A 12 hour ban and TT is back.
This is bad. You know why it's bad - state controlled media, emotional blackmail, Dumpfwashing...
Hell, I described it last night, only this time the situation has a twist:
The rest of the world are the neighbours listening to the chaos on the other side of the wall every night, and then it went silent, and we were worried but also kind of relieved that it had stopped. And just as we thought it was going to last...they're back. And we know that it's just going to get worse.
CRIIIIIPES.

Sydney Morning Herald: To Build Trust In The News, We Need A Trustworthy Watchdog
Not sure if this is a gift link, free article, or behind a paywall, but it's an illustration of one of the key problems with the world right now.
Information is power, but if you can't trust the information to be correct, then you're not in a strong position.

I'll post some positive stuff today. I think we're going to need it

Which, I guess, is par for the course in the zombie apocalypse.

But "suffering in anticipation" is horrifically apt. I just went down a rabbithole of "if the USA heightens its war against China, then a lot of ethnic Chinese (like myself) in both the USA and other countries are going to suffer a lot..."
It was not a pleasant thought. Well, none of this is.

Acabei de saber que o filho de um político brasileiro quer mandar os congressistas americanos proibirem um ministro do Brasil de entrar nos USA por ele ter proibido o pai desse cara de viajar para a posse. O x da questão é que esse homem (Bolsonaro) foi proibido de sair do país, pois ele está sendo investigado por crimes contra a democracia. Aliados a ele estão refugiados nos USA mesmo com mandados de prisão em aberto no Brasil. Um deles até está na posse do Trump.
Isso me assusta. Os USA não tem poder para proibir um ministro cumprindo seu papel de viajar a outro país só porque ele seguiu as leis.

I'm absolutely furious about it all. From start to finish. Such terrible bullshit politics.

It does at least make me feel like they are trying to really be non-partisan.
I don't think we're going to get much good news for the next four years. (sigh)
