Finance ministry’s presser laid out 3 areas of fiscal support: local debts, bank capital & gov budget shortfall. Little abt consumption. Goal is to stabilize the economy as opposed to stimulating growth.

LOSING their minds. Truly.

Big disappointment from China, not only no stimulus announcement, no details on anything! Even cctv reporter was like “is there anything specific you can announce” and then answer was more generalities, saying we will implement third plenum decision. Flop after big pboc boost…

Senior government employees in Germany say they face intimidation for opposing their country's pro-Israel stance. “It's a climate of intense fear and intimidation that extends even into the family circle,” one civil servant told @karim_natour. More: https://t.co/ekRIaxwHcD

While I was in Cambodia I read a very interesting book on the history of attempts to map and manage the Mekong, which in turn led me to read Unruly Waters, which I just finished. The book is a fascinating history of modern attempts to manage rivers and water systems and..

Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost.

Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not?

Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not?

Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can?

None of this is coherent.

The Miss Korea competition asked the contestants "If the deepfake version of you is more attractive than you, how would you get rid of the gap between the deepfake version and you". This, their birth rate in the trenches, banning epidurals, yea Korea is COOKED.

Former CIA Director Leon Panetta calls Israel's explosive pager operation "terrorism" in an interview with CBS today:

"I don't think there's any question it's a form of terrorism."

"When you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question: what the hell is next?"

"The forces of war are largely in control right now of what's going on."
