I’ve decided to make some bread this week. It’s possible if I look really hard that I will find pre-packaged tortillas. I can also go with rice or pasta. Actually, the steam bun I created over oil poached vegetables was so good it was ridiculous. With some kimchi on the side? Are you kidding me?…
I had the unfortunate displeasure of running across the following video today. I would not go so far as to say it ruined an otherwise wonderful day. I don’t remember a day that has not been ruined. People ruin other people’s days as a hobby. This is not everybody. Some people work really hard not…

25 March. 2021 Without getting too deeply about the reasons why I live in the Republic of Belarus and have been here for almost 20 years, suffice it to say we are no longer the most eco-friendly country in the world. In fact, the last 7 years have proved the willingness of the state to…
I went searching for the state of the art for the eco activist. You have to give credit to these people. To think that wanting to breathe fresh air and to stop the damage caused by completely unnecessary economic activity has become criminal and scornful seems crazy.

Sometimes I just get tired of talking and thinking and I like to listen to other people talk and think. But not like I’m looking for someone to tell me how to live but someone who tells me about the people who tell us how to live. This is where Christopher Hitchens actually shines. As…
1420 interview is not dead. This is the problem with social media in general. You get good at something, people notice who you are and suddenly you’re making important decisions.
