I sure hope so. The last thing China needs is a generation of liberals interrupting their progress

What’s funny is the author is Chinese and faculty at Peking University, but went to US universities up to the PhD level.

This still feels a touch biased – there’s no explanation of how China’s democratic process works, for example. But at least it admits that the system is working.

I don’t understand the appeal of Vtubers, but I’m also not obsessively attracted to anime women so I guess I’m not the target market.

This is the one I’m thinking of. Gotta be magic medial eyebrow growth in a week for those to be the same guy.

Edit: Also his nose bridge isn’t the same and the guy’s nose looks smaller than Luigi’s overall even behind the mask.

His wanting to be caught would answer several of my questions, but makes me question his motives and plans even more relative to what happened.

If he wanted to be caught, why even flee New York? Why visit multiple cities in Pennsylvania after leaving NY? Why use a fake ID at all?

Yep, he’s already been charged with 5 separate crimes in New York and at least two in Pennsylvania. It happened about 6 hours ago. That’s lightning-fast, isn’t it?

Less seriously: the media expect me to believe that Altoona Pennsylvania is a real place and some guy named Luigi Mangione isn’t a character from a mobster B-movie?

C’mon. No way those are real names.

If Trump manages to kill US dominance over the globe’s money through sheer stupidity, he’ll be the greatest president of the last century.

One thing I know for sure “expires”, chemically, is solid rocket propellant. Over time with exposure to moisture and oxygen it burns slower and less evenly.

This is even more stupid than Musk’s firing Twitter programmers that didn’t write “enough” code. Thus ensuring he fired the entire debug team.
