UN Urges Southeast Asia to End Drug Criminalisation

This is good advice, it's very clear that the "War on Drugs" failed more than 40 years ago, and people are spending excessive amounts of time in prison for the use of recreational drugs, which is beyond ridiculous, and highly destructive to society and local economies.

Well having got our arse handed to us by a country with a 10 billion dollar defense budget we might think, Gee that 1.5 trillion defense budget is looking silly. Maybe we could drop it to 500 billion, which is still more than Russia and China combined, and do fun commie things with the 1 trillion windfall like healthcare, childcare and education.

Texas Approves Mandatory Bible Reading in Schools

Generative AI. Word for word, copy pasted. A distilled "opinion" drawn from the Guardian amongst others. He used a machine to think for him. Problem is, with comparing the Bible, in all its forms to the works of Shakespeare, William wrote everything he published. No one knows who wrote the bible. We know it wasn't one person. It was innumerable peoples, over centuries, chopping, changing, massage the script, Its basically an anthology compiled over centuries by dozens of authors, containing law codes, genealogies, ritual instructions, historical chronicles, letters, and religious teachings alongside passages of extraordinary poetry and narrative. It was not written for literary artistry. So consequently, bits of it, as literature, are . The original Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew versions have zero literary value in the modern word. Any impact comes from later English translations. The first go was by John Wycliffe and his followers, and he was frankly a nut job. William Tyndale took a stab at putting the New Testament into what was then modern English, but he put his own spin on things. Myles Coverdale took care of the filthier bits. The King James version was basically Bible by committee; a committee of 47. And like all committees, they would argue the toss between themselves. The Bible might be extremely influential, but from a literary point of view, its far from it. It lacks any narrative unity, huge junks are, frankly boring, especially the bits that go through genealogies, census records, citing architectural specs, describing in excruciating detail, religious regulations and setting tribal boundaries. It does little to develop characters, in the way Shakespeare did. It uses repetitious language, because that's the style of Hebrew, but in English "and it came to pass" become formulaic. People confuse its influence with literary value. Its not the yardstick to use to instruct people how to write prose. Saying that its just about spending a couple of days with some selected quotes will actually devalue the influence of the Bible, because those reviews of snippets will lack all context. Imagine thinking you understand Shakespeare you only considered the famous St Swithin’s Day speech from Henry V. It reduces the Bible to a series of memes. Obviously proponents of this idea don't want this, so they will push for compulsory religious education. When I was growing up, we went to Sunday School. That was the choice of the parents, not the school. I know for a fact that American churches also run sunday schools for kids. Why isn't this enough? The King James Bible as one of the most influential works in English literary culture than as an unequivocally great literary masterpiece on the same artistic grounds as Shakespeare's plays or the great novels and epics.

Sleep enough, drink enough water, eat reasonably well (no need to be too excessive/restrictive), avoid stress first and foremost. A couple of hours of exercise per week is just fine. (This works for me and I appreciate it may differ for others).

A professor of political science weighed in Monday on the latest controversy surrounding President Donald Trump and his family, one that involves allegations of corruption so blatant, the professor said, that a graphic outlining the alleged corruption bore resemblance to “an inbred family tree. Adam Bonica, a professor of political science at Stanford, noted the unprecedented simplicity of the alleged corruption scandal, writing on social media that the graphic created by the Times to illustrate the key players in the arrangement was unlike any similar graphic he’d seen before. “Usually these political corruption maps have complicated plumbing,” he wrote in a social media post on Bluesky, a comment that was flagged by Zeteo on Monday. “You know it’s bad when it’s just a closed loop that looks like an inbred family tree.” Trump family's new grift so corrupt its chart 'looks like an inbred family tree': expert

Chicago’s Trump Tower could soon be located on ‘Barack Hussein Obama Way’ if proposals to rename the street go through. Plans to name the road after the 44th US president were unveiled at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center last Wednesday. If passed, the proposal would even see an honorary street sign erected right outside Trump Tower, in a slap in the face for the White House incumbent, NBC Chicago reported. The tower is currently on North Wabash Avenue in the city’s Jackson Park district. More than 33,000 people signed a petition to rename the street, as a tribute to a figure ‘who stands for hope and change’. Trump Tower could soon be located on 'Barack Hussein Obama Way'

Geez louise. LOOK, in the United Kingdom - muslims make up 6% of the population. That's it. Yes in some cities you may see a larger percentage, and in other areas you will see a smaller percentage. For example in Sunderland Muslims only make up 0.4% of the population. Now what is it you do not understand ? SEE ... this is the type of person you have to argue with in Pattaya bars. Facts don't matter to them because they read things on the internet innit.

But to what end, though? He could be perfectly healthy with 15% body fat and 100 times less time and effort. So what is he doing it for? Probably for personal reasons and if he is happy, then great, but is he an example to follow? No. I wouldn't want to look like that, and I certainly don't want to spend hundreds of hours at the gym, I have much better things to do with my time and energy.

What a totally irrelevant and arrogant post. It can be 0.6% in some areas - that is fine if they are all legal immigrants. The issue is where the numbers, and density, are much higher. Brits only do that in Pattaya (which doesn't count) and those white enclaves do not even think about influencing, and eventually controlling, Thai culture.
