@Ajarncom Great Korean fruit sherbert bars. They're sold at most Tops Markets.

Forget Villa Supermarket and Uniqlo, etc, the main reason to go to Lasalle's Avenue is the chance to buy two Melona ice lollies for 39 baht from the Japanese pharmacy.

@bkksomchai @Ajarncom Looks correct given the low building standards at schools. You run outside in an earthquake as even braced supports won't hold up in a strong quake.

@tedstew If these GOPers were really Americans, they would convince Rupert Murdoch to create "FoxSearch" to compete with Google. Whatever happened to the GOP's belief in the free enterprise system?

Democrats are coming into hearing rejecting the Republican premise:

At GOP controlled @HouseJudiciary Committee hearing with @Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Much of this hearing will be stupid and a waste of time. Why? Because the First Amendment prevents government from regulating the content of speech of non-governmental entities.

It is designed to prevent suppression of free speech by plantiffs who file lawsuits upon which they are unlikely to prevail at trial.

#Thailand: today the NLA passed the so-called Anti-Slapp Law (draft Section 161/1 of the Criminal Procedure Code) which provides the court with discretion to dismiss cases that are “filed in bad faith” or “distort the facts”

@Ajarncom Nope, foreign teachers are not supposed to discipline students for uniform and hair length violations. It is the Thai teachers' responsibility to enforce these draconian rules.

@selfsynergy @Ajarncom @Gord_Lincs Sugary snacks and deep fried food have always been a part of Thai schoolchildren's diets. The re\cent rise in obesity is due to mobile phones, FB, Line and games, which make the kids sedentary.

Is Bangkok going to be the first white elephant of ASEAN? The pointless, useless, unwanted capital of a newly formed group. In one word I would describe Bangkok as “Meh”.

@CheeseForEvery1 Sorry, but the government has no business interfering with a purely corporate decision regarding customer relations and Christmas greetings. Each individual company has the sole right to weigh the advantages and disadvantages and provide guidance to its staff.

@StickboyBangkok Using melted ice to wash fruits and veggies. Not real safe food safety practices, but that's the risk with street food.

@RadioFreeTom I bought Boston's first album when it was released. After playing it once, I gave it to my brother. I hate my brother.

@GeorgePapa19 @smartbrain No, what you did do was get so drunk in a London bar that you bragged about getting dirt on Hillary from Russians to Australia's top UK diplomat. You're stupid and going to prison for it. Own it.

I NEVER flipped against the president. What I did do, however, is expose the corruption of this “investigation” for the world to see. The legacy is what matters now, how history remembers these days. Silence during these critical days was never an option. All must be exposed.

@Ajarncom Nikes are manufactured in Indonesia and Vietnam, not Malaysia. They used to be made in Thailand, until the Child Labor laws were strengthened.

But none of them play basketball as well as Michael Jordan does or could shift millions of dollars of Nike merchandise.

@dsamuelsohn I still don't get why AppDC is entertaining this issue, which wasn't raised at the trial court level. It doesn't fit any of the federal exceptions to the general rule that you can't raise a new issue on appeal. repository.law.indiana.edu/cgi/viewconten…

@chefkdk Jakarta has 3 Fatburger stores. The best fast food burger in America. Too bad they don't have an airport location yet.

@maggieNYT Would love to see Michael Avennati sue Sarah Sanders for defamation on behalf of Jim Acosta. Avennati I think would be up for it, but Acosta I think would be too much of a professional to file suit over the "fake news".
English
Yes, the White House press office is sharing a manipulated video that makes it appear that Acosta was menacing the intern when he was not and did not. The intern reached over Acosta to grab the microphone while he was trying to ask another q and Acosta tried to pull away.
Julie Scelfo@JulieScelfo
I am pretty sure that @maggieNYT is here referring to the official White House press office, but it would be best if she clarifies. Pay close attention, America: the United States @PressSec is circulating a demonstrably fake, i.e. doctored video. cc @PENamerican @pressfreedom
