French Embassy in Beijing (with AC blasting 24/7) lectures Chinese on Weibo:
"Air conditioning isn't the solution. Focus on emissions and adaptation~"
Meanwhile:
In France people fighting over Chinese ACs, elderly dying in heat
EU Commission in Brussels turns off AC on lower floors for low ranking staff, keeps it cool for senior officials
Some of you may die, but it’s the sacrifice I’m willing to make for the environment I guess. (Btw China does better in renewable energy without making their people suffer just saying)
Elite climate hypocrisy is truly refreshing.
Logros del capitalismo: crear un trillonario.
Logros del socialismo chino: sacar a 850 millones de personas de la pobreza.
No tengo nada más que decir.
The Devil Still Dances: Dead End
At the end of a misguided path lies only an abyss.
Within the span of a single month, a series of development has underscored the rapid advance of Japan's “neo-militarism”: an active-duty Self-Defense Forces member forcibly intruding into the Chinese Embassy with a knife, the destroyer JS Ikazuchi transiting the Taiwan Strait, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi offering ritual items to Yasukuni Shrine, and the Japanese government completing revisions to the Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology.
Since Sanae Takaichi took office last year, from erroneous remarks on the Taiwan question, to risky military moves, and onward to efforts aimed at constitutional revision, Japan's right-wing forces are moving at an unprecedented pace to strip away the facade of a peaceful nation, once again posing a serious threat to regional peace and stability.
The lessons of history are unmistakable. Looking back at Japan before and after the outbreak of World War II, Japan's militarist expansion was always accompanied by systematic deception and manipulation of its own people. In the end, the wars of aggression inflicted immense suffering on the region and brought devastating consequences upon the Japanese people themselves. Eighty years later, right-wing forces in Japan appear intent on repeating the same dangerous course, attempting to draw the country once again into the abyss of neo-militarism, repeating a path that harms both others and itself.
The Japanese people should remain highly vigilant. Japan's future does not lie in the perilous illusions promoted by the right-wing forces, but in a thorough reckoning with its history of aggression, in fostering friendly relations with its Asian neighbors, and in firmly upholding regional peace and development.

In the 1970s, German Chancellor Willy Brandt knelt in Warsaw to atone for his nation's WWII sins.
Japan has never offered a full apology to its Asian neighbours, while its PM still honours war criminals at #Yasukuni Shrine by paying visits or sending offerings.
When will 🇯🇵 confront its past with the same courage?
no shit, the Japanese person's reason to hate China is "my grandpa got shot in the leg in China when he was young". so Question time, why tf your grandpa was there in China? for vacation?
16 days and 4,000 kilometers later we crossed China. We ate like people in China, smoked like people in China, and spoke like absolute idiots never before seen in China.
This trip was harder than last years. Getting sick, navigating the magical 207, and failing to say the word hotel every night all the while referring to myself as “p*ssy burger” took its toll
I’m lucky to be able to do this cat line with Michael. It’s not easy to find someone you can spend everyday and every night without some tensions brewing- but I could hangout with that dude everyday until I die and never get sick of him.
A big thank you to my crew who are the only reason anyone was able to follow our journey and turn the hours of chaos into an actual series. Editors, translators, producers, fixers, assistants, designers, a dude named Li, and many more people are the reason tip2tip exists.
A special thanks to Cam, Dan, Alicia, Dave, Lucky, and Zhang Wei who followed us in an RV for 16 days <3
Finally, shoutout everyone in China the people there were unforgettably nice to two white colored foreigners riding motorcycles across China 🇨🇳😄✊

Good Morning America,
I don’t want to leave San Francisco but I have to if I want to LIVE.
San Francisco used to feel like the future. Now it feels like a cyberpunk dystopian social experiment.
Open air fentanyl bazaars from 7th to 24th trading the collective stolen property of California for the cheapest fentanyl in the USA, stepping over government issued crack pipes, used discarded needles, cess pools of blood, urine and feces, women giving birth on the sidewalk, stillborns in public toilets, people living in sewers, people jumping off buildings, the morgue overflowing, bodies dumped in the bay and the constant threat of The Big Earthquake that’ll probably just finish what the politicians started.
This sucks. How can I build a life for myself or start a family in this place? Not when fentanyl is showing up on the playgrounds and schools and all of the grocery stores are closing down and our local leaders want to give our kids gender surgery before they have even learned their ABCs and 123s… It’s all just one super Sam fucked up social experiment and I’m tired of the Soddom and Gomorrah hunger games.
We have judges who release criminals faster than DoorDash delivers, cops who are exhausted from arresting the same people 47 times a month and a library system that’s basically a daytime shelter for drug dealers and the mentally ill.
We have “activists” who scream about equity while ignoring the veterans sleeping on the street and the families fleeing the city because they can’t afford to live here anymore. We have dozens of secret societies and gentlemen clubs and yet nobody has the balls to fight to save San Francisco.
$2 for fentanyl? That’s cheaper than a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk and a gallon of gasoline.
San Francisco has reached terminal velocity in its economic collapse. When the a.i. bubble pops everybody will be screwed. Techys are being laid off because the ai and robots they built are replacing them and soon they will replace you and me too. The Full House days are long gone. It’s the Holodays and my Family used to go shopping at the mall in downtown San Francisco, I walked in Westfield yesterday and it was a Skelton Building and all the stores were closed like the Led Zeppelin song. It’s not just the mall, everywhere you look downtown are FOR LEASE signs. Between the humanitarian crisis and economic chaos. From the billionaire tech office to the third world conditions across the street. All of my senses are telling me that this is the epitome of human suffering and my once beloved City By The Bay has become a mecca for the destitute.
New York, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, etc. are all shipping their criminals, homeless and addicts on buses to San Francisco. I’ve seen these groups get off the bus and heard with my own ears them saying “You can do whatever you want in San Francisco, they don’t care about anything.”
The culture has shifted from peace, hope and love to steal, rape and murder.
All around downtown San Francisco are “Missing Women” flyers and there are news ones every week. Nobody is talking about that.
I go to get groceries and the store is being looted. Our grocery store is potted all day, every day. Nobody is talking about that. Even though all of our grocery stores are closing down.
Nice “AmericaFest 2025” in Arizona, I’m on the frontlines in the trenches of California in the far left Lion’s den the ultra blue democrat stronghold Dante’s inferno San Francisco.
I’m going somewhere I can wake up underneath the trees and watch the sunrise in peace where I don’t have to fear my door being kicked in or go to sleep to the sound of emergency sirens, where I can build a family, where I can actually contribute to something that doesn’t collapse every few months. Where the community actually appreciates my efforts and my energy isn’t wasted because of corrupt and incompetent leaders destroying everything I know and love.
San Francisco, I’ll always love you.
But it’s time for me to go…
