  • This is a big development if it checks out, but it might just be clickbait:

    Following the laboratory’s discovery of the secondary DNA trace, regional detectives in Chonburi initiated an urgent cross-reference with local missing persons databases. While senior police officials emphasize that no definitive matches can be declared until stringent, multi-point comparative testing is complete, unconfirmed leaks from the department suggest that the forensic timeline is being closely evaluated alongside the active file of 22-year-old Anond “Aon” Saelim.

  • To be completely fair, Casey… I think he’s just your run-of-the-mill megalomaniac sociopath…! He naively worshiped the raw (and insane) power of Nazi symbols because he gravitated to it like serial killers and Uday Hussein toward Darth Vader.

    The guy doesn’t have the consistency or coherence to stay dedicated to a warped & evil ideology like Nazism. Instead of being a villain with content, he is a husk who gravitates toward anything he thinks will further himself.

    A Nazi is a morally damaged & unwell person that can theoretically be reformed because their dedication to a system, at least, appears to show some kind of desire for meaning and consistency…

    But this guy just goes where the black wind of his heart blows him…!



  • But as the parents of the girl travelled to Pattaya to collect their daughter’s body, they rejected the apology.

    Thongchai Donhomla and Ordee Butrakhamare, both 46, who made the journey from their home in the northeast Thailand province of Kalasin, told local media that Ms Donhomla had only arrived in Pattaya days before her death.

    It was her first visit to the town infamous for its wild nightlife, but her parents had let her go with a friend because she had a helpful attitude and never had any issues with drugs.

    Through tears, they said they wanted the alleged perpetrator prosecuted and, if guilty, to receive the maximum punishment according to the law.

    They said when the friend reported her missing they set off for Pattaya and learnt her body had been found when they were still en route.

    Carman had met Ms Donhomla on the beachfront which late at night transforms into a well-known beat for prostitutes who trawl for customers under the palm trees, and so is known to many locals as the ‘Coconut Bar’.

    The pair could be seen on CCTV as they walked from the beach and entered the foyer of his hotel at around 3.30am on Thursday.

    Carman allegedly told authorities they had agreed he would pay the teen 1,000 baht (AU$43.45), but the pair had an argument when he only offered 500 baht (AU$21.72).

    After Ms Donhomla’s friends reported her missing, police searched his accommodation and seized a motorcycle, took DNA and fingerprint samples, but found no sign of Carman.

    Then on Friday, Thai authorities issued an urgent alert through the Immigration Bureau system while Pattaya investigators sought an arrest warrant.

    Police arrested him at Suvarnabhumi Airport, just minutes before his Jetstar Flight JQ76 to Perth was due to depart.

    Officers located the suitcase in long grass with Ms Donhomla inside, with blood and visible wounds to her face and body.

    Inside the suitcase with her were the white Onitsuka trainers she was wearing on the night, jeans, underwear, a mobile phone case, a wallet, her gold bracelet and necklace.

    The tattoos on her back, arms, chest and left leg matched those in her social media images.

    Pattaya detectives have charged Carman with murder, concealment of a body, moving or destroying a body, and taking a minor aged between 15 and 18 for sexual purposes.

    Asked by an officer if he killed the girl, Carman said, ‘No’.

    A murder conviction in Thailand can result in a life sentence or the death penalty.

  • Here’s the Wall Street Journal covering it.

    This is the CNN headline: Trump administration charges 455 people, including doctors, with $6.5 billion in healthcare fraud

    It has less information about the fraudsters themselves, but a key claim is repeated:

    Officials highlighted one defendant who they claim rubber stamped a student’s cardiovascular test as normal without alerting the family that his heart was enlarged. The 18-year-old college basketball player, Kaiden Francis, died weeks later during a workout.

    Oh, and check out the New York Times headline:

    Ferraris and Shell Companies: Justice Dept. Unveils Medicare Fraud Charges

    Medicare paid nearly $15 billion in 2025 for expensive wound coverings called skin substitutes, a spending spike that analysts have called one of the largest examples of waste in the federal health program’s history.

    The spending was fueled by multiple kickback schemes that enriched both the companies that manufactured skin substitutes and the doctors and nurses who applied them, according to charges the Justice Department recently filed.

    Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, announced the charges Tuesday as part of a larger suite of health care prosecutions against 455 defendants who, in total, are accused of $6.5 billion in fraudulent billing.

    The charging documents describe Mr. Rowan assisting health care providers with setting up shell companies in which the manufacturer could deposit doctors’ rebates. Amounts as large as $71 million would be wired into those accounts, the documents said.

    The charges against Mr. Rowan list some of his purchases with the Medicare funds, including a $47,000 Rolex watch and a life insurance policy that cost $1 million.

    “She was using human beings, American citizens, as living piggy banks,” Andrew Ferguson, the executive director of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, said of Ms. Yukee’s behavior at a news conference on Tuesday.

    She used that money, the documents say, to purchase a $600,000 Ferrari, a $865,000 Bulgari necklace and a multimillion dollar home in Hawaii, as well as to fund the construction of a “$4.6 million beach resort in the Philippines.”

    It’s the same information as in the NY Post article, but the Post article goes more in-depth.



  • Right, we cannot be hypocritical about this sort of thing.

    We are told to apply our judgments to ourselves, and to not judge based on the appearance.

    Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.

    John 7:24

    I would also add that I am not judging much at all here - he has made statements, and he is making his own position clear… It does not seem to match up with what Christianity is very well, and I think the criticism of it is valid…

    But yes, I do appreciate the general position of non-judgment.

    That is even why I highly value both liberty and peace - at the heart of both of these is non-judgment. And at the heart of non-judgment is free discussion and inquiry.




  • With the software’s latest release, the social networking platform is introducing email newsletters, a feature that will allow writers to send their posts directly to subscribers’ inboxes, even if those subscribers don’t have or want a Mastodon account.

    My vision is that every user can use their account to become a spambot…

    Just think of it. A whole new set of accounts to manually add to your spam filter/unsub from.

    These guys are visionary.
