Old age has a few benefits. I don’t know any of these politicians, celebrities, stars and influencers. Some of them are easily walking corpses.  I’m not about to be influenced. I’ll enjoy their movies &amp; TV series when they’re worth watching.  Don’t watch YouTube videos. I appreciate the effort some people have put into their content but, seriously, put it in writing—don’t want to have to look at your talking head for an hour.  Same with podcasts. Some look really thoughtful but life’s too short at this end of the telescope. I’d rather read about it!  I sit in the elderly seats—the veterans’ seats at the 4th—and use my senior BTS with great abandon.

West Bank: The colonist mentality  The Settler Keeps Alive in the Native an Anger Which he Deprives of Outlet A look at Frantz Fanon's clinical understanding and treatment of colonised peoples who were denied their own anger to the point of pathology Zahra The Mazaj: 31 Dec 2025  Fanon once wrote that &#x201C;The settler keeps alive in the native an anger which he deprives of outlet.&#x201D; It wasn&#x2019;t a metaphorical notion but his clinical observation. He was describing what occurs when a biologically grounded and socially necessary human capacity (defensive anger) is deliberately provoked and then structurally immobilised. To enrage, and then to seal off every avenue through which that rage might find form, release, or meaning. Nowhere can this be seen more plainly at the present moment than in, and in relation to, Gaza.  Under colonialism, anger is neither resolved or allowed expression; it exists in a state of chronic suspension. Interestingly, the coloniser often does not even attempt to eliminate anger in the colonised. In fact, the colonised person&#x2019;s anger becomes narratively useful to the settler. Its distorted expressions are captured as confirmation of the settler&#x2019;s own mythology: that the native is irrational, savage, barbaric and in need of discipline, correction, or eradication. What colonial domination first produces, it then points to as justification. It cultivates the rage while ensuring it cannot fulfil its defensive role. The native is humiliated, expropriated, surveilled, beaten, and insulted, but any attempt to respond is labelled criminal. It is astonishing to me how plainly the early European colonisers of Palestine, for example, acknowledged this as a matter of fact.  David Ben Gurion (1886-1973) was the primary founder and first prime minister of the State of Israel  The settler produces the stimulus for anger while monopolising all legitimate means of acting upon it. Strikes and assemblies are banned; legal redress is blocked through military courts and administrative detention; peaceful marches are banned with military force; and then, when resistance turns violent after every civil avenue has been sealed, that violence is invoked as proof that repression was necessary all along. Negotiation with these people is obviously futile because they are born and raised &#x2018;terrorists&#x2019; and &#x2018;fanatics&#x2019;. It is a methodological and refined cruelty. Anger is allowed to exist only as affect, never as force.  What kind of human response would we call sane if not anger? If not blinding rage?</description><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 11:26:33 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>UK Rape Gangs - As Bad as The Epstein Case?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397154-uk-rape-gangs-as-bad-as-the-epstein-case/?do=findComment&comment=20562058]]></link><description>This is 9 Hours. No way I have time to watch this.  But Rupert Lowe is suggesting the rape gangs were "groomed" ?  High officials in UK govt are in on it? That's what I'm getting from this. So he will name names soon?  Rupert Lowe has unveiled a 200-page report examining the causes and institutional failures surrounding Britain's grooming gangs scandal. Speaking after a 16-month investigation, Lowe accused the political establishment, police, local authorities, social services, the NHS, judiciary and media of failing victims for decades. He praised survivors and experts who contributed evidence, while promising further action, including potential private prosecutions and efforts to hold those responsible accountable. Lowe argued that previous inquiries have failed to deliver justice and warned against allowing the issue to be delayed or forgotten. The report, funded by public donations, seeks to examine how the scandal developed and why authorities repeatedly failed to intervene.</description><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 11:25:50 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Worst Joke Ever 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1071616-worst-joke-ever-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20562057]]></link><description/><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/main-qimg-4c220c877df7e4911e268168a13b897b.jpg.d5faa883f1f811af9ec00454449e0f12.jpg" length="48580" type="image/jpeg"/><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 11:25:21 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Building Collapse Traps People at Bangkok Junction</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397152-building-collapse-traps-people-at-bangkok-junction/?do=findComment&comment=20562056]]></link><description>UPDATE Bangkok Building Collapse Kills 1 Near Wat Traimit  Picture courtesy of Khaosod  A two-storey building collapse near Wat Traimit Worawihan on Rama IV Road in Bangkok has left one person dead, after emergency teams confirmed the victim was trapped under debris and later recovered from the scene.  The incident occurred on 20 June 2026 at Mor Mee Junction in the Samphanthawong area, where part of a building structure, described as a second-floor canopy, gave way and fell onto the roadway below. Falling debris landed on the street and caused damage to several vehicles passing through the area at the time.  Initial reports from the scene indicated that people were trapped under the collapsed structure, prompting an urgent response from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration&#x2019;s Samphanthawong District Office and related rescue teams. Emergency workers secured the area and began searching through the rubble for survivors.  Authorities later confirmed that one person had died as a result of the collapse. The body was recovered from the debris by rescue personnel and was pronounced dead at the scene, despite CPR attempts by emergency responders. The body was subsequently removed from the site for transfer to hospital. Officials have not yet released further details regarding the identity of the deceased.  Khaosod reported that investigators are expected to examine the structural integrity of the building and determine the cause of the failure, including whether maintenance issues or construction defects played a role. The area remains under observation as officials assess any further risks to nearby structures.
