UK Government to Convene Emergency Cobra Meeting After Surge of Far-Right Violence
After non-white English, are Australians in danger too? Oh those paranoid fascists are just so funny. I want to go to the Maldives for holiday. Please do not buy economy class tickets! -

British Man, 27, Vanishes in Thailand Before Flight Home
I guess there will be answers when/if police check his backgound. For example, is he a frequent visitor to Thailand, what did he talk to his girlfriend about, does he have Thai connections, what is his social media history etc. etc. -

Apple Withdraws Ad Amid Thai Backlash, Extends Apology
The thread has made me realize that bigotry alters the occipital lobe in brain controlling vision. Therefore, many, such as yourself, see Thailand in sepia tones, as in Apple's ad, so sepia tone is just a fact. And facts are facts. There's much more, such as the magic eraser effect. Here, it's dramatically applied to our bigots' perceptions of Suvarnabhumi Airport. Despite their having traveled through there multiple times, their brain cells have erased all its international modernity, leaving them believing it looks like old unused area at Don Muang just as in the ad. Fact. Actually, to those of us with unaltered occipital lobes, Suvarnabhumi Airport looks like it does in this more realistic, far more effective ad for Google's Pixel 7 & 7 Pro, though you may also see this in sepia tones and magically erase the vast difference. Plenty of local color, tuk-tuks, buses as tourist use--but Thais not denigrated but portrayed and treated respectfully, emphasis on the phones themselves with realistic demonstration of their impressive capabilities. You see, that ad is aimed at the Japanese market, not Western bigots enjoying feeling superior as their ignorant, negative stereotypes are reinforced and impaired vision validated. It's sepia-toned. Fact. As noted, bigotry is incurable and can only be countered with force. Chinese know that. Thais threatened a boycott and forced Apple to withdraw that negative, outdated, unrealistic portrayal. Good on 'em. -

Massive migrant fraud , 2 months before early voting
There is no Czar. Latino Alejandro Mayorkas is Secretary of Homeland Security while Harris is VPOTUS. Their authority and responsibility do not coincide. But I can understand that people such as MAGAnites who think in terms of "fascism" and "communism" gravitate towards the slavic term "czar" or the Russian "tsar." -

Be careful lying on the massage tables in Thailand. Easy to catch infection.
My friend visited Thailand earlier this year and frequented opted going to get an oil massage full body. After 3 weeks here he had a terrible sore on his thigh that looked exactly like the one in the photo of this website. https://worldofbuzz.com/20-people-suffer-contagious-bacterial-infection-after-visiting-massage-parlour-in-kuchai-lama/?fbclid=IwY2xjawEeoWFleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHeDwZfD0zE574XQTtVxDkOWDWHWANNA4Xh7gTxvVMizJ9Iv8V_oeQJpwAQ_aem_IcLgFiWoiTqKud_9m6-xeA Last year I had one on my butt as well. I was on antibiotics and had to pay 5k at a hospital to get it cut out. It was awful to say the least. Since then before starting the massage I ask for 3 towels. I check if they are fresh and clean. If so I lay 2 of them on the table and lie on that. 1 for the shower at the end. If the towels are not clean I depart and find a new venue. Its gross to think what one can catch in these places where the girls do not change the cloth on the table at all. Maybe at the end of each day. YUCK>>>>> -

British Man, 27, Vanishes in Thailand Before Flight Home
Brits these days are not allowed to become adults - perpetual children looked after by their "nanny state", many have absolutely no idea about how to keep themselves safe outside the UK. -

Brutal assault on Canadian raises serious questions about tourist safety in Pattaya
Just going by the information in the article and no further research, I would say it sounds like he leaned on a car, someone said get off, and he gave them an attitude and decided it would be a good idea to throw down. 15 guys show up, bang he hits his head, and we have a news story. I don't see how one can draw conclusions about the entire city from this. I will say that on a recent visit I did encounter a group of young Thai men that made me feel kind of threatened. That is the first time I ever had that feeling in Thailand. -

Nancy Pelosi About Traumatic Attack on Her Husband and Offers Advice to Kamala Harris
Like this one from flipper Trump, though he's not from an oil company? “I am for electric cars," Trump told supporters in Atlanta over the weekend. "I have to because Elon Musk endorsed me very strongly, Elon. So, I have no choice.” This comment stands in stark contrast to past rants that saw him rave against the vehicles in speeches involving boats and sharks and confusing batteries with solar power. Trump admits to campaign 'quid pro quo' with billionaire: report (msn.com)- 1

SSA Form 7162 Time Again
Mine was EMS (popped for the 1,550 because I was cutting it close). Mailed at a small station in Bangkok. Was "Processed Through USPS Facility ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS)" then on to "USPS Regional Facility JAMAICA NY INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER" the same day. My one-line summary is from the e-mail they sent me, but pretty identical to the USPS tracking site.- 1
