“All of Lebanon must burn” Free Press writer: I’d gently push back on the idea that this is extreme

An official investigation report released by the local emergency management bureau in Yueyanglou district of Yueyang, Central China’s Hunan Province, has laid bare a catalogue of grave safety breaches at a commercial shooting range, stemming from a catastrophic accidental discharge in July 2023 that claimed the life of a 17-year-old part-time range safety instructor. The report also outlines proposed criminal charges against two individuals and sweeping administrative penalties targeting the non-compliant venue. globaltimes.cn/page/202606/13…

No mention of the 168 children that were killed when they bombed an elementary school on the first day of the war. Liberals keep dismissing the lives of Iranian children just like they’ve spent years dismissing the lives of Palestinian children.

I disagree that we are in a "New Cold War". Rather, we are in a continuation of what we might call the Long Cold War, or the Great Anti-Sovereignty War, which has been waged by the imperial core against liberation movements and sovereign-seeking states in the periphery that have sought to break from their subordination and exploitation within the imperialist world-system. The Long Cold War encompasses Western attacks against the Russian revolution and the Chinese revolution, through the long series of invasions and regime-change operations that targeted Korea, Guatemala, the DRC, Brazil, Ghana, Indonesia, Vietnam, Chile, Burkina Faso, etc, continuing well beyond the fall of the USSR with the invasions of Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc., all the way to the strangulation of Cuba and the invasions of Venezuela and Iran in 2026. As I see it, the usual claim that the Cold War runs from 1945-1991 doesn't work, the periodisation is wrong. The core states sought to destroy the USSR as soon as it was founded, long before 1945, and in any case their violence was never only just against the USSR, or just against USSR-aligned states, nor even just against socialism; it was fought against any sovereign-seeking state in the periphery - including non-aligned states - that threatened to escape the imperial arrangement. The Long Cold War is, in other words, an imperialist backlash against the long struggle for liberation in the periphery. This aggression didn't end in 1991, it continues today, and it will continue well into the 21st century until it is defeated. And defeated it will be.

Wish there was someone on my mom's side I felt safe talking to about researching to rebuild our 家谱 that my grandfather burned, but everyone is so gossipy I don't think anyone can keep a secret 😩

The Dragon Boat Festival, or Duanwu, falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month (June 19 this year). Its signature tradition -- dragon boat racing -- dates back over 2,000 years. Today, the race reflects teamwork, courage, and perseverance, while also serving as a cultural tradition and global sport that brings communities together.

To the pos dirt biker who roars down our street every goddamn morning, I wish you a lifetime of expensive mechanical problems with your pos bike 😤

A shrimp-like figure wearing a layered ruffled skirt has sparked widespread discussion online, drawing renewed attention to a centuries-old Chinese painting. 🦐 The character appears in Raising the Alms-Bowl: The Conversion of Hariti the Mother of Demons, a work now housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the United States. Although the painting is often attributed online to Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) painter Qiu Ying, the museum currently identifies it as a Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) work and notes that the attribution remains unconfirmed. The painting depicts the story of Hariti, a demoness who later repented and became a protector of children. The shrimp figure is one of several fantastical creatures portrayed as helping her recover her son. #CulturalJourney

Living in China ruined things for me — no other country has really competed. Here are two of them: 1. 🚅 Public transport In major cities, trains every 2–7 minutes, almost always on time, with multiple lines across the city that make sense. In Melbourne, you have to go into the city just to change lines and go back out again 😂. Intercity rail is even better — up to 350km trains between most major cities. Flights are overrated, if not redundant. 2. 🛵 Deliveries Anything you want, delivered basically any time of day or night. This is the true killer, the amazing feeling of getting 羊肉串 (spicy lamb sticks) delivered at 1am (not for my weight 🫠). Delivery fees are often 5 yuan or free with offers. In Australia, you can easily pay $10 just for delivery alone. I remember we bought something in the morning on 淘宝 (Taobao — online shopping) and it arrived in the afternoon 😐. In Australia, you're lucky to get it the same week haha. After a while, you take it for granted… until you leave. Thanks China 🇨🇳 Also… I hate you ♥️

The world's largest single-unit concentrated solar power (CSP) plant in terms of thermal energy storage capacity and mirror field area, the 350-MW Golmud demonstration project, started construction on Tuesday in an industrial park in Golmud, northwest China's Qinghai Province. Featuring a total mirror field reflective area of 3.7 million square meters, the project is expected to generate up to one billion kWh of electricity annually, equivalent to cutting CO2 emissions by 860,000 tonnes per year.

WHO EARNS MORE? OPENAI? OR YOU? The answer, of course, is you. OpenAI loses more than a billion dollars a month. In terms of earnings, you are WAY AHEAD and will be for years. (Just wanted to give you a moment of positivity!)
