As a long-time resident in Taiwan, it's clear that Lai Ching-te's rhetoric of Taiwan hasn't substantially changed from Tsai Ing-wen. What has clearly changed is the CCP has up its tempo with its aggression against Taiwan. This is clear when analyzing the data. 1/

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

It took me 3-4 rereads to get through the grammar here. But once I got the commas in their proper place, the message became even more frightening.
🧲 We’re seeing the horseshoe event horizon when the lefties cheering on China because they see it as a counterforce against the US align with the Silicon Valley tech titans high on China as an advanced Sino-topian techno-surveillance state.

The fact congressional Democrats have not hired three dozen D&D rules lawyers with oppositional defiant disorder and turned them loose on parliamentary procedure with the goal of maximum obstruction is such a fucking missed opportunity
I’m bringing this up because this is a simple procedural way to fuck with republicans even if they’re in the majority. Call them out of order, rise to a point of personal privilege, use the very procedural rules that organize their meetings to strangle them. It fucking works.

The adrenaline ebbed, and the exultation of a moment years in the making passed. Wile E. Coyote looked down at the bloody, mangled corpse of the bird at his feet, and wondered - what now? He looked up, squinting in the desert sun, and saw a vulture circling in the cloudless sky.

Maybe a dumb question, but I wonder what actually would happen if a flood of US & expats just showed up on Xiaohongshu/Little Red Book/REDNote, and started sharing stories of the Hong Kong Protests, or the Uighur, or 6/4/89?
Would they let it slide for the newcomers, or would it prompt a crackdown?

I absolutely hate the phrase "rolled back". It makes it sound like they released a bad software patch. They aren't "rolling back protections and rights" they are TAKING AWAY protections and rights. Away from normal, not rolling back to normal. Stop saying it

McDonald's Japan went viral for this stone-etched ad written in an odd-looking script. Turns out the text is Wojite, a form of Jindai Moji (Characters of the Age of the Gods) - an Edo Era forgery that claimed to be Japan's pre-Chinese character writing system.
