🍊🖕🇹🇼 Once more time: the Orange Crew abandoning Taiwan was already foreseeable at least in Jul'24 and probably earlier. Reading Elbridge Coldby stuff and the excellent thread by porteaux* it was quite obvious. While in retrospective I was too rational back then. *Nice to see @ptx.bsky.social here
13 Jul 2024 post by IO_Leo_mmg at X quoting "pourteaux“ thread on contrarian right aligning with China

Moscow Rules
1.
Abandon Ukraine, focus on china
2.
Abandon Taiwan, focus on Mexico
3.
Abandon focus: launch SMO on narcos "Astronauts" meme

The one looking at Earth "Wait, is Trump weak on China now?“

The one pointing the former with a pistol "Always have been"

crackdowns on independent contractors is out of control. i don’t want to be an employee and can buy my own “benefits” and don’t need any government busybody “protecting” me by forcing me to accept a boss. NY in particular is backwards on this.

i really love using chatgpt or claude as a foreign language co-pilot when talking to friends, giving me ways to improve grammar rather than using it to directly translate from english
