The Marshall has been amazing for Bangkok. Proper gigs. Here’s Yellow Fang. Just fantastic. Check them out on Spotify or whatever.

Been watching a bit of YouTube advice recently and all the videos are the exact same video rephrased in like 509 different ways. They’re literally all the same.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to β€œyou didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Are you a Lonely Planet fan? I’m not sure how I feel about them! We made a video about it. Give it a watch and share your thoughts here or in the comments.

Another plug for our latest video, which I think is really good and got barely any views. Our friend hid around Bangkok and we tried to find him. Please like and share all around.

I still remember how bad a state every single one of these dogs were in when I found them in various bad situations in Thailand.

This was a surprise from the @happydoggo.com team. Talk about emotional just 3 hours before the Marathon!

Anyone other YouTubers basically getting no views from suggested videos. It’s really odd. YouTube hates our channel. #youtube #vloggers #youtubers

But I do think it’s kind of weird to see how wonderful and vibrant the world is, and to then turn inwards. I find it so jarring when people like Backpacker Ben launch into anti immigration rants.

For instance, we went to Taiwan recently. And it’s infuriating how much better their high speed rail infrastructure is than Britain. It’s easy to look at HS2 and think what are we doing. But Taiwan rail was also massively expensive and over budget. We don’t see that. Just the finished product.

I have also noticed this. I kinda see why as often rw stuff comes from disillusionment and it’s easy to go travelling and think β€˜why can’t it be like this at home’ 1/n

I don’t understand people who use ChatGPT to plan holidays at all.
Part of the fun is the research! Reading the lonely planet. Watching videos. It makes you excited to visit a place! I can’t imagine offloading all that joy.
