This is true.
I use my smartphone only to listen to music when I take the bus. My eyes are always looking at life in old neighborhoods…
A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.

Cool -- and cheering? -- technology that makes people laugh with joy/enthusiasm! 🥰 (I myself have been on platforms when the "old"/currently operating shinkansen whizz by and must say, they've left me in awe... maybe even giddy with delight at having witnessed such a wonder!😅)

They're all good but that first photo is positively epic.
Exactly. Also, as others have noted, Biden had a few mental lapses but seemed otherwise in good physical shape for his age. Trump was obviously deteriorating both physically and mentally during the 2024 campaign to now, but somehow everything was fine because Ronny Jackson said so?
It’s (Far) East countries that top the list of countries with the lowest birth rates. That Afrikaner is an ignorant idiot.

"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Western media and press should NOT help China distort history and FAKE a victory. 1945 - 🇺🇸 defeated Imperial 🇯🇵 and 🇯🇵 surrendered to Chiang’s ROC (Taiwan) not Mao’s CCP. 1935-47 - Mao hid in the cave, doing little fighting. 1949 - PRC was formed after kicking Chiang out.
Once, when I was in my teens, our father went into a rant about how the original Vietnamese written language had been permanently erased by Westerners. He always called Vietnam “On Nam” (in Cantonese). None of us knew what he was talking about. Now we do…
Yes! Stop looking down at your devices, and look at life. It’s everywhere!

Everytime China says it doesn't mettle in internal affairs of its neighbours, laugh your ass off at the lies. "Myanmar Junta Boss Personally Thanks Xi for Pressuring Ethnic Armed Groups" www.irrawaddy.com/news/myanmar...
Xi, Kim and Putin are murderous dictators. The international media should not act as though they are statesmen
Candace Chong is the playwright of "May 35th". Some time back, there was a video version on YouTube. I can't find it now but have found this teaser trailer for performances of it at the Southwark Playwright last year.
Director of Government Logistics Carlson Chan, perhaps about 6 months too late, has sent a memo to staff urging them to “heighten their alertness” and conduct due diligence to prevent potential fraudulent acts. www.scmp.com/news/hong-ko...
Finally, we’ve been waiting on this ruling! Yet another illegal action by Trump. Now get them out of D.C. and keep them out of Chicago! A federal judge in California found that Trump crossed the line when he sent about 5,000 Marines and National Guard troops into Los Angeles during
Mutually? Unilaterally? Hmm… I do still agree with the quote.

Go, go into the light…! 😳
Should we be er… grateful? that their rewriting of history is done in the open like this for all to see? Nah, fuck them.
BTW the SCMP had 2 journalists "disappeared" in Beijing while Bloomberg has had the Hong Kong work visa applications of 2 rejected. One of these was a visa extension for a journo who had worked in Hong Kong for 6 years while she was 8 months pregnant; the other was arrested in Beijing!
In a move that is sure to shock no one, a judge has ruled that Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to LA was illegal. As a retired National Guard member told our friends at @revealnews.org in June, Trump's co-opting of the military is putting our democracy in extreme danger.
Bravissimo!!!
B-But… he wasn’t done with his training?!
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

WWII ended 80 years ago today, as Japan surrendered on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
‘In June this year, (Candace) Chong spoke out about the damage caused to the arts and culture by the Hong Kong government’s campaign against “soft resistance.” It now appears that Chong herself has become a victim of that campaign’.

Someone should tell him the Nobel committee is willing to change the rules to award the prize posthumously
“The 23-year-old man, surnamed Wong, was granted bail at noon on Sunday, police said, following his arrest on Friday night on suspicion of obtaining property by deception.” Bail?! BAIL?!!! He has money for bail?!!! Did his DAB bosses ask for leniency and clemency? He’s a fucking REPEAT offender.

Oh dear Kemi. That’s a ridiculous lie. Medicine is not offered at undergrad level at Stanford. Nor do they offer partial scholarships. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
All I'm going to say is that plenty of ppl convicted of protest-related charges who expressed genuine remorse, had lots of family, friends and colleagues vouch for their good character and didn't actually hurt anyone still went to jail.
Hmmm… “No me da igual” =/= I don’t care. It actually means “it doesn’t not matter”… but it’s not equivalent to saying “it matters”. “Me da igual” = It doesn’t matter to me, or “whatever…”
Every time this bloody indecent idiot’s name is Googled, that video will be seen again and again… forever.
B-But TVB is surely preparing a 10-part docuseries to celebrate proudly next May’s 60th Anniversary of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of The Most Glorious Socialist Motherland… right? RIGHT?!!! /s

Just as long as the students learn that it wasn’t the Commies and PLA fighting the Japanese at all…
🇭🇰 🥵 38.4°C recorded at Sheung Shui today is the hottest temperature recorded at the station in September since records began at the station in 2004.

It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️
A reminder that there are only 257 days until China proudly celebrates and commemorates the 60th Anniversary of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution… The countdown to all the nationwide celebrations is on!
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires. When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.
This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.

A reminder the national security law which Beijing imposed on Hong Kong on June 30th, 2020, was said to not be retroactive.
And wearing their stab-proof vests and acting like they are the ones in danger rather than the ones who endanger.
Then the 3rd picture. To see the denial of access to medics in real time by the police was heart breaking. @cheesindave.bsky.social pics also show more of the incident. To all my friends in & of Hong Kong. Haven't & won't forget you, nor the desire for self determination, freedom of expression.
The impact of the attack on Hong Kongers was immense, trust & faith in the police & the MTR was destroyed. One of the entrances became a shrine of mourning. Flowers covered the whole entrance. 6 years later there is a police operation ongoing to prevent commemoration of the event at the station.
Many of us saw this on live stream in real time or shortly afterwards on video shared on social media. As well as the attacks. Resulting on all of us experiencing/suffering collective trauma. Six years on, even writing about this makes my heart beat really hard and ache. Never forgive...
BTW, next Sunday there are Election Committee Subsector By-elections (that’s a mouthful!) for those who——- for a tiny fucking minority. Elections in Hong Kong after 2019 are a joke. (*envelope was seen at a relative’s home)

Great achievement to aspire to, to be remembered by students you taught decades ago… Not to be “normal”!

Fun fact: I have the edition in the lower left hand corner. And if you've never read it, I think you should. After growing up with the Universal Pictures/Karloff iteration of the Creature, it was refreshing to experience the original tale. On top of that, it's a top-notch read.
I can hear Mark Mancina’s music just seeing that first frame…
#Indonesians are pissed at the disconnect between the people/elites. Protests stems from when one of the elected officials stated "don't compare benefits of politicians with that of the peasants". Final straw was when police killed a delivery driver for no reason. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
