Last RP: Still scratching my head over the Thai PM’s methods, but it’s clear she is either getting bad advice or has a bad case of Dunning-Kruger.

The tragedy is that the Thai PM threw an army general under the bus and agreed to all of Cambodia’s demands all in hopes that Hun Sen would give her cover to help with her domestic political issues. The farce is doing this in such an embarrassingly amateur way. www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/gen...

Good morning all. Once again, a mostly clear sunrise over Cammeraygal Country-Sydney today. I assume a high pressure system is parked over the Australian mainland at the moment.

Always remember: nothing is ever good enough. Scold anyone you see celebrating small wins. If you see someone suggesting ways to make things better, be sure to cut them down for advocating a situation that isn't perfection.

I don't really understand how it works now. I believe Australian police can't assist if death penalty is technically on the table (extremely unlikely to be enforced under this president) (ironically) but it's obviously a case that plays out back here as well.

Out of the three BLACKPINK solo albums, I like ROSÉ’s the best (favourite voice and music style). JENNIE and LISA have similar styles - I like LISA’s work a little better? Needs another listen through, I think.

I’m researching ways that digital technologies in Australia's private rental sector are impacting renters and housing justice. I’m looking for more interview participants. If you are a renter and have experience using ‘RentTech’ - I want to speak with you! More info and EOI here:
