Wow. trump’s all over those Epstein files. Why is he still in the White House?
Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

It is unfathomable that Americans still accept trump as their chosen leader. What a cultural downfall.

Q Bar was not the first bar in Bangkok I was involved in 😅
After years of telling these stories over drinks & meals, Chapter 1 of my memoirs is now live – a story from my early Bangkok days – part adventure, part nostalgia, part “how on earth did that actually happen?” Hope you enjoy the read. substack.com/@andrewclark...

I find more and more social media posters don’t understand how to spell Yeah! and Yay! They mostly use Yea, which is archaic for ‘yea or nay’. Mildly annoying.

When diving was a 1st class experience in the Andaman Sea.... I did my Padi in 1992 on Tioman island... diving before 2000 in those waters was really a privilege...

Found my 32-year-old dive logbook… and it sent me right back to the Andaman Sea, long nights on deck, insane underwater caves, guns to the head, incredible Thai meals, and unforgettable friends.
Chapter 5 of my memoirs is live.

Eremition…
Is it just a fact of aging?

These Desert Roses came with the house we bought 23 years ago. They’ve just lived in the same pots, occasionally hibernating when I forget to water them for six months. They have wild, prehistoric-looking seed pods every few years. This year, I planted them. #Bangkokgarden

I always check and shake out my shoes before putting them on. I finally found something.

Decent harvest of various types of eggplants. Time for a Thai green curry. #Bangkokgarden

My weather app said yesterday that it would rain in Bangkok at 7:00 am today. Bang on 7, it’s raining! In the dry season. After not having any rain for weeks. Wild.
