"When the rich rob the poor it's called business, when the poor fight back it's called violence"
Poster spotted in Brunswick, Melbourne
Due to the fact that Ricky Gervais' jokes could be just as unjustifiably offensive as those told by conservative comedians, I was hesitant to click it when I saw his face on the cover.
After all, last time I clicked to check one of alt-right entrepreneur Nishimura Hiroyuki’s recent tweets insulting antiwar activists in Japan, Twitter decided I might love to join his young and right-leaning followers, and started to torture me with notifications about his new tweets for a whole fucking month.
This time I clicked anyway...
U.S. Police kill more than 1100 civilians annually—unprecedented in the developed world.
A new app called TurnSignl, built by Black civil rights lawyers, deescalates police interactions with civilians & get everyone home safe.
Here's how it works.
1. Download the app
2. When pulled over by police, face time a lawyer on demand via voice activation. The call is also auto recorded
3. The lawyer guides the convo.

[台灣高等教育產業工會] 【大學快報第367期】臺灣書院,華語戰略?別鬧了! https://www.theunion.org.tw/2022/12/【大學快報第367期】臺灣書院,華語戰略?別鬧了/
Hate to see journalists on their knees in supplication to Musk, begging him to not be so mean to them. The implication is that if he reverses course -- restoring accounts of reporters he doesn't like, and links to the competition -- all will be well.
This totally ignores reality. He has demonstrated again and again that lies and deceit are tools of his trade.
Journalists, please get out now, or soon. Don't help him.
Taiwanese people:
Easily triggered when being called Chinese, but cannot care less when the distinctions between Persians/Arabs or Bamar/Lao are explained to them in plain language.
Virtually unable to put themselves in someone else's shoes. Well-mannered and self-centered at the same time.
Are they easy to get along with? Yes. Do I enjoy their company? No.

所以說嘛,搞了半天,我想要欣賞黑色餅乾一夜限定的復活演出,終究還是得先聽完一狗票傑尼斯男團的垃圾音樂,才等得到天野南原徐若瑄上台不是嗎?這划算嗎?

屁話講了半天,意思就是「為了不讓國民黨或民眾黨漁翁得利,在野陣營監督政府的力道須以不致動搖民進黨的長期穩固執政為限」。
亞洲國家的知識份子高論,經常都是這副沒出息的嘴臉,整天替所謂的民主預設一堆類似的不合理前提,在朝的你懶得監督,但一天到晚給在野的穿小鞋,日本如斯韓國如斯中國如斯新加坡亦如斯,台灣同樣無法倖免。
難怪貧富懸殊無解。難怪人權淪喪無盡。
其實啊,民進黨跟國民黨,除了國家認同跟國族意識相對立,絕大多數的立場跟主張都重疊,只是兩群分別守護資產階級不同陣營既得利益的孿生右翼罷了。lesser evil 誠然要比 greater evil 來得好,但請問 lesser evil 真的 good enough 嗎?標準放這麼低,真的 ok 嗎?
也正是這種舔資媚權階級盲的評論家,格外熱中於指導別人怎麼當個忠誠的在野黨;可不可以請你們另行培養其他更具公益色彩的嗜好啊?譬如打高球或打麻將之類的。拜託。
「宮台という言論人が襲われ、大けがをしたことは決して許されることではない」
https://mainichi.jp/articles/20221201/k00/00m/040/274000c
…「言論人に対する傷害だから」許されない、ということ?
じゃあ、「非言論人に対する傷害」なら罪は軽いのだろうか?
とても共感できない。
まだ犯人捕まってないし、動機が分からないのに、なぜ「言論封殺目的の犯罪」だと決めつけてるんだろうか。さっぱり分からない。
(そもそも宮台真司氏を「言論人」としてありがたがる発想が、まったく受け付けない。)
因此想到一樁間接相關的事:
上個月還是上上個月,某一集アメトーーク揭露了キャイ〜ン的兩人感情非常好,是那種上個通告剛錄完,兩人才分開沒 20 分鐘,天野就會接到鈴木打來的肉麻電話表達各種感謝跟關懷的如膠似漆程度。
都已經在演藝圈混了 30 年,這種情比金堅的程度真的太驚人了。
然後,徐若瑄重登日本小螢幕,見取り図的盛山應該很開心吧?大小姐要不要順便上個ヒルナンデス算了?反正是團長大人的地盤嘛。

Hate to say that but, similar news coverage full of this time-to-rejoice-and-overrate-ourselves-over-insignificant-stuff-again bullshit, which overshadows what really matters, has been all the rage here in Taiwan for quite some years too. Definitely not a coincidence.

I hate municipal elections in Taiwan.
Here in Taipei, every candidate across the political spectrum claims they will speed up demolition of old apartments and construction of new ones. But they all shun the fact that, after years of out-of-hand speculative real estate transactions, rents for new housing are now 60%~200% higher than what landlords are charging for aged properties, which have already been overwhelmingly expensive.
I am slowly forced into homelessness. My vote won’t save me.
If I had all the time in the world, weekly trombone lessons and daily ambidexterity trainings would make it all the way to the top of my to-do list. Finally.
