Mainstream media has lost much credibility. They can regain it by dipping their collective heads in the bullshit of the masses they abhor.

Far from being a dull backwater, San José del Guaviare is one of Colombia's best department capitals in which to live.

The idea that our writer is a wild rover is wide of the mark. He has been more of a mild rover.

Many Colombians are proud of their country's rich biodiversity. But expressing pride about this is easy. Taking measures to maintain it is far more difficult.

Artificial intelligence looks set to create a class of largely irrelevant humans. Some of us are already at that stage, it seems.

The native-knows-best belief loses some credence in La Chorrera indigenous reserve deep in Colombia's Amazon. It's autonomous in name but not in nature.

What are they afraid of?
Google Blogger's recent deletion of two of my covid-19 pandemic-era posts is a strange, senseless, and worrying development.

The Putumayo River is said to allure all who see it. This must have been at play in my visit to Puerto Asís, in Colombia's south, close to the border with Ecuador.

But decorum is dead
The discourse in US politics these days rarely rises above the level of schoolyard bullies. Is it a sign that the country's democracy is under threat?
