maybe they're the 2nd richest company because they don't waste their budget on shit like graphic design to make a cool logo

can you even imagine how much tDR would charge for that? would take a year and a half and hundreds of labor hours from a team of designers, each making at least 6 figures a year. for one logo. communism got something right 

now thats a sinister looking logo

-Only “healthy” songs that “promote positive energy” will be allowed-

Reminds me reading Ligeti talking about how in soviet dictatorship not only you were oppressed and under total dictatorship control, but contrary to some other dictatorship, you also had to be happy at all time to be oppressed and under total dictatorship control on top of it. Next level of mindfuck. You don't even have a right to sadness.

''Under the plan, karaoke venues would be responsible for policing their song lists and deleting any songs that: “endanger national unity, sovereignty or territorial integrity, or harm national security, honour or interests”. It will also ban songs that “incite ethnic hatred”.

While the proposal did not mention any specific songs by name, in the past banned songs have been those seen as political or promoting poor social behaviour such as 

I love Taiwanese Girls, Fart, Beijing Hooligans and Don’t Want to Go to School.

A central song list would be created by the ministry for karaoke venues and their operators who would then be responsible for deleting banned songs. Only “healthy” songs that “promote positive energy” will be allowed, and venues are encouraged to promote songs seen as championing the government’s agenda.''

Can't believe they would consider banning the classic Fart.

Gotta love communist dictatorships for their respect and dedication to a clean and good smelling social environment.

Never knew farts had such power to disrupt the autority. I shall from now on, fart in the face of oppression.

Just realized that if you mess with grammar a secret underlying coherence surfaces.

Taiwanese Girls Fart

Beijing Hooligans  Don’t Want to Go to School.

Coincidence? i think not.

sadness gets in the way of the material production/consumption process, and increasingly that is the only point of reference (in the east & the west)

Except for all the anti-depressant meds and self-help books that get sold...

saw this in the news this morning and remembered @chenGOD knows this guy:

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/10/chinese-court-michael-spavor-11-years-503645

seems pretty messed up...I only know what I've read online, but looks like a clear case of retaliation stemming back to the arrest of the Huawei exec woman. I can only imagine how frustrating/infuriating it must be for all involved. once again, reminds me that the criminal justice system in N. America is far from perfect...but still...it's night and day compared to how the law works in authoritarian led countries.
