33·6 days agoKnown for espousing antisemitic tropes,[11][12] Sima’s Weibo channel spread the notion that Jews colluded with the Empire of Japan to establish a Jewish homeland in mainland China during the Second Sino-Japanese War in what has been termed the Fugu Plan.[13]
In August 2022, he admitted to buying a house in California. This made him a target of widespread ridicule, with commentators saying “being anti-American is work, living in America is life” (反美是工作、留美是生活).[14] For unknown reasons, he was blocked in Chinese social media in August 2022.[15] His accounts were later reinstated on 27 August.[15]
On 4 July 2023, he attended the American Independence Day dinner hosted by the US Embassy in China where also met with US Ambassador to China R. Nicholas Burns. Sima’s attendance of the dinner was mocked by Chinese social media users who accused him of being hypocritical, as the day before the event he had criticized the US proposal to provide Ukraine with cluster bombs during the Russian invasion as “an act against humanity.”[16]
I mean, he sounds like a provocateur, probably looking to heighten tensions between the two powers. Antisemitic at that. Also, support for Donald Trump under the guise that he’ll be better for China? The best outcome for China is (somehow) becoming a partner with the US economically and having friendly relations. Problem there is neither party wants that. Under Trump, tensions will continue to be heightened between the two but also internal tensions in the US will also accelerate. Maybe this is what he means when he says Trump is good for China, but that’s a very nationalistic sentiment.
If you want to stop the spread of far right nationalism in your country this is one way you handle it. In America, we put far right nationalism on the same level as every other political thinking, except for left thinking, especially left economic thinking, which we demonize.

16·8 days agoThis whole talk about “Shift” in voting doesn’t make any sense to me if republicans had less turnout then they did in 2020. Do we have data on how many new republican registrations there were vs democrats? Do we have data on democrats who voted republican this cycle? Dems had 13 million less votes this time around, where did those people go? Isn’t this “shift” actually just a reflection of that 13 million less democrats? What about those who abstained, what about those who voted 3rd party? Shift seems to imply that Dems are becoming Republicans, which could actually be that Dems are becoming non-voters or 3rd party voters.
Really sucks this guy is a chud when they have some valuable reporting…
2·14 days agoMost corporations are not going to do that because they often standardize around products with known solutions for management that come with service guarantees. No one wants to support a small fleet of aging hardware running an os outside the dominant platform.
Oof, I wonder if I could remain as cool as that dad in this moment. What a wild fucking thing to do to a strangers 3 year old…
5·23 days agoAgreed.
4·23 days agoThey won’t even count it and it won’t even show up on results. The most you’ll get is some vote counter to exhale sharply when they read it.
Always enjoy a Dick Wolf video.
6·24 days agoOh yup you are right
Looks like they beat the greens in Idaho in 2020.
Also, I hate to be that guy, but we have another election coming up in 2 years so get ready for that, oh and 2 years after that, we have another election, and two years after that, and two years after that, and two years after that…
The Donald Duck episode looked like it could be a fun novelty. I haven’t watched it. Seeing this now really feels like their jumping the shark.
Like, what I saw of the Donald Duck episode seemed really heavily scripted. The thing that makes the show is watching these people try and think under pressure. I really doubt they capture that honest reaction here, I doubt they flew the voice actors out to eat the wings while trying to improvise as the characters.
I have early voted and thus I am freeeeee!
Who were the 52? It should be illegal to write articles like this without naming and shaming all of them.
