Reported as propaganda, but here’s the thing… Technically correct is the best kind of correct, right?
Only 12 agencies recognize Taiwan as an independent state. TWELVE. A short enough list that I can copy/paste it:
Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Holy See (Vatican), Marshall Islands, Palau, Paraguay, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Eswatini and Tuvalu.
That’s it. Even the US doesn’t explicitly recognize an independent Taiwan. The UN rejected membership in 2007.

I wouldn’t go so far as to call it “Green” until we have a better way of disposing the waste that doesn’t involve creating new warning signs that can still be read and understood 10,000 years from now. :)
If it’s still a danger in 5,000 years, that’s not “green”. :)
Great story on the signage though!

27 minutes to go! Oh boy!
Edit Yup!
I just bought a dozen yesterday, $4 and change. Didn’t seem SUPER expensive. I could have dropped the per-egg price if I bought 18, but I don’t need 18 eggs…

“In war, truth is the first casualty.”
Which, ironically, has been mis-attributed to any number of people.

I wanted to watch the OG Nosferatu before the new one, my wife could not stop laughing.
“No! This serious horror movie!”

If Back to the Future came out today, they would be going back to 1995.
As much as I hate to admit it, yes. That’s 30 years ago now.
Think of it like this… If Back to the Future came out today, they would be going back to 1995.
🤯
Movies from 1955 were old in 1985, so movies from 1995 are old now.
Oh, no, it’s an absolute disaster for our country. But it’s a simple fact that any US politican who dares defy AIPAC will be denied office. They will move heaven and earth to make that happen.

Super good movie but that rape scene… eesh.
Sorry, you’re right, had enough real footage to fool me.
Still, July will be a good month!
I watched the Third Man next which was fascinating. Lots of similar shadow use.
