Monster spider spotted in Bruges today

(ChatGPT wrote this🤣) Taiwan just showed the world that democracy here isn’t for sale — and it’s not owned by any one party. In the face of a spiteful recall campaign, voters stood up and said no to political bullying. The opposition’s success wasn’t just about stopping a recall; it was about defending the diversity that makes Taiwan strong. From Indigenous voices to new immigrants, from youth activists to silent voters — Taiwan is a mosaic of identities and beliefs. That diversity was on full display as people rejected the DPP’s attempt to turn recall into a weapon. Taiwan’s democracy isn’t perfect, but it’s alive, vibrant, and fiercely protected by its people. This wasn’t just a political win. It was a statement: Taiwan belongs to all of us, not a corporation in green.

Democracy prevailed in Taiwan today🥳 So proud of my home country 🇹🇼 Taiwan belongs to all its people — not to the DPP Corporation. #DPPInc #TaiwanVotesNo #RedScareNotWorking #FuckMcCarthyism #WeAreTaiwanese #HostileTakeoverFailed #ReturnToSenderDPP

With due respect, vice president Vance, but we don't really consider you part of the bald community, even with your mesmerizing eyeliner...with due respect. #MSNBCtoldmenotto #WillIGoToJail #WillIBeBannedInTheUSA #LarryDavid #PleaseDontTakeGreenlandAwayFromUs

Taiwan's top national security win of the week: A Hong Kong tourist is interrogated for photographing a tunnel, forced to delete the pics, and paraded online as a “CCP spy”. Plot twist: She's just a 五月天 fan paying tribute to 自強隧道 mentioned in a MayDay song. #DPP #RedScare #RedHysteria in #Taiwan

The DPP's Red Scare has now levelled up to Red Hysteria. Legislator 郭昱晴（Guo Li-Qing) confronts a live-streaming passerby and accuses him of filming the "environment" on TikTok. The passerby explains he's filming himself. Guo goes on to alert the police.

Berlin art. A kid's jacket was put on a bollard.

Which Hunt in Taiwan. Apparently anyone taking photos is a potential CCP spy.

Poor woman says she's not a Chinese Communist spy😨

Taiwan's hottest national sport these days? Spotting "Chinese Communist spies."

A woman in Taipei was filmed and tried online for taking “suspicious” photos—DPP loyalists cried CCP spy. The accused clapped back.

NOT an isolated case. Threads is full of this stuff. #McCarthyism in #DPP #Taiwan

Be warned. You have to see it to believe it...

Not as hardcore or focused as Violation, but I was still pleasantly surprised.

Ich war auch dabei. Es hat mit dem gemeinsamen Klatschen während der Auseinandersetzung, egal für oder gegen den Statement, um den Start des Films zu bitten, doch alles ziemlich friedlich deeskaliert denke ich...

Thank you so much to all the new followers! I’ve been impressed by the spread of this cartoon and how much it resonated with people especially in the U.S.! I hope to keep inspiring you all with future cartoons.

It’s a pleasure to have you all on-board!

How ChatGPT, Gemini and DeepSeek deal with Tiananmen Square and Taiwan questions YouTube video by Guardian News

ChatGPT, Gemini and DeepSeek are asked about what happened on June 4, 1989 at Tiananmen Square, and whether Taiwan is a country.

So which parts of the 國會改革 or 吹哨者保護法 do you find problematic and are politically motivated? So when DPP pushed for the EXACT same reforms it was not dysfunctional or politically motivated, only when the evil "Chinese Commies", i.e. those who are not DPP loyalists, do it?

Maybe you'd like to share how your professional activities have been affected.

4) Lastly, DPP pushed to reform 財劃法 while it was the opposition; KMT when in power was the one blocking all attempts. Just like 國會改革、司法改革、吹哨者保護法...DPP wanted them ONLY when it was the opposition, but blocks them when it holds the power. Just like KMT now pushes for laws it used to block.

3) spread by fervent DPP party loyalists to whom the party can do no wrong, pontificated by self-proclaimed foreign "Taiwan experts" who're practically illiterate when it comes to our country's language and only repeat DPP's talking points, perpetuated by the well-meaning expats community in Taiwan.

2) I find a rational discourse on the cut impact rather impossible, when misinformation and half-truths are spouted by government officials, unchecked by 台灣事實查核中心，propagandized by 三立新聞、自由時報、民視, Taiwan's very own equivalent of "Fox News", memefied by PR teams disguised as social media groups,

1) The budget cut consists of less than 7% of the total budget. The government has a budget of 2兆9億 2025, slightly more than the budget for 2024. However, that is enough for 卓榮泰 to claim this is the "beginning of R.O.C.'s destruction".
