Never beating the scam industry allegation

RIP the last man in Washington with a full collar roll

Let’s see if Peet’s Coffee got an eye for talent

Rejected by Starbucks lol truly insane job market

I'm a big proponent for ties but if you are gonna match your tie to your shirt please just go without a tie thank you

"Many of the women stayed silent for decades, both out of shame and for fear of tarnishing the image of a man who has become the face of the Latino civil rights movement."

This is, unfortunately, common in my experience of working in advocacy.

Just want to point out that the most hilarious part is that all this time (one entire year) these federal workers have been receiving their normal salaries. Lake essentially forced them to go on a year-long paid vacation with tax payer money, which she said she came to VOA to save

Who's Mamadni's stylist lol the guy might be the only politician today who doesn't look greasy or dull in tailoring

Censorship Is Not Deterring Global Adoption of Chinese AI China tech watchers have quickly pointed that Chinese LLMs face an obstacle almost guaranteed to hinder its capability and potential to compete with similar Western products: censorship. But DeepSeek ...

Despite embedded censorship and tendencies to produce propaganda, China's AI models have remained popular around the world. In this @chinafile.bsky.social story, I explored why and how AI has become a form of soft power in Beijing’s tech competition with Washington. www.chinafile.com/reporting-op...

Okay enough of Noem’s headshots today guys please

We’re pretty squarely focused on translation now, but I do want to keep tracking this stuff to some degree, and this is a really interesting pairing:

The last WeChat post from the embassy to receive over 10,000 likes (Since Trump returned to White House) was a short disclaimer published in April clarifying that the embassy account had never deleted or filtered user comments.

I no longer put much weight on likes and shares when I look at a social media post due to bots and platform algorithms but bots are not a big issue on WeChat (ID requirement) and I would have a hard time believing the app was amplifying US embassy's posts to users

The US embassy in China usually gets mid to lower-hundred likes for each of its WeChat posts. Trump's statement on the death of Khamenei got over 10,000. (On the other hand, the same post didn't do particularly well on Weibo)

StateChat

Also was expecting a bit more depth from WSJ but it essentially reads like a puff piece

Now that it has reached mainstream media I hope this trend can now die thank you

Somebody please ask Arthur Liu what he thinks of the comments below so we can finally have an answer to our much speculated question

Yeah it’s content at the end of the day. It gets him views and fame and gets people talking about him which is always good for a streamer

A lot of his videos are just him telling stories about his time in America and what America is like. Kill line was just the content that got him super popular in China

Kill line is about how fragile the American social safety net is that many middle class people are just one job loss or hospital visit away from sliding into perpetual poverty. Lao A (牢A) is the Chinese streamer who popularized the term

Gonna have a hard time finding a publication willing to commission something containing this much racist talk😂

Anyway I think it’s very funny how so many people here treat Lao A’s kill line as some kind of legitimate criticism. It’s like taking Alex Jones or Nick Fuentes seriously because they once said something that resembled a point of view that you agree with

More knowledge from Lao A

From my notes

Very sad that kill line didn’t become a bigger discourse in the US because I was so ready to write something about its inventor Lao A after spending two hours listening to his race-mixing theory on Bilibili, which was so racist that I wanted to give myself a lobotomy

Hmm couldn’t seem to find anything. Do you have the exact Chinese words of the hashtag?

Not sure the point of this is? Although the hashtag is banned, the platform immediately shows you posts containing these words under the ban notice
