Great article. Always learning from these guys.
Two weeks ago, Grindr put on a fashion show of wool from "gay" rams rescued from slaughter. The media and the Internet swooned. But this feel-good story is a window into the dark role of forced reproduction in animal agriculture.

"If anything, the gay wool fashion show should make us think not about the good fortune of the few rescued rams but about how animal farming systematically, routinely, and often violently exploits the reproduction of all the animals it encounters."

Just in time for your Thanksgiving feast, @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social and I killjoy the gay ram story over at @newrepublic.com. Sorry, but *all* animal farming is predicated on exploiting the sex of farm animals. Oh, and those rams (probably) ain't gay. Enjoy!

Myths about our ancestors' meaty diets animate modern politics and culture wars about food and identity. But the history of human diets tells a different story about food's past and lets us be more rational about its future.

There is no scientific evidence for any meaningful climate benefits of "grass-fed" beef, as many people, including myself and @gnrosenberg.bsky.social, have long been saying. This news study in PNAS further strengthens this point.

Just completed Dune: Prophecy, and observing that, contra claims of "woke" media, popular narratives are now often conservative in their messages, it's notable that HBO is single-handedly trying to restore the deeply reactionary ancient trope of the poisonous bastard.
