So @TeamYouTube has just removed a @ChinaUncensored video we posted back in February criticizing the WHO’s response to the coronavirus. The video was about how the WHO uncritically praised China’s response, ignored Taiwan, and advised against things like travel bans. Our larger point in the video was that the WHO had been politically beholden to China for years, even before the coronavirus outbreak. We also talked about investigations into WHO financial corruption. Everything in the video was cited to media reports from AP, NYT, WSJ, etc.

At @OsloFF, Pete Pattisson talks about how Qatar is using imported slave labor from Nepal to build the World Cup stadium and other buildings. #OsloFF Pattisson says that the laborers are housed in squalid labor camps and barely paid. But that’s not what makes it slavery.

Ok, now I'm crying at work because of this video that artist Hua Yong made for his 3-year-old daughter singing her happy birthday before the police came to take him away. Hua Yong is a Beijing artist who's been fleeing from the police ever since he published videos showing how Beijing authorities demolished the houses of migrant workers.

Friend is reading Harry Potter for the first time. He suddenly realizes he's read a fanfiction Order of the Phoenix instead of the real one. Oh god, is this what it feels like when a tweet goes viral.
