Okay let’s get down to business

#Mulan Image
It’s clear that the hordes’ ability to run directly up vertical walls is what made the Great Wall irrelevant #Mulan
Jason Scott Lee can still get it #Mulan ImageImage
I appreciate that they include the “two rabbits running side by side” reference from the original Chinese epic Ballad of #Mulan
Maybe she’s born with it
Maybe it’s Maybelline

#Mulan Image
Do itttt
#Mulan Image
Mushu?

They had showers in the Northern Wei dynasty?
#Mulan
Brokeback Mulan

Apparently having chi makes you stink

The Force is strong with this Mulan

When she lets down her hair her midichlorian levels skyrocket

#Mulan Image
No chancellor or vizier should ever be trusted tbh

#Mulan
What is up with the whole Bedouin ninja thing

#Mulan
Jet Li is still Jet Li even older and with bad facial hair and uh I think they dubbed in his voice

#Mulan
“A girl”

“a WOMAN”

#Mulan
Kiss her come on

I’m a little freaked out by the way the director inserted what feels like inexplicably unnecessary Christian imagery into this remake...the Son of Heaven crucified on the tomb to his father, the Phoenix angel wings on Mulan.

#Mulan
This, tho ❤️
@MingNa #Mulan Image
“Devotion to family” is the fourth virtue? Huh.

#Mulan
Very curious to know who would win in a Rey vs Mulan duel, regular weapons no light sabers

#Mulan
So I have a whole mental rewrite of #Mulan that I’m not going to share until we record our @TheyCallUsBruce reaction podcast tonight. That is all.

And after massive protests, Xi suddenly rolls back Zero Covid policy with the standard “oh the virus has evolved/our policies have worked” stuff that govs everywhere have done. What are the “Xi can’t possibly pivot or lose face!” maximalists thinking now?
nytimes.com/2022/12/08/wor…
I would’ve thought it would come with a massive vax push but Xi clearly thinks he has power firmly enough in hand that he can shake off whimsically ending a despised public health mandate—and the millions of deaths that will likely follow
What do you think, @Noahpinion? He just Xi’d it away

A gift of @ewarren’s Op-Ed in the @nytimes, in which she gives smart, sound, detailed advice on what Dems should do now that we’ve held the Senate. Sharp analysis on how progressive ideas won voters over, and going further will win more, per her brand.

Curious what part of

—reverse Trump tax giveaways to wealthy
—cut housing and child care costs
—end gerrymandering
—protect abortion rights as kitchen table issue not ideologically
—focus on economic well-being of families
—embrace populist economic policies

you disagree with.
Based on your timeline most of these seem to be things you’d support? Or am I wrong

When the driver of the car decides to play chicken with a police cruiser
It’s a good thing @SenMarkey has no ability to impact my newly acquired social media busi— whoops!

Well at least my satellite broadband startup is oka— dammit

Oh well, I’ve still got my thriving electric transportation company— D’OH ImageImage
No, people in positions of power never abuse them by harassing those who are at the mercy of their authority

If anyone, ANYONE doubted that Trump's 2024 campaign (which is surely coming, now more than ever) was going to lean hard into China-bashing and inflaming anti-Asian xenophobia, stop doubting.

Also, Trump is a racist, that much is plain.
Kind of makes me wonder how newly re-elected Republican congressmember @YoungKimCA feels about her soon-to-rise-again racist overlord ImageImage
Also has anyone told Donald Trump that “young” and “kin” are both actually words in English Image

Lara Logan was CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent from 2006–2018
I continue to feel sorry for her assault but questions about her journalistic ethics began well before that and then erupted with her Benghazi coverage.

But now who knows how deep Qanon has its claws into her.
It’s quite possible, but it is absolute garbage that Newsmax is trotting her out there while trying to guide her to a coherent on message right wing talking point. Then again I’m sure they’d throw Kanye out there to spout unmedicated antisemitism if he were available.

Pence is no hero for not criming Trump into office, just like Romney and six other GOP senators are no heroes for voting to impeach him and Liz Cheney is no hero for helping investigate a deadly insurrection

But the bar is just so low for Republicans now—we celebrate Team Normal
The truth is of course that the Republican Party will never be normal again. When no more than a token handful of its members are even willing to *investigate* a massive existential crime against democracy, it’s clear it is beyond hope. And this just the most egregious evidence.
The GOP is a party that refuses to acknowledge the clear and present threat of climate change to the humans species

That won’t act to reign in guns even as kids are murdered week after week

That lets its members flout rules and overtly embrace white nationalism without censure
