Democracy only works if we vote - and this election is a big one. Make your voice count. If you haven't already, go vote!

Scientists have picked up signals from the smallest scale of nature ever explored – 100 billion times smaller than an atom. A world so small that some physicists have nicknamed it the #zeptoverse.

Xi held talks with Haitham bin Tariq, Oman’s sultan, in a historic state visit to Beijing on Monday. Haitham’s trip to Beijing is the first time that an Omani head of state has visited China since the two countries established diplomatic relations nearly 50 years ago.

In cashless China, petty theft is no more, but online scams are still rampant.
我看境内有自媒体说,现在国内小偷都没了,因为没有现金了,手机也都可以远程直接锁上,没人偷了。 言下之意就是技术进步让社会治安变好了。 殊不知,现在都改网络诈骗了,规模可比小偷大多了。

博索纳罗家族的矛盾大多不是单纯家庭私事,全部深度绑定巴西政治权力、选举、家族政治遗产争夺。从2000年就出现“父子、夫妻同台竞选”,近年最大冲突集中在前第一夫人米歇尔与三名继子之间,也是巴西右翼阵营内部非常受关注的大戏。

《泰晤士报》这篇深度报道,聚焦博索纳罗家族的政治内部博弈。博索纳罗一直试图打造属于自己的政治王朝,重点扶持长子弗拉维奥作为家族接班人,希望借由选举完成家族势力回归。但他的妻子、前第一夫人米歇尔拥有庞大福音派选民基础,拥有独立政治诉求,并不完全接受这套“长子继承”的家族权力方案。

“My grandfather defined himself by his fight to claim his place, whether he was welcome or not. There’s nothing more American than that.” Quite a story from @JoshChin, whose real ancestral surname seems to be Lee/Li. wsj.com/arts-culture/books/t…

纸生仔成功后多融入早期华人社区,但身份秘密延续数代。走线客抵美后通常申请政治/宗教等庇护,等待期间可申请工作许可,从事建筑、送货等工作。庇护批准率历史上对中国籍申请者相对较高,但近年受边境政策与个案审查影响波动较大,部分人面临长期不确定、语言障碍或经济压力。

纸生仔的主要风险是行政审讯、拘留、身份被揭穿后的遣返,以及终生隐瞒真实姓氏与血缘的心理负担。 走线客的风险更直接、肉体化:丛林中的疾病、溺水、抢劫、性暴力、失踪/死亡;高昂费用(VIP路线可达数千美元);边境后的拘留、可信恐惧面试、漫长庇护等待,以及政策收紧后更高的遣返可能。
