Told To Tone It Down, Media Will Shoulder Losses For Royal Funeral

By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter

Mourners make their way inside the Grand Palace on Jan. 10 to pay their respects to His Majesty the Late King Bhumibol in Bangkok.

BANGKOK — Instead of airing a dramatic tale of tragic romance among ancient northern royals three nights a week, Channel 3 is broadcasting “Rak Nakara” every night to rush it to completion by Oct. 3.

There will be no entertainment and a lot less advertising online and over the airwaves next month as websites and broadcasts go monochrome and things are toned down on all platforms to show respect for His Majesty, the late King Bhumibol.

Abridged from source. Source in title. You may not sympathise with the Elbit four’s methods.

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school - England World Cup

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education. I wonder if these are the same kids the rightwing pearl clutchers insist are being discriminated against in schools? https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/jul/06/thousands-of-children-absent-from-school-in-wake-of-overnight-england-world-cup-win

And most unfortunately as is the case with many of his policies, his own supporters suffered the most. He is likely the most corrupt president in American history by 300 fold. And many of his supporters don't even seem to care as they have become numb to his misdeeds, and still believe his lies. A large chunk of the $2 billion haul President Trump took in last
