Report Israeli Tourist Busted for Selling Magic Mushrooms on Koh Samui
False. Worked in a hospital and two people I knew ended up in the ER at different times. You could argue they should have went to a psychiatric facility instead of the ER but they would have been evaluated medically first there anyway. They are safer than opiates and other hard drugs for sure. But there are definitely risks especially for those psychologically compromised, a condition commonly found in westerners in Thailand. I remember people laughing and giggling while chugging mushroom tea like it was a big joke and telling them your going to be very sorry in about three hours. And they were. Also see "Adverse experiences resulting in emergency medical treatment seeking following the use of magic mushrooms" "The most prevalent symptoms were psychological in nature, namely anxiety/panic and paranoia/suspiciousness. These are consistent with previous reports of the nature of adverse reactions to psilocybin and other psychedelics and have been discussed in depth elsewhere (Barrett et al., 2016; Van Amsterdam et al., 2011). However, a number of concerning physiological symptoms also occurred; passing out or going unconscious, difficulty breathing and seizures were reported by 37%, 32% and 26%, respectively. While difficulty breathing is commonly related to panic and anxiety, aetiology behind the two others is less clear. Rapid changes in blood pressure induced either directly by the drug or by psychological reactions, as well as dehydration or undernutrition are plausible triggers for losing consciousness under psilocybin" -

Trump’s Got Beef with Bruce and a Crush on Taylor
You seen what Trump’s barkin’ on about now? Gone off his nut over Bruce Springsteen of all people. Called him a dried out prune with “atrophied skin” like he’s the bloody manager of a Holland & Barrett gone rogue. Man’s triggered because The Boss told a Manchester crowd he’s a treasonous toe-rag runnin’ a rogue government. Which, let’s be honest, is about as controversial as sayin’ Wetherspoons does a ropey fry-up. So now Trump’s throwin’ his usual toys out the pram, callin’ Bruce “overrated,” “pushy,” “dumb as a rock,” and all that jazz. He even said Bruce should “KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back in the country” like he’s some kinda airport security officer at JFK with a grudge. Mate, he’s not runnin’ a border patrol, he’s just fumin’ ‘cos someone called him out and did it in a leather jacket while singin’ Born in The USA. And it weren’t just Bruce catchin’ strays. Out the blue, Trump took a potshot at Taylor Swift too, like he’s got beef with Spotify now. Said ever since he wrote “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” she’s “no longer hot.” That’s not politics, bruv, that’s what you hear from bitter blokes down the boozer after four pints and a rejection on Tinder. Next he’ll be claimin’ Adele’s album gave him IBS. Truth is, Trump’s not playing public servant, or even president anymore, he’s on a full-blown vendetta tour. If someone sells more tickets than him, sings in tune, or don’t fancy givin’ him a reacharound, they’re public enemy number one. And Bruce? He’s just the latest on the list of Americans who don’t fancy lettin’ a sun-dried fascist with a fake tan turn the country into a dictatorship wrapped in a MAGA hat. Fair play to The Boss, I say. Give the prune hell. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/may/16/donald-trump-attacks-bruce-springsteen -

Report Israeli Tourist Busted for Selling Magic Mushrooms on Koh Samui
Oh I forgot one thing. Remember that oil company that formed the foundation for Abramovich's wealth? He obtained it in a rigged auction and admitted to paying billions in bribes. The Chelsea owner made billions after buying an oil company from the Russian government in a rigged auction in 1995. Mr Abramovich paid around $250m (£190m) for Sibneft, before selling it back to the Russian government for $13bn in 2005. The Russian billionaire has already admitted in a UK court that he made corrupt payments to help get the Sibneft deal off the ground. He was being sued in London by his former business associate Boris Berezovsky in 2012. Mr Abramovich won the case, but he described in court how the original Sibneft auction was rigged in his favour and how he gave Mr Berezovsky $10m to pay off a Kremlin official. The document says that the Russian government was cheated out of $2.7bn in the Sibneft deal - a claim supported by a 1997 Russian parliamentary investigation. The document also says that the Russian authorities wanted to charge Mr Abramovich with fraud. It says: "The Dept. of Economic Crimes investigators came to the conclusion that if Abramovich could be brought to trial he would have faced accusations of fraud… by an organised criminal group." Mr Skuratov told the programme: "Basically, it was a fraudulent scheme, where those who took part in the privatisation formed one criminal group that allowed Abramovich and Berezovsky to trick the government and not pay the money that this company was really worth." The document also suggests Mr Abramovich was protected by former Russian President Boris Yeltsin. It says law enforcement files on Mr Abramovich were moved to the Kremlin and that an investigation by Mr Skuratov was stopped by the president. The document says: "Skuratov was preparing a criminal case for the confiscation of Sibneft on the basis of the investigation of its privatisation. The investigation was stopped by President Yeltsin … Skuratov was dismissed from his office." Mr Abramovich remained in the Kremlin inner circle when Vladimir Putin came to power in 2000. The document contains details of another rigged auction two years later, involving a Russian oil company called Slavneft. Mr Abramovich formed a partnership with another firm to buy Slavneft, but a rival Chinese company was planning to bid almost twice as much. Many powerful people - from the Kremlin to the Russian parliament - would have stood to lose out if the Chinese won the auction. The document says that a member of the Chinese delegation was kidnapped when they arrived in Moscow for the auction. "CNPC, Chinese company, a very strong competitor, had to withdraw from the auction after one of its representatives was kidnapped upon arrival at Moscow Airport and was released only after the company declared its withdrawal." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60736185 In short, there can be absolutely no doubt Abramovich is a criminal.
