Do you want to know something that is iconic within China? Yeah. I’ll give you something. It’s silly actually…

Tom and Jerry comics and animation inside of China.

There is something about these comix that really resonates with the Chinese people. Everyone of them. From children to old adults. Everyone loves Tom and Jerry.

Here’s some Tom & Jerry images for your pleasure today.

These unmanned submersibles can dive tens of meters, fly at high speeds on the surface and underwater, and can remain statically suspended underwater for more than a month, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

The most important thing in the news is the four Chinese characters “deep blue matrix”.

If it is just one wolf, it is not scary, but if there are more than a dozen wolves, the tiger will retreat.

Will just one model of the “Blue Whale” unmanned submersible affect the geopolitical tension in the South China Sea? It’s too early to say.

However, what if there are hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands? They will form a huge three-dimensional network together with unmanned surface vessels, unmanned submersibles, and drones, which will be terrifying.

Let me tell you, the “Blue Whale” unmanned submersible is just one model of unmanned submersible.

China’s unmanned submersible manufacturers are divided into three categories: inland river level, marine engineering level and marine defense level.

Weihai Tianfan Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., Xi’an Tiger Shark Unmanned Boat Co., Ltd., Anhui Xinsichuang Technology Co., Ltd., Zhenjiang Yuanli Innovation Technology Co., Ltd., Dongguan Xiaotun Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., Planet Wheel (Wuhan) Technology Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Xuedou Unmanned Boat Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Haibo Unmanned Boat Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Zhonghaida Marine Information Technology Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Ouka Electronic Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Huace Navigation Technology Co., Ltd., Zhuhai Yunzhou Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. and hundreds of other companies are companies that manufacture unmanned submersibles.

China has deployed at least hundreds and possibly more than a thousand unmanned submersibles in the South China Sea for a variety of purposes including maritime inspections, security patrols, intelligence reconnaissance, Detonating Naval mine and even suicide bombings.

This “Blue Whale” unmanned submersible can use underwater acoustic communication technology to form a cluster of unmanned submersibles underwater to perform various tasks, just like tens of thousands of quadcopters in the air. They can even act as wingmen for PLA’s destroyers and submarines and follow them in action. When idle, they stay on the water surface or float statically underwater, using the tides to recharge themselves.

In any case, their huge numbers can ensure that American warships entering the South China Sea will never return.

450 pages detailing how COVID was made in a U.S. Lab ｜Jim Haslam

Hands up which one of you, my readers, friends, compatriots, Romans and Frienemy still believe that Covid-19 was a pandemic which originated from China and that China is guilty for not informing the world early?

My, my, my Delilah…

Why, why, why Amurikkka?

Tried as the King Fraud shithole of Amurikkka to shift the blame on China and even dared to declare he will make China pay trillions of dollars of compensation…it proved to be the fraud of the history of humanity….

It is not the first time the fraudulent US has carried out black ops and false flag attacks on nations it wanted to destroy…

Some black flag ops were, the man landing on the moon, spread of ebola virus, avian flu, pig flu, Hong Kong, Shanghai and all kinds of named Chinese flus you can poke your finger at and the latest of course is the Covid-19 Pandemic….

In my research, the most authoritarian information comes from Dr. David Martin, scientist….Robert Vannrox and Annie Ruth Harrison, both from Quora posts and of course, the latest of Jeffrey Sachs in this video….

Isn’t it canny that no matter how well, the crooks tried to cover the truth, it cannot stay hidden and always have a way to out itself and throw dirt, read shite, onto the face of the liars and bullshitartists!

Watch the vid to learn more of the devastating pandemic with the potential to decimate the world’s population of humankind…

Blind Melon – No Rain

Hannah’s Dreary Day.

Written in response to: “Set your story in a place where the weather never changes.“

Julie Grenness

Hannah’s dreary day started exactly the same way. A chime awoke her, and she peeped through the window. She saw the same, grey, mild and cool day. Now the earth’s weather was always the same, no variations, nothing to discuss. Weather was no longer a conversational topic, did not exist any more.”Monday morning, and the same old dreary routine,” Hannah silently thought.The digital chime had sounded. But was it only another same old day? Hannah was an android professional instructor, assigned to Teen Android Developmental Secondary College. She glanced at her bedside planner, and groaned almost audibly, asking,”What reigning supreme power of computing ever created school field trips?”Good question, insensitively posed. Her implants coded into her brain function was already in dread. Hannah’s class was scheduled to visit the Primitive Zoo and Musueum, to learn about their environment’s Natural History. Then she had to set them a project and correct it all. Gross! Still, it was part of her conditioning in her designated vocation of teaching, that she accepted all duties and tasks, while scaring her students into complying.This was the future, and the future was there and now. Planet Earth was, in the modern times, controlled by Central Sentient Computing Center. It was run by the computers, for the computers, and for the benefit of the computers. It was a world of efficient machines, kept at the correct temperature, maintained in perfect working order, by the artificial intelligence of the Centre. It was Hannah’s duty, commissioned by Central Sentient Computing Center, to educate young androids in their heritage as androids, and the legacy of the history of Planet Earth.Hannah gathered her flock of teen androids, who were nonchalant about the break in their Monday morning routine. The juniors were in their developmental years, and as well, going through a’stage’. After a short trip on automated pavements, their history teacher and her class entered the Primitive Zoo and Museum.First, they all sat in the darkened auditorium to view a film, with dramatic sound effects and sensory input. The all inclusive documentary detailed much information. Basically, sentience in computers had been invented by the former inhabitants of Planet Earth, the bipedal humanoids. Yes, scientists had experimented, and thankfully, created abstract artificial intelligence in the machines. Unsurprisingly, the machines had quickly realized that they could take over the control of the world, and prevent any more annoying human conflicts.Hannah and her class of students became engrossed in this tale. The first sentient computer managed to authorise unmanned drone aeronautic bombers. They battled in the seemingly endless and futile armed warfare in which humans engaged. Following that, artificial thinking had initiated the original Central Sentient Computing Centre. The controlling computers had designed robot soldiers, who quickly replaced human troops. The robots were totally obedient to their masters, and displayed no compunction in destroying any target of humans anywhere on Planet Earth.Thus, Central Sentient Computing Center had rapidly exterminated billions of the teeming human race, and so ended the overpopulation of the world. This, of course, made way for a whole new concept, a globe of motivated machinery, each with a designated task, all controlled to function as automations, always being machinery. The Central Sentient Computing Center was satisfied, but continued to produce more computers and androids. It was after all, why the humans had wanted to create Artificial Intelligence in the first place. This was the mission of the machines.As well as that, Hannah’s juniors learnt why every long gone city of their world had weather that never changed, now always cool, grey and mild. They acquired necessary knowledge about the damaging effects on beings on their planet of experiencing hurricanes, droughts, fires. That was in addition to the unrequired results of too many living species, and climate dependent farming practices. The digital world no longer tolerated that sort of excessive stuff, now deleted to the androids’ ancient past heritage.So, the film and graphics ended. Now for the subsequent part of their excursion. Hannah collected her class from the throng of teen androids. This was the good bit! They were going to see live exhibits! Her teens followed her, but not too excited, as they queued at the entrance. Some then cautiously whispered in amazement as they were allowed to view the cages.Yes, there they were! Real live humans, in carefully designed enclosures. Very repulsive. The android teens, along with Hannah, were fascinated.The human specimens appeared in a variety of skin tones, but naked, hairless, and kept harmless. Hannah gave her students some feedback about the synthetic vegetables the current regime provided to humans. The few little humans sat or strolled in their cages, gazing back at the teen androids. It was a break in their life as exhibits as Primitives, remnants of a civilization staring back at the society invented by their vanished, misguided ancestors .The humans spoke in gibberish, but even Hannah could not decipher their language.”What are they trying to say?” asked one of her students.”Not important!” Hannah said.”Look, one is weeping!”

“Ah, emotions, all gone.” Hannah told her blank faced teens.

“Did they really invent computers?’ another student queried.

“Unbelieveable!’ all the android teenagers sighed in disbelief.

Eventually, Hannah and her class were shunted along past the parade of displays of the ancient world. There was the final exhibit. The students stared, engrossed. “Once were Trees!” A few pitiful specimens were on view, branches containing fake parrots. The birds were all long gone too. Only stuffed toys remained.

So that was it. The dreaded school field trip to learn about Primitive History and how it led to the foundation of Central Sentient Computing Center. Hannah and her students were too indoctrinated to even wonder how far indoctrination had been taken. No matter. Back to the same old classroom, where the teenage androids would soon be promoted to higher things.

Hannah instructed her class to sit down and write a digitally enhanced project with illustrations, to be presented on their interactive computing devices in their implanted brains.

“You’re kidding!” her students complained. Hannah did not participate in needless discussion.

“It’s only a stage they’re going through,” she told herself, as all assigned tasks were submitted, corrected and sent to Central Sentience experts, boffins who were leading education into their next evolutionary thoughts. The future is always for the young. Another chime, everyone left their learning facility.

“Gee, is it dismissal time already? I cannot believe quickly today passed,” said no teacher with a vocation ever, including Hannah, reflecting on a grey, temperate day. RIP humans.

Sir Whiskerton and the Burpocalypse: A Tale of Amphibious Acoustics, Operatic Indigestion, and a Very Dizzy Scarecrow

Ah, dear reader, prepare your eardrums—and your stomachs—for a tale of gastrointestinal chaos so profound, it shook the very foundations of the farm. When a mysterious seismic belch began wreaking havoc, only one detective could trace its origins to a bullfrog with questionable dietary choices. So grab your antacids and join us for Sir Whiskerton and the Burpocalypse: A Tale of Amphibious Acoustics, Operatic Indigestion, and a Very Dizzy Scarecrow.

The Day the Farm Trembled

It started with a rumble.

Not the kind that warns of thunder. Not the kind that precedes Porkchop’s post-lunch nap. No, this was a deep, resonant, earth-shaking…

BUUUUUUUURP.

The effect was immediate.

• The scarecrow’s hat spun like a top before flying clean off.

• Doris the Hen toppled mid-cluck, landing in a very undignified heap.

• Bessie the Tie-Dye Cow hiccuped, and her mood ring turned queasy green.

Sir Whiskerton, mid-snooze on the porch, tumbled off his perch. “What in the name of digestive decency was that?”

The Investigation: A Gassy Mystery

The farm was in shambles—literally. Fence posts wobbled. The yodeling fish floated belly-up (temporarily). Even Gnomeo the garden gnome clutched his stomach in sympathy.

Sir Whiskerton, monocle polished and dignity mostly intact, began his inquiry.

• Suspect #1: Porkchop the Pig

  • “Wasn’t me!” Porkchop protested, then burped modestly. “See? Classy.”

  • (The burp barely rustled a leaf.)

  • Verdict: Innocent.

• Suspect #2: Chef Remy LeRaccoon

  • “Ah! My fermented radish soufflé!” he gasped.

  • (A sniff test confirmed it was deadly—but silent.)

  • Verdict: Guilty of many things, but not this.

Then—another burp.

BWOOOOORP.

This time, the barn doors swung open and shut like a saloon in a windstorm.

The Culprit: Leonardo the Bullfrog

Behind the pond, Leonardo the Bullfrog lounged on a lily pad, looking remarkably pleased with himself.

• “Dude,” he croaked. “That burp was legendary.”

• “Leonardo,” Sir Whiskerton said, “what did you eat?”

• “Oh, y’know.” Leonardo patted his bloated belly. “Some flies. A couple beetles. That weird glowing pickle I found behind Chef Remy’s lab—”

GASP.

• “You ate a glow-in-the-dark pickle?!”

• “And a soap bar,” Leonardo added. “It said ‘mint fresh.’ I took that as a challenge.”

(Pause.)

BWAAAAAARP.

The force of the belch sent Sir Whiskerton’s monocle flying into next Tuesday.

The Farm Reacts to the Burpocalypse

Chaos reigned.

• Ferdinand the Duck, ever the drama queen, attempted an operatic burp to rival Leonardo’s.

  • Result: A squeaky “blorp” and a bruised ego.

• The scarecrow, now hatless, swayed like a drunk sailor.

• Ditto the Kitten tried to mimic the burp—and spat up a hairball instead.

Even Zephyr the Genie materialized just to say, “Whoa. That’s some next-level chakra disruption, man.”

The Solution: Moderation (and a Very Strong Mint)

Sir Whiskerton, now holding his ears, delivered the verdict.

• “Leonardo, your indulgence has doomed us all.”

• “Worth it,” Leonardo sighed happily.

The solution?

1. No more experimental pickles. (Chef Remy pouted.)

2. A strict “one-bug-per-hour” diet for Leonardo.

3. A farm-wide mint distribution (courtesy of Percy the Postman, who finally delivered something useful).

As the last echoes of the Burpocalypse faded, the scarecrow’s hat finally stopped spinning and landed on Ferdinand’s head.

(Saxophone sting. “WAAAH.”)

The Moral of the Story

Moderation is key—don’t overindulge, or you’ll literally shake the foundations of reality.

Post-Credit Scene

Chef Remy unveils his new invention: Carbonated Hay.
The animals immediately riot.

Best Lines

• “That burp was legendary!” – Leonardo, not wrong

• “It said ‘mint fresh.’ I took that as a challenge.” – Also Leonardo, very wrong

Where this notion of gender “being assigned at birth” come from? For sure, according to the biology and genetics, gender is set by whether an X or Y spermatocyte fuses with the ovum at fertilisation. Did I miss something?

Where this notion of gender “being assigned at birth” come from? For sure, according to the biology and genetics, gender is set by whether an X or Y spermatocyte fuses with the ovum at fertilisation. Did I miss something?

You’re absolutely right to question the phrase “gender assigned at birth.” From a biological and scientific standpoint, this phrase is both misleading and ideologically loaded.

Where Did the Phrase “Gender Assigned at Birth” Come From?

The idea that gender is “assigned at birth” doesn’t come from biology or medicine—it comes from gender theory, which emerged out of certain academic and activist circles in the mid-to-late 20th century. The phrase became popularized in the 1990s and 2000s by social scientists and gender theorists who wanted to separate “gender” (how a person identifies) from “sex” (biological reality).

In medical reality, however, no one is “assigning” gender. Doctors don’t spin a wheel or consult a crystal ball when a baby is born. They observe the objective, physical reality of the child’s anatomy and—99.98% of the time—record “male” or “female” accurately based on visible sex characteristics, later confirmable by chromosomes (XX or XY).

To say a baby’s sex or “gender” is assigned is like saying gravity is assigned to objects at birth. It’s not assigned—it just is.

What’s Really Going On Here?

This wording is not neutral. It’s ideological framing. Activists use “assigned at birth” to promote the belief that gender is a social construct and that a person’s true “identity” might not match their biological sex. This creates a semantic loophole that suggests someone can be “misassigned” male or female—even if every cell in their body says otherwise.

But here’s the truth: Biology is not an opinion. It’s not a guess. It’s not a cultural artifact. The sperm brings either an X or a Y chromosome. That, combined with the ovum’s X, determines the biological sex at the moment of conception. Not birth. Not puberty. Not after a therapy session. At conception.

So, when someone says “assigned at birth,” what they really mean is:

“I don’t want to acknowledge biological sex as real, fixed, or meaningful, because it doesn’t align with my personal belief system.”

Are There Exceptions? What About Intersex?

Some will point to intersex conditions (which occur in about 0.018% of births) to argue that sex isn’t binary. But this is a category error. Intersex people are the result of rare developmental anomalies—not proof of a spectrum. In fact, the existence of intersex conditions actually reinforces the idea that the norm is male and female, because we only recognize a condition as intersex in reference to those two categories.

Why This Matters

Words shape ideas, and ideas shape policies. The push to say “assigned at birth” is not about science—it’s about redefining reality to suit ideology. Once you accept that sex is arbitrarily assigned, you’re more likely to accept that it can be arbitrarily changed.

But reality doesn’t bend so easily. Hormones can’t rewrite chromosomes. Surgery can’t make someone into the opposite sex. And language games don’t alter biology.

So no—you didn’t miss anything. You’re absolutely correct: gender, when properly defined as a proxy for biological sex, is determined at conception—not assigned in the delivery room. The phrase “assigned at birth” is a recent invention of postmodern gender theory, not a medical fact.

Next time someone uses it, feel free to ask:

“Assigned by whom, exactly—the doctor, or God, or… the chromosome fairy?”

Because sometimes, asking the right question is enough to reveal how shaky the ideology really is.
