filistine··on Noise pollution hurts the heart
I can hardly wait to bring this up with the local LA Fitness manager. Gyms seem to be a Petri dish for bad experimental music which, to my ears, is noise.
filistine··on Xi Jinping is fighting a new enemy – Genghis Khan
Xi's name, along with that of Genghis Khan, now appears on the shortlist of most-despised dictators. First he imprisoned hundreds of thousands of muslim Uighurs for "reeducation" and left their unprotected families and wives to be raped by Han men in Xinjiang province and now he attempts to erase the historical record of a near-mythical figure that everyone in the Western and Eastern worlds knows of. But certainly Xi has read the poem "Ozymandias"?

Xi's killing, although qualifying as genocide, is paltry compared to that of Genghis Khan, who killed more people on some days than Xi has killed in a lifetime. Perhaps Xi is jealous.
