I always wanted a forum integrated with the blog, but what I didn’t want was to contend with the trolls, haters, perpetual time wasters, and those who think others owe them and work for them for free.

Biden: I Will Neither Vaccinate, Nor Mask
Got that? Just try and make me, and 10s of millions of others. Incidentally, Banh Mi is my start-over Twitter account, since after 13 year and 7,000 legitimate followers (not bought from Indian click mills as so many do), my account was deleted without notice. There was a right to appeal, which I did. That has not happened in the three or four months since. —> Check Out The 30% Off ...
Islander Update and My New Digs In Phuket
As the story goes, I seem to like the islands the most. I've been to and stayed at a few of them; and since Jan 1, 2021, live on one. What is it that's so nice about them? Pretty much most things important in a tropical paradise. You have to get to them across water, by boat or ferry. The one I live on, Phuket, is one of the few with an international airport. Also, a bridge. One the other hand, ...
The History And Cancer Of Feminism
A juxtaposition, take your pic: Which would you choose...if nobody was looking or listening in? I gave a talk in the summer of 2019 in Warsaw, Poland on this very subject. Now, do you want to hear the after-interview? Alright, that's about it. ...The principal problem now is that very many people no longer have to truly face the consequences of their own ideas and In the last ...
World Health Organization Lies About Herd Immunity
It's like I'm living in this dystopian anti-reality, like a black hole of nothing but lies and the closer you get, the more difficult becomes any possibility of escape. And it's almost everywhere, globally. The only thing that gives me hope and pause is Texas, Florida, and a few other shimmering lights on the planet. I'm seriously considering packing it in here in Paradise—Rawai Beach, Phuket, ...
How Is The Covid-19 Vaccine Going?
Oh, for sure, billions will get it. It will make hundreds of billions of dollars for elite financial and authoritarian interests. Baked into the cake. The Raison d'etre of Covid in the first place. Trump was the instrument. He got played like a cheap fiddle. He is unworthy to be President again. So. Fuck. Off. About. That. You can't have your cake and eat it too. They got him. You ought to ...
Post Covid Intervention Ergo, Propter Covid Intervention
"Shortly after he began eating a Paleo, Primal, Whole Foods, Low-Carb, Ketogenic diet, he died." Get it? The point is, it's very hard to assign proximate cause for the whole bunches of effect we practice in a modern human life. Want a clear and unambiguous cause of death? It's easy. Post bullet to the head ergo, propter bullet to the head CovidCon: Post Covid ergo, propter Covid ...
90-Year Old “Takimika” is Badass!
...And with an infectious smile that begs you to say, "just tell me what to do, ma'am!" She didn't even start training until the age of 65—25 years ago—and became a personal fitness instructor at 87. Hahahaha, how joyous to get to laugh while at the same time, realizing that no matter how good at life you get, there'll always be someone to shame you—well, perhaps except for her. She's ...
Masks As Socially Distasteful As Smoking?
Remember when smoking was cool? If not, watching old movies will get you up to speed on that in a hurry. I still recall in 1970, at the age of 9, tobacco ads being banned on television. While smoking perhaps never enjoyed the high-virtue status that wearing silly cloth masks looped around one's Dumbos does throughout the world today, it sure went the other way soon enough, especially in ...
Oscar Is Dead, Now Rolling In Its Grave
What an anti-spectacle it has become. Who needs to even get into it, when a picture is worth a thousand words? A WSJ opinion piece by William McGurn, entitled "Give Bill Maher an Oscar," carries the very pithy sub-title: Unlike Hollywood’s woke, at least its Communists could make good movies. I goes on. Defenders of Hollywood would say this year’s Oscars represent the choice of ...
What’s Behind The Mask?
Have you considered that there's another aspect to this whole mask insanity besides the typical theater and virtue signalling you already suspect or understand? Let me tell you about an exchange I had in email just today with someone who's a quite well-known published author and who has a good newsletter comprised of astute book reviews. That's true, in spite of his behavior, and I'll continue ...
Public Service: Oracle Films Soundly Obliterates Covid
While any Oracle can be wrong, the thing to achieve is to be incrementally more right or prescient, rooting out being wrong and self-serving chronically. While I tongue-in-cheek repeat often that 2020 transformed my misanthropy—from focussed and targeted, to blurry and generalized... ...in the large it's a good thing because, being somewhat deferent to the proclivities and idiosyncrasies ...
As The Covid Petrification Peters, What’s The Next Petrifying Thing?
One thing we know since about November of 2016, is that this world with its ubiquitous "smart" phones—with far more people below 100 IQ on them than above—combined with its fully mature Social Scare and Cancel Media, is that the elite, the political class, the media, and the corporate giants love to keep the world petrified in fear and loathing...but not in Las Vegas. That has to go, too. So ...
Milk: Object Lesson In Protein to Energy Ratio
The following is a rabbit hole I went down on my most recent post, CHILI CON CARNE, EXPAT STYLE, for those members subscribed to the Health Bundle. I'm excerpting it and editing a bit into a full post for Member Free Content. I'm asked a lot why I drink low-fat or sometimes, even skim milk. Admittedly, it's not as luxuriously silky as is whole milk. First, us brothers grew up principally ...
Chili Con Carne, Expat Style
I've always been a big fan of making basic chili con carne with beans, starting with canned chili beans, then add meat and other stuff to make it actually good! Being an expat makes that skill a pretty good thing. While there are some decent farang (Thai racial slur for white person) restaurants here that serve up chili, it's expensive and usually not up to my standards. Now, doing this is ...
Billions of People Pissed at Texas
I recall last spring when the typical seasonality of the virus naturally attenuated and principalities around the world started easing their various commie, totalitarian measures...and how those who love everything commie and lockdown measures—never good enough—pronounced dire warnings: JUST WAIT 2 WEEKS!!! —a pathetically veiled hope and prayer that a lot of people die so they're right in a ...
In A Recent Study Of Combined Moron…
Who didn't know that Democrats aren't the stupidest fucks who ever walked the planet? Ironically, they are the Big Corp stooges, now, but that's easy to understand since, they were always fucking dumb as nails and Big Corp simply exploited it. And now they are not only onboard, they riot and loot for Big Corp overlords who pay millions by means of ad buys to Big Media to keep everyone in a high ...
How Do You Change Someone’s Mind?
Most smart people make the common mistake of believing that just Huge Lots of more time bestowing your superior logic and reason upon your unwashed interlocutor will do the trick. Never happens. Because, it's counter-productive. In fact, the more you argue reason and logic, the more they become entrenched, so do you, and it's no longer about any sort of honest evaluation of data, but who ...
George Floyd and Derek Chauvin: The Video Summary
Here is the free-access 10-minute videoI put together for the previous post: GEORGE FLOYD AND DEREK CHAUVIN: THE VERDICT. No, it's not a sales pitch for that post which is paid access in the Politics and Social Relationships category. It stands on its own and gives the main points for my judgment that all sides in this were way off. Nobody looks good. That's what happens when you politicize and ...
George Floyd and Derek Chauvin: The Verdict
Never paid much attention and never wanted to get biased one way or the other. We lose any possibility of genuine satisfaction for justice being done when "justice" itself is debased to a level that is politicized by our very State and Federal levels of government; moreover, when it becomes sensationalized by media from so-called news to click-bait outlets who're selling more advertising the ...
Thanks For Your Membership and Premium Levels
I didn't know if I was completely off my rocker, or what. The only thing you can do in those—for me—oftentime circumstances is grit your teeth, close your eyes, and hit PUBLISH! That post went up late afternoon my time here in Thailand, and the email out to my ~10,000 contacts, set for 9pm my time, corresponding to 6am on the west coast US, and 9am NYC. I went to bed at 10pm without ...
