TSCN#89: Understanding History and Breaking Free
Defending Herdshares, Decoding Big Tech's Servers, Simplifying Wellness, and June's Great Escape
Howdy Pioneers,
This week, I find myself in Canyon, Texas, where my roots run as deep as the Ogallala Aquifer. I'm here helping my family through some rough waters and, coincidentally, working on expanding the Beef Initiative right on the town square. Y'all know, the square where I first shook hands with Justin Trammell from Tir Bluen.
It's more than just nostalgia that draws me back to Canyon; it's the realization that the seeds of what we're building today were sown here. Come November, I'll be venturing into the jungles of Thailand for a health journey with Captain Sidd and the Dek Doi community. As I prepare for this new chapter, it's impossible not to look back on my own health scare and what I learned during harvest back in 2021 (you can read more about that in "Harvest of Deception").
So while I navigate this personal crossroads, let's dive into the fine work of the week, produced by our crew at Texas Slim's Cuts Publishing.
Campaign Success: A Landmark Win for Local Agriculture
We've got some groundbreaking news, folks! Thanks to the tireless work of our new Public Relations Director, Breeauna Sagdal, and Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie, the amendment to H.R 4368 has successfully passed. This landmark win for the Beef Initiative safeguards family-owned farms across the nation and puts a halt to a proposed USDA herd-share ban that threatened our local food supply
What's Herd-Share?
Herd-share is your legal ticket to buying shares in a local cattle herd, which means you get direct access to nutritious, locally raised, grass-fed beef. But it ain't just about what's on your plate; it's about preserving a way of life.
👉 Slim's Insight: Major kudos to Breeauna Sagdal and Rep. Massie for this monumental win. They're not just ensuring you get quality beef on your dinner table; they're securing the future of local farming. Remember, what ends up on your plate ain't just about filling your belly; it's a statement about the kind of world you want to live in.

Harvest of Deception: Hacking the Stock Market
In "Harvest of Deception," Giulia Ricca and I reminisce about the wild west of technology. We argue, "Those servers are our ranchers and ranches. Servers were the most important things from the very beginning as far as being and transferring that energy, the generator of the software." If you ever wondered how a computer server can feel like a beating heart, this one’s got your answer.
👉 Slim's Insight: The game-changers in tech didn't start big; they started smart. They knew how to tap into the unseen energy, just like we're doing with the Beef Initiative. Trust me, folks, Giulia and I are onto something here.
We take you back to the bedrock of the tech world to see how servers powered up giants. And we're borrowing a leaf from that history for the Beef Initiative

Lifestyle Management: 5 Pillars
From Jennifer Bambrick, our in-house health wizard, comes the advice that less might just be more. She insists, "Achieving better health doesn't have to be a torturous endeavor." So, what's her recipe for a healthier, happier you? "Starting your day with a protein and fat-rich breakfast stabilizes energy, improves mood, and reduces food cravings," Jennifer advises. Simple as that, but not necessarily easy.
👉 Slim's Insight: Health ain't complicated; it's just hard. You don't need a fad diet, you need good food and a dose of common sense. Jennifer's got a way of making it simple but deep—my kinda talk.
Jennifer guides us through the often confusing world of wellness. And, as she puts it, "Achieving better health doesn't have to be a torturous endeavor."

June's Great Escape: Starvation and Ideology Pt. 2
June explores the intricate web of ideology, nutrition, and economics, urging us to ponder deep questions about what really matters. "What diversions do our chosen ideologies create, leading us away from these essential truths? And have we allowed ideological constructs to supplant what was once the domain of spiritual belief and divine guidance?"
👉 Slim's Insight: June ain't just waxing philosophical; he's hitting at the core of our human experience. This piece challenges us to consider how our choices, whether about food or ideology, shape our health and souls. It's not just food for thought; it's soul food.
June’s narrative combines his personal spiritual awakening with a hard look at the systems we've built. Prepare to question the status quo.
