A new statue titled “The Orange Plague”, also known as “King of Injustice”, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, where it will remain through 8 October. Remember to stop by for a selfie if you have a chance. 😏📸
This sculpture is a satirical piece titled "[The Orange Plague] created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt.

The Imagery: The 2.6-meter-tall, gold-plated bronze sculpture depicts a naked, oversized Donald Trump riding on the back of a smaller man. He is holding a golf club in one hand and a pair of scales in the other. 

The Meaning: According to Galschiøt, the piece is a satirical commentary on modern political power, climate policy, and the subversion of the rules-based international order. 

Recent Exhibition: In October 2026, the statue drew global headlines when it went on public display inside the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France, organized by Danish MEP Per Clausen.

Hong Kong's Transport Department warned that you won't be able to take an Uber to the new Huanggang Port which opens next Monday, as only taxis and authorized buses can enter the restricted area • They also warned not to rush to try the new port on the first day www.scmp.com/news/hong-ko...

Travellers must use authorised buses, taxis at Huanggang Port, authorities say
Residents must use licensed taxi fleets as other ride-hailing services will not be available inside boundary control area.

Sure, calling the appeals ‘Four Demands’ probably was what got him arrested. But think it also goes to show how *all* the demands made from 2019 through to the pandemic up to the fires were actually all quite sensible

Lin King, who translated Yang Shuang-zi's #TaiwanTravelogue from Mandarin to English, charges an European publisher for copyright infringement over commissioning a translator who cannot read Mandarin to create a third-language translation using King's English text, original footnotes, and afterword.
How is a translated work distinct from the original work? In literature, there is no such thing as an “objectively accurate” translation. Even this statement you are reading can be translated into millions of word permutations. Language is an imprecise human creation that evolves, imprecisely, over time. This is a concept that the public understands in the context of classical texts like The Odyssey, but less deference is paid to a translator’s creative authority in contemporary literature.

一部翻譯作品,如何與原著是不同的個體?翻譯文學中,並沒有所謂「客觀精準」的標準答案。就連您正在閱讀的這段文字,也能被翻譯成數百萬種用字組合。語言本身就是人類創造的不精準產物,且隨著時間不精準地演化。對於《奧德賽》這類古典作品的不同譯本,大眾似乎都能理解這個概念,但是面對當代文學,譯者的創作自主權卻鮮有對等的尊重。
