Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 24/04/2026
» Fans of true crime series will already be familiar with the steady stream of Netflix docuseries released over the years. Some have been more disturbing than others. But trust me -- this latest one pushes that discomfort into a much darker, more unsettling place.
SCOTUS slaps down YouTube copyright actions
Life, James Hein, Published on 22/04/2026
» Following on from my previous observation of the music industry harassing content creators, the Supreme Court in the US just rewrote the rules of secondary copyright liability. On March 25, the Supreme Court unanimously held that simply knowing your users might infringe copyright is not enough to make you liable.

» Royalist history paints 1932 as a coup by a self-interested clique which thwarted King Prajadhipok's wish to introduce a constitution and led Thailand to militarism and fascism.

In 2020 the youth activists reinstalled the plaque in cyberspace and called themselves the New People's Party. The event matters, one way or the other, down to today.
