    • This isn't a gay issue but I must recommend a visit to the charming village of Maekampong, an hour or so drive from Chiang Mai. My partner arranged this trip for me without explaining anything about it; he knew I'd like it and wanted to surprise me. He did. In short, it is situated in a beautiful, unspoiled and mountainous country and is distinguished by its wooden houses, tiny temple, numerous restaurants and a commitment to eco-tourism. I didn't see many other falang visitors but it is evidently popular with Thais. 
    • If Teixeira's list is a true summary of what's wrong, it still goes back to how Ezra Klein's piece appears to me, that hindsight is 20/20.  It's a little bit late now to realize all of that. Or is it? Corporate media loves to repeat how Democrat approval is in the toilet.  Yet I look at this Blue wave that's predicted for the midterms.  Those two things are so incongruent, it has to be a warning not to count on success too far into the future, without earning voter approval with a better playbook.  We have some clever Dems that can do it, like Buttigieg.   My sense is we are living in a similar time to the Bush Jr. era, when his popularity was so low, the GOP seemed toxic.  Obama was an awesome candidate that came along at the right time.  Back then, after the Obama landslide, Pundits asked if that was the end of the GOP.  If only they'd seen into the future at Ezra Klein's piece. 😉  I don't want to see the Dems "die on that leftist hill" after the midterms, whatever issue might represent that leftist hill.   To quote Teixeira....            So this would be a great time for the left to recalibrate its approach, right? But are they?  To paraphrase George W. Bush: “Is our leftists learning?”     Frankly I'm exhausted by how the left seems to burn everything down if we move to the center.  Even now I've been called names for supporting Talarico. "Your white is showing." "Your racism is showing." etc. When I watched the new Adam Kinzinger documentary on YouTube I interpreted a briefly passing comment he made, that he doesn't expect anything different from liberals.  They don't change.   I hope he's wrong.      
    • I'll be there! Arriving from Cambodia Saturday afternoon. 
    • After a two-hour flight from Kuala Lumpur, I arrived in Siem Reap, Cambodia. This was my first time using the new airport. Everything went very smoothly (immigration and baggage claim), and outside the building are three different telecom company offices where you can buy a SIM card with internet very cheaply. The new airport is so far from the city! It took me an hour to reach my hotel. There's a very nice new road for most of it, but the speed limit there is only 60 km/h. That's not very fast. I arrived at the MEN'S Resort hotel. After settling into my room, I went to relax by the pool. Between five and six, many men entered the resort to use the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and cruising area. A mix of older Western tourists and young Khmer boys. The dimly lit steam room seemed particularly popular for cruising. The lockable cabins were also frequently used. Nudity is not permitted in or around the pool. In the cruising area, including the steam room, jacuzzi, etc., nudity is permitted. Men walk around with a small towel. Some with nothing underneath, but many with underwear on. Just to be clear: anyone not staying at the resort can still use the facilities for a small entrance fee. Massages are also available and can be booked through reception. Peak cruising time is between about 7 and 8:30 PM. After 9 PM, it completely empties out. So it's a relatively short window to "peak"... Haha. Even I, as a somewhat chubby 45-year-old man, had some guys interested because there was some touching here and there, especially in the steam room. Sometimes subtle, sometimes not so subtle. One guy in particular caught my eye. Very cute. From Cambodia but only in Siem Reap for a few days. After we touched each other in the jacuzzi, he invited me to a private room together. He's an eager kisser, too. Very nice.  
    • You provide a good précis there of the conservative civil servant position on the last years of the British rule in Hong Kong. i don’t think either of us has much to add at this stage. However I hope that readers will note that the position elucidated is predicated on the notion that democracy in general, and in particular pressure from below in Hong Kong for more democracy, is being accepted as a bad thing.  Not a worldview I can support.
