So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”
you can say all you want about the KMT abusing an apologetic display but this loops around into endorsing 1950s Chiang era executions under the pretense of critiquing the contemporary PRC’s ills. Wu Shi was a revolutionary martyr dedicated to destroying your DPP’s hated foe lol
New Bloom has really given up on non-US-facing performances of leftism. Wu Shi was a Communist spy in…1950. he was a revolutionary hero who famously saved Ho Chi Minh from execution by the KMT in ‘42. real acrobatics condemning his killers for apologizing

For unknown reasons, the translator ceased submitting any drafts in English and instead has switched to Hebrew
“fundamentally opposed”
I think that it is arguable that the ultimate goal of capitalism is disappearance of family, because family is based on relations of reciprocity and non-commercialization, both of which are fundamentally opposed to the spirit of capitalism.
Note that in most developed countries (the Nordics), the average household size is 1.2.

Delhi has deployed riot police to stop a protest against air pollution.
As the AQI touches 600 long before peak winter, the government is busy tampering with monitors with water sprinklers and beating up young mothers and students for fighting for clean air.
National disaster.
new Made in China Journal edition is out and the ToC is just fantastic, what a great publication. Fan Yang on "low altitude economy"/the drone bubble, Yukun Zeng on labor poetry, a bunch of pieces on hydropower, hippies, village basketball.

Another Chinese film festival shutting down due to government pressure, except this time the festival was physically happening in New York
When a Chinese filmmaker screens their work in New York while their family back home must bear the weight of fear, such blatant intimidation goes far beyond the realm of cultural censorship — it is a blatant act of transnational repression under long-arm control.
Who is pulling the strings behind all this?
Who is afraid of being seen?
And who, ultimately, is afraid of cinema?
On November 6, 2025, a brief notice suddenly appeared on the ticketing page of IndieChina’s official website （indiechina.org/%e5%85%b3%e4%… ）— “The film festival has been canceled.”A few hours later, curator Zhu Rikun released a statement on the festival’s website, writing:“Given the current situation, anyone involved in the festival — whether directors, forum participants, peripheral collaborators, volunteers, or even audiences — may face threats or harassment. The festival involves countless participants and audiences, and their safety is my top priority at this moment.”
So, what exactly is this “current situation”?
According to Zhu’s own account on Facebook the day before, since October 30, his family in China had begun to experience harassment. Soon after, the tenant of his Beijing studio was also summoned by the authorities. Within just two days, directors began sending “voluntary withdrawal” emails one after another — some even demanded that all publicity related to their films be taken down.
Filmmakers long based in the United States, Europe, and Africa, as well as forum guests and post-screening hosts, saw their relatives in China called in for questioning by the police.The redlines of censorship stretch across oceans and borders, reaching precisely those who still had the slightest connection to “China.”
Worse still, the screening venue in Manhattan, New York, received an anonymous letter of complaint.The sender, claiming to be “a group of Chinese students living in New York,” accused the festival of misrepresenting the realities of contemporary China and urged the venue to cancel the screenings.And as for who was truly behind all this — the answer, needless to say, is obvious.
this is literally the definition of ideology? libtard. yea they dont feel the need to cite any particular exceptional pretense for doing so, the right to settle is the implicit logic that informs everyday existence in the Zenetity
