It seems there was yet another attempt of suppressing Taiwan at the AFC Women's Asian Cup in Australia, when the performance of a Taiwan indigenous group was abruptely canceled for "political reasons", but finaly went on after negotiations led by Taiwanese diplomats.
Incredibly illuminating to compare income and hours worked across countries and states for ***the bottom 95% of earners only***. The typical Belgian earns as much as the typical Californian but works about 24% less

In the Second launch the rocket actually carried PARUS-T1A by TASA.
If this launch is successful, Taiwanese companies could have more options and closer launch provider to work with in the near future.

The print edition of @economist.com is weekly—but there's often more than one cover. Different regions, different stories. In 2025, we published 81 in total. Here they all are—and how each one came to be: www.economist.com/interactive/...
1/2) As fascist, (using traditional description) totalitarian state capitalist regime, CCP oppresses & controls every aspect of citizens lives. Only difference between Trump regime & Xi/CCP is that US regime hasn’t completely succeeded (yet) & folks can protest & we can still see takeover process.

On the situation in #Venezuela - lots of booms, lots of videos, not much verified info. Remember, in any military operation, first reports are always wrong. Will see in an hour or so where we are, and whether there are any statements/releases from the Pentagon (or anyone else).

A map quilt showing various maps of Rhode Island.
The #30DayMapChallenge is a wrap! I made a map quilt of my favorite Rhode Island maps from the challenge. I had to resize a few of them to get them all to line up. Had I planned this in advance, I would have alternated between light and dark maps.
