Back to the real news.

A sea lion in Argentina climbed onto a fishing vessel, found a bed, and passed out.

The fishermen only realized it when they heard loud snoring.

Guess they've got a new deckhand.

@imetatronink The most overrated +hated general of World War II+Korea is surely MacArthur. My father-in-law was at the Chosin Reservoir, absolutely hated him, said everyone did. The invasion of Luzon made no sense and seems ego-driven. Then there was the Bonus Army (Mac and Patton)

US military-intelligence leaks to media are designed to dissuade Trump from escalating his war (we’re out of missiles & interceptors, Iran isn’t; Iran won’t break, etc). Whereas Israeli intel leaks to media are designed to rile Trump into escalating the war by calling him a pussy

@ThaiEnquirer 'The motive for the attack remains unclear.' Take a wild guess. We can probably rule out a drunken argument over a card game or the ranger getting fresh with Mrs. Tiger.

@jessica0917 @mtaibbi Don’t think it is the Iranians with the greater need to replenish their ammunition.

@Roach_BKK I want to know which among these gentlemen, Thai or farang, is engaging 'in conduct considered "deviant" or inconsistent with Thai social norms'.

@AndrewZywiecMD Before smartphones. Cellphones made telephony affordable in many places where landline installation was too expensive for many or most people.

@jacobincambodia Phew, good thing Kampot is scam-free now!

@CaptWrecked Ah, Remdesivir- too dangerous for Ebola patients, but why not try on patients infected with the deadly novel coronavirus?

@pureguava10300 Hang on, this isn't "Scambodia"?

[Begemot @robuzo]

@jacobincambodia That’s a Burmese, retics have white spots and bright orange eyes. I watched this retic fall out of the ceiling in the bar next to me on Sukh 20 in Bangkok. It was being beaten to death with a broom by an angry Thai female, and having been there myself I felt obliged to help.

@fotojourn So, Cambodia is safe for 20 yo girls on the first trip away from home, but it scares you? OK.

[Begemot @robuzo]

@fotojourn Sorry, you seem upset. Did someone force her leave? It wasn’t me. Twat.

@newstart_2024 There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

They are reconfiguring under pressure. They think it will work. They think the timing of their backpedaling seems natural, not forced on them by recent revelations. They have gotten away with this for years and think they always will. They believe they have reality on a leash.

@RedWavePress It’s like that time you grabbed a couple of snakes minding their own business on your friend’s porch. Stop manhandling dumb animals, Mr. Secretary!

@humpkin_galileo @matthewstoller We slaughtered their children and bombed their infrastructure- war crimes, but that sort of doesn’t bother you, does it? Stick to your Temu Jeffrey Epstein grift.

@ChrisWest630 @Roach_BKK How so? Jim Thompson House is managed under the auspices of Princess Sirindorn; no dual pricing there.
I think the issue is that attractions like this park are concessions seeking a profit. If management can get away with gouging a segment of the clientele 5X, they will do so.
