Trump's most ardent supporters are in revolt
I feel that at this point in time The Laptop has transcended the limitations of a mere physical object and has, for the mentally less astute, become a mythical object, to which some have ascribed supernatural attributes. It is said that if you pray to it, it can cure cancer, although for now at least stupidity seems to be beyond its abilities to cure. -

Report Phuket Beaches on Alert as Venomous Sea Creatures Wash Ashore
Picture courtesy of Britannica Phuket's Kata Noi Beach is under watch after venomous sea critters, including the notorious Portuguese man o’ war, appeared on shore. Known locally as the “floating terror,” this creature is not to be trifled with. The Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) sounded the alarm after lifeguards alerted them on 15 July. The Andaman Sea and Coastal Resources Research Center confirmed the presence of several hazardous species, sparking concerns. Among the newcomers are the Portuguese man o’ war, deceptively resembling jellyfish but actually siphonophores armed with a painful sting. Despite their small size—just one to two centimetres—their sting can cause serious discomfort. The spectacle doesn’t end there. Blue sea dragons, or Glaucilla sp., often mistaken for harmless visitors, also washed ashore. These electric-blue creatures carry venom borrowed from jellyfish, delivering a nasty zap to swimmers. Keeping them company are less dangerous, yet still pesky, blue button jellyfish and by-the-wind sailors (Velella velella), which can irritate the skin upon contact. Experts attribute this aquatic invasion to recent turbulent seas. Strong winds and waves, reaching heights of two metres, likely pushed these creatures to shore. Over at Karon Beach, similar sightings continue, keeping lifeguards busy monitoring and recording any unfortunate encounters. To prevent mishaps, monitoring teams are in action, armed with first-aid leaflets advising victims of stings to rinse with vinegar while avoiding freshwater or rubbing the area. DMCR officials warn, “Seek medical help immediately if stung.” With jellyfish blooms often stirred by seasonal shifts and warming waters, further incidents are anticipated. Tourists heading to Kata, Karon, and neighbouring beaches should heed warnings: check beach flags and consult with lifeguards before entering the water. Authorities are urging all beachgoers to give any mysterious marine life a wide berth, both on the sands and in shallow waters. Precautions are being amplified. Warning signs are sprouting up, lifeguards are ever vigilant, and safety advice is circulating across local channels, involving tourists, locals, and beachside businesses. As the situation evolves, officials emphasise staying informed and cautious. Beach visits in Phuket currently demand a blend of curiosity and care—look, but don’t touch, to ensure a safe seaside experience. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-17 -
