TACO! The 48-hour deadline is suspended. The threatened US military strikes on Iranian power plants are (for now) off the table. https://t.co/CVQogrCibp
@LPX2019 400 million barrels? That’s under 4 days of global use. Already? Oil prices have surged ~30% since the conflict began (taking into account the SPR releases), with oil over $100/barrel and gas exceeding $4/gallon all over the globe.
@GlobalMoney The post is misleading. Prof. Li (Military Commentator at China's National Defense University) quoted Iranian sources on a CCTV program. The Iranians had bragged about their ability to "destroy Israel in half an hour." It was NOT her prediction. She was quoting Iranians.
Everywhere you go in China, you will see the same Unitree robots doing the same thing… falling like dominos…
This is near Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Henan province on Feb 17…
China is complicated. You can't generalize. But? Old people do collect cardboard to take to recycling centers. And? To celebrate the New Year? Some fireworks are set off in cardboard boxes. And? New videos apparently show that competition for the boxes starts even before...
@BeePower8@Byron_Wan History? Ok. When Japan surrendered in 1945, Taiwan (Formosa) was handed over to the Republic of China (ROC) - the Nationalist government led by Chiang Kai-shek - not to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Note: The communist PRC didn’t exist until 1949. https://t.co/xCOmpuxuBc
One of the most thrilling aspects of Hong Kong is the sense of being inside a film like "Blade Runner". Unfortunately? These scenes are not fiction. 向香港人民表達支持和對美好未來的希望。
@nicksortor Sorry (not sorry) that you muppets are so awful at following the law. I get it. In your alternate reality, maybe this is what happens next…?
@VicentYip Islam + Christianity are “theistic religions”. Buddhism does not require belief in a creator god.
The goal of enlightenment (nirvāṇa)
does not require worshiping a deity that is better than your diety.
In mid-October 2025 a large landslide created a natural dam in Taiwan’s spectacular Taroko Gorge. The dam rapidly filled the marble canyon with Liwu River water. Now the dam has broken + the lake that suddenly appeared is just as suddenly disappearing. https://t.co/noEvYOfne2
