Report Thailand Recognises Poker and American Football as Official Sports
As for poker being a sport? I know some people are already rolling their eyes like, “How is poker a sport? You just sit there and play cards.” But let’s be real, if the only requirement for something to be a sport is physical movement, then we’d have to kick out stuff like chess, shooting, and even eSports. And yet all of those are widely recognized as legitimate competitive sports. Poker is a mental game, but it demands serious discipline, preparation, and endurance. Players study for hours, review hands, train their mindset, and sit for 10–16 hour sessions while staying focused and sharp the entire time. Try doing that deep in a tournament on Day 4 with real money on the line and see how “easy” it feels. It’s strategy, stamina, and skill all rolled into one, and just like other sports, the edge goes to those who put in the work. So yeah, poker absolutely deserves its spot among other recognized competitive activities. You don’t have to sweat buckets to be an athlete in every sense of the word. -

Thai - Cambodia clash escalates dramatically, atleast 12 dead.
This p***ing match between Thailand and Cambodia over Ta Muen Thom temple Buddhist Temple never ends: 🇹🇭 It's ours. Aggghhhhh! We kill you!!! 🇰🇭 No, it's ours. Aggghhhhh! We kill you!!! Who actually dies? Primarily civilians. Shelling freaking 7/11s ffs! Here's the primary problem: The vast majority of humans are genocidal, blood-lust filled, war-monkeys. That animal-like territorial instinct woven into the human genome. It takes a real effort (like being a Buddhist meditator) to overcome those innate, hardwired desires for what is yours and for what is not yours - but you want it, and my Buddha, you'll kill to get it. The utter absurity of it <head shake>. Not all people are genocidal, blood-lust filled, war-monkeys. There are really good people on this planet who want to see a total end of wars by all countries for all reasons they fabricate. Making weapons of war should be universally banned. But in quintessential human absurdity, how do you enforce a ban on weapons of war? By threatening the use of weapons of war. <Puts hand over eyes and shakes head> But reality. Almost all leader universally seem to be genetically wired to wage endless wars, and their populations of cud-chewing, low-intellect,unquestioning cannon-fodder are happy to step up as "patriots" and "die for their countries." Only problem being, they aren't - "dying for their countries. They are dying for some wealthy and powerful people's unending greed and bottomless desire to rule the lives of those whose countries they don't control and to steal as much of the natural resources and artifacts as possible. You know - like demanding that a Buddhist temple is - THEIRS! Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler sums it up succinctly, and as a US veteran who has been there and done that - I agree 100%. We all should be screaming for the global end to war - BUT - War IS A Racket. And the vast majority of humans are genocidal, blood-lust filled, war-monkeys. That's just sad as Hell. How do I know. What examples do I have? My "good," faith-filled, Thai Buddhist wife who never misses a chance to go to temple sits in front of her TV and exclaims, "Thailand kick Campucha (Cambodia) ass." I don't hold out a lot of faith for the continued existence of mankind on this planet. "It War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." – Smedley Butler, War Is a Racket, 1935. "A few profit – and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can't end it by disarmament conferences. You can't eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can't wipe it out b resolutions. It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war." – Smedley Butler, War Is a Racket, 1935. "I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers." – Smedley Butler, War Is a Racket, 1935. "In the World War, we used propaganda to make the boys accept conscription. They were made to feel ashamed if they didn't join the army." – Smedley Butler, War Is a Racket, 1935. "The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag." – Smedley Butler, speech, 1933. -

Report Harry & Meghan’s Netflix Deal Fizzles: No Renewal After 2025
If they were tax exempt and hadn't spent any money for the past 6 years that might be the case. Back in reality, they have massive outgoings for staff, PR, travel and security and desperately need an income, hence them starting the process of crawling back to Charles for a handout now they've been binned by Netflix. https://www.skynews.com.au/lifestyle/celebrity-life/prince-harry-meghan-markle-held-peace-talks-with-king-charles-aide-for-handouts-after-dead-netflix-deal/news-story/3b91a2f2282b7b6dc7d0984c2ef9727b My prediction? Broke within 2 years and then divorced shortly after. Harry back in England sitting in the naughty corner with the dunce's hat on. Meghan with the kids looking for an ageing Billionaire. Stamp it.
