American staff took everything Chinese officials handed out - credentials, burner phones from WH staff, pins for delegation - collected them before we got on AF1 and threw them in a bin at bottom at stairs. Nothing from China allowed on the plane. We’re taking off shortly for America

@diddlydids I think the fear is what could happen in a surveillance state, ie China’s social credit system.

@SarahjevsEvans As you know, I love your art. I’m asking out of curiosity because I can see it’s not easy to paint. There is a market for these? Maybe I’m drawn to bigger pieces?

@Pergament_F You remind me of a comedian saying, « Sb said I seem to live in my own world….I told him, Well yeah, everybody knows me there! »

@hari_miller @jamiesont @Callum_McMullen I’ve suspected that SNL- US has been using canned laughter for a few years for the reasons you said. Canned laughter- don’t tell me when to laugh.
English

@jamiesont @Callum_McMullen And somehow the audience can’t laugh right… it’s out of sync and mono laugh. No little chortles and odd guffaws. It feels faked even if the audience wasn’t. I smell a rat.

A 16-year-old student (now 22) from Limpopo, South Africa, has received attention for a safety device she designed. Her name is Bohlale Mphahlele. She created the idea for a device called the "Alerting Earpiece." It is a small device shaped like an earring. The goal is to help people in dangerous situations.
She got the idea because of high crime rates and gender-based violence in South Africa. She wanted to design something small, simple, and easy to use.
The design includes a small camera, a GPS tracker, and an alert button. The idea is that the user can press a hidden button. The device would then take a photo of the attacker. It would also send the user's location to trusted contacts and emergency services.
The device is still in development: The prototype has won awards (including bronze at the Eskom Expo) and international attention, but it’s not yet commercially available.
It will hit the market sooner than later show how one idea from one person will eventually effect the lives of many
Stay tuned to stay safe on this

@edgaralandough Si vous avez besoin qu'on vous dicte ce que vous devriez faire, je trouve cela affligeant. Aime et fais ce que voudras !

Visited a temple in Nara. There was a cat sleeping on the steps. Not a stray - had a collar with a little bell.
I sat down to rest and the cat woke up, walked over, sat on my lap. Super friendly.
A monk came out and laughed. Said in English "ah, she likes you. She is a temple cat. She greets visitors."
I asked if she lives at the temple. He said yes, for eight years now. She showed up as a kitten and never left.
"We tried to find her owner. No one came. So we keep her. She is part of the temple now."
He said the cat does something interesting. When people come to the temple crying or upset, the cat goes to them. Every time.
"We don't know how she knows. But she knows. She sits with sad people until they feel better."
I asked if I seemed sad. He smiled and said "I don't know. Do you?"
I thought about it. I was sad. Had been for a while. Didn't realize it showed.
The monk said "the cat knows before we know. She is very wise."
I sat there for an hour with the cat on my lap. The monk brought me tea. Didn't say anything, just sat nearby reading.
When I got up to leave, the cat walked me to the temple gate. Sat down and watched me go.
I went back two weeks later. The cat was sleeping on the steps. When she saw me, she meowed and came over immediately.
The monk said "she remembers you. That is rare. You must have needed her very much."

@hari_miller Ahhh, sorry to read this. Some days when nothing goes right, I wonder what did I do to screw up my karma so badly…
