a sense of humour. Leaders mean different things to different people, I can only speak to my experience. Personally, I remember being in my 20s and doing jokes about him on prime time bulletins at CNBC with our team having been made fully aware his office was watching and we’re okay with it. He was the most powerful man in the country and we were doing jokes about him five nights a week on a mainstream news channel, that weren’t even that great because we were utterly immature. Mind you this wasn’t even on a comedy show but as a part of a 9pm news bulletin that every businessperson in the country watched. Think about how far fetched that seems today. The mark of a truly great, secure, and humble leader, to my profession, is the ability to take a joke. Great leaders understand that’s part of the job, that powerful politicians and jest have always been historically intertwined for centuries, and that taking humour within grace makes them so much greater. A politician who can take a joke is truly powerful, and a politician who can make a joke about themselves is admirable, and invincible. In that respect, he stood tall above any Indian leader in my lifespan. Rest in peace sir 🙏
