The future of HK: 1984 world

The omened future of HK had been long foretold in the year 1984 when the Join Declaration was signed between PRC and UK. WHY that year? CCP knew the BEST about the 1984 Orwellian world described in the famous novel within a communist dictatorship context. Did UK and the rest of the world read the omen?

The forgotten lesson is that no communist regime ever lives up to their promises. CCP never honour any autonmy promises to the Tibetans and the Uyghurs. The 'autonomy' promises were mirrages in the desert. Article 23 in HK os a mirror proudct of the Articles 17 for Tibet.

The recent case that involved a German Tibetan activitist could enter PRC and travelled freely but he was intercepted and interrogated by HK's Immigration before being deported revealed that CCP adopts a more stringent approach to HK than Tibet. The hawks and hardliners within CCP are eager to isolate HK. It is how they want to show the REAL intention about Taiwan if they use military forces on Taiwan AS WELL AS other countries. PRC is proactively behind Russia's invasion of Ukraine because both Putin and Xi are hawkish hardlining nationalistic communists who proactively seeks to seize back their 'lost glory' from the fall of the Berlin wall.

The rapid passing of Articles 23 in HK were the official last nail that sealed the coffin of HK as signal of ending of Deng's era. In Xi's eyes, the Western world is once again the 'evil foreign powers' that 'obstruct' the rise of PRC in the heated political and economic competitions in the global geo-monopoly games.

That other guy would fuck it up so that you made macaroons instead of macrons

They're approaching menacingly with a bag of shreaded coconut

now see that would be quite interesting, and definitely be making the most out of the use of time travel

also if someone goes that far, then they absolutely deserve the chance to ruin my macarons lol

back in 2017, nico wrote an article for the players' tribune detailing his experience in the draft. i recommend reading the whole article, it's very short and sweet

It's funny to me when people try to use 'Taxman' against George because he wrote that song when he was 23 😂. Being disappointed that the government takes a portion of your first serious paychecks is an universal experience and George so happened to make a song about it.

Random biographer: George Harrison preached about the material world in his fifties but he also wrote Taxman 🧐. So contradictory.

unnamed toba sauropodomorph - titanosaur(?) - early cretaceous

only known from a few partial leg bones and four caudal vertebrae, this mysterious fella was found in toba, japan! the only information ive been able to find about the lad (apart from its appearances in the fossil fighters franchise) is a paper written by yukimitsu tomida and yoshihiro tsumura discussing the discovery and structure of the bones, as well as postulating the fossils belonged to a titanosaur! assuming it is a titanosaur, its quite possibly the largest dinosaur ever found in japan.

higher resolution version and a link to the paper under the cut!

I’m wondering how many people have seen the original context in which DJenks first identified Izzy as a father-figure to Ed. Because I feel like it’s not great.

To kill a character is such a big thing, even in a world that is this violent. We had to do justice to Izzy, and to that relationship between he and Ed. There is a nice parallel to have Ed treat him so badly at the beginning of the season and then come all the way around to where Izzy is this sort of father figure he doesn’t want to lose — because Ed usually kills his father figures.
