Good job Joe.

Suddenly? The American global police force has been in decline since the surge of the Iraq war.

Beijing Applauds Beyoncé for Cultural Appropriation of Chinese Minority Fashion

China’s Communist Party newspaper the Global Times praised leftist American musician Beyoncé on Tuesday for featuring an outfit designed by a regime-approved Chinese designer and appropriating elements of the Yi ethnic minority’s culture.

Beyoncé reportedly featured an outfit designed by 21-year-old Yuan Qiqi – who the Global Times described as “Chinese,” likely meaning ethnic Han – that appropriated Yi style in her promotional images for her new album, Renaissance. Rather than condemn Beyoncé for being “inspired” by Yi culture without crediting the minority, which faces significant discrimination from regime-friendly rural corporations at home, the Global Times approved of Beyoncé’s use of a designer who told the newspaper that he felt compelled to “protect” what the Communist Party considers Chinese culture.

China heatwave: 'Most extreme heat event in world history'

That's hot and unbearable. I hope it eases soon, and that the Eastern US doesn't get hit with anything similar.
It looks like more supply chain disruptions are in store.
