This season of ANDOR, fans get to witness how Character struggles with the consequences their commitment to the cause has on their personal wants, while on the other side of the galaxy Character has to reconcile their commitment to the cause with their personal wants, all the while Character deals with the tragedy of their commitment to the cause stopping them from achieving their personal wants

I like how 吗 works because sometimes you are halfway through saying something when you realize it should be a question, and then you have to hit a quick time event to change your tone of voice to indicate it. In Chinsese you can just slap that bad boy at the end and no one will even know you are barely sentient enough to communicate.

What really fucks me up about the news stories presenting Falun Gong as peaceful practitioners of meditation persecuted by the Chinese state is that they have to know it is a cult, right? Like, if they are interviewing a regional manager, they would probably look them up before and easily find out they believe some extremely cult stuff, like just meditating instead of taking your medicine. Yet they still choose to promote them to score some propaganda points against China, it's incomprehensibly evil.

There are very few things more jokerifying than seeing journalists use Falun Gong as a reliable source

He made two ardent communists, Raul and Che, his de facto second and third in command way before it was clear to the US that he was a communist, and while the guerrilla war was still dangerous enough that he could have died at any moment. This would be comically incompetent if he was some kind of liberal reformist.

There is no need to wonder, there is a link in the picture. It's 100 messages back and forth per day.

I wish people would stop using this particular video for an argument against AI in general, when what he is "utterly disgusted" about is the use of imagery of disability for horror, which is extremely common in horror that has nothing to do with AI at all. I'm sure he's also against generative AI, but this just feels cynical.
