Deep inside i kind of like that they still want cuddly little monsters!

i don’t know what it says about this Westerner view of Chinese soft power, the historical moment, or my age, but two years in I still struggle to understand this cultural phenomenon

Quick vid on @globalenergymon.bsky.social's new gas plant tracker update: US planned gas increased 3x, 1/3rd of that is JUST dedicated, off-grid gas plants for data centres!

Sneak peek of some results that say

1) women are relative cheap labour orientated towards green jobs (they think of a mid pay job en par with a high pay fossil job)

2) socialization and esp. diversity matters to them (while, depending on framing, it really turns men off)

Come one come all!

I mean isn't the typical Reform voter anti-high education elites? Really not asking for much - just a bit of healthy disdain for a disgraced political scientist?
A propos of nothing,

count me fully as a vote for "bring back shame" for opportunists
