There's a parallel to how Xi reasserted the CCP's primacy across Chinese society.
Not quite party commissars, but more like the equivalent of Confucius Institutes in every school.

It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

I've just watched another Transformers film - I'm a sucker for action films, especially if they have alien space ships and things being blown up. But now all I can hear is 🎶Autobot repair, Autobot replace 🎶.

One of my most favourite glass vessels: A marvellous Roman vessel in the form of a pig, made of blue glass. It was used to hold ointment or perfume.

A remarkable semi-effigial. On the north side of the little church at Howell (Lincolnshire) is a former chantry chapel. In it is this unusual 14th century monument - a semi-effigial - where the bust of the deceased is shown in a sunken aperture.

Unsurprising to hear a politico who worked extensively with the LibDems when Zack Polanski was trying to break into politics with them, describe him as a ‘snake oil salesman’ and that the Greens will regret not doing their due diligence on their new leader.
