‘X’ removed after being installed atop company headquarters following Twitter’s rebrand
My Samsung phone just had three X icons appear on the notification bar at the top of the screen. Trying to explain to her indoors that I don't get porn notifications...

So 60% still comes from abroad? What is stopping the majority of materials sourced in Thailand?

Prawit quits as leader of Palang Pracharath, is renominated, reassumes the post
Meet Prawit once. He wheezed and couldn't walk without help. I don't think much of his chances.

Democrats In Talks With Thaksin But Not Part Of Coalition Yet
Why hasn't Thaksin been arrested n Hong Kong? Perhaps no one takes Thai jurisprudence seriously?

Singapore to execute woman on drugs charge for the first time in 20 years
The death penalty is supposed to be a deterrent. How can it be called that if people are caught and executed regularly? Don't tell me there would be more smugglers if not for the death penalty. There is no evidence to prove it. Why isn't more effort made to help turn people off drug taking? Aren't they the reason for smuggling?

Ron DeSantis suggests he would pardon Trump on any federal charges
I doubt Trump would pardon a competitor for the presidency. If Trump is convicted, he should do the time.

Has Thailand got a Moral Backbone.
And in exactly the same words does America rail against communism and socialism. The number of countries America (for instance) has invaded because it didn't like their politics goes on and on. No offence but you don't seem to appreciate the desire of Thailand to maintain good relations with ALL sides. Perhaps examine why the Pentagon has no wish for America to acceed to the international court of justice.

It seems like a gentlemanly misunderstanding. Anutin has an interesting taste in cars.

Opinion: Tony Woodsome and the (not so) secret deal
I would be surprised if he got a royal pardon as they are usually given to those who have at least spent some time in prison. Could happen as a special case I suppose. More likely home detention would be easier to accomplish for a white-collar crime.

Has Thailand got a Moral Backbone.
I don't see a goodwill or trade visit by Russian as making Thailand anti-western or immoral suddenly. Mai Lai, anyone? Most people are unaware that Thailand joined the non-aligned movement in 1993. After the United Nations, it is the largest grouping of states (120) worldwide. Membership requires NOT being aligned with or against any major power bloc. It is a way of balancing the polarization of regions. Thailand is a small country, economically and politically, that does not want all its eggs in one basket. Don't forget, it has been more reliant (regrettably, I feel) on foreign tourists from China and Russia, both enemies of the west, or so I am told. Nevertheless, European and American tourists are also welcome. It is their country, and the attitude of my enemy should be Thailand's enemy doesn't make sense for them.

Increase of entrance fees for foreigners visiting Thailand's 72 historical sites and museums
The answer is simple. Just stop visiting places with double pricing until they lose enough money to reconsider. Just don't visit parks and museums if you can't afford them or feel cheated.

Pedo children’s entertainer sentenced to 30 years for sex crimes against kids in UK, Thailand
British prisons are notoriously hard on child molesters. The inmates don't take such things lightly and he can expect a regular beating.

UFOs: Is the government hiding something?
I find it hard to understand why people believe in alien visits. Yes, there are probably aliens living on other worlds but how they fly here and elsewhere without breaking the speed of light is anyone's guess.

Inside McCarthy’s sudden warming to a Biden impeachment inquiry
Talk is cheap. If there is any real evidence I am sure they would have gone for impeachment by now.
