Syrian government falls in stunning end to 50-year rule of Assad family
This interview with a former UK diplomat, who seems to be well informed on the background to the situation in the region, throws some light on how the recent blitzkrieg occurred. And likely complications that will be at play. Nothing is as simple as assumed. https://www.youtube.com/live/UX2X9KT9Xmg -

Thailand Birth Rate Nosedives: 81% Drop Surpasses Japan
When a young Bangkokian sees the real availability of a middle class lifestyle and then thinks "I could opt for that, or have kids and remain in relative poverty for the rest of my life", it's pretty much a no brainer.- 1

Badenoch Criticizes Starmer's McDonald’s Joke, Citing Double Standards
She has on a number of occasions demonstrated an inability to accept criticism or simply let it go. I actually think she’s a ‘glass cliff’ candidate for the job of Tory leader, she’ll remain in place until the Tories sort themselves out with a real leader with real policies. -

All the gold that Gaddafi had, or perhaps your MSM didn't cover that part in their propaganda illegal invasion war coverage. 3000-4000 tonnes, worth billions -

People who support Cashless Society
It’s remarkable how much can be inferred just from our internet activity, ATM use, travel patterns etc... From a broader perspective, there are alternative solutions like cryptocurrencies and crypto-cards, though these introduce an entirely separate debate - one centred on the degree to which governments might permit such decentralised systems (a separate discussion for another time). As the saying goes, when one door closes, another opens. Yet, transitions like these inevitably bring about a great deal of uncertainty - a challenge in itself, more so for some older folk perhaps (and once again a separate discussion for another time). Change, by its nature, is rarely welcomed. I fully understand the unease it brings, particularly when it raises legitimate concerns about privacy and surveillance. Your point about tracking is valid - it's a pressing issue, though, in many respects, facial recognition technology has already set a precedent for how little control we truly have in the near future. Payment systems, then, are but a small piece of this much larger issue. Thus, with that said, I’ve observed a significant amount of opposition to cashless payment systems in various discussions on this forum. Many of the arguments are poorly reasoned, often bordering on paranoid delusion. At times, they appear to mask deeper frustrations, perhaps resentment towards younger generations who are quick to embrace technologies like mobile payments, or even a broader distaste for the younger demographic itself. -

Did you not recently write that Jimmy Kimmel 'says it as it is' when referring to US political topics? -
