She makes an argument that Israel as we know it may cease to exist. Jews are already a minority, Israel is losing settlers through emigration and not getting as many settlers as it once did.

Still no news about the three missing seamen

bannork · 9 hours ago9 hr

Chawarit Chaiwong The Thai cargo ship, Mayuree Naree, was rocked by explosions in the volatile Strait of Hormuz, leaving three crew members missing and sending terrified sailors scrambling for safety. Crew member “Samut,” speaking under a pseudonym for security reasons, said the attack struck without warning as the vessel sailed through one of the world’s most dangerous maritime chokepoints. “I just heard the loud bang,” he recalled. “There were two loud bangs, back to back, maybe two seconds a

Pros and Cons of Screen Obsession Culture in Thailand

123Stodg · Thursday at 10:03 PM1 day

For a long time I have thought about the ways Thailand has changed since the rise of smartphones, back when people were not constantly nose diving into their screens.
