I think it's hubris for anyone in any sector to be saying stuff like this at the moment, as things develop as quickly as they are, and Affleck's clearly thick in persuading himself as much as anyone else.

How it started vs. how it's going: the rise (and fall?) of Zhengzhou’s viral yè qí (夜骑) trend: thousands of students cycling 40+ miles to Kaifeng overnight, capturing the spirit of China's youth and sparking national conversations about the impact of these kind of movements.


It's my first day paying for Claude – it's an AI multipurpose tool, before you get the wrong idea – and already it's telling me to be more sparing with my questions or I'll use up all my tokens. I mean, WTF?


Thailand should take the entire year off and just spend it! If there's anywhere that could pull if off, it's Thailand.

THIS JUST IN: The Thai cabinet has declared the following days as special public holidays: - Monday, June 2, 2025 - Monday, August 11, 2025 - Friday, January 2, 2026 This is to allow long weekends in an effort to encourage travel and spur the tourism economy.

So Regina Ip, who played a central part in the trashing of the Sino British Joint Declaration, can come to Britain. But not former President Tsai. 🙃

This video is pretty embarrassing, RT if you agree that we need to restrict Albanese’s access to social media

We're making 16 years old the minimum age for social media. Here's why.

Another one from Stuart Hirst (b.1950). If I recall rightly, once home to the shop of ‘Britain’s rudest bookseller’, who declared himself a man that didn’t “butter his parsnips” when dealing with members of the public 😂 The Market House, Hawes (Watercolour and Pencil)

An Inca revivalist movement – I have nothing against the Incas and think they got screwed by the Spanish – is just what we need right now.

Does anyone recall when half the news became Onionized?

If it's crossed your mind to vote Trump, put it on the back-burner, think about it for two weeks, and if you're still convinced it's the right thing to do, move on it, but take your time. All the best decisions in life happen on slow contemplation, deliberation followed by…
