quote:

Yoon had just met with Biden at the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment Conference in New York City. There, Biden had pledged $6 billion from the United States to the public health campaign, which fights AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria worldwide. The funding would require congressional approval.

“It would be so humiliating for Biden if these idiots don’t pass it in Congress,” Yoon was overheard telling a group of aides as they left the event. Video of the exchange quickly went viral in South Korea, where Yoon took office in May.

Representatives for Yoon and for the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday. Park Hong-keun, the leader of the opposition Democratic Party in South Korea, criticized Yoon’s “foul language tarnishing the U.S. Congress” as “a major diplomatic mishap,” Agence France-Presse reported.

quote:

The use of Bangui Windmills in Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s presidential campaign has become symbolic of the idea that Marcos dictatorship was the country’s “golden age,” according to a new study conducted by University of the Philippines (UP) researchers.

In a #FactsFirstPH briefing on Friday, May 6, professors Daphne-Tatiana T. Canlas and Ma. Ivy A. Claudio of the UP Department of Broadcast Communication, presented their study titled “Building Narratives: stories of greatness and windmills among Marcos Jr. supporters on social media.”

The researchers analyzed the use of windmills which were featured in his very first campaign commercial from December 2021, with his campaign slogan: “Bangon Bayan Muli” (Rise again, my country). Since then, the imagery of windmills have become a fixture in Marcos’ campaign materials.

Canlas and Claudio pointed out the key followings:

As early as 2015, the Bangui Windmills project in Ilocos Norte has been falsely attributed to Marcos and his time as governor of the province from 1998 to 2007. This has been fact-checked multiple times and proven false, yet his supporters continue to deploy this image.

The imagery of the windmills repeatedly featured in his campaign commercials, building on the idea that Marcos Jr. offers the country a return to the country’s so-called “golden age” helmed by his parents, Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and Imelda Marcos, during their decades-long dictatorship.

Harold Holt is famous for two strange and presumably unrelated things:
1: mysteriously disappearing in the ocean
2: preventing the US from testing Sarin gas on Australians in a rainforest in far northern Queensland

The conspiracy theory about him being taken away by a Chinese midget submarine was played for comedy at the time but now it seems like one of those news stories about the chilling new CCP policy, panoramic drone footage and 3D architectural diagrams rotate as you scroll

I think they are all related. I can't tell if Yoon is going to pivot to Biden or away from Biden, but he is going to do something.

Speaking anecdotally, pretty much all the directors and Principal Investigators at my work are Chinese PhD's. It's wild how much a continued focus on science can pay off in like a generation or two.

what's up with this anyway? Did the dumb meaningless inflation bill actually gently caress Korea over in trade or is this just Yoon trying to flex and show he's not going to be a yes-man for the west? Wasn't that something Moon got criticized for a lot?
