Thailand Postpones Start of Winter Season
On Monday, it snowed for the first time this fall in Southcentral Alaska. Do they declare it winter now, or should they wait for the official announcement out of Thailand? Will it be in the Gazette? I'm just asking for a friend. 🥴 -

Harris Separates Herself from Biden’s 'Garbage' Comment as Democratic Tensions Surface
Just days before Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris sought to distance herself from President Joe Biden’s remarks that seemingly branded Donald Trump’s supporters as “garbage.” The comment, which sparked a swift backlash, left some Democrats privately frustrated with Biden for igniting a political controversy at such a critical time. "Harris on Biden's "garbage" comment: "I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for..." Biden’s comment and the subsequent fallout have further fueled tensions within the Democratic Party, with some insiders expressing concern over the president’s remarks potentially alienating undecided voters at a crucial moment. In the final stretch of the campaign, Harris’s efforts to publicly distance herself from Biden’s words reflect a strategic move to mitigate any potential damage, reaffirming her commitment to serving all Americans without partisan bias.

Bangkok’s grey gamble: Elderly caught playing their cards wrong
It's absurd enough that the police waste their time with this stupidity, but absolutely ridiculous that they brag to the press about it and send high ranking officers to make the arrests. -

House Passes Bill Banning Physical Punishment of Children
In a significant legislative move, Thailand's House of Representatives today approved a draft bill aimed at prohibiting physical punishment of children. This comes as part of an effort to amend the Civil and Commercial Code to better protect children's rights. The special committee reviewing the bill had proposed changes to Section 3, explicitly stating that "abusive or violent actions must not be taken in punishing children to adjust their behaviour, nor should they be physically or mentally harmed or have improper action taken against them." Interestingly, the committee's minority disagreed with including the phrase "or be whipped," suggesting its removal. However, the House ultimately voted to uphold this minority view, leading to the revised text: "abusive or violent actions must not be taken in punishing children to adjust their behaviour, nor should they be physically or mentally harmed or improper action taken against them." This decisive vote saw 391 members in favour, with only one against, one abstention, and five not voting. The overwhelming support reflects a growing consensus on the need to move away from punitive disciplinary methods towards more constructive approaches. The amendment reflects modern views on child development and discipline, acknowledging the potential long-term harm of physical punishment. It also aligns with international standards and commitments to uphold children's rights. This legislative change is expected to have a broad impact, influencing how discipline is approached in homes and public institutions. Advocates for children's rights have welcomed the move, viewing it as a step forward in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all children. As the bill progresses through the legislative process, it will be closely monitored by interest groups and the public alike, marking a pivotal shift in the legal landscape concerning child welfare, reported Thai Newsroom.
