FYI
By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.

This astonishing 10-hour time lapse still stirs the heart, but hits so different now, six years later.
This time-lapse video of the main march route on June 16, 2019 may give some idea of what 2 million protesters looks like. Marchers blanketed central Hong Kong Island for 10 hours-2 in 7 Hong Kongers. One of the biggest single-day single-location protests in modern world history.

So I picked up this phone charm resembling the tip of a cat’s tail and let’s just say it was not a phone charm.

Curious about Alan's work? I'm sure that he would not mind me linking to the demise of his very-much-unlamented nemesis here. This thread tells some of what Alan and @OiChutima revealed to the world.
It gives me great pleasure to announce the death of Lt General Manas Kongpan, disgraced and bereft in a Thai prison, the most evil man I have encountered in 30 years of journalism...

I'm sad to learn of the death of Alan Morison, one of the bravest journalists I've had the privilege of working with, as he exposed and stared down the Thai military over its genocidal actions against Rohingya refugees. Alan, you were one of the best.

The moment arrived. A wild Tasmanian wombat again within grasp. But in the end she chose respect, and after 15 years was at peace. I could not have been prouder.
So, my wife and I were conducting a Jan 1 review of our 20-yr relationship & I asked if there was anything abt me that made her angry, & she said yes actually, she was still mad at me for preventing her from patting a wild wombat we encountered on a hike in Tasmania 12 years ago

I would like for this to mean that Sia has three different children that are all named Somersault. I know this is not the reality. but there is so much I don’t like about this reality. would you really begrudge me the chance to build a new one? A better one? with 3 somersaults?
