Why I Sit and Watch While Everybody Else Works
Good morning, or mid-morning actually, from my perch here in northeast rural Thailand. I thought I might do a video post today. I transcribe the video and then put up a post at FreeTheAnimal.com if you’re interested in seeing both the video and the transcript, or either one, whatever you like. I use AI to…
Read MoreThe Day New York City Declared War on the Backyard Flame
In a move that landed with the subtlety of a dropped Weber lid on a concrete patio, Mayor Zohran Mamdani stood at a City Hall podium this week and announced that outdoor gas grills are now banned citywide for the purpose of cooking meat. The violation is a misdemeanor carrying a fine. Charcoal, however, is…
Read MoreNo Money No Honey
Copilot seems to be my go-to for images where it seems to discern my attitude and gets it right the first time. The prompt: There’s a well-known saying surrounding the SE Asia girl bar scenes: no money no honey. Make me a fun and fanciful image, wide landscape for a blog post header image envisioning…
Read MoreThe Criminal State of the State of California
Greetings, folks, from a crisp morning in rural Northeast Thailand. Quick explanation about that. Thailand up here in the Northeast has several seasons. Starting from January, it’s the cool season. Talking 60s, low 70s most of the time. And at night it dips down — sometimes low 60s, maybe even high 50s. Fahrenheit. In Celsius…
Read MoreWhat The World Needs Now Is War, Sweet War
Western Christianity is the one that kept the Greeks. Islam met them earlier and then shut the door. Judaism produced brilliant synthesizers and never let them run the institution. OK, as a prelude to this particular post, I want to say upfront that I had significant help putting it together. I got up about 12…
Read MoreMen: Using the C-Word Will Positively Improve Your Life
Hey folks. Doing the near daily video as normal. If you’ve been following, I do them from my man cave perch, my patio overlooking the property here in rural Thailand. I’m doing it from my office this time, in front of my computer, because I need to reference something on my side monitor here. I’m…
Read MoreMen Building Stuff Undercuts Feminism and Males in Name Only (MINOs)
Males In Name Only = MINOs. Time for another video from me, with a subsequent blog post with the transcription of this video. I’m going to take you on a little tour. The theme is building. Build! Okay, let’s go. This is a property in northeastern Thailand, Mukdahan Province to be exact, and this is…
Read MoreShould 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…
Read MoreThe 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…
Read MoreElon 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?…
Read MoreX is Neither a Truth nor Quality Seeking Platform
All right, here I am heading out again. Heading to a little market, get a few things in my truck. Thought it would be an okay time to do one of my videos. This is something that’s been on my mind for a while. Think back to when Elon bought Twitter. A lot of people…
Read MoreThe AI Doomsday. Be Scared. Very Scared.
So, been a while. Greetings from my as-yet-under-construction man cave here in rural Thailand. Plenty of videos detailing that process. 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…
Read MoreThey Lined Up in Pink for the Woman Who Strangled Her Babies
That was the watershed. Not Roe. Not “my body.” The day millions of women decided a born child was fair game, and the killer was her sister. Men say no. At least there was 1 man on that jury. He may have saved a lot. I don’t know. We do know that if a criminal…
Read MoreWhat 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…
Read MoreSomething Positive To Put Out
My last post here was about the governor of Massachusetts, surrounded exclusively by a gaggle of women, signing a state bill into law that permits women to kill babies right up to the moment of birth. I suppose the next logical step on that road is already obvious. We hear endless blather about postpartum depression…
Read MoreKilling Babies: Smiling, Cheering, and Clapping About It
I doubt that image or the video clip behind it are going to age well. It’s Massachusetts governor Maura Healey signing a bill to give females the right to kill babies up to the time of birth. She’s surrounded by other women cheering and clapping. It’s just a choice caricature, metaphor, and whatever else all…
Read MoreClassic Nikoley Rant: Fauci, Spain, Racism, and Climate
Last-minute reprieve. According to my own stated rules, posts published M-F are public and free; S-S are for paid members. It’s Saturday here in Thailand. When I finished, I says to myself, NO. This rant is just preaching to the choir. My hundreds of members are super-smart and high-IQ. And conservative. This will not do.…
Read MoreWhy I Hate the Left and Democrats
Quick one. Someone put this together on X and it’s worth sharing. If a right-wing person is gay, then he is, and he doesn’t care what others think. If a left-winger is gay, then he demands legal changes, protests against everything and everyone, and turns it into a political struggle. If a right-winger is vegan,…
Read MoreNoah Revoy and I discuss AI’s effect on Society and Geoarbitrage
When AI meets the borderless economy, the rules of wealth shift. I’ve been doing these discussions now and then—sometimes a year or two in between—since late 2018 with Noah Revoy. Here’s a helpful search link to find past recordings if interested. Here’s the latest one we recorded last night. Noah is a highly competent personal…
Read MoreWestern Society Has Changed
Going all the way back to when I was a kid, the thing I remember most through all those years of growing up, through adolescence and young adulthood, into my 30s, 40s, and even my 50s, was that my life was always filled with a sense of optimism. That held true right up until about…...
