Around 10-ish years ago, BBC made a TV series called Are our kids tough enough? (Title may be inaccurate) in which a Welsh (?) class of teenagers from an average school were taught under Chinese secondary school rules. The programme was full of chaos, but the final test shows a higher academic 1/n

"To avoid getting into trouble at school, 14-year-old Amelia says she decided to stop drinking water so she would not need the toilet." Hold onto that thought @lucympowell.bsky.social #TransKids www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Although Japanese films are prioritised in domestic releases, they can be quite slow at international ones, if there will be cinematic releases at all. I want to watch this film! But nobody knows when it will come here.

Commentary: "Chiikawa the Movie: The Secret of Mermaid Island" is the most anticipated film in Japan, grossing ¥2.24 billion in its opening weekend, and has taken over most movie screens during the school summer vacation period.

I find these videos weirdly and tragically laughable. Just around 20 years ago, we were the ones who were criticised by our governmental authorities for our own "uncivilised behaviour", dirtiness and lack of etiquette. The trend continued until mid-2010s in the case of Chinese tourist behaviour.

Chinese viral AI videos are turning foreigners into villains, flooding Chinese social media. They depict foreigners as threats to China’s social, moral, and national order. Strong, confident Chinese people confront, violently beat, and humiliate them in defense of their country. See more below🧵

Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x

In a better world, we won't have to deal with this large amount of slop on a daily basis. AI definitely is not necessarily slop either. But it is neither Hank or me's responsibility to find non-slop ways to use AI. After all, we don't make them, and you know who should be responsible for that one.

I've heard of a lot of people saying AI adoption in workplace is making them busier, because once things can be done faster, they are immediately filled with more tasks. Sounds like somebody famous is falling into the trap as well. Be aware of being pushed to make more slop by a SLOP!

小学英语教材

诶，说到这儿就不得不把#论当代你国中小学有多变态 这个标签再加上一个“幼儿园”。 我小时候上的幼儿园是部队的幼儿园，孩子们大多出身于军人家庭。但我不是，我是“地方人员子女”，家长要交更高的入园费。我的记忆里，幼儿园的时光里党国的存在极少。比如”祖国的花朵“之类。3年来只记得一次非常模糊的升旗仪式，好像只有这一次。我识字非常早，几乎无师自通（疑似超读症？），记得当时给孩子们看的画册上也不见得有类似内容，而且那些画册疑似本来是给小学低年级用的。从我妈拍的新年联欢、儿童节联欢会的照片里，也没有此类内容。

国内小学幼儿园的党宣和民族主义教育比例越来越高，课时不够覆盖考试内容的，家长要承担的责任就越来越多。 当然欧美也因为老师短缺教学大纲设置之类问题开始有往家庭和课外机构转移责任的现象，另外也有教育公平的问题…不过和国内性质不一样。 当然真要讨论这些事也挺好的，和老中长辈那种随时试图说服你外国啥都不行、早日回国接受党爹和你爹教育的雄辩是两码事🤣🤣🤣

I've also seen other people describing it as "foreign labour is wanted, but not immigrants". Which is... something obviously won't work.

猫好きな人@valoisdubins.bsky.social · 2w ago

This idea that you focus on getting people who have already made it and who have already established themselves somewhere else is just so dumb. I saw someone describe the whole approach as a 「働け、だが暮らすな」policy. Which is no way to encourage entrepreneurs from building things up.

我妈铁定是老年痴呆了。今天才发现咱家的老DVD机的遥控器被她扔了。问她遥控器哪里去了，她就说“前些天”（扔了“一盒子电线”，也不跟我说一声，我完全不知道。遥控器就在那盒子里。这两样东西就放在书架同一个格里，正常人不可能看不见。我说妈你扔电子产品为啥不告诉我一声，她说她就是要自己干。 已经是第二次了，3月她把我刚买的泡沫洗面奶替换装扔掉了，一起买的两袋子全没了。她还天天抱怨老爸不肯让她做饭（我家一直是我爸做饭）是固执，现在她跟我爸一样固执了。

#论当代你国中小学有多变态 其实我一看到泰山刀片铁丝网的时候，首先想到的是现在中小学校园的栅栏上也有相似的东西，就是螺旋形一圈一圈的那种结构。过去学校哪有这种东西？ 我拍过照片，但是不想被盒所以就不发了。他祖宗的这到底是学校还是监狱？

#你国车文化观察 昨天互关骂一波丰田，让我想到前几天，小区门口停了一辆新车，车标又是我没见过的。上面有一个方方正正的字母T，T下面有个单词，是TANK。我就想这是什么车，管自己叫坦克？随手一查，是长城汽车的品牌，全线都是新能源SUV 。 又是SUV……我就说长城汽车搞营销的有点文化没？人家老外说家用车比坦克还长是骂人话你知道不？！

おおよそ80年前、黒柳徹子さんなど多く著名人の母校・トモエ学園では、まだ体が変わらない児童（実際は幼稚園児と小学生全員。当時思春期の発達は今より遅い）が水着を着なかったまま学校のプールで遊んだ。『窓ぎわのトットちゃん』のいちばん鮮明なシーンと思う。 そんな不思議な教育方法は大事なことを子どもへ伝えた。誰も自分の体を恥ずかしい感じいけない。同性の体も、異性の体も、障害が持つ体も。 結果80年後、自分の体は自分以外誰の前も恥ずかしいは普通。後退になる。

Marjane's Persepolis is a major reason I still haven't give up on life. Like young Marjane, I am now in a stage of being stuck at the authoritarian home country again after leaving the Free World because I couldn't find a place there. 1/n

Living under a dictatorship and then escaping from it can take a huge toll on health. Losing a loved one is possibly a final straw for her rather than the root cause. There should be more awareness of long-term health of people who survived major political turmoil, including undemocratic regimes.

李翊云作品获奖，网络上新一轮批判又开始了。我觉得很多人对她不理解不满意，这些人可能没读过她的书，无法理解为什么两个孩子都选择自杀她还能接受采访写书，这些人的反应也是可以理解。可怕的是有些人长篇大论罗织罪行仿佛她是个罪孽深重的犯人，这些人的恶意令人厌恶。他们不能理解的是，这个世界上有些人可以有不同的方式处理创伤和死亡，难道要她也死去才能符合大家的痛苦模版。

汉坦病毒这事儿，墙内反而不用多担心，原因却很地狱：因为汉坦病毒在国内不是啥新鲜玩意儿😓多少年来全世界大部分汉坦病毒感染人类的病例都来自中国。我还记得十几年前地方电视新闻报道提醒市民，被仓鼠、毛丝鼠（龙猫）等常见宠物鼠咬可能会感染流行性出血热。也可见墙内的动物福利状况有多差。

最近说你国未来只能朝鲜化的还不少。问题是朝鲜化也不是想就能做到的。朝鲜的体制特点是：闭关锁国、高压统治，却能一个家族连续三代稳坐江山。这样的体制能维持三代人之久只有一个原因，那就是有外界源源不断地输血。先是苏联搞的经互会，后来苏联没了，中国再接着输。不然不可能维持如此之久还没有内乱。 你国不可能的，经济深度和世界绑定，西方自从六四以来惯着你国也是通过贸易，不可能白给钱。你国3000年来历史上那么多农民起义，还什么朝鲜化，朝鲜化也维持不了几年。我看叙利亚化还差不多吧！
