“In this closed circle Eva Braun posed herself as the girl who was natural, healthy, joyfully physical.” — The World at War, E01 A New Germany … and women began screaming. It was like a mass religious ceremony. And I listened to his speech and I felt that more and more excited atmosphere in the…

I just wrote about how the realization came to me yesterday that where I am living is like a war zone. A place where multiple times daily and nightly the building literally shakes. The walls shake, my floor shakes, the furniture shakes, my bed shakes. Imagine what that is doing to my mind, body, and…

In my last post I wrote about my realization that the place I am living in – an apartment in a disgustingly grubby city which of fond of proclaiming how progressive, environmental, and green it is, how it is a “sanctuary”, is actually like a war zone. Just like bombs exploding randomly throughout the day…

Being in my apartment, I realized today, is like living in a war zone.

Who is that girl, in the hospital? Is that the girl? They raped her. I heard her scream. The illiterate thugs. Who stood up to them? “Its just their culture.” No one stood up. Now she’s in the hospital. Isn’t anyone going to stand?

My ultimate dream would be that everyone who is not a runner and/or regular bicyclist would be kicked out of this topographically amazing city because I think only those who run and bicycle truly deserve to live in it.

A new study done in China is being reported which has found that people who eat spicy food (those containing capsaicin) 3-7 days per week died 14% less than people who do not. People who eat spicy food 1-2 days per week died 10% less. They undertook a prospective study of 487,375 participants, aged 30-79…

I didn’t know this, but it turns out that chicken “litter”, i.e. chicken feces, is used to grow organic rice. That is highly disgusting. When I have always thought about rice, I had an image in my mind of some idyllic rice paddy in harmony with nature, sort of like you see in those pictures…
