‘If everyone were vegan, only a quarter of current farmland would be needed… Even a diet avoiding only meat from cattle and sheep would cut land use in half.’ This chart showing land use for various food is interesting. Cheese needs three times the amount of land of pig meat.

When streaming services release big blockbusters or the latest season of a TV hit they get lots of new subscribers. But half are gone six months later. And it hits streamers with smaller libraries harder (HBO Max, Apple TV+, Disney+).

‘Inflation Mac ’n’ Cheese’. I like this cartoon in the New Yorker. There’s something about the overly polished and nicely coloured look of most newspaper cartoons that puts me off. Whereas this one was clearly done by pencil, and I like the charm of that.
