An expat in Thailand for 20+ years, with an occasional unfiltered left-leaning opinion. The music of my life story: - feel free to save it and play it.
This pic of Trump's table says everything. Melania and the others are shocked and scared. Trump, on the other hand, knew that it wasn't a real threat and is completely relaxed. It was yet another false flag op to try to boost his ratings. That's also why he went this year - he's always avoided it.
Tom, it's even more prominent on that link you posted yesterday, today. Yesterday it was just a sub-paragraph, today it's highlighted. 😉
Looks OK in the app on my phone, Andrew, even on a US VPN. Something changed in your device settings perhaps? Or a firmware upgrade?
You've probably seen this. George, but if not it says everything. The sign-up bonus and student loan forgiveness are just plain sick. Ran in a break on FX last night:
This is a 30-second ad that appeared on a US cable channel overnight. It says everything you need to know about how low the US has fallen already under Vought and Vance's #Project2025. Sign-up bonuses. Student loan forgiveness. They're desperate for useful idiots! #ICE #Facists #Racists
Fabulous idea. I got a sore back from planting, but here you go.....😁
At this rate, it'll be Lehrmann trying to stop Zali Burrows going back in for the hat! #Lehrmann #LehrmannAppeal #auspol
Folks, it's time to hit the streets with your pitchforks! When they vote to starve our kids, they've lost their relevance as human beings. #OnlyOneBranchOfGovernment #BigUglyBill #BillionaireTaxBreaks #MakeThemPay
Great name 👏. I've got a boy tabby, named Odie, who likes to lie like that too. It looks like the most uncomfortable position, but it seems to work for them. 😉
@aspca.org running ads on @msnbc.com tonight pleading *urgently* for 1,000 new donors at $19/month. Really? Maybe it's time to pay executive bonuses? Look at these ASPCA salaries to decide whether there's better ways of you looking after stray animals, than donating to them. #scam #charity
Is anyone else getting annoyed at the relentless fundraising ads by the ASPCA (@aspca.org) on cable channels like @msnbc.com? Yes, we all care about animals and should do all we can to help them, BUT, what if your donations are just funding obscene salaries at the charity? Look at this:
USGS now estimates that the damage in Myanmar will likely exceed the entire GDP of the country. They need a lot of help. Thailand estimates that the death toll between both countries will exceed 20,000. All of Bangkok is now a disaster area, as is all of Myanmar. We're all staying home! 🫣
#Bangkok #Thailand #Earthquake This is one of those days that you didn't want to be riding the BTS sky train in Bangkok.
#Earthquake #Bangkok #Myanmar Another view of the Chatuchak high-rise building collapsing in Bangkok. If you've ever been to the weekend market, you'll recognise the building in front as JJ Mall. News channels here reporting that 400 people were on-site when it collapsed. No fatality reports yet.
Details of a second quake in #Myanmar, very likely an after-shock from the original 7.7 magnitude. This one at the same depth but a few miles away to the south of Mandalay, 12 minutes later. #Earthquake #Thailand #Bangkok
#Thailand #Bangkok #Earthquake Another view of rooftop pool overflowing in Bangkok during the 7.7 magnitude earthquake which hit 17 miles from #Mandalay in #Myanmar at 1.26pm local time. Lasted about 3 minutes in NE Bangkok. A lot of damage in the city area.

@aljazeera.com @aljazeeraenglish.bsky.social Your weather "presenter" (he lacks talent), Jeff Harrington, just LIED in your name, saying that Cairo has some of the world's worst pollution. It's MODERATE, and not getting worse. He lies! Please, get rid of him and his "see ya later".
As far as I know, this is an actual document. To which I say, good luck with that! 😄
If this scammer tries to add you, I recommend just doing a Block and getting on with your life. Sadly, someone will probably engage with him and lose their shirt. @moderation.bsky.app, can you please take him down?
It's good to see that #Thailand has done such a great job at cleaning up the Winter air quality in #Bangkok - mainly caused by cars on the road, and smoke from slash and burn farming in neighboring countries. It's mask time again! 😷 #Pollution #PM2.5 #PM10 #WearAMask
