A screenshot of text that reads, "The world tour embarked upon by President Hu Jintao in April and May of 2006 was almost entirely about positioning China as a major player in the global energy market, and a political actor in regions critical to oil and LNG production and transportation. During Hu’s visit to the White House in April, President Bush was pressured to bring up the subject of oil with his Chinese counterpart, in part due to domestic displeasure at the rising price of gasoline, as well as protectionist fears stoked by the recent failed Chinese bid for the American oil producer UNOCAL.  Hu then flew to Nigeria, where he signed a $4 billion dollar infrastructure development deal that would give China preferential access to one of Nigeria’s best prospective oilfields and a 45% guaranteed stake. He then traveled to Kenya, signing similar deals for prospecting in the region’s suspected oil wealth in the areas bordering Sudan, already a major Chinese oil partner."

My friend and I were talking about the Botstein/Epstein thing, and in the course I told my friend that my senior thesis was basically predicting the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative a half decade early, and he told me to put up or shut up...

ngl, this one aged real good 🤌🤓

It's also built well below the redline for flooding, like just blood red.

I was working for a provincial regulator when they were doing the first phase and I remember looking at the floodplain map with some colleagues and just going, "...what?".

But hey what do I know! I'm sure it's fine.

for those McElroy readers who are less Online than some of us, "shitposter" is not inherently derogatory as a descriptor; less a judgement on the veracity of the content so much as denoting a specific informal and combative style of engagement

(not trying to define Justin's intent here, just sayin)

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim started false claim councillor 'handed out illegal drugs' Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim accused city Coun. Sean Orr of "handing out illegal drugs on Christmas Day" in a briefing for Chinese-speaking reporters.

This is one of the worst things I’ve seen in Vancouver politics.

Vancouver councillor outrageously lies to Chinese audience that fellow councillor is a drug addict & dealer. Gets caught, forced to “apologize” for lying, mayor commends him for admitting fault.

Then turns out the mayor did it first.

It's amazing how many of them are self loathing closet cases (Benny Johnson, Milo, Crowder etc), it's almost a theme at this point

Specifically (or rather, I'll paraphrase because I don't give a shit about that little twerp enough to get it exactly correct) he said something to the effect of there being no act "gayer" than for a man to sleep with a woman, because women are feminine and therefore you are tainting yourself.

Maybe you would have a better finger on the pulse of what people want in their urban reporting if you, oh idk, stuck to reporting on the city of Washington DC, where you are based?

Grocery shopping time, aka time to decide if I give money to:

A) Monopoly guy who just can't help but sell the occasional warehouse to ICE to build more concentration camps,

or,

B) Monopoly guy who just can't help but run near constant price fixing schemes to steal from his customers

Choices!
