on the coup thing: I've heard it from people with good connections that this is a thing, though it's not really a "coup" so much as trying to end the trade war and limit Xi's overreach - since it sounds like no one expects them to actually try to remove Xi. I did hear they wanted to get rid of Wang Huning. The Beidaihe meeting started a few days ago which is where people were expecting poo poo to go down, but I don't think any concrete news has come out of it yet

It's kinda weird how people hate trump so much they're willing to throw taiwan under the bus for it. Like the relationship between the countries is gross and taiwan should be recognized on a global stage but whenever the trump admin ever does anything that suggests taiwan is it's own independent country rather than using this opportunity to express how lovely the taiwan/china relationship is the press just doubles down on how this is causing issues with china. gently caress china, taiwan number 1.

For a disturbing number of Americans, the only information they ever received on Taiwan was from that loving Dave Chapelle bit.

I think Trump is just so colossally stupid that people uninformed on whatever he's doing this week find it safer to just assume he's loving up.

When I was at the British museum there were floods of tour buses coming in but interesting enough the everyone had awesome ear buds and the tour guide was doing the tour through a head set. Which is really cool but you still get your country bumpkin nongs from time to time messing things up and the fat American type tourist (rare)

I slept on a toilet in the British Museum once. I was at MOLA doing research and I'd been up all night before, and my bus back to Bournemouth wasn't for five more hours. It was the cheapest sleeping option and not bad at all. Also, it's a pretty loving great museum and FREE.

Restructuring of the regulatory body means no new liscence is being issued for video games. I guess Tencent thought they have enough clout to ignore it but got slapped down.
