This goes hard

This comic art is done very well. I get a shaky feeling from Sneeze. I can sense based on Sneeze's facial expressions that he still looks sus/opportunist if another major crisis emerges again, but I can also sense with enough character development, political engagement, and education that Sneeze has the potential to become a more trustworthy comrade.

As someone who has done some drawing before, faces are not easy, and I admire the skill of this comic artist.

This has been going for a while. Even that one channel that showed technological advancements in China with an AI voiceover (I believe) (TOP WONDERS, I think was the name) was taken down a while ago. I've seen various small socialist channels removed from YouTube for the past few years.

The Telegraph: Chinese Boeing 747 cargo aircraft disappear from radar as they approach Iran.

China has probably supplied something to Iran and may continue to do so.

Boeing 747 cargo aircraft flying from China do not exactly disappear intentionally from radars, as suggested by The Telegraph.

Based on our findings, they land at the airport in the city of Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. Although the city itself is close to the border with Iran, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. From there, they continue on to the European Union.

The media are obviously just creating a story out of regular stopovers.

Israeli soldier killed, three seriously wounded in southern Gaza

Israel’s military has confirmed that one soldier has been killed and three seriously injured in the southern Gaza Strip.

The military identified the deceased as a 20-year-old sergeant in Israel’s Golani Brigade’s 12th battalion, while the three “seriously injured” soldiers were also from the same unit. All three have been evacuated from the Palestinian territory.

Earlier on Monday, the Israeli military reported than a 28-year-old captain from the Golani Brigade’s engineering battalion was also killed in southern Gaza.

Israelis in ‘shock’ as Iranian missiles hit their targets

Bernard Smith ~Reporting from Amman, Jordan~

Al Jazeera is reporting from Jordan because it has been banned from Israel and the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli broadcasting authority is saying that several missiles fell in open areas injuring several Israelis who fled to shelters.

We are waiting on some more details on that. The most significant damage so far has been to Haifa port where refinery operations have been halted because of severe damage to the refinery. This is one of two refineries. Israel refines a large chunk of petrol, diesel and jet fuel, and it will be considerably inconveniencing and difficult for Israel to manage.

Israelis have never experienced anything like this in the last 40 or 50 years. So it’s come as a bit of a shock to a lot of Israelis.

Israelis are beginning to realise that this is a very, very dangerous situation that they are in. Nevertheless, Israelis always rally around the flag. They may not like Benjamin Netanyahu or his extreme right-wing government – he personally remains unpopular – but Israelis will rally around the flag when the country is under attack.

Trump weighing use of US bomb on Iranian nuclear facility, NYT says

The US president is deliberating whether to enter the conflict with Iran to bomb its nuclear enrichment facility at Fordo, according to The New York Times.

The facility can only be reached using the US’s biggest “bunker buster” bomb, the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, using American B-2 bombers, according to The Times.

“If he decides to go ahead, the United States will become a direct participant in a new conflict in the Middle East, taking on Iran in exactly the kind of war Mr. Trump has sworn, in two campaigns, he would avoid,” reporters David E Sanger and Jonathan Swan write.

Notably, the piece is tagged under “analysis” instead of news, and does not cite a source or sources for its contention that such a strike is under consideration.

The number of people chanting and booing was inspiring. They were loud and wouldn't let silence them.

I'm at a loss of words. I seriously wonder what this is supposed to achieve. Death to Amerikkka.

Lmao, is this seriously going to happen?

I hope the enshittification of TikTok incentivizes people to stay on Xiaohongshu. Heck, the fact that Xiaohongshu makes it easy to enjoy the platform without getting addicted to it should hopefully encourage people who approved the TikTok ban because they didn't approve of its addictive algorithm of slop to go on this platform instead and never look back.
