The reason I'm consistent about this isn't because I don't care about food quality. It's because I've watched the gatekeeping kill adoption. I've seen people who desperately needed the information conclude it wasn't for them because the image of carnivore they'd been given was a lifestyle they couldn't afford, in a body they didn't have yet, requiring a knowledge base they hadn't built. So they stayed where they were. Tired. In pain. On the standard advice that wasn't working. And somewhere on the internet, someone was photographing their dry-aged tomahawk on a marble countertop and talking about intentional ancestral nourishment. The information is too important to dress it up in an aesthetic that excludes the people who need it most. Ground beef. Eggs. Butter. It works. Tell everyone.

@msaunby @realbriankemple Just the opposite

@realbriankemple Education will survive. Indoctrination might not.

Watching professors panic as they realize the Titanic (academia) has lost its structural integrity (the advent of LLMs) even though it hit the iceberg a long time ago (the internet). (The ship wasn’t that well designed in the first place.)

No one is less trusting than the untrustworthy.

“All greatness of character is dependent on individuality. The man who has no other existence than that which he partakes in common with all around him, will never have any other than an existence of mediocrity.” —James Fenimore Cooper

No system and no leader can satisfy the human soul. The well from which we drink should not be a captivating preacher or a certain kind of worship experience. Nothing and no one can represent God accurately except by a likeness to Jesus Christ.

@puppiesDoglover Yes

Just say Yes if you love black puppy

Humans vs Border Collie: full effort.. Greyhound: just playing.. 😅

"The false becomes obvious when the true is familiar. Scripture, doctrine, and the moral logic of Christianity must be the air our children breathe—not merely the rules they occasionally hear," @AndrewTWalker writes: wng.org/opinions/keepi…

Our Attractive Female Cashier (AFC) accepted a mallard duck as payment for a tank of gas this morning after mistaking the duck for a $20 bill. AFC will be retrained how to properly identify legitimate US Currency going forward so that incidents like this happen with less frequency.

“But we are living in a skeptical and, if I may use the phrase, a thought-tormented age: and sometimes I fear that this new generation, educated or hyper-educated as it is, will lack those qualities of humanity, of hospitality, of kindly humour which belonged to an older day.” ~ James Joyce

Less is always more. The best language is silence. We live in a time of a terrible inflation of words, and it is worse than the inflation of money. —Eduardo Galeano

@Not_the_Bee Blaming the Boomers is like blaming your parents for your dissatisfaction with life.

Need a laugh? Read this list of how Boomers are low-key offending Gen Z all the time 😂 notthebee.com/article/need-a…

@Not_the_Bee Blame the Boomers!

My goals are different than most men, give me this with my family and a few good friends and I’ll be fine—keep the rest

@CharmianNeary @DougEyolfson @CBSEveningNews Not true

@DougEyolfson @CBSEveningNews Anti elitism is a sign of a nation in decline.

"On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you." That changes now. The new CBS Evening News starts Monday at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS.

@DougEyolfson @CBSEveningNews That’s not what he said

@CBSEveningNews What disturbs me is a major news organization implying the that ‘academics’ are not a reliable source of information. This is the same mindset that made the word ‘intellectual’ a pejorative. It is part of a wider strategy to make policy based on ideology rather than evidence

Cattle emit methane. Know what else does? - Termites (comparable to global cattle emissions) - Wetlands (10x cattle emissions) - Oceans (natural methane seeps) - Rice paddies (similar to cattle) - Landfills (from food waste, including vegetables) But only cattle get targeted because: - Termites don't threaten grain industry profits. - Wetlands aren't competing with processed food manufacturers. - Oceans can't be replaced with Beyond Meat. - Rice is already plant-based. Cattle can be replaced with products that generate revenue for the right industries. Regardless of what you think about climate change, climate activism is marketing.

@WarbeckMichael @SamaHoole Is there data to support your claim?

@F3Nails @SamaHoole That's right. There is no data to support the 97% claim

97% of scientists agree with whoever is funding them. The other 3% are banned from social media.

@WarbeckMichael @SamaHoole Data?

@SamaHoole Not true in the slightest.

I BEG TO DIFFER: Europe has a welfare system. This is presented as if the United States does not, which is absurd. The US runs one of the largest welfare systems on earth, spending trillions each year on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, disability, housing assistance, unemployment insurance, and refundable tax credits. In real terms and per capita, more people receive welfare-type benefits in the US than in most European countries. The difference is not generosity but branding: Europe makes welfare universal and visible, while the US targets aid to those who qualify and preserves incentives to work. Europe flatters dependency. The US subsidizes opportunity. Europe has free higher education. “Free” is a marketing trick. European higher education is paid for through heavy taxes and rationed by early tracking, exams, and enrollment caps. The US enrolls more students, produces more graduates, dominates global university rankings, and leads the world in research, patents, startups, and scientific breakthroughs. Europe’s system keeps costs down by limiting access. America’s system produces scale, excellence, and innovation. Free education that fewer people can access is not a flex. Europe has great public transport. Of course it does—because Europe is smaller, denser, older, and far more constrained. Public transport works when people are packed tightly and options are limited. The US spans a continent and optimizes for mobility, flexibility, and personal freedom. It also operates the most productive freight rail and logistics network in the world. Europeans ride trains because they have to. Americans drive because they can. Europe has a higher life expectancy. This is not a mystery or a moral triumph, it is the result of aggressive state control. European governments heavily tax fuel, strictly enforce speed limits, ban or severely restrict firearms, impose sweeping smoking bans, and regulate alcohol far more aggressively. The US allows adults to make riskier choices, and the statistics reflect that. Europe extends life expectancy by restricting behavior. America accepts tradeoffs in exchange for freedom. Europe has a much lower cost of living. This claim is simply false. Europe is not cheaper, it is prepaid. Higher taxes, VAT, expensive energy, and punitive fuel costs reduce take-home pay and hide the true price of living. Housing in major European cities like London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Dublin is brutally expensive. Consumer goods cost more because of VAT. The US is not more expensive, it is more optional. Europe locks everyone into the same package and calls it affordability. Europe has good and cheap healthcare. Europe’s healthcare is cheaper because it rations care, caps compensation, delays procedures, and limits access to advanced treatments. It also free-rides on American medical innovation, which Europe regulates out of existence and then imports. The US leads the world in biotech, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and cutting-edge care. Europe controls costs by lowering the ceiling. America pushes the frontier. Europe has a much higher quality of life. No, it has a higher minimum standard of living, and that is not the same thing. Americans earn more, have greater purchasing power, live in larger homes, own more property, and enjoy vastly greater economic upside. The US dominates in technology, energy, capital markets, entrepreneurship, and consumer choice. Europe compresses outcomes and suppresses ambition to guarantee comfort. America offers a higher average standard of living and a far higher ceiling for success.
