The Ica Valley sits on the Peruvian coast, north-west of Lima, at the foot of the Andes. It is one of the driest inhabited places on Earth. Annual rainfall is measured in single millimetres. Without external water, almost nothing grows there.
In the early 2000s, the Peruvian government, supported by the US and the World Bank, designated the Ica Valley as a hub for high-value export agriculture. The land was cheap. The labour was cheap. The climate, paradoxically, was perfect for crops that respond well to sunshine and controlled irrigation. The water would come from the aquifer beneath the valley, drawn up through wells at minimal cost to the agribusinesses that bought up the land.
The crop that drove the expansion was asparagus. Between 1990 and 2013, the area under asparagus in Ica went from around 410 hectares to over 10,000.
Asparagus is a thirsty crop. It requires 15,000 to 17,000 cubic metres of water per hectare per year. By 2004, annual groundwater extraction in the valley had already exceeded the aquifer's natural recharge rate. By 2013 the overdraft was extracting 60% more water than the aquifer could replace. In some areas the water table is now dropping by eight metres per year, one of the fastest rates of aquifer depletion recorded anywhere in the world.
Small farmers, who relied on shallow wells, found their wells dry. The local water utility is now struggling to supply the city of Ica. Some of the export companies themselves, including Athos, one of the largest, have begun retiring asparagus fields because the water is no longer there.
99% of Peruvian asparagus is exported. A large proportion of it goes to British supermarkets, where it appears year-round, frequently labelled in a way that emphasises freshness and a green, vegetal wholesomeness.
The asparagus on the British plate in February is a unit of water that has been pumped out of a desert aquifer in a country 6,300 miles away. The water is non-renewable on any human timescale. The aquifer is not being refilled. The valley is being mined.
The British grass on the Welsh hillside is being watered by rain.
The rain is free, and arrives whether or not anyone is paying attention.
We have built a system in which the difficult thing is easy and the easy thing is being made impossible.

Clickbait. Everybody got their autograph and selfie, the passage to the hotel was kept free for guests, and I still got to the airport on time. One man, no security. Handled. What’s your problem ?

If you needed a reminder that fans are not always priority No. 1 -- turn to Russell Crowe -- cause the guy was absolutely not having it outside of his Paris hotel. 🎥 Backgrid

I’d like to make a joke about how R’s balance budgets better than D’s, but we have lots of R’s and federal spending is out of control.
Preventing the bankruptcy of the US would make a great midterm issue for either party. But crickets.

We have another dog gunning down a human. foxnews.com/us/dog-acciden… The growing evidence that canines are arming themselves is being ignored by the media. jonathanturley.org/2025/11/16/the… For my part as a dog owner, I plan to fork over treats when demanded until a truce is reached.

Apologies, I was a little busy tonight making my first ever jalapeño cheddar pork sausages. It was a struggle but I’ll make the rest Tuesday night. Definitely need an @TurnBucklBBQ class 🫡 If they taste half as good as they smell, 💰🤞🏼

If you're tempted to think the internet needs to be turned off remember that without it we wouldn't be able to see people in India writing in their own words. Constant scams, then they talk about our country like they're just waiting for their chance to visit the America ATM.

Since we just sunk Iranian boats emplacing mines during a "cease fire", with them allegedly planning to "open the Strait", can we just acknowledge that there is NO AGREEMENT that Iran will honor, even in part?
Even if Daddy T got the agreement. They LIE.

The world is not a safe space.
The liberal world order didn’t survive because everyone agreed with it. It survived because the West was strong enough to defend it.
Meanwhile, the Europeans are busy debating whether free speech is too offensive while China, Russia and the rest of the world are playing for power.
Weakness is not a virtue. It’s an invitation.

This is in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Me and who are coming to see it?

@JoshuaLisec Cincinnati was name after the mythical Roman Cincinnatus. He held the office of dictator twice in his life solved the crisis both times and went back to farming, the Roman ideal. It’s why George Washington was called the American Cincinnatus.

Folks are just now finding out about the anti-clanker political movement.
I advised my clients and they have been taking action but very smart and wealthy can’t see this coming.
If folks do not act now, 2028 elections will be owned by them.
It is a very big deal to you.

We uncovered something far bigger than I ever expected. After seeing coordinated false attacks against the Utah data center project, we brought in an advanced data science team to trace where the content was coming from and the results were shocking. What we found led back to organized networks, political activist groups, and funding trails tied to massive international entities. We dug through IRS 990 filings, tracked IP data from around the world, and uncovered what appears to be a coordinated campaign targeting energy and data center projects across multiple regions. I shared 90 pages of evidence with federal law enforcement and raised concerns directly with contacts at the White House. This isn’t speculation. The filings, funding records, dates, and connections are documented. There’s a coordinated PR war happening around energy infrastructure and data centers, and we’re not going to ignore it.

Except @PeteHegseth is unequivocally correct
Mike Young@micyoung75
The pronoun line is the headline they wanted. Here's the one they didn't want you to read. "Lawyers don't run battalions, commanders do." That is not a rhetorical flourish. Hegseth fired the top lawyers for the Army, Navy, and Air Force last year for being, in his words, "roadblocks to orders." He announced a "ruthless, no-excuses" overhaul of military legal offices in March. He stood at West Point today and told the new officer corps their hands are untied. The laws of war are not a bureaucratic inconvenience. They exist because military operations without legal constraints produce outcomes the country then spends decades trying to account for. The JAG corps is the institutional memory of that lesson. Last year, military strikes killed people on boats in the Caribbean - vessels the administration said were involved in drug trafficking. Democratic lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds released a joint statement calling on service members to refuse illegal orders if given. Trump called that "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by Death!" Federal prosecutors sought to indict them. A grand jury said no in February. He quoted Charlie Kirk to West Point graduates this morning. The people on those boats do not get named. The pronoun line got the headline.
