Mr Sri Lanka. This is a rare case where I think the outfit would be better without the giant gold snakes around his head. Maybe add a cape, but I think the rest of the outfit (what little of it there is) is so great that he doesn't need the snakes.

And last but definitely not least, it's Mr Vietnam who has managed to combine the traditional and beautiful look with wearing a tree on his back, which is something that I very much appreciate (especially in a year with a very low level of insanely large looks)

Mr Philippines is the only one this year that even comes close to Mr Laos in terms of the giant amazing outfit. It's a very different approach to that kind of look but it's spectacular.

Mr Ecuador. Look at how happy he is. This is a chap who is just *thrilled* to be there. Also look at how tiny his feet look peeping out of those giant fluffy trousers.

Mr China coming in hard with the first of the traditional and *stunning* looks. There's just the right element of cosplay to the look, the colours are stunning and we love a weapon as a prop in Mister Global (fnar). Although the shoe looks oddly clunky. Minor quibble though.

Mr India is also following the standard of previous Mr India's in the contest of just wearing something traditional and immaculate and I think this is possibly my favourite traditional look of the year. It's just breathtakingly gorgeous.

Mr Brazil starts us off inoffensively enough with a fairly boring suit but my goodness he's selling it with that walk. He does get a bonus point for the suit clearly fitting though, because as you will see that is not always a given...

Mr Laos. Just when you though this year was a bit quiet on the insanely huge, bedazzled, symbolic costumes along comes Mr Laos and blows everyone else out of the water. This is insane, but it's also *so* good.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
