A bit foxy out there indeed!
Word of the day is ‘foxy’ (19th century), used of weather that misleads you into thinking it’s extremely warm when in reality it’s pretty chilly.

China is upgrading its propaganda. Photos emerge that Palawan, a Philippine province, is now a Chinese territory. If WW3 is to happen, China will be the main aggressor in Asia and Philippines is looking again to be the most destroyed Asian territory as it was in WW2.
