P. Diddy was acquitted on Wednesday of sex trafficking and racketeering charges, but convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution after an eight-week federal trial. A jury in Manhattan found Mr. Combs, 55, not guilty of the most serious charges against him. Prosecutors had accused the famed producer of coercing two former girlfriends, Casandra Ventura and a woman who testified pseudonymously as “Jane,” into unwanted sex with male prostitutes, aided by a team of pliant employees. Even with a partial conviction, the result is something of a victory for Mr. Combs, who was elated in court. He had faced a possible life sentence had he been convicted of other counts in the case. He could be sentenced up to a maximum of 20 years in prison on the two transportation for prostitution charges — 10 years for each count — but the final sentence will be up to a judge. Here’s what else to know: Racketeering: Jurors said on Tuesday that there were “unpersuadable opinions on both sides” in regard to the racketeering count. Racketeering law was once intended to combat the Mafia but has become central in cases against R. Kelly, Young Thug, Wall Street executives, gang members and President Trump. Possible release: A defense lawyer immediately asked the judge to release Mr. Combs from jail to await sentencing now that he no longer faces sex-trafficking and racketeering charges. The judge said he would hear arguments on the question before ruling. The jury: The racially diverse panel of eight men and four women, ranging in age from 30 to 74, sent several notes to the judge during deliberations, both asking for evidence and expressing concern about one juror. Felony charges: Had he been convicted of sex trafficking, Mr. Combs would have faced a sentence of 15 years to life in prison. The charge of racketeering conspiracy also carries a potential life sentence. Prosecution’s case: Mr. Combs was portrayed as the head of a criminal enterprise who “used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted” in the government’s closing argument. A prosecutor said Mr. Combs used violence, financial control and threats to manipulate his girlfriends into physically taxing sex sessions with hired men, while he masturbated and filmed. Defense’s case: In its closing argument, Mr. Combs’s defense team told jurors that the government’s evidence contradicted its case. It acknowledged that Mr. Combs had engaged in domestic violence and drug use, but argued that the accusation that Mr. Combs was a sex trafficker or criminal ringleader was “badly exaggerated.”

An eight year old Thai boy has been rescued from a squalid drug den where he was raised alongside six dogs and ended up barking instead of speaking. The boy, who had not been to school in two years, was found living in filthy conditions in Laplae district, Uttaradit province, with his drug-addicted mum and older brother. With no friends and no human contact, the boy reportedly learned to communicate by barking like a dog. “He didn’t speak, he just barked,” said Pawina Hongsakul, President of the Pawina Hongsakul Foundation for Children and Women, who led the rescue on June 30. “It was pitiful to see.” https://thethaiger.com/news/national/barking-mad-boy-rescued-after-being-raised-by-dogs-in-drug-den

A good discussion for the next time you run into one of those clean cut Mormon missionaries!

Pride 2025

Most of us have been programmed to believe that monogamy is good and that being a playa (or even worse a slut) is bad. It's internalized in most of us. Best to be true to ourself and our desires. So neither is nasty although some might say Suave will rot in hell for eternity.

What You Need to Know: When: Saturday, June 28, 2025, starting at 4:30 PM. Where: The parade route begins at Central Marina and proceeds along Beach Road to Central Beach. What to Expect: Colorful floats, music, drag performances, and a joyous atmosphere celebrating diversity. Traffic Alert: Road closures are expected along Beach Road, so plan your travel accordingly.

Tiffany’s Pattaya Show celebrates its 50th anniversary and looks back on colorful memories before opening a new chapter: “Crystalize a Dream” – a place of acceptance, appreciation of identity, and human diversity. “Crystalize a Dream” will preserve the essence of the original shows, such as Pattaya Paradise and Butterfly Ball, but reinterpret them to be more inclusive and contemporary. “We were always fully booked,” says Dr. Darin Phanthusak, Vice President of PTS Holding. “But it was important to us to add new dimensions to the show. This will be possible thanks to technological advances.” Although details are kept secret, it’s clear that the family behind Tiffany’s wants to offer more than just a spectacle—they’re striving for transformation. Since the death of founder and visionary Senator Sutham Phanthusak, the PTS Group has been led by his wife, Orawan, and their daughters Darin, Alisa, and Varassaya. Under their leadership, Tiffany’s has flourished beyond the stage. Today, the family’s ventures include the Woodlands Hotel, the La Ferme restaurant, two French cafés called La Baguette, Thai Marché, and the Lola Summer boutique—a lifestyle empire that combines hospitality, dining, and entertainment. Yet despite this expansion, Tiffany’s Show remains the crown jewel. Each year, it hosts national and international transgender beauty pageants, broadcast live to Thai audiences and celebrated worldwide. “We owe a lot to Pattaya,” says Dr. Darin. “And we want to give something back with the best possible performance.” The new Show will begin on June 27, 2025, with the official launch in July 2025. https://thepattayanews.com/2025/06/20/tiffanys-show-in-pattaya-celebrates-50-years-the-end-of-the-old-show-a-new-chapter-crystalize-a-dream/

You're luck Snoop! They were originally intended for the Three Musketeers: You, Mr Suave, and Loverboy.

Great pic of you and the sissy posse Snoop!

It's beginning to look like Songkran in Barcelona! In Barcelona, the center of recent protests against overtourism in European cities, demonstrators carrying signs reading “Tourists go home” and “Tourism is stealing from us” marched down the city’s so-called Golden Mile, a street flanked by luxury boutiques and high-end hotels, spraying visitors with water outside a Louis Vuitton store. Outside a nearby hostel, a scuffle broke out with employees, with some protesters setting off fireworks. A police barricade stopped the march near the Sagrada Família Basilica, one of the city’s main tourist attractions. Sunday’s protests grew out of a weekend of workshops held in Barcelona by the Southern Europe Network Against Touristification in April, after demonstrations last July in which squirt guns emerged as a symbol of anger over the effects of mass tourism.

That's my experience too Snoop. I like taking the bus from the manila airport to AC but have always been reluctant to take the bus back to the airport. But I hear the road is more direct now. Think you must catch the bus at Terminal 3 but if taking the bus to Aquino airport in Manila you can get dropped off at any terminal. I much prefer flying into Clark and am willing to arrive/depart at an inconvenient time or pay extra to do so. But I don't have plans to go back to AC. Rom's recent trip reports scarred me off a bit. Of course it's nice to have one's Sim sorted early but I've just bought Sims in one of the shops on Fields. Have no idea of what the exact pricing differences are between Globe and Smart. Thanks for all the detail and spreadsheets Snoop! Quite informative! A few random thoughts. Although the rates at the various money changers are quite similar if changing big money I like Norma's on Tedoro. If coming from Thailand, I usualy get USD in Thailand and change dollars to pisos in AC. : There's also a water filling station next door where I can fill my water jugs. For Visa extensions I like 583. For booking taxis I like Beeway YMMV. Great posts Snoop!
