Je parle surtout de culture et de politique, en particulier sur l'Asie de l'Est, mais ça peut varier en fonction de mon humeur. En pleine préparation d'une thèse qui parle de la Chine et de Taiwan.

INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

Le plan de la Heritage Foundation, le think tank réactionnaire derrière l’influent Projet 2025, pour « sauver l’Amérique » ? Détruire méthodiquement les droits des femmes et les cantonner au rôle d’appareils reproducteurs : « Less burnout, more babies ».
The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

On se la fait enfoncer de force dans le gosier, l'IA. On ne peut plus ouvrir un putain d'outil informatique sans un gros bouton se mette à clignoter pour faire moins bien que nous des trucs qu'on ne lui a jamais demandé.

Les derniers emails d'Epstein montrent qu'il a discrètement investi dans un des fonds de Peter Thiel, tandis qu'à Londres, son ami Peter Mandelson, plusieurs fois ministre travailliste, se démenait pour faciliter l'implantation de Palantir au Royaume-Uni.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’
Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

I hate to tap the sign but again: this is all made to make in-person education and access to knowledge transfer a preserve of the elite. Human education for the few, bots for the many.
We want to make sure tutoring isn't the preserve of a lucky few, but accessible to every child who needs it.

AI can help us do that.

Safe, personalised, one-to-one learning support to help every child achieve and thrive.

basically Xi genuinely thought that his initial purges in 2013-2015 of the military had made a difference, and then, quelle surprise! purging personnel without any outside oversight or actual reform doesn't fix the endemic corruption problems

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

Amazing moment on French TV. A French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy basically trying to intimidate her during Le Pen's trial for embezzlement - something they've done to other judges around the world.
