@PhoenixSerenity @ekis yep. Purely from a political anthropology angle, China is fascinating. They seemingly have found the magic touch between some economic freedoms while still maintaining central party control. And for long enough to get embedded into western economies almost to the point of catastrophic levels of risk to said economies.

@PhoenixSerenity @ekis no argument. The same reason the West is learning that having one uber dominant partner isn't ideal, the world economy is about to learn the same thing regarding China.

Asymmetry is tough to control. Capitalism's chase of the cheapest everything for profit will be it's demise.

@PhoenixSerenity @ekis would the UN even exists without veto power? The major powers wouldn't join without it.

@ekis sadly, I doubt this will be possible.

The world needs the power players to be willing to submit to international judgement/punishment...often by their adversaries.

I don't see China or Russia or India ever doing that. We know the US never did and certainly won't for a long time.

China really is the bear inside the tent - military strength can be bested. Beating an economic power of a country 5 times your size is a fools errand.

@benroyce not gonna lie I expected #Waymo destruction

@elaterite Looks at size of burrow....

Owls of Unusual Size? I don't believe they exist.

@msbellows @AkaSci apparently no truth to the rumor they place a large hot air balloon over Congress, fill it with all the hot air and use that 🤪

@AkaSci @msbellows I assume the crawler has a leveling mechanism for going up the pad slope while loaded?

This is how Dems need to respond

Rep Joe Neguse reframes a "Why aren't Dems...." question into an accurate question about the Trump admin and the GOP

@mastodonmigration link? I'm happily not up on the goings on over there lol
