First time in mainland China in over 15 years. Thoughts:
- Cash is on the brink of extinction in China. You pay for everything with QR codes. Even beggars have QR codes. You cannot get around or pay fpr anything without Alipay or WeChat.

Bring back stigma to sex and porn if that's what it takes to get y'all to stop eviscerating riverbeds with lazy prompts

less than ten trans women tried to play collegiate sports and now the car dealership class gets to crash the global economy and set up sweatshops in the midwest

How Katy Perry and Blue Origin's all-female crew are preparing for space Katy Perry and an all-female crew will launch on the New Shepard rocket on April 14.
