Canada turning red is the geopolitical version of your golden retriever finally biting you.

🤡 Russia’s State Duma has given Elon Musk a choice: either cut off Starlink for Ukraine — or Russia will “leave no trace of anyone” State Duma chairman Vyacheslav Volodin claimed Elon Musk’s satellites are allegedly being used by Ukraine “to kill children” and said the billionaire “must understand this.” “All this could lead to us using weapons that will leave no trace of anyone,” Volodin threatened. So, translated from Duma-speak into normal language: shut down Starlink or Russia is apparently ready to destroy the entire world 🤣 What else should Musk do? Maybe personally apologize to the State Duma too?

Today was one of the largest Russian attacks, during which 600 drones and 90 missiles were launched at Ukraine. Also today, Italian football legend Andrea Pirlo was spotted in Moscow next to Russian footballer Dzyuba, who openly supports the Kremlin’s policy and the killing of Ukrainians. It’s sad to see childhood legends turn into moral bankrupts for whom nothing is more valuable than Russian rubles. Shame.

In 2025 Elon Musk joked about DOGE “accidentally” cutting Ebola prevention funding. They never reinstated the program and now it’s spreading like wild fire through Africa. There are 1,000 suspected cases, 100+ deaths, 8 countries on high alert. Ebola is not contagious in the way Covid-19 is, it’s highly avoidable with proper precaution and equipment - which was cut off by Musk.

The funniest maths in modern environmentalism. One almond requires 12 litres of irrigated water to produce. Peer-reviewed, ScienceDirect, 2017. A glass of almond milk contains roughly 50 of them. 600 litres of water before the carton is filled. The water comes from the San Joaquin Valley in California, which sits over one of the most over-extracted aquifers on earth. The valley floor has subsided by up to nine metres in places due to groundwater depletion. The carton is then refrigerated, sailed across the Atlantic, refrigerated again, lorried to a Manchester Tesco, and bought by someone who is concerned about the environmental impact of dairy. Meanwhile, in Cheshire. A British dairy cow drinks roughly 70 to 100 litres of water a day and produces around 28 litres of milk. That's about 3.5 litres of water per litre of milk. The water is rainwater that fell on her field or came from a local stream fed by the same rainwater. The rain was going to fall on the field whether the cow stood in it or not. 80% of her moisture intake comes from the grass itself, which is also rain. She converts the grass, free of charge, into a litre of milk containing seven times the protein and four times the calcium of almond milk, and shipped roughly 18 miles to the same Tesco. To recap. 600 litres of stolen aquifer, flown halfway round the world for nutritionally worthless beige water. Or 3.5 litres of rain that was already falling, converted by an animal you can pet, into actual food. The shopper picks the almond. She has been told this is the ethical position. The aquifer would like a word.
