2/ Bleaker than the 9 to 5 For so many of us, vacations are dreams that don’t materialise. Anticipated escapes from reality that end up falling a little flat. For all those preparatory hours spent researching heaven on Earth, the final experience is so often just so…bleak. In the build up to Vacation, we pushed Roope on a more emotive title. We completely missed the point. Vacation is emotive in its blandness. A frightening reality shock in its emptiness. Its vacancy. In addition to the title, AI too plays a role in hammering reality home here. Somehow, the works’ surrealism hits us harder than more photorealistic images might. Roope uses AI to make his work more real. He uses fakeness to reveal the truth.

3/ However, while Vacation may shine a light on some of life’s harsh realities, it also offers a source of optimism. We are not alone. This is normal. This is what it means to be human. And it’s beautiful. We will be going deeper into the series over the course of the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, you can find Luba Elliott’s brilliant essay on Vacation linked at the bottom of this thread.

4/ PUNKS Vacation contains 25 ‘Punks’. While idealism morphs into disquieting surrealism in many Vacation works, the Punks degenerate further into the grotesque. These guys hit us right in the gut. Mangled limbs and mutated faces dominate the compositions. They’re ugly and gnarly. They’re perfectly Rainisto.

#ลีน่าหมิว #LenaMiu 🦋: I feel it’s an episode that should be watched the most. 🧸: it shows the cuteness of Parn and Pheem, where they fell in love, the start of the sparks, and the start of the feeling of ‘hey, I really like this woman’ and ‘hey, you really like this woman’. 🦋: and the important thing is that you get to see the trauma for both of the characters from their personal lives. Like why do both of the characters think this way and what’s the trauma. There’s a backstory to the characters, which will give it more weight/depth in the later episodes. 🦋: we’re very happy that everyone/fans want to come and watch us in the first ep. We also wanted everyone to come and watch with us on the big screen. 🧸: yes, we’re very happy to see the fans. The last time was our first time, so we were nervous (excited nervous) and it was a bit scary. But since this one is now our second series together, I feel like it’s going to be more fun because we now know what it’s like to watch it with the fans – it’s like being at a boxing match and cheering. And for this series, P’Lena also said that it’s going to feel more like we’re cheering at a boxing match than the last series. 🦋: to be real with you, it’s gonna make you shy/blush because the scenes in the series are like…give you goosebumps and especially having to watch it on the big screen, it makes the viewers feel it more. It really hits different. 🧸: just with this small screen, we’re screaming our heads off in the room, and just imagine how many inches the screen is that we’re going to watch it on!

Lena and Pheem aren’t the same person #ลีน่าหมิว #LenaMiu 🦋: there’s a series with N’Miu, called ‘Pls Love’. This will be our second series for the both of us. The characters are very different from the first series, so it’s a big challenge. 🎤: how is it going to be this time? 🦋: in this series, I’ll be a sharp-tongued/foul-mouthed person, not just a little but quite intense, like sassy/fiesty in a LenaMiu version, that sort of vibe. 🎤: earlier it was said she’s (pheem) was a red flag? 🦋: the ultimate red flag. Never felt I had to play such a red flag character, but in that red flag, every character has their own reasons for why they think that way and why their actions are like that, and the story will lead the viewers to eventually understand. 🎤: usually, when you’re with Miu you’re all cutesy/playful but once you’ve got to be in a lot a conflict (cause the role is heavy with conflict), how is it? 🦋: I separate them, so in the series, it’s a series and in real life, it’s real life – in real life, we’re LenaMiu who are close with one another, a relationship like this. But when we’re the characters in the series, Khun Pheem and Nong Pan, it might be a different vibe. It’s just a challenge for actors/actresses who are close with one another – like how do we act to make the viewers believe that the character isn’t LenaMiu? 🎤: is it difficult to play/be a super red flag character? 🦋: is it hard? It’s quite enjoyable! Honestly, I’m not scared of anything, but I fear not being able to go to the market… I’m afraid that when I meet the fans, they might hate me 😭, but I believe everyone understands. 🎤: it seems like you enjoy it with– 🦋: I’ve played as someone with a sharp tongue before, and I felt like it was something that was completely out of my usual boundaries (new territory, outside the box). Because before, I used to play a character that was well-behaved. But when I get to play as someone with a sharp tongue and sassy, there’s like a challenge where I have to do my homework with why this character is like this and why they have to say this phrase? But in them being sharp-tongued, they are actually sensitive. 🎤: sharp-tongued but kind at heart (tough but kind) 🦋: yes, something like that. 🎤: so for the fans who’ve just recently followed how will they be able to handle it? you might have played this before– 🦋: I suggest the fans who hasn’t seen the first series 🎤: go back and watch it first? 🦋: no, not to go back and watch it first, but what I mean is when watching the second series, please try to look back at the reality of Lenamiu, that we’re both really soft. Don’t believe that this character is Lena, it’s not. It’s just a character. The character and me are two completely different people.

In light of the names Anneke Lucas mentioned, like the former Canadian prime minister who is dead now, but is the father of the current one. It is being shared all over the internet now. Canadian accounts are posting this, and it is getting lots of attention. This is also a wake-up call for Canada. A lot of people in Canada are commenting on social media that they are shocked by this guy being named. But actually he was already mentioned by Cathy O'Brien in 1995, as being involved in these networks! See the video below. So there is corroboration between these witnesses. A lot of these former and now deceased prime ministers she mentions were, at that time that she was in it in the 70s, involved in this. Also the Belgian one that Anneke names, and was also named by other witnesses. Which tells us, like these witnesses say, this was a global network. So the truth was already out there a bit, but it is coming out more for a bigger public. We will have more revelations coming out in 2025 about these dark dealing that have been going on at the highest levels, I'm sure. This is going to be a shock for a lot of people that are new to this information, because it is reaching a bigger public. Some will choose not to believe it, do no research, and look no further. But a lot more people will wake up to this, it is unstoppable. Of course, we have to check in with our own vibration. If it gets too heavy, take some time out and go for a walk in nature. Whilst revelations are important for the truth to come out, and confronting hard information is part of that, we have to check with our selves how this information is affecting us, and sometimes we need a time off. It is always most important to maintain a healthy balance between checking in with this information and our own peace of mind. #Epstein #PBDpodcast

[ENG Trans] — GMMTV 2026 Presented “HIGH & LOW BORN TO be HIGH” 💣 #sea_tawinan #HighandLowSeries #GMMTV2026 🎤 Host: This series is considered one of the major projects of 2026, as it’s a collaboration between Team HI-AX and GMMTV with Parbdee Production, adapting a hit Japanese series into a Thai version. 🎤 Host: Just from the trailer we watched earlier, the crowd was screaming nonstop. How do you all feel? — Sky: Well, for this project, each actor has already spent around two full filming queues. Hahaha! It’s a very exciting project adapted from the Japanese high-end series “HIGH & LOW BORN”, reimagined into the Thai version “HIGH & LOW BORN TO be HIGH”. It’s the story of four gangster groups fighting for dominance. 🎤 Host: Since you mentioned the story is divided into 4 gangs, let’s recap who belongs to which gang. 1️⃣: Starting with the first gang, called Wat Yai Gang (“Great Temple Gang”): Josh, Aou, Barcode. — Josh: We confirm that everyone in our gang is big, in size and in heart. To join this gang, you must be brave and strong-willed, ready to face anything. Our characters are a group of orphans with nowhere to go, so we all ended up living at the temple together. 2️⃣: Next is the Sawang Phaisarn Gang with members: Ohm, Pond, Nanon. — Nanon: Our gang is made up of volunteer rescue workers. That means when the gangs fight, we’re usually the ones who come in to clean up the mess or give first aid. That’s the role of our rescue gang. 3️⃣: The next gang is the Ai Nam Gang (“Gas Gang”): KhaoTung, Perth, Sky, Sea, Mark. — Sky: Actually, our gang’s official name is Rat Bamrung, also known as Ai Nam. We’re kids who come from more rich backgrounds. And as the trailer just showed, we’re all bikers. 4️⃣: And the final gang is the Waan Talay Gang (“Ocean Whale Gang”): Nani, Winny. — Nani: It’s only the two of us. No matter what fights break out, I personally avoid fighting the Wat Yai Gang, there are only two of us, and just look at their size! We’re way outnumbered. — Winny: We might have new members later, but they’re not introduced yet… 🎤 Host: This series is truly a major project with many talented actors participating. Judging from the trailer, it’s clear the show will be intense and very entertaining. 🎤 Host: Please say something to invite everyone to watch the series. — Nanon: Please support our series! We guarantee it will be exciting and fun. As Khun Sataporn said earlier, it’s one of the most anticipated projects, both thrilling and enjoyable to make. We think filming it is going to be a lot of fun, so please look forward to it and support us!
