Subject(s) (That) Matter

So, if you disagree with them, would you be considered disloyal to Thailand or something? Second, Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang ordered all schools under BMA to have their students sing the royal anthem after they sing the national anthem before classes every morning to remind them of Thailand's three pillars -- nation, religion and monarchy -- which I humbly think the kids are reminded of plenty already.

Life, Published on 24/01/2020
» Listing the nature programmes narrated, and sometimes written and produced, by the extremely industrious David Attenborough would take about all the space I have here. Just listing the major ones -- the Frozen Planets, the Blue Planets, the Planet Earths -- would be a stretch. Within the last year, he's added 15 more hours with the highly praised Our Planet for Netflix and now Seven Worlds, One Planet.
