Running a cornice mold in plaster is really not complicated. Doing the same but in limestone requires heavier tools. Nice video here:

The flooding season in Thailand is particularly bad this year, as the government has designated large parts of an entire province north of Bangkok as a flood control zone. They take the hit to save Bangkok but as the city grows the flooding keeps getting worse and worse. This article is from 2024 but gives a fair backstory to the current problems. Building a city on a river delta while sacrificing most an entire province doesn't sound like a sustainable solution.

“The modern state relies on narratives to maintain its legitimacy. Where economic growth and social security once provided the basis for trust, narrative has now become the real currency. The state finances, the media disseminates, and academia produces the theoretical frameworks that make it all look like science. It is this symbiosis that makes the term media fascism apt – not as a cheap insult, but as a description of structure. Fascism at its core is the union of state and corporate power under one narrative. It does not necessarily seek violence, but unity. It tolerates no competing truths, no free voices.”
