At least 36 people, including 24 children are dead following an horrific childcare centre massacre
Thailand is mourning the loss of 36 lives, after a man carried out a massacre attack on a childcare centre in the northeast of the nation.
It’s believed the horrific attack was carried out by a man with a knife and gun, while the children were asleep, before killing himself and his family.
Thailand’s Royal police says the man, a former officer, had been suspended from duty on January 20 after “he was accused of committing a serious disciplinary violation.”
During a search of his residence, police discovered a tablet of “yaba”, which is a combination of methamphetamine and caffeine.
In Thailand, it is “crazy medicine.”
The alleged attacker had previously appeared in court on a drug possession charge.
Global condolences
The United States is among a number of countries offering condolences and all of those impacted by the massacre.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says America is “horrified” by the mass killing.
Thailand in mourning
Thailand‘s King and Queen Suthida will visit a hospital on Friday to meet with the victims and their families.
The country’s prime minister will also travel to the region to pay his respects.
The prime minister’s office says Thailand will fly flags at half-staff as a mark of respect.

Boston Dynamics has recently unveiled its latest creation, the electric Atlas robot, boasting enhanced agility and strength.
However, with its uncanny ability to contort and rise from the ground with an almost eerie grace, one might wonder if we’re witnessing the birth of the world’s first robot contortionist.
As this technological marvel flaunts its capabilities, one can’t help but ponder if we’re on the brink of a future where household chores will be effortlessly handled by robots moving like a fusion of ballet dancers and horror movie monsters.
With its cadaver-like movements and illuminated head, it’s hard not to speculate whether Atlas is destined to revolutionise robotics or simply rehearsing for a techno-horror rendition of The Nutcracker. As Boston Dynamics continues to push the boundaries of robotics, the line between science fiction and reality becomes increasingly blurred.
As the morning sun peeks through the curtains, many reach for that familiar brew, kickstarting their day with a comforting cup of coffee.
It’s a ritual ingrained in cultures worldwide, offering a jolt of energy to combat the grogginess of dawn.
But when is the optimal time for that caffeine fix? According to registered dietitian Anthony DiMarino, RD, LD, the answer isn’t crystal clear.
Some experts suggest delaying that first sip until mid-morning or later. However, DiMarino reassures coffee lovers that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this dilemma.
Meanwhile, the science behind coffee production unveils fascinating insights into its instant variant. Whether produced through freeze-drying or spray-drying methods, instant coffee offers convenience without sacrificing flavor.
Yet, beyond convenience, recent studies delve deeper into coffee’s impact on our bodies. Research exploring the acute effects of decaffeinated versus caffeinated coffee reveals intriguing findings on reaction time, mood, and skeletal muscle strength.
Moreover, investigations into the gut microbiome shed light on coffee’s influence on liver cirrhosis patients. A study analyzing the duodenal microbiome in this population found correlations between coffee consumption and microbial richness and evenness.
So, as you sip your coffee and ponder the day ahead, consider not just the flavour in your cup but also the subtle impacts it may have on your body and mind.
