The biggest threat to Putin are his fellow Oligarchs. This is a major blow to his somewhat tenuous legitimacy in their eyes. The palace guard will be doing double duty from now on.

And that's what happens when Europeans or South Americans learn the importance of a decimal point, viz a viz a comma when separating whole numbers.

There is no such thing as a nonpartisan judge. And if an allegedly bipartisan agreement is ever reached between judges or politicians, it simply means that I'm scratching your back this time, next time is my turn - and just leave the brown envelope on the desk thank-you-very-much. The most corrupt are those that bleat the most about being incorruptible. Give me an honest burglar any day of the week. In every society, those that make, enforce, and adjudicate the law are the most corrupt. Just ask Tacitus.

I'm confused. It shouldn't be difficult to find every loan shark in the country. They frequently drive their scooters around doling out business cards to everyone they meet. Often they will just dump a few cards on the bar counters and walk away. I've seen them just drive down the Soi and throw a handful of cards in the air. Shotgun marketing. Many lamp posts also have their business cards stuck to them. The ones nabbed were probably not supporting their local constabulary with sufficient tea money.

Fortunate that her nickname was Opal, and not Porn or Rat.

It is undeniably bizarre that for no apparent reason, this guy was having a dip in the rooftop water tank of a condo. If somebody wanted to hide something of value, a rooftop water tank would be an ideal place to stash it.

This June 5 nonsense is all misinformation and clickbait. Here's a genuine Centrelink press release warning about it. Fake information about Centrelink payments - Managing your money - Services Australia Edit: for some reason, the above won't post as a link. Copy and paste to get the URL.

"Hermer defended Labour’s position, which he termed “progressive realism..." Now there's an oxymoron if ever there was. The very core of being progressive is that reality is subjective. Their version of reality is actually relativism, and objective truth does not exist. And when the muppets that make the decisions don't have a firm grip on reality, excrement happens.

To be fair, he makes Dylan Mulvaney look like a bloke. Oh wait...

Thanks to Jacinda Hardon, New Zealand is probably at least as dystopic as Canada and Australia. Long live the Commonwealth.

Gosh, is it that time of year already? Queue the honest taxi driver next.

Eventually Wikipedia will include Covid on the list of Mass Hysteria, along with 15th century witch trials, War of the Worlds, and the daycare sex abuse hysteria of the 80's. But don't hold your breath.

When I've had too much of the devil drink, it never occurs to me that it would be a good idea with absolutely no consequences, to lob a brick through a window. I think there's something wrong with me.

If ever there was an idea that screamed "this will end very badly for humanity", artificial intelligence has to be at the top of the list.

Child abuse?

I never understood the reasoning behind allowing a government department to decide if and when you receive medical attention, or whether you live or die. There are just some things that an individual should fiscally take care of themselves.

A Monaco style format would go down well in Pattaya. The streets are just made for it.

I wonder what would happen if you placed in the hands of the average human being, a device capable of accessing every piece of literature ever written, every piece of music ever composed, every piece of scientific knowledge known to man (with the possible exception of what hotdogs are made from), and the potential to extend your knowledge and wisdom far beyond that of the world's hitherto greatest philosophers and scientists? Oh yeah - Onlyfans and Tik Tok. Sorted.

Trump is well aware that the ultimate weapon of the Marxist Left is accusations and convictions for "wrongthink". If you can be jailed for wrongthink, you can be jailed for anything or everything. Just ask the KGB.

Why did Macron need confirmation that his globalist policy objectives have been achieved? He just had to look out the window.

I wonder who is next on Trump's list of world leaders to get told their pedigree rather than getting their pocket pi**ed in. Zelensky got what he deserved, as did Mr. Ramaphosa. Starmer got off very lightly and was probably thanking the Gods all the way to the airport.

The whole world knew that Biden was non compus mentis and incapable of opening a box of breakfast cereal. Calling the de facto interim rulers a Politburo is an injustice to Socialism. More like Orwel's Inner Party.

I don't understand how a woman with the IQ of a retarded donkey and a personality as deep as a shallow puddle is able to "engage(d) in deep introspection". CNN have done a bang-up job in this article though. You could plausibly believe they were discussing the political future of a genuine politician, and not a sock puppet.

What was so dodgy about the bricks that they needed protection from the rain?

This displays Price's Square Root Law in action. The square root of the population will hold 50% of the wealth. And if you drilled down to that population, the square root of that number will hold 50% of the combined wealth. And if you drilled down again....get the picture? This can never be changed, barring major social intervention a la Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Starmer etc. Ironically, the wealthier you make the poor, the wealthy become exponentially wealthier.
