  Any serious government would have slipped some polonium into his tea a long time ago.

  Musk may be more meritocratic than one would imagine. The term meritocracy was coined as a parody of the British class-based education system where children of the rich and powerful always just happens to have the most merit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweden says China denied request for prosecutors to board ship linked to severed cables⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The ship had been anchored in international waters for weeks, pending a diplomatic resolution. They didn’t have to do that, the ship had every right to continue it’s journey and Nordic authorities had no right to stop it. However, China decided to show good will and negotiate a resolution.

  The agreement between China and the Nordic countries was clear: Chinese authorities would inspect the ship and talk to crew with Nordic representatives being invited as inspectors but not allowed to take investigative steps. China didn’t have to do this but did it as a show of good will.

  And then the Swedes shows up with a prosecutor and think they can play cops and do as they please. And now they’re miffed about having to follow the terms they agreed to themselves mere hours before. The patience and restraint of China continues to amaze me.

  I feel like too few people truly grasps the body horror of teeth. Those fuckers are terrifying.

  When I’m reading the dinosaur book with my four year old they always point at the brachiosaurus and say that it’s me, so that’ll be my favourite dinosaur.

  Temu is not nearly as interesting for US oligarchs as TikTok. If they manage to steal TikTok, the tech oligarchs just have to run another app but if they steal Temu they suddenly have to deal with the logistics of shipping dirt cheap physical products to people.

  Isn’t most of this Chinese embassies reaching out to fugitives and taking them into going back home to have things sorted out?

  Do we know anything about what kind of crimes they’re on the run because of or what consequences they gave when they go home? I wouldn’t be surprised if most of it is really banale stuff.

  China should make a Radio Free Garden or something to broadcast real news into the west.
