"wow, this US politician is being really racist. a golden opportunity to highlight the worst of the US and emphasize China as the mature party! well, only one thing I can do here, hit the big button marked misogyny."
oh the full version's worse
lemme note that there's no way Chen does this before the wolf warrior era; he used to try and pose as a legitimate journalist/commentator.
let me also note that you can sing 'lifetime bitch' to the tune of 'uptown girl'

it's always good to be reminded that most believers of all religions basically practice a faith stitched together in their head out of folk and national custom, parental injunctions, and personal quirks.
A short thread on something I've been thinking about in the Crown: would the Queen, in 1984, have known and used the phrase 'friend of Dorothy?'
So, 'friend of Dorothy' (FOD) in the early 1980s - despite being a three decade or more old expression - was still not a widely known euphemism for gay men among straight people. Your average extremely conventional 58-year-old straight woman like Lizzie W. would not know it.
This is about the time, for instance, that the Naval Intelligence Service spends *months* looking for a woman called Dorothy that they believe to at the heart of a ring of gay servicemen. lgbtqnation.com/2019/10/surren…
A short thread on animal mourning, prompted by observing our remaining dog, Calvin, over the last month. Calvin is seven - half the age of Hobbes, our late dog. He first started following us when he was a stray in Beijing when we took Hobbes (and another rescue foster) for walks
He was clearly drawn to the idea of having a pack - or a family, which are the same thing for dogs. Hobbes was very accepting of him, though he never stopped insisting on his place as First Dog, despite being considerably smaller.
For the last six and a half years, then, they were apart for, at most, a few hours at a time. When they flew from China to the US together they shared a cage. They often sat on top of each other on the sofa, and they play-wrestled a few times a day.
People saying Hank Hill wouldn’t have voted Trump is just cope for their relatives doing so in reality.
Your dad/uncle who “believes in character” and “values humility” still voted Trump in 2016 and did so even more enthusiastically in 2020 after four years of denialism and Fox and Facebook posts.
In reality, people put aside their personal dislikes for group identity all the time.
I can't emphasize enough how *batshit crazy* Guo Wengui's GNews is. NSFW examples below.
"Mr. Hunter Biden, when you dicked teenage girls with your 9.5-inch penis all night long, did it ever occur to you that these girls could be left psychologically scarred for lifetime, even lifelong sterility or death?"
"On one hand he sold out the U.S. National Interests; on the other hand he absorbed the marrow of Chinese people. The 9.5-inch penis pierce through the souls of all the forces of justice. Now is the time for us to cut off 9.5-inch penis and Satan’s evil forces."
