Israel apparently got 2nd for Eurovision. Maybe they should have just won so we can see how many countries will boycott the contest next year.

What kinda irks me with this govt's (and partially its predecessor's) approach to these policies is how much they overemphasize the benefits for tourists and not for...us Thais that actually live here with the consequences longer than any would-be visitors.
Not sure if the Thai government basing economic growth around alcohol, casinos, and Marijuana is a good plan. I think education, innovation and sustainability might work out better in the long term.

imagine paying $200 to watch a 2 hour French New Wave film that could have been collapsed into a 10 min scene of young people running around.
$300 to watch In the Mood for Love, and in the end, they don't even kiss.

Every urbanist who praises my home country Singapore's 'social housing' should also be beat over the head with the EIP: there are strict racial quotas (and heterosexual marriage rules) for social housing

My high school history teacher, who specialized in decolonialization, would bristle every time someone said ‘the far east’
‘It’s only far and east of London. It’s right here if you’re here, and pretty near’

Thought it was super hilarious when V*nce referred to the “peasants” in China. Like does he think it’s the 70s or what? China has progressed so much, sure it may not be as rich as USA yet but it is definitely a richer country now with a comfortable middle class.
