The Subtle Shift from Boyfriend to ‘Useful Assistant’ in Thailand
That reminds me of the time when I was young and had lots of posters on the wall. No, that is no original picture from my room. But you get the idea. -

Eight Stand Trial in France Over Beheading of Teacher Samuel Paty
The concept of 'freedom of expression' here seems to me both pragmatically wrong and wrong in principle. The daily reality is that everyone everywhere accepts a whole range of limits on their 'freedom of expression'. We don't walk down the street yelling obscenities at passers-by because we would be arrested & charged if we did. It's a form of verbal assault and is treated as such by the law in most countries. And if I carry a placard down the street accusing my next-door neighbour of assorted crimes, I can be prosecuted for defamation. And so on. This is perfectly normal. So on what reasonable basis did a French schoolteacher think it appropriate to show anti-Muslim caricatures to his class of children some or many of whom were Muslims? His action seems to me wrong in principle, quite apart from the obvious pragmatic aspect (the danger to himself he thus incurred, which in fact became his murder). Did he think it was his teacherly duty to insult some of his students and other members of the local community? Did he think that, as a teacher, he was released from all civic consciousness and caution in his actions? What was he hoping to achieve in a multicultural society where such matters are both sensitive and judicially and politically treated with kid gloves? -

Thailand Revamps Military Strategy to Voluntary Service and Perks
I knew a lot of the civilians working in Phu Bai and knew some of the DF guys, one of those on the c-47s came from my HS too and I chat with him occasionally. Also knew some of the Navy fliers of the Super Constellation. Since worked with DOD, I met quite a few guys from the VN era. Different world for sure. -

Trump is back! He has won.
He has nothing to lose sentencing Trump to five years. Trump goes to jail waiving, and in a week it’s overturned by the NY appellate court. He’ll be a hero to the left and daughter got rich off the phony case. Trump is not going after anyone. He didn’t last time, and he won’t this time. He might go after some of the J6 perjurers.
