Can beef ever be sustainable? A really good read on excessive meat consumption - a staple of almost every meal for many people - and the unsustainable excesses of our capitalism-driven food systems.

(And I write that having given up being vegetarian several months ago - after 1.5 years.)

Does a higher cognitive ability generally lead to earning more money? Above a certain level, no - according to a large 10-year study of 59,000 Swedish men.

"How can you justify this enormous wage gap? You can’t. As studies such as this make clear, it’s not meritocracy that is driving the wage gap

Happy 97th Birthday to Sir #DavidAttenborough 🌿

A living legend who reflects the very best of humanity.

"Many individuals are doing what they can. But real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and in our economics and in our politics."

It's always a great mystery... Like when spending 5 minutes looking for a pen you were already holding in your "invisible" hand 🥴

And breathe that clean, freeezing air! I'm back in the UK for a while. From toxic smog and oppressive heat, which make living in Thailand at this time of year hard, to a cold spring in the UK.

My internal thermostat is in shock 🥶 But I'll never tire of this air or these views.

My mum often sends me sunset photos and videos from the UK. But this is a particularly special one, with robins merrily twittering away. Another reminder to spend more time looking up and around at all the beauty that surrounds us. With everything going on in the world, it's too easy to forget.

I'm now also 43 and fitter than I've ever been. I only started running on and off 1.5 years ago and have since set myself big goals, some of which I've already achieved.

With determination and dedication - in whatever we do, I believe we can all achieve amazing things.
