@reaproy.bsky.socialLaughing at this as I was walking home last night. The Bangkok Metropolitan Authority's tessakit (inspectors) are so desperate to keep motorcycles off the Naradhiwas street sidewalk that they claim Big Brother AI CCTV is watching you. LMAO. Everyone knows no one is home, or the camera is busted.

@kirstenhan.comReposted by @reaproy.bsky.socialI wore this shirt to the State Courts for my court mention for one count of "taking part in a public assembly within a prohibited area". Security wouldn't let me into the building wearing it. I ultimately took it off by the entrance and turned it inside out before I was allowed in.
