We’ve ground our feed at the farm since dad and grampa bought their first Farmhand mill in the 1960’s. We get non gmo grain from local farmer and custom blended mineral from two local elevators. Don’t make fun of my tractor. She’s paid for and very reliable.

A major city in Colombia cooled itself by 2°C simply by planting millions of trees and shrubs—demonstrating that nature provides one of the most effective cooling solutions available. Medellín has turned its urban environment into a cooler, more livable space through its innovative Green Corridors project, launched in 2016. The initiative planted nearly 880,000 trees and 2.5 million smaller plants along busy roads and waterways, replacing heat-trapping concrete with lush vegetation. This created an extensive network of interconnected green zones that function like natural cooling systems, reducing the city's average temperature by more than 2°C. Beyond cooling, the project delivers wide-ranging benefits: it purifies the air, boosts urban biodiversity by welcoming back wildlife, and fosters a healthier atmosphere through shade and evapotranspiration—the natural process by which plants release water vapor. Honored with the 2019 Ashden Award for Cooling by Nature, Medellín's approach has become an inspiring model for cities worldwide seeking sustainable ways to adapt to rising temperatures and combat climate change.

A kid walks into a store & buys a sack full junk food: nobody cares. A tax paying farmer tries to sell raw butter & milk to his neighbor: a mob of Karens, bureaucrats & lawyers is ready to crucify him. This is absolute proof of a broken system. Take it from @JoelSalatin

Mushrooms evolved into psilocybin twice. A fascinating new study has revealed that psilocybin—the psychedelic compound in magic mushrooms—arose not once, but twice, through entirely independent evolutionary events in distant corners of the fungal kingdom. In the familiar Psilocybe species, psilocybin is assembled via a well-characterized four-enzyme pathway. Yet when scientists examined certain small, drab fiber cap mushrooms (from genera like Inocybe and allies), they discovered a completely unrelated biochemical assembly line: different genes, different enzymes, different intermediate steps—yet the end product is chemically identical. This is a remarkable case of convergent evolution: two lineages, with no shared ancestry for this trait, each invented their own molecular machinery to manufacture the same powerful molecule. Why fungi bother making psilocybin at all is still unclear. Some hypothesize it serves as a defense chemical (the blue bruising reaction in damaged Psilocybe tissue hints at this), while others propose roles in inter-species signaling or entirely unknown ecological functions. Whatever the benefit, it was evidently strong enough for natural selection to favor it twice, in very different habitats. The finding also carries immediate practical value. With psilocybin advancing in clinical trials for treatment-resistant depression and other conditions, having two distinct biosynthetic pathways gives researchers multiple genetic toolkits for engineering microbes or yeast to produce the compound in bioreactors—potentially making therapeutic-grade psilocybin far cheaper and more scalable. In the end, nature quietly solved the same chemical puzzle twice, deep in the soil, millions of years apart—and only now are we stumbling across its elegant, redundant handiwork.

Sauna reduces microplastics by 86%. In one of the most detailed self-tracked detox experiments to date, Bryan Johnson found that 15 high-heat dry sauna sessions significantly reduced environmental toxins and microplastics. Over eight months, semen microplastics dropped by 88%, and blood levels fell by 86%. Endocrine-disrupting phthalates were completely eliminated, and other toxins decreased by 15-65%. The sauna's high heat (200°F) and low humidity cause intense sweating and vasodilation, which help flush out pollutants.
