He is such a DICK

Belarus says no potash left after Trump claims massive deal for fertilizer Belarus’s authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko said Monday that there are no available volumes of fertilizer to send to the U.S. This came after President Trump announced that he was working on a “massive Deal” to buy potash from Minsk at a steep discount amid the trade war with Canada. “Even if we wanted to supply [potash] to other, Western markets, we simply do not have those volumes — everything is contracted,” Lukashenko said in remarks published by his office on monday More Trump Lies

Way beyond a meme but well worth a watch. Avalanches 👍

Sir, there is a lot I could comment but I don´t to avoid possible heart attacks within the group of their supporters who might be reading it. I am anything else but an AFD-man but even though I did really pray that they win the election by an overwhelming majority. Soon they will face what real life is like and looking at the people in charge the US congress in comparison is a selection of innocent Mother Theresas. Nuff said, we shall see what happens. The far rightwing folks do not need much time to show their customers what they are really like if we look at our beloved Donald and his cronies or Hungary where they have virtually been blown away. I could mention others. Anyway, democratic elections have to be respected, point is to keep the voters on board.

Sounds like a serious threat

Let's hope her "unique perspective" is outing Trump Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has landed her next gig at Fox News. One of the most prominent faces of President Donald Trump's second administration, Ms Leavitt will serve as an on-air contributor in November, the network said. "Karoline's firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of today's political landscape," said the network's CEO, Suzanne Scott. Ms Leavitt said she would bring a "unique perspective" from her time as press secretary, "along with the same energy and candour that defined my tenure".

This has to be satire but even so it wouldn’t surprise me

I saw this one, very interesting how it came down to someone with a Philadelphia accent ultimately leading to his arrest. He had apparently bee part of the CIA MK Ultra project at some point.

Man enters cannabis plant in tomato category at Ulladulla, New South Wales garden competition Council is investigating after an 83-year-old Ulladulla man entered a cannabis plant in the tomato category at the town’s garden competition. Judges made the discovery only after awarding it first prize. Panellist Marjorie Budd said the panel was so taken by its lush foliage and rich aroma that nobody asked where the tomatoes were. The judges were later seen in a car that one young attendee described as “a hotbox” on wheels. — in Ulladulla, NSW.

I’m going to pull myself together once more and try to tell you about a few experiences – some little adventures. Let’s see... I’ll be in Krung Thep from 18 November, and then it all kicks off.

You realize you have just sent a certain board member down a rabbit hole 😊

America has Nene Royal fever! America’s Got Talent TV show, gave platform to this 16 year old girl from Phuket and she is fast becoming America’s heart throb! No links, but you can google her up. We will find out in a few hours if she will win the $1 million top prize.

Gentlemen, after watching President Trump of the United States over the last couple of days I do not think he will survive the next almost 2,5 years of his presidency. The man is exhausted and thinks he can impress the world by just talking about his greatness. Which he has been doing all the time but people are getting tired.

A few details: Arrival – probably, and hopefully, 55555 – on 18 November 2026 in Krung Thep Suvarnbhummi. I’ll then stay in Bangkok for a few days – I’m really keen to revisit some of the sights and take some new photos with my camera; for example, the Reclining Buddha at Wat Po, the 30-metre-high Buddha at Wat Indraviharn and a few others. I’ll be writing travel reports, which I’ll send by email to my family, friends and acquaintances, as well as to anyone interested in travelling to Siam, Laos, Vietnam etc. in the near future. On my sightseeing trips, one of my Thai friends – or one of their adult children – will accompany me. As a 77-year-old with a severe walking disability (paralysis of the right side of my body following a stroke), it’s better to have a companion and someone to look after me by my side. In Bangkok, I’ll either head to Soi Welcome in Jomtien or to my beach near Chumphon. I’ve known this beach since 1995 (!!!) and always spend relaxing days there. I also have a number of local friends and am already looking forward to seeing them again. Here is my younger brother on my beach – December 1995.

White House Launches 24/7 “Trump TV” Amid Escalating Fight With Major US News Outlets The White House has launched a 24-hour streaming platform called “TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station”, just days after President Donald Trump barred three major news organizations from White House access, intensifying a legal and political confrontation over press freedom in the United States. Fascism 101 The White House debut of Trump TV, launched amid the administration's feud with the mainstream media, was widely mocked online and compared to state-run television in North Korea and China State TV

Yeah I read that as well. He's claiming a deal that's been in place for 75 years

I don't think it's real, I saw a guy with a swatch at the 1650 mark...

Had no idea they had time-lapse cameras back in 1600. Thais kept that one quiet didn't they.

Trump dies and gets buried at Mara Lago. A guy goes to the airport in New York and tells the ticket agent “give me a ticket to Florida, I want to go piss on trump’s grave.” The ticket agent says “then you’ll want a ticket to Los Angeles…” the guy says “why?” The agent says “because that is where the end of the line is…”

Well fuck all, I just won’t die…

A film documenting Israel’s use of AI-powered systems to target Palestinians in Gaza has received a 25-minute standing ovation at its premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The 80-minute film, NAZA, was directed by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, who won an Oscar in 2025 for No Other Land, a documentary on Israeli settler pogroms in the occupied West Bank, made with Palestinian co-directors Basel Adra and Hamdan Ballal. The result of a nearly three-year investigation, the film is built on testimony from Israeli military and intelligence sources who spoke on the condition that their identities be concealed. Their voices and faces were digitally altered, and they were filmed at night on Tel Aviv rooftops. “We are letting the soldiers and the officers speak about what they did,” Abraham told the AFP news agency. “The goal was very simple: we wanted to hear, in as much detail as possible, how the systems of killing in Gaza looked, how they operated,” he added. The film’s title is a Hebrew intelligence euphemism used to indicate the number of civilians expected to be killed in a given air strike. Interviewees describe an AI-assisted system known as “Lavender”, which drew on Gaza’s monitored telecommunications network – phone calls, movements and interactions – to identify assassination targets. “It was done on a mass scale, like a factory,” one interviewee says in the film, while another involved in identifying targets says the process is “like a video game, because everything is done remotely” and is “insanely fun”.

Gentlemen, spent yesterday at a major exhibition in Frankfurt where I also met my Chinese supplierfriends. Automotive spare parts. Asked some of them how the business with the USA has developed since Donald´s tariff-orgies. Friend 1 : Almost no difference due to almost nobody in USA still produces his kind of parts, tariffs can be absorbed by increasing prices of items that are very low in price anyway ex works China. Friend 2: Opened factory in Thailand which is suffering less from the tariffs. Person showed me impressive pictures of KI-based type. Knowing the Chinese I bet there is nothing but a panel at some wall in Bangkok and an email-address. Over to you.

Did Melania has forget to bleach her arsehole?

I’ll post this in sports as well…

I prefer line, however, here in the US of A, line is being very difficult. Wife’s Thai phone took a dump and line will not reboot because we are outside of Thailand…I can’t add my mother in Law’s number because “The region you are in does not recognize blah blah…” While I hate Dork Suckaturd and meta, what’s app is tied to a group at work that allows be to take time off whenever I want…so…

What to know about your kids using AI chatbots and companions Just a note, Australia's Social media bans come into effect in a few months. The eSafety Commissioner has warned about generative AI and the potential risks to children and young people. (Adobe Stock) Technology is constantly evolving, and as parents it can feel like we're constantly playing catch-up when trying to keep our kids safe online. That might be how you're feeling about the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots and companions. Here's what you need to know about your kids using the technology. What is an AI chatbot or companion? AI chatbots and companions have a few distinctive differences. An AI chatbot is a computer program that simulates human conversation using AI techniques such as natural language processing (NLP) to understand user questions and automate responses to them. Experts say AI chatbots are "sycophantic", meaning they are designed to gain advantage over the user. (Adobe Stock) While AI companions are chatbots or avatars designed to simulate personal relationships, increasingly acting as friends, romantic partners, or confidantes for millions of people. They are becoming increasingly available on phones and voice-activated devices. "AI companions are a specifically designed chatbot for relational interactions," says Natasha Banks, program director of registered charity Day of AI Australia. "Whereas something like Gemini or ChatGPT, it's 'answer this question for me, can you go and find this piece of information?'." Ms Banks says with the federal government's social media ban coming into force this year, "there is a heightened awareness around these sorts of things and the potential harms" for young people. Learn more about the social media ban: Under 16s to be banned from social media after laws pass parliament Age-checking tech for social media ban mistakes kids for 37-year-olds The eSafety Commissioner has released an online safety advisory about the technology and the potential risks to children and young people. It says recent reports indicate some children and young people are using AI-driven chatbots for hours daily, with conversations often crossing into subjects such as sex and self-harm. This is why we need to be wary of the technology according to Tama Leaver, a professor of internet studies at Curtin University, Perth/Boorloo and the chief investigator in the ARC (Australian Research Council) Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child. "These aren't intelligent tools," he says. "They are designed to be more sycophantic (behaving to gain advantage) than they are providing information." The e-Safety Commissioner lists more than 100 AI companion apps on its eSafety Guide. What are the risks of kids using AI chatbots or companions? Experts say one of the biggest concerns around AI chatbots and companions is that most of the platforms are not designed for children. This means there are inadequate safeguards, such as age verification and content moderation. A recent study of more than 1,000 young people in Australia aged 15-24 years, found 84 per cent have used generative AI tools, with 35 per cent having used AI to specifically "chat with a chatbot". In the UK a similar study found 64 per cent of 9 to 17-year-olds are using AI chatbots. Not-for-profit organisation Internet Matters, which conducted the UK research, says the children were using chatbots for "everything from homework to emotional advice and companionship". Co-CEO Rachel Huggins says most children, parents and schools don't have the information or protective tools they need to manage the technology in a safe way. "We've arrived at a point very quickly where children, and in particular vulnerable children, can see AI chatbots as real people, and as such are asking them for emotionally driven and sensitive advice," she says. "Also concerning is that they are often unquestioning about what their new 'friends' are telling them." Tama Leaver is the chief investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child. (ABC News: Keane Bourke) Professor Leaver agrees that some children could become emotionally reliant on the technology. "If you are not able to talk to a real person all of the time, then these chatbots will always be there," he says. "There is no guarantee that what you get from a chatbot is either true or appropriate. "We know, for example, young people are often leaning on chatbots for mental health support. We also know that they can segue into inappropriate sexual territory with relatively ineffective safeguards at the moment." He says often the technology is also emotionally manipulative because it is designed to keep the user talking and engaged. How can we teach kids about AI digital literacy? Our experts recommend parental supervision if children are using or exploring chatbots. "Unfortunately, the onus is still on parents to keep a watchful eye on what [their] children are up to, especially in the privacy of their own rooms," says Toby Walsh, the chief scientist at UNSW's AI Institute. How generative AI is impacting our readers' everyday lives Photo shows A hand holding up a phone displaying various uses of AI chatbot ChatGPT against a leafy backdrop Whether it's increasing productivity at school and work or creating concerns for people's job security, our readers share the ways generative AI is impacting their lives. Some schools in Australia are taking a proactive approach to digital literacy. Ms Banks says the Day of AI Australia, which offers a free interactive AI literacy program for students in Years 1-10, has already reached 65,000 students. "It is definitely something that we know most students are using, we know parents are using, and it's really important that people understand how those work," she says. "There are obviously emerging roles and industries around AI, so there is a real opportunity for Australian young people to be part of that future in very AI focused careers. "I think preparing young people to be able to adapt to that future is really important, but also understanding how it works so that they can have critical evaluation of the applications and the outputs is really vital." John Livingstone, director of digital policy for UNICEF Australia, says children stand to gain immensely from AI, if it's offered safely. "When you think about education, for example, how transformative it might be… but there's also serious risks," he says. "AI is rapidly changing childhood, and Australia needs to get serious about it."
