The US tortured a chinese scientist to death and the media calls it "hostile questioning"

[kropotkindersurprise]

His name is Danhao Wang and he was murdered on March 19, 2026.

“On March 19, at approximately 11:00 p.m., officers from the University of Michigan Police Department responded to a report of a subject who fell inside the George G. Brown Building,” the statement read. “A faculty research assistant was found after falling from an upper level and was later pronounced deceased.”

Lin Jian, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that the U-M researcher died by suicide after U.S. law enforcement interrogated him, urging the U.S. to conduct a full investigation. 

Wang worked in the lab of Zetian Mi, an electrical and computer engineering professor. Engineering Dean Karen Thole wrote in an email Friday that Wang played a major role in research breakthroughs at the University of Michigan, and the community is mourning his death.  “Dr. Wang was a promising and brilliant young mind, whose research into wide bandgap III-nitride semiconductor materials and devices published in Nature stands as a landmark, uncovering for the first time the switching and charge compensation mechanisms of emerging ferroelectric nitrides,” Thole wrote. “His loss is felt deeply not only by those who knew him here at the University, but also everyone who understands his potential to have contributed to breakthroughs in science that would have positively impacted people around the world.”

"Suicide by throwing himself down the stairs." Cops love that one.

that some people respond to any well-foreshadowed reveal with “ugh that plot twist was so predictable” proves bad faith criticism has rotted their brains to the point they think it’s bad writing if they can correctly identify information the writers were intentionally giving them

[bloodraven55]

like you do realise that the entire point of set up and pay off is that you’re supposed to pick up on the clues the writers give you right? you do understand that plot twists only work when they retroactively make sense bc there were hints building up to the reveal right??

remember when Edge of Night came out and the biggest theory about Sylvanas was that she was manipulated by Old Gods due to dying on a saronite spike? Good times...

There are other reasons too but I need to be honest with myself

Reminder to all bitches: if they're coming to kill you, make them bring their own shovels. To me that's what voting is about, that's what living is about, that's what stubbornly persisting is about. For a lot of us world is full of people who want to bury you and to despair is to make it that much easier on them to get you in the ground. Fuck em! Don't just sit there. Don't just cooperate. Don't just wisely pontificate about how inevitable your doom is. If anyone is coming to Get You then damn well make them sweat for it.

researchers: this condition is underdiagnosed advocacy groups: we'll spread knowledge that it's underdiagnosed healthcare workers: some of us will use expanded diagnostic criteria now patients: wow we finally know what's up

tabloids: the condition is mysteriously spreading. this is DANGEROUS.

if succession is about how capitalism promotes abuse and exploitation from the most macro level to the relationships we have with our family...then industry is about how capitalism gets built into us, with the allure of legacy institutions, the security of income, the protection of money against racism and sexism while racism and sexism are simultaneously creating the money...both shows tell us that we cannot be free if we continue to subscribe to this system (the industry with a capital I)that reduces all of us and everything around us!!! the net aggregate is zero!!!!!!!

"Why do Americans get so little time off?"

"Why don't Americans get parental leave?"

"Why don't Americans call in and stay home when they're sick?"

Protestant Work Ethic. Also Americans can't afford to go to the doctor's office to even get a work excuse, let alone actually be seen

"Why does America have such a shit healthcare system??"

Look those pilgrims we love to uphold as our "founders" were mostly Calvinists or other Protestant extremists, all of whom believed that if you weren't working yourself to death you were committing the hedonistic sin of sloth. If you weren't suffering then you sinning and if you were suffering it's because you were sinning (sorry little Chastity, you six year old Puritin, you died of the pox because you or your parents sinned) so now even centuries later, if you've got time to lean then you've got time to clean!

(Funny how the PWE never extends to the billionaires and politicians tho.)

As a teacher, it profoundly annoys me when people take on this educational philosophy of exclusive practicality. Everything we learn must be justified by "when will we use this in real life." What a dull, incurious view of life these people have.

You only need to know the science necessary for cooking, or maybe the chemicals in cleaning supplies. You will never be in amazement at the building blocks of the world. You don't need to know how stars are formed; you can't even see them where you live. You just need to know the geography of the land you live on. You will never see anything beyond your lot in life. Why learn complex mathematical equations to test your mental skills? You only need to know how to add and subtract when your boss gives you a paycheck. Why learn history - those people have nothing to do with you - you need to learn how to fill out a tax form.

And English class? Everyone knows that books aren't real life. Your boss at your job will never ask you to identify the theme, so you don't need to know how. Humans have composed literature for as long as we've been able to speak, but that's all going to end with you. You only need to know how to do your job. That's "real life."

Just learn something for the sake of knowledge and stop complaining that I'm trying to educate you.
