I Say Again: Money Makes You Fat. Nothing Else.

I’ve had this notion ever since I moved to Thailand nearly seven years ago, in early 2020. I came here quite a lot in the late 1980s, spending months in the country over several different trips, and I can’t recall ever seeing a fat person. I’m sure they existed, but there weren’t enough of them…

Should X Become a New Full-Fledged 24/7 Media Company?

Thinking Out Loud From Thailand: Another 30-Day X Block, Spanking Kids, and Why X Should Become a Real Media Company Good morning from Thailand. This is a thinking-out-loud post. Use your own judgment. Push back if you wish. I’m on day four of a 30-day block from X. Second one this year. The first, back…

The Funny Hate Mail I Get

I live in this funny space in my life where I’m really happy, really content, and really satisfied: 65 years old, living in rural northeastern Thailand with a really great gal. It’s been interesting to experience that unfold. I’ve always received some degree of hate mail or hate comments. On my blog, those are typically…

Elon Musk Banned Me for 30 Days Again. Why It’s Dishonest

Time for another episode. It may seem silly that I’m wearing sunglasses on an overcast, slightly rainy day up here in northeastern Thailand. I’m on the patio of my man-cave perch. This is probably where I’ll end up doing most of the talking videos, as opposed to the walk-around ones. What do I have today?…

What I wanted to discuss this morning is the laughable proliferation of the AI-doomsday thing. I’m gratified because I see huge numbers of people saying, “Oh, here comes the fear scam again.” Some even harkening…

Potato Breakthrough

This is a cooking-video post, which I haven’t done in quite a while. At just over 16 minutes, it may be a little long, but I made it that way for a reason. Recently, I’ve been trying to figure out how to make the potatoes Thailand produces—what I call Thai potatoes. They’re yellow-fleshed potatoes, but…

What Will Women Do When They No Longer Have The Support of Men?

Good, nice little late morning. I just poured—let me see—three truckloads of concrete, about five cubic meters each. So that’s roughly eighteen yards in American terms, all for the front yard driveway and parking lot. I had the guys working it, and it was pretty cool. I have a separate video specifically about that. What…

How Do You Build In A Foreign Country Like I Do?

Greetings from my plastic Adirondack chair overlooking the front yard. This video is going to be—I honestly don’t even know what it’s going to be. But let’s get started. August is historically, by far, the rainiest month in this region of Thailand. We just hit September 1st or 2nd, so we’ve gone over the hump.…
