Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself.
She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it.
6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on.
7:10am - Breakfast: a smoothie containing avocado. The avocado was grown in Michoacán, Mexico, on land where a pine forest was until 2019. It required approximately 320 litres of water to produce. It was flown to the UK. Chloe sprinkled hemp seeds on top. The hemp seeds came from China. Chloe felt connected to the earth.
8:00am - Got dressed. Polyester leggings, derived from crude oil. A bamboo top that was processed using carbon disulphide in a Taiwanese chemical plant. Trainers with a recycled plastic upper that sheds microplastics into waterways with every wash. Chloe's outfit today had a higher carbon footprint than a ribeye steak. Chloe does not know this either.
9:30am - Posted on Instagram about choosing compassion. The phone was manufactured in a Shenzhen factory using cobalt from the DRC, where mining operations have displaced local communities and killed an unknowable number of small mammals, reptiles, and insects. The algorithm served Chloe an ad for oat milk. Chloe liked it.
12:00pm - Lunch: tofu stir-fry. The soy was grown in Brazil. Brazil produces more soy than almost any country on earth. The primary reason is soybean oil: one of the most widely used industrial and culinary oils on the planet. The soymeal left over after oil extraction is fed to livestock as a byproduct. Chloe is aware of the livestock connection and finds it outrageous. She has not looked into why the soy was grown in the first place. The answer is the oil. The oil is in her salad dressing.
1:30pm - Drove to the garden centre. The car runs on petrol. Chloe has a Just Stop Oil sticker on the bumper. This is not being commented on further.
3:00pm - Bought a monstera. The monstera was grown in a Dutch greenhouse using natural gas heating. Chloe put it next to the pothos that is slowly poisoning the neighbourhood cats.
6:00pm - Dinner: pasta with cashew cream sauce. The cashews were processed in Vietnam, often by workers in conditions that would prompt significant commentary if they were in an abattoir.
8:00pm - Watched a documentary about factory farming. Wept. Posted about it. Caption: "We have to do better."
Chloe is, by every measure she has chosen to measure by, doing brilliantly.
By some of the others, the picture is more complicated.
Chloe has not chosen to measure by those.

💬 @BurmyGolf reacts after @SouthernGuards finish 2nd in LIV Golf South Africa
HENNI: "Dean, congratulations on what was an incredible phenomenal week. I don't the adjectives I have will suffice. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you the way you hoped it would, both on an individual and team level. But in your words, how are you feeling right now?"
BURMESTER: "I mean, obviously a little gutted we didn't get it done, but I'm proud to be South African. I think South Africa showed up, and we've put on the greatest show in golf. I think it's clear to see they're the greatest fans in the world, and they came out in their thousands and they were behind us all the way. We threw everything at it, but Crushers did an amazing job today, and they managed to pip us by one. That's the nature of the beast, but we're going to be back next year and we're going to be stronger, and we're going ready to tackle this thing again."
HENNI: "I know how you're feeling right now, but from the images that have been broadcast around the world of you being this incredible entertainer, loving the fans here, what do you want to say about your week to the fans, now that you have a moment to do so?"
BURMESTER: "Greatest week of my life. Honestly, collectively, the greatest four days I've had on the golf course, the most fun. I didn't get down on myself once, which is something I tend to do, and it was impossible, everybody shouting my name, and just smiling, telling jokes, and shouting crazy things out there. It was amazing. I've never experienced that in my life. I know a lot of the American guys might have, but I've never experienced anything like that, and it was for me the greatest thing, so I can only say thank you so much, South Africa, and thank you to everybody around the world who watched and tuned in. Hopefully you enjoyed it as much as I did."

🤣 Possibly the most unusual press conference question you'll see
🤔 @brysondech decides - Super M or Steri Stumpie?

Reporter: You spoke about Bafana Bafana; the last time the country galvanized like this was back in 2010. How incredible has it been to see South Africans to come out and support this event the way they have the last two days?
Burmester: "Yeah, all people, big and small, proudly South Africa out there. It's amazing to have that kind of backing and we feel the love. It's so good to see a country once divided join together like that behind sport. I never really understood the Rugby World Cup or the 2010 World Cup before, but bringing LIV Golf here has given us a taste of doing that."
"We've had so many people from all walks of life inside these gates having a good time and enjoying not only the golf but now we get to go and watch one of our own, Black Coffee, do something special this evening. It's a really proud moment to be a South African."

@igitur Interesting, the win rates definitely go lower and higher for ODIs. Tests, I suspect, will be even broader.

Wonder where that code was sitting?! And how they managed to untangle it from the mess of VC / PE that must have tried to wring every last cent out of the wind up. Bet you there’s a cool story here.
