So this is why elon wanted to rush the IPO so bad... 🤔 China just did it cheaper on their first try. RIP 🔻

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

Absolutely ridiculous. He died of *cancer*, but the FT implies that he was killed for criticizing the government.

This is extremely irresponsible. Usually the FT's coverage is better than most of the Western media's, but when it comes to China, they all just spew propaganda.

Lukashenko has a clear understanding of China:

"I often tell my friends: the most striking thing about China is its composure. It never rushes, never overreacts, and never overplays its hand. It just keeps moving forward, step by step, toward its goals. 'Composure'—those four syllables sound simple enough, but they're incredibly hard to live by. When someone provokes you on the world stage, smears your name, or shows up at your doorstep with hostile intent, and you still manage to keep your cool and stay focused on your own development—that, to me, is real strength. This isn't diplomatic flattery. It's the conclusion I've drawn after 17 visits to China and decades of watching it closely. Even before the Soviet Union fell, I argued that we should seriously study China's development path."

"Unfortunately, we tore our own country apart—the Soviet Union—and now we're swallowing the bitter consequences: brother fighting brother. I lived through the collapse, and I've witnessed the post-Soviet era with my own eyes. I saw a superpower break into pieces overnight. Thirty years on, some of the former republics have tilted toward the West, others have been consumed by war, and former brothers-in-arms are now killing each other on battlefields. Countless families have been shattered, countless lives lost. Yet here is another great power—facing similar external pressure, dealing with its own internal challenges—and China hasn't lost its footing, hasn't turned on itself, and has simply stayed the course at its own pace."

"Sending my youngest son to study in China wasn't a whim. I'm entrusting my country's future—the hopes of our young people—to a path I genuinely believe in. I know that if you follow a steady hand, you won't fall into a ditch."

@TheFinalCall01 ... Its so easy to armchair successful communist victories 80 years later when your not the one doing the risks or sacrifice, and quite frankly insulting to the people at the time to do like the person who dismissively shared the "gonna be voting" video to insult people post war

[Keep it Left @KeepItLeft]

@TheFinalCall01 They yanks would have launched operation unthinkable and rearmed nazi pows before just folding to a communist insurgency. Any communist strong holds would have been carpet bombed and ussr supply lines would have been overstretched and going through Germany so open to sabotage...

@andyburnham Cowardice. Would you say this double tap strike on rescue workers and journalists — after an Israeli attack on a hospital — just “may” be a war crime?

Would you say the same if this was a Russian strike on Ukraine? If not, why not?

Harmful Bacteria cannot survive in water below 20C.

These 'data centers' are pumping out water at 45C.

It's the perfect temperature for growing huge amounts of deadly bacteria.

اگه تو اوج جنگ ایران و عراق، کسی به صدام می‌گفت: سرنوشتت تو عراق سیاه‌چاله و چوبه‌داره؛ اما رهبر ایران روزی در عراق و در میان انبوهی از مردم تشییع می‌شه، هیچ‌کسی باورش نمی‌شد.
عجب تاریخی رو داریم زندگی می‌کنیم...

[🇲🇽🇻🇪🇵🇸Bronx Anti-War 🇾🇪🇱🇧🇮🇶 @BXAntiWar]

it’s truly sad and disgusting that the western “pro-Palestine” movement still hasn’t atoned for celebrating regime change in Syria. no reckoning, no self-criticism, nothing. just moved on like it never happened and expects us to forget too.

[Communist Party ☭ @CPBritain]

Helen Crawfurd was a minister's wife who smashed army recruiting office windows with a hammer. She was jailed five times. She left the suffragette movement when its leadership chose the war over the vote and built a mass anti-war movement from the streets of Glasgow instead. She organised the rent strike that won protection for working class tenants across Britain.

She met Lenin. She joined the Communist Party and set up its Women's Department and never left. She ended her autobiography at seventy-odd years old with the words that the world is ours and we should go in and possess it.

That is not a woman who ran out of fight. Working class women have always been at the centre of the communist struggle in Britain, not at its margins.

The joke isn't the bin. The joke is pretending the man inside it is some random eccentric. Jonathan David Harvey is an Oxford-educated writer with three decades at the heart of the BBC comedy establishment, writing for programmes such as The Thick of It, Have I Got News For You and Yes Minister. He's won awards, been celebrated by the media, and is hardly an unknown outsider.
So let's stop pretending Count Binface is just a bloke who wandered into politics wearing a wheelie bin.
The costume is the gimmick. The career behind it is anything but.

(1) Bonfire in the British control part of our country. A society built on carefully fostered - over two centuries - of sectarian divisions now has a new layer added to it.
A lot of thought, time and effort went into both the building of the bonfire & the mosque.
