Myanmar is sort of a test of whether a modern military can act as a gang that just rules an entire country through force and the threat of force, even when most of the country hates it.

#BREAKING: Two sources have said Hong Kong health authorities have determined China’s Sinovac vaccine is of no use against the Delta and Omicron variants, thus toughening control measures to minimise any chances of infection. About 40% of the inoculated population chose Sinovac.

China actually had the commander of the force that attacked Indian soldiers in 2020 be a torch-bearer in the Winter Olympics!
Damn.

@NateSilver538 I mostly think that on several issues the media is too far left to be useful to Democrats.
Like if Fox primetime was constantly talking about how we need to cut Social Security and Medicare, that would be "conservative media" but extremely electorally counterproductive.

Anti-Defamation League adopts the trendy new definition of racism. Then they're forced to backtrack when they realize their new definition doesn't apply to the Holocaust. jpost.com/diaspora/antis…

I actually agree with most of Apple’s concerns over side-loading.
I REALLY don’t want that, as I wrote last fall: marco.org/2021/09/13/fut…
But by refusing to yield on the IAP front, Apple is practically forcing regulators to act with a stronger hand and force side-loading.
Tim Schmitz @TimSchmitz
By demonstrating just how much power they truly hold, Apple is actually making the case for sideloading. It’s hard to imagine they don’t realize how much risk they’re creating for themselves, but I can’t think of another explanation. https://t.co/8hYDraEa5U
