China’s Communist Party is delighted to see the end of Voice of America.

“The so-called beacon of freedom, VOA, has now been discarded by its own government like a dirty rag.”

Only Greg Zuckerman can make you laugh out loud reading his column about China’s disruptive AI contender DeepSeek and his book about a quant investor.
On Friday, WSJ’s Gregory Zuckerman had never heard of DeepSeek’s Liang Wenfeng. By Monday, he realized Liang knew a lot about Zuckerman—and Zuckerman was scrambling to learn about him

Kudos to The Globe and Mail for nailing Canada’s strong hand against Trump’s invented trade war against Canada and Mexico. His tariff threats would burden U.S. consumers with higher inflation on key goods

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

Horrors of #Assad 's prisons like #Sednaya are real.

Many of the images you will see from #syria are real.

Exercise caution because sharing them is harmful.

One day they will cited by propagandists seeking to discredit actual evidence of atrocities.
