Putin's 'reluctance to demobilise' could cause downfall and be rapid end to Ukraine war
‘Keep Russia secure’? Lol. I mean, who was ever going to threaten it? It’s all bs so that ‘strong men’ be relative. Basically he wants them all to be killed. The bloke is a nutter, but there are many in his shyster government that think he’s a wimp. -

Thai alternatives to smoking cannabis?
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is my favorite. Nano-THC edibles. I use a syrup from Devour (the brand, search google for 'devour nano-thc syrup' to see). It comes on in 15 minutes, is strong by 30, and full blown by 45 minutes. It's much easier to dose too--couch lock is 1 teaspoon, less for a less intense experience of course. It's nice not stressing your lungs. -

Domestic Violence Surge Sparks Urgent Calls for Reform
Reference picture courtesy of releon8211 Domestic violence in Thailand has reached alarming levels, prompting activists to demand urgent legal action. With statistics showing nearly 15,000 individuals seeking hospital care annually for abuse-related injuries, experts argue that the existing legal framework is failing to protect victims effectively. Varaporn Chamsanit, from the Coalition Against Gender-Based Violence Thailand, notes that in 2023 alone, 1,086 cases were reported by the media. Disturbingly, 75% of these involved spousal assaults or murders. Unmarried couples aren't exempt from violence; almost half of reported cases involved firearms. The current legal system, critics argue, comes up short. The anti-domestic violence law, despite its intentions, is riddled with loopholes. Perpetrators often escape with minimal penalties, with a disproportionate focus on reconciliation, rather than justice for the victims. Abuse interpretable under the law allows offenders to slip through legal cracks, perpetuating a cycle of violence. A glaring issue is the lack of coordinated response among state agencies, leaving victims without the necessary support systems. Amendments proposed by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security aim to expand victims' protections but, according to advocates, still don't go far enough. Varaporn emphasises the coalition's demands for comprehensive legal reform. This includes closing loopholes and significantly enhancing protective measures. The call to action is clear: stronger laws and resources are crucial to combat the domestic violence epidemic in Thailand. Concerned citizens and advocacy groups persist in pressing the government. They argue that real change comes from addressing the problem's root causes, ensuring victim safety, and holding perpetrators accountable. As Thailand confronts this pressing issue, it's evident that more robust legal structures are not merely necessary but overdue. The lives affected by domestic violence deserve a system that guards their safety and dignity, fostering a society intolerant of such abuses. The advocacy community's message resonates powerfully: while numbers convey the scale of the crisis, each statistic represents a human life disrupted or lost. This realisation drives the relentless pursuit of justice and reform—a pursuit they implore the government to join earnestly. With the conversion, the fiscal implications of potential legislative changes must also be considered. Enhanced resources, both legal and financial, need prioritisation to ensure reforms translate to tangible protection for all victims. The call for change is urgent, and the path forward demands decisive action from those in power, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-03-10
