The search for extraterrestrial life as we don’t know it.

Scientists are abandoning conventional thinking to search for extraterrestrial creatures that bear little resemblance to Earthlings.

@yogthos indeed, I would have made this assumption right at the start...

Wang Wenbin asks how the US can see a balloon 18,000 meters in the sky, but seems to have been blind to the toxic mushroom cloud vinyl chloride over Ohio? 👏

While boasting about his decision to shoot down the Chinese balloon, Biden claimed the US was continuing to engage diplomatically with China on the issue and said he is not looking for a ""new cold war" with China, but plans to continue pushing policies to compete with the country. In response to Biden's remarks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin reiterated on Friday that the Chinese airship's unintended entry into US airspace was an unexpected and isolated incident, but it tested the US' capability to properly manage crisis and sincerity about stabilizing relations with China.
The US cannot ask for dialogue and communication while at the same time escalating confrontation and crisis. It should meet China halfway to manage differences, properly handle the unexpected isolated incidents, avoid misjudgments and work to bring bilateral relations back to the healthy and stable track, said Wang Wenbin. The spat between China and the US around the balloon incident has continued. Also on Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that China's sanctions against US defense contractors Lockheed Martin Corp and Raytheon Missiles & Defense was to shift attention from the balloon incident, and criticized China for its "irresponsible" move.
In his response, Wang Wenbin said, ""Speaking of 'deflecting', can the US tell us why it is able to see the 'balloon' 18,000 meters in the sky, but seems to have been blind to the toxic mushroom cloud of vinyl chloride over Ohio? Why was it vocal about investigations and accountability immediately after the Nord Stream blast, and yet unusually silent in the wake of the latest investigative report written by a US journalist?" "What exactly were the three high-altitude objects it shot down? If the US does not consider the appearance of these objects in US airspace to be irresponsible, why jab its fingers at China? The US should not have overreacted and abused the use of force, still less use the incident for political manipulation or to smear and attack China," said the spokesperson.

Global South: Gold-backed currencies to replace the US dollar. The adoption of commodity-backed currencies by the Global South could upend the US dollar’s dominance and level the playing field in international trade.

I don't mind criticism, not of me personally, but in general.

American journalist discovers a train

I rode on one of Europe's fastest high- speed trains in first class from Amsterdam to Paris for $160. It easily beat flying. Taylor Rains Feb 23,2023,11:00 AM
Instead of shuffling through airport security and waiting for my boarding zone, | simply walked onto the train and sat down. My ticket was checked after departure.

@yogthos — Cool demo! I guess this is the technique that has long been used on those images you tilt to see shift / change.

Anti-China rhetoric is off the charts in western media.

The mass hysteria reflects the biases inherent in the world’s most powerful media outlets.
