Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

Greg Burgess writes....
So apparently Jill and I are on a plane to China with Trump, Elon Musk, half the Cabinet, and a collection of CEOs whose combined net worth could probably refinance the moon.
Totally normal day for Gen X.
And I just can’t stop laughing at how the media spent YEARS telling us:
- China hated Elon
- Trump was “finished”
- America was collapsing
- capitalism was dead
- and everybody important was abandoning the U.S.
Meanwhile, here we are somewhere over the Pacific looking like the cast of Succession meets Top Gun: Retirement Plan Edition.
Remember when China sanctioned Marco Rubio back in 2020 and everybody acted like the geopolitical chessboard had permanently shifted?
Now suddenly everybody’s still showing up to the table because — shocking development — nations tend to like:
- money
- technology
- manufacturing
- trade
- AI
- energy
- semiconductors
- and not being economically irrelevant
Who knew.
The best part is the internet meltdown cycle never changes.
Trump:
“America needs stronger trade relationships.”
Media:
“HITLER.”
Elon:
“I make electric cars, rockets, satellites, AI, and robots.”
Internet activists:
“Yeah but we posted an angry hashtag.”
Cool.
I’m sure Beijing is trembling before your TikTok resistance movement.
And flying with this group is exactly what you think it would be.
Trump walks around the cabin narrating reality like it’s an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Geopolitical:
“Great flight. Powerful people. Very high IQ. The Chinese are saying they’ve never seen anything like it.”
Elon looks like he hasn’t slept since 2019 and is simultaneously calculating orbital trajectories and wondering if the beverage cart could be automated.
Meanwhile Jill and I are sitting there like two exhausted Gen Xers who survived dial-up internet, chain-smoking restaurants, lawn darts, and drinking from garden hoses… wondering how in the hell we became side characters in the weirdest timeline imaginable.
Honestly, at this point if Trump walked into Beijing blasting “Danger Zone” while Elon live-streamed it from orbit, I wouldn’t even blink.
Because the people who told us America was over are still tweeting from iPhones, driving Teslas, using Starlink during hurricanes, and cashing checks tied to the same capitalist machine they claim to hate.
Gen X translation:
The world’s still running.
The adults are still making deals.
And the internet is still confusing hashtags for accomplishments.
Carry on.

The left will simultaneously stand outside an event with signs promoting political murder, hysterically scream about impending fascism, do podcast interviews explaining why political murder is justified, and explain why assassination victims had it coming, then also confidently declare that when one of their own takes them literally and attempts an assassination, that it must be staged.

6 coisas que os filhos fazem só por um tempo... e depois desaparecem para sempre 😞
1. Um dia eles param de correr até você assim que acordam.
Aquele barulho de pezinhos no corredor, o abraço na cama... aos poucos dá lugar ao silêncio e à porta fechada do quarto.
2. Eles param de dizer: "Mamãe, papai, olha!"
Já não correm mais para te mostrar cada pedrinha ou cada desenho.
Pouco a pouco, o mundo deles fica mais silencioso... e mais deles.
3. Um dia eles param de segurar sua mão enquanto caminham.
E de repente você sente o vazio.
Não porque o amor acabou... mas porque eles estão crescendo.
4. Um dia eles param de dormir nos seus braços.
Aquele apoio no seu ombro, a respiração ficando calma...
são momentos que, sem aviso, acabam.
5. Em algum momento, eles deixam de acreditar que o seu beijo resolve tudo.
Antes bastava um curativo.
Depois, as feridas mais profundas começam a se esconder na música e no silêncio... não mais nos seus braços.
6. Eles param de te trazer seus "tesouros".
Folhas, papéis, pequenas descobertas.
Aquele amor puro e espontâneo... simplesmente diminui.
A infância não é um ensaio. Acontece agora e, enquanto ainda pedem colo e chamam você o dia inteiro, aproveite cada momento. ❤️
