Way back in 2000 then Chinese President Jiang Zemin did an interview with 60 Minutes. Time stamped it here. Fucking Mike Wallace literally states "you do know that the CIA and Pentagon do make mistakes". President Jiang openly laughs in Mike's face. #priceless.
So AstraZeneca announced that is was pulling its Covid vaccine??!! The article here points to the decision being based on side effects and a class action suit. Other outlets are saying that the decision is based on "falling demand". Certainly an interesting development.
Can't believe that it has been 25 years. Mother's Day 1999 and I remember all too well. Having brunch to celebrate when all of a sudden those old Nokia phones began pinging with text messages. The US had just "accidentally" bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. Outdated maps was the excuse. It was a tense week thereafter. https://www.reuters.com/world/chinas-xi-jinping-visit-serbia-anniversary-1999-nato-bombing-2024-05-07/

Just been one of those days here in the Middle Kingdom. Time for a generous pour of bourbon. image
Twitter/X is clearly a tough habit to break. A ton of high profile Bitcoiners who remain addicted to the engagement feedback loop and their audience while popping into Nostr once a week (if that). Very telling.
My mistake. Earthquake was in Taiwan which makes more sense given its closer to Shanghai. Decent size too. 7.4
There we go…. image
