It's a large "urban oasis" area in Bangkok, called Bang Krachao, encircled by the main river.

My wife no longer trusts me when we're on holiday and I tell her that a distance is easily walkable.

Does the expiration date on a cream for athlete's foot matter? This one expired 6 years ago. You think it still works?

Maybe Hegseth has a point. He went to Princeton, and look how he turned out.

You're a bit safer when you separate them with a comma like that. I think the really grievous version is like this now:

"He wasn't just a community champion.

He was a hero."

I sometimes worry that I inadvertently read so much AI-writing that I'll start writing like that. Maybe in itself a good reason to cut down on internet reading and read more pre-AI books.

Just started reading Mary Trump's 2020 "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man" and this quote hit hard.

I'm only just through the intro, but at just ~$7 for Kindle, I'll already recommend it.

"By the time this book is published, hundreds of thousands of American lives will have been sacrificed on the altar of Donald's hubris and willful ignorance. If he is afforded a second term, it would be the end of American democracy."

Every time I read something on this subject, I'm shocked by passages like this. How are these percentages so low? These visits should be down by 90 percent.

Don't allow this. Pete Hegseth is hiding in the boat and will sneak out and open the gates to Greenland at night.

Chlorine Dioxide, Raw Camel Milk: The FDA No Longer Warns Against These and Other Ineffective Autism Treatments The FDA has taken down a webpage warning about therapies and products making β€œfalse claims” of treating autism. It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy ...

For years, the FDA website warned of products and remedies claiming to treat autism that were being marketed deceptively and can be harmful.

Just a few:
β€’hyperbaric oxygen therapies
β€’chlorine dioxide
β€’raw camel milk.

Now, under RFK Jr, that advisory is gone.

A new Danish take on the traditional green Kaj Kage is the Kvaj(e) Kage (moron cake), which is orange and looks like Trump.

This cake isn't that funny without context, which I guess non-Danish don't have. Denmark has long had a Kaj Kage, which is made to look like the frog Kaj from the Kaj and Andrea puppet show. Kaj sounds a lot like Kvaj (moron), so the new version is orange and looks like Trump and is called Kvaj.

Trump news at a glance: White House rejects climate science and opens door to more pollution Administration revokes bedrock scientific determination that removes government’s ability to limit pollution from cars and trucks

Today, I writing about the environmental legacy of Nixon (the last criminal in the white house before this). He relied on a 1965 report stating clearly the impact of the greenhouse effect. Today, the current occupant trashes all of this - www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Cool. Thanks for that. 6 different jumps still doesn't seem like that much variation to me though. Is it too difficult to come up with other ways to jump or are there rules that say it has to be only these 6 or something? I've heard about the backflip, which is illegal to do.

But of course, as with anything, I suspect it's very nuanced if you understand it.

As someone who knows nothing about figure skating, I think it seems very repetitive. It looks like they're just doing the same spinny jump thing over and over again. It looks very hard, but I don't think it looks like there's much variation other than in how good they are at that jump.

They should have their own separate MAGA movies too. With star-studded cast line-ups such as Rob Schneider, Kevin Sorbo, and Roseanne Barr.

I'm hugely in favour of this thing where conservatives from now on have their own separate entertainment with only conservative artists.

Because watching them try to convince themselves and others that what they have is good is just quality entertainment for everyone.

Oh I just saw that Iron Lung was by Markiplier. Had no idea. Not that I know him well, but I know of him. Interesting.
