After a post I just wrote, I feel compelled to summarize it in many of my other feelings.
I do not care: if you are tall, short, straight, gay, bi, trans, something else I don't understand or even know of, blue-eyed, brown-eyed, thin, fat, black, white, red, yellow, Left-Handed, right-handed

Hoppers mellowed out on shrooms and grass is better than roos hopped up on coke and meth.

Here's hoping that stare decisis carries more weight than with the Kangaroo Supreme Court.

My secret inside source is tell me that the cetaceans and octopuses were smart enough to actually stay the entire time. They had no desire to leave.
Same source suggest that watching the jellyfish exit and return was quite hilarious.

A brutal cold snap has hit the shores of West Borneo (East Malaysia).
I think I'm getting close to acclimated after 6 months.
25°c feels only marginally warmer than 25°f did when I lived in Chicago.
Brrr.
Can you get decent forecasts where you are?

Here in an Islamic land, Malaysia, there are no quarrels. This is in Sarawak, a non-Muslim majority state.
But lots of clearly Muslim (mom wears a tudong) families out to see and enjoy it.
The world is so much bigger than America understands. Sigh.

A woman recently went viral for holding up a window sign during a traffic stop, part of a growing trend of drivers using cards to assert their rights instead of speaking to police.

60 y.o. white American man. Happily Living in Malaysia.
I understand and share your feelings.
But there are places in SEA that the concerns are not excessive (e.g., Malaysia).
More importantly, your actions.
If living here peacefully isn't for you, ok. But you're missing out.
Acts > words

God I'd love to explore more SE Asia, but a solo 61 yo white bloke flying to Thailand or Cambodia isn't a look I can carry.

don’t forget, if someone tries to blindside you with a “hey could i ask you to carve the turkey” you can blindside them right back with a “no”

You'd be surprised how wonderful it is to not have to celebrate Thanksgiving because I'm living living 8,000 mi from the United States. I did not expect this. But I am absolutely enjoying the fuck out of it.
Turkey is bland, chicken tastes better.
And there's no contentious dialogue here.

This paper is also read by lots of people in Northern Kentucky and some in Southeast Indiana.

Punching someone wearing a helmet remains among the dumber moves in football.

Needn't be about cricket only. It could be about English football, English Rugby Union, the America's Cup... Really could be about any sport England gave to the world during its sun never sets phase.

Pitching a horror story in which an England cricket fan goes to sleep while England are winning and wakes up to find out they... didn't stack it and won the test. Said fan immediately knows something is very, very wrong with reality...

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.
