Columbia protester Mahmoud Khalil freed from ICE detention by federal judge
Khalil, a prominent leader in campus protests over the war in Gaza, was the first high-profile noncitizen activist to be detained as part of a crackdown on alleged antisemitism June 21, 2025 "Former Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil was freed from detention on Friday after a federal judge ordered his release, ruling that the government’s efforts to keep him in custody were highly unusual and potentially a form of punishment for his political views. Khalil was the first noncitizen activist to be arrested and detained by the Trump administration this year as it launched a crackdown on what it said was antisemitism on college campuses. ... The judge’s order to release Khalil on bail marks the latest setback for the Trump administration in its pledge to detain and deport what it has termed “pro-jihadist” students, with federal courts delivering a string of defeats to the government in recent weeks."

Unsettling Experience at 700 Years Stadium – Advice or Similar Encounters?
Just wanted to get some thoughts or advice from others here. I’ve been running at the 700 Years Stadium in for a while now, usually quite late at night. Last night was no different I finished my run around 10.30pm, tired, sat down on a bench near Gate 2 with my bottle of water and a couple of croissants. Bike parked nearby, same as always. During my run, I actually passed a policeman cycling around the stadium. He was friendly, said hello, and I replied in Thai that I was out exercising. Said something like "yes, very hot running." He smiled and rode on. So I know there is some police presence there at night, which makes this next bit even more confusing. Not long after, this Thai guy possibly Chinese Thai parked his own bike a bit further down the track, away from the main area. Then he walked straight up to me, sat uncomfortably close, and before I could react, suddenly hugged me. Full on, no words, just wrapped his arms around me. Completely out of nowhere. Instinctively I shoved him off. He got the message, went back to his bike, and rode off. I’ve seen all sorts of characters around that area, but never had something this strange happen before. I wasn’t shocked as much as just disgusted. I thought briefly about following him, but didn’t. No idea what he was on possibly drugs, not acting normal at all. Now I’m wondering what I should do. Should I have reported it to the police? Or to whoever manages the 700 Years Stadium area? Is it even worth reporting something like this? It’s hard to know whose responsibility it is. Would be genuinely helpful to hear from anyone who’s had a similar experience or has practical advice on how to deal with something like this. Ideally, something structured like: Is it worth informing the police even if the guy's long gone? There a security office at the stadium entrance, is it worth reporting? Are there better lit or safer times to run there? I usually run late because of the heat and it’s been fine up to now, but this really threw me off. Just trying to process it and figure out what to do next. -

Report Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
How's the chip on your shoulder? They are still accepting your home country license, you still skip the physical driving test. The only difference is you have to do the multiple choice test questions, that is it. Did you read the OP? Road rules and road signs are not identical to our home countries so what is wrong with learning them for a test before you drive here? It actually sounds sensible. Read the article before you display your massive paranoia. -

The average IQ in Thailand is 89
The Stanford-Binet intelligence test, developed by Lewis Terman in 1916, was based on the Binet-Simon scale, which was initially designed to identify children in need of special education. However, over time, the test was appropriated to reflect racist ideology. Terman and other early proponents of IQ testing were influenced by eugenics, which promoted the idea that intelligence was largely race based. During the early 20th century, the IQ test was used to justify the exclusion of immigrants from entering the U.S. These groups were labeled as "genetically inferior" based on their lower scores on the IQ test, even though the tests were culturally biased. The Stanford-Binet test creators explicitly warned clinicians not to use the tests as a sole determinant of intelligence or to make conclusions about an individual’s worth. They cautioned against using IQ scores to assess a person’s overall intellectual ability or their potential for success, recognizing that the test was limited and biased by cultural experiences. I could go on. -
