Fascinating read by @willripleycnn.bsky.social on why Kim Jong Un didn't bother meeting Donald Trump during his visit to Korea this time around (he'll keep his nuclear weapons, thank you) as well as how daily life in Pyongyang - or "Pyonghattan" - has improved a lot lately, at least for its elites.

BREAKING Trump on AF1 just now after meeting China’s Xi: “We have a deal. Now, every year we’ll renegotiate the deal, but I think the deal will go on for a long time.” Trump says rare earths issue “settled” & China will buy soybeans. Now we await the fine print.

Among the hundreds of thousands of precious artifacts housed in Taiwan's National Palace Museum, perhaps the most famous is a small cabbage, made out of jade. People line up to marvel at its uncanny resemblance to the real thing.

For the second time, a rally for popular Indian actor-politician Vijay turned deadly. At least 39 people died, including children, when 25-30K ppl packed an area approved for 10K. Last year, at least six people died during Vijay’s first political rally.
