Mooncakes (and orange zest cookies) turned out well! Zionists are still upset, lmao.
A decorated wicker basket in the mid-autumn festival theme filled with bags of cookies and mooncakes. The cookies are wee golden discs with whole almonds on top and the mooncakes are the traditional baked type. The basket has a red ribbon bow and a cute ceramic rabbit holding a mooncake on the handle.

Original tweet juxtaposed an article of Anwar Ibrahim meeting with Japanese PM Ishiba with the latest news of his resignation with the comment: Anyone keeping tabs? This is world leader number 6 or 7? I can't wait for Trump's visit to ASEAN summit. QT: Anwar is the world leader equivalent of Rosé from Blackpink 🥀

NEWS BFM News @NewsBFM-23h Over 11,000 US products entering Malaysia from August 8 will have zero or reduced tariffs, said MITI Minister Zafrul Aziz. About 61% of these, inclddnn US agricultural items such as dairy, poultry, fruits and sanitary products, will have zero tariffs.... KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 — Minister of Investment, Trade, and Industry (Miti) Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz today clarified that the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries are not affected by recent tariff negotiations, and that imports to the United States remain at zero tariff. He also reiterated that the tariff rate has dropped from 25 per cent to 19 per cent. Zafrul said Malaysia will have 6,911 lines with zero tariffs following protracted negotiations with their American counterparts. He said this amounted to 61 per cent of the total 11,260 tariff lines requested by the United States. A tariff line refers to an item listed in a country’s tariff schedule, which is used to classify merchandise goods for the purpose of applying tariffs.

Today's news update reminded me of this tweet which apparently heralds a new semi-permanent meme at this rate #uspol #China
Joey Politano: "The year is 2210. American & Chinese officials meet in Lisbon for the ceremonial "extending the tariff deadline", celebrating the two countries' trade relationship in an annual tradition whose origins are now lost in history" Reply in the comments: "tacos are served, but no one knows why"

Wiki entry: The Islamic Resistance Movement, abbreviated Hamas[b] (the Arabic acronym from Arabic: حركة المقاومة الإسلامية, romanized: Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah),[25][c] is a Palestinian nationalist Sunni Islamist[26] political organisation with a military wing, the Qassam Brigades. It has governed the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip since 2007 Note on a tweet from the Holocaust Museum: Exploiting the Museum and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to sanitize “globalize the intifada” is outrageous and especially offensive to survivors. Since 1987 Jews have been attacked and murdered under its banner. All leaders must condemn its use and the abuse of history. To which Brian Metzger reports, with screenshots: This seems to be in response to Zohran Mamdani saying the museum has used the word "intifada" when discussing the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in Arabic. Per Wayback, looks like they used "intifada" (uprising) on their site til mid-2024, when they switched to "muqawama" (resistance).

To the post that is announcing that Blood Brothers will be playing in Cambodia this week, the RT says: From the poster you can see how varied a Malaysian face can be. We really have no template huh. The poster is in a V-shaped lineup style. Everyone but two of the seven actors shown here are considered Malay (the other two is Chinese and Indian respectively - but they don't fit the idol template you see in South and East Asia either)

4 steel bowls across two steamer compartments that make up the lunchbox. One has brown rice, the other a spicy oden soup with pakchoy and fishcakes, the third has carrots and mushrooms, and the final bowl is simple steamed egg.
