Do Hong Kong universities have mandatory units in Marxism/Xi Jinping Thought as they do on the mainland?

New Pocket: now with blockchain and AI.

The executions will continue until competence improves

What was he doing in a NATO country in the first place? Sounds like the authorities were asleep at the wheel.

AIPAC have issued a statement: “he’s an antisemite, but he’s our antisemite”

The Nationals can now go back to their roots as a farmers’ party. Though they seem more interested in railing against solar/wind power and promoting coal (“nuclear power, to be ready in a generation’s time”). Maybe they’re angling for Clive Palmer to buy them out?

The Liberals were originally a broad church, with its most salient feature being that its members were more likely to own property. The more socially moderate members (sometimes referred to as “wets”, a term borrowed from the British Tories) started dwindling in the long Howard era (1997-2007 and 2011-2022 or so) when the party pivoted to Murdochian culture-war conservatism, and eventually lost almost all their historic seats in wealthy suburbs, while outer-suburban party branches were taken over by religious groups (pentecostals and Mormons, IIRC)

IIRC, some of the Microsoft ones were designed by Susan Kare (who previously did the Macintosh icons).

Last year, you could not hear boos when Israel entered, but you heard some between the time the Greek flag (which is the same colours) was seen and Greece was announced, which seemed telling.

“The Left” here being anyone who’s not an arsehole.

Finally, an iPhone with the made-in-America build quality of the Cybertruck.

…for the next 18 years?

There’ll soon come a day when the C-suite officials of unpopular companies are only referred to by their initials, like the heads of spy agencies.

Time to Switch 2 a Steam Deck.

The inability to roll windows up into just the title bar, or to get Firefox to place each of its windows on the same virtual desktop as before, are major annoyances. Otherwise, Wayland runs better than I expected.

The Canadian part can hold all the “woke” books (actual histories of the Civil War, books on immunology/germ theory, anything by LGBT or PoC authors, anything about WW2 that might hurt a Nazi’s feelings) and hold drag queen storytimes, leaving space in the US part for lavishly bound AI-generated memoirs by right-wing talking heads that nobody actually reads, but that exist solely to launder payment through book sales and self-help books that advise you to drink bleach.

This is my surprised face.

If there was any justice, Aaron Swartz’ ghost wouldn’t let him have a moment’s rest.
