Thai fanbois go crazy for the new iPhone
Comrades, friends, fellow kids of all genders - It is Sunday yet again.
Back to the days of '97
Thailand's Baht hits 37 per U.S. dollar - highest since the bad old days of the 1997 'tom yam goong' recession and crisis.
Bank of Thailand admits it used US$19 billion-with-a-'b' to try to slow or reverse the fall of the currency. Secretly. On junta orders.

A man called Popcorn
[True story. No relation to the Giuseppe Bighden fairy tale]
As part of the election, pre-coup violence of 2014, there was a clash between would-be voters and the yellow-shirt Bangkok Shutdown gang in Laksi district of northern Bangkok
An obsessed anti-Yingluck man began shooting into the crowd with a rifle hidden inside a large bag of popcorn - and the story of The Popcorn Shooter was born.
Police tracked and arrested him, and elicited a confession. The judges gave Vivat Yodprasit to life in Khlong Prem, reduced to 33 years and four months, reduced to 20 years - and on Saturday he walked free after six years.
He killed one man and wounded three others.
Presumably there will be a movie. There should be.
Vivat was a hired gunman of the pro-coup Bangkok Shutdown gang, the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC).
A truly cynical skeptic would blurt that Thailand's junta has spotted The End and is handing out numerous rewards for those who helped during the past nine (9) years.
The Saturday toll of the novel coronavirus in Thailand:
764: The number of diagnosed new cases, all of them hospitalised.
14: The number of new deaths caused by Covid.
32,620: The number of Thais killed by Covid in the 1,027 pandemic days since he first death in November, 2019.
In addition to lack of Sepsis Awareness, I am also unaware that I am 3 days into Latino Heritage Month.
And I was unaware until now that the primary U.S. gridiron football league had ordered the installation of a yellow tilde.
I'm really behind the curve, eh?
I meañ, up uñtil today, the oñly thiñg I realized about Latiños and gridiroñ football was that Toñy (Añtoñio) Goñzales was the best football tight eñd in Americañ history.
Fanbois swarm for the new iPhone 14
Hype was intense on Friday for the launch of the pricey iPhone 14 lineup in Thailand, with fans flocking to stores, buoyed by Apple's promotion of the country to its first tier for new products.
Local pre-bookings for Apple's iconic smartphones indicated an overwhelming response.
Apple fanbois mobbed the brand's official stores at CentralWorld and Iconsiam on Friday morning to receive their pre-booked handsets as well as buy new devices.
For 30,000 baht, or so.

When you have a law against illegal fishing, what happens?
One guess only, per contestant.
Eleven (11) Thai officials charged over bribery in illegal fishing case
[Six immigration police and five officials working at marine border and disease control checkpoints]
They are charged with taking bribes to enable the release of five foreign fishing rawlers earlier confiscated for illegally fishing in Thai waters.

Just as quickly as they arrived, the Martha's Vineyard immigrants have been politely kicked off the island by the inclusive and tolerant rich white liberals.
THEY'S NOT OUR KIND, DEAR: Vámonos!

U.S.A. Liberals unable to decide whether Martha's Vineyard Is Good or Not.
"'We're in a housing crisis as we are on this island.' LOL!
"They really can't hear themselves. Illegal aliens were fine when it was 10,000 people roasting alive under a bridge in Texas, but insert a few dozen brown folks into a liberal enclave, and all the whiteys run around like headless chickens."

So much for declaring the island an enclave of “sanctuary cities” in 2017.

Probably true. Don't Cry for Me, CCP.
China is the Model for the Global Ruling Class. Excerpt:
“We've already highlighted the many, many problems with the Online Safety Bill in the U.K., which will be a massive attack on free speech, in that (among many other problems) it seeks to force websites to remove content even if it's 'lawful', meaning that they will massively overcensor.
"...This is exactly how the original Great Firewall of China began, with instructions from the government to remove 'harmful' content or face consequences. The reaction, of course, was to remove anything that the government might consider to be harmful.
"It should be no surprise, then, that some of the people backing the bill have literally cited China as an example of how this regulation can work."
