Waiting for you in the Chestnut Tree Cafe, perusing my well-worn copy of The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism. Following the currents of China (Beijing), Japan, SE Asia, and U.S. news and politics.

With all that’s going on in the world, is this really newsworthy?

CNN, if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

Feels like it’s the standard β€œgo-to”.

Are they trying to cover it up or just trying to keep doing it?

Do they think people are stupid or do they just think people are biased? Whatever sliver of society still supports this isn’t doing that because of a failure to analyze. They’re making a choice.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

A hero sorely missed. A grateful people still inspired.

Insight: How billionaire Jack Ma fell to earth and took Ant's mega IPO with him They say talk is cheap. Tell that to Jack Ma.

It is. Gotta do it anyway. Do it until it isn’t a PITA. And if that doesn’t work… keep moving forward.

When I see a George Conway post, it’s a signal that I’ve accidentally been looking at the β€œDiscover” feed rather than the β€œFollowing” feed.

Canary in the feed shaft.

We all have a right to be angry at GOP voters -- that almost goes without saying. But I still maintain a special reserve of vitriol for people who can't be bothered to vote at all. They, by themselves, could have prevented this. They, by themselves, can stop this whenever they want to.

Low turnout. Voter suppression.

Pop some popcorn and watch anything else.

Looking forward to seeing the fake viewership stats. πŸ€”

The shit is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

Seriously, even on national security? This is demonstrative of how warped the entire debate/discussion has become.

Wow. That’s messed up. What are you going to do as a US Senator, Amy?

We have others to give us updates and news, but there are only 100 Senators in the US Senate. What are you going to do? What are we going to do?

Surely FIFA isn’t embarrassed. FIFA has no shame. If it did, it’d act differently.

So you have 2 Democratic Senators that support ICE? I doubt that. If you do, say their names. Some open ended speculative bullshit doesn't help us. Tell us what you are talking about.

Canadian PM @mark-carney.bsky.social’s visit to China this week was a return to normal diplomacy, but not a normal relationship. Today all eyes are on the trade deals and de-escalation on electric vehicles and canola. More on that later.

Whether he passed the LSAT or not, he’s left me deeply impressed. First time I’ve seen a talking nutsack.

I really hope no one uses Grok’s new β€œundress” tools to flood Twitter with fake, sexualized images of real people like Kristi Noem, John Roberts, Karoline Leavitt, Elvin Musk, or those blonde ladies on Fox News. (Is there just one or more than one?)

That would be really wrong and unethical.

That’s called β€œmanning up”. It’s what you do after you kill an unarmed woman.

Release the fake medical evaluation showing Ross got bruised somehow now!

Yeah. She’s got some cleaning up to do. Hard to do it from Maui.

If you’re not building coalitions, you’re doing the enemy’s work.

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

You’d think they put this front and center on their website.
