Hong Kong food is always appetizing, especially dim sum, highly recommended.

Thank the YouTuber for making this really informative video, and even with dual subtitles! I know it must took them much effort.

A series of executive orders are decreed at the first day of his term, mostly to undo his predecessor's legacy. Well done.

A social media addiction is like binge eating

I came across this article while trying to make a sentence with the word "binge", and it turned out to be a thought-provoking reading.

In this passage, the author makes an analagy between an eating disorder and social media addiction, whose danger is well-informed by people. However, people struggle to curb their behavior day after day. On the one hand, screens have extremely infused our society. No need to mention that a growing number of occupations today require active presence online, such as marketing and programming jobs.

Because we need to continue to consume both food and social media, those dependencies cannot be handled by the quick-mix method, cold turkey (quit tobacco, alcohol, or drugs immediately).

Like patients who need to take control of their eating, we can try to take control of our social life, starting with assessing our relationship to social media and screen use in general. For example: Is my relationship with social media healthy? Does it reflect my values? At the end of each day, how has my time on screens helped me improve myself? What is one modification I can commit to bringing about sustained change with screen time in my life? If I think of every megabyte as a bite of food, what percentage of what I consumed online today were empty calories (they supply food energy but bring no health benefit)?

Creating more fulfilling patterns(make a phone call to your friends rather than watch their posts) is a way to fill the social media void. Withdrawal symptoms are inevitable and recidivism is very high. But if we tame the beast of social media by moderating our diet of screen time, hopefully, we can realign our priorities and live healthier lives.

Amanda Gorman recited her poem at President Biden’s inauguration ceremony outside the U.S. Capitol. The 22-year-old is the first National Youth Poet Laureate and the youngest poet to read at a presidential inauguration.

Oh, did he concede?

In this video I want to show my progress in Italian after practicing every day for the last 9 months.

I still make a lot of mistakes and have a lot to learn, but I am happy to be already able to communicate. I want to motivate you to see that if you consistently do something every day you can improve a lot.

So brilliant. I am envious.

As with all the languages I’ve learned, my passion for the language, and all that surrounds it, was key to success in learning Mandarin. But lots of reading and listening helped me achieve my goals.

Wow, this video is very impressive and informative. I love those flashed pictures of China's historical figures.

John Heilemann, Mark McKinnon, and Alex Wagner from Showtime's "The Circus" join Stephen to talk about their experiences in the crowd outside the Capitol during the insurrection and how everyday life in Washington, D.C. has changed dramatically in the aftermath of the attack.

Don't mind the all upper cases. Listen to the late show that talks about the 911 liked event in the US history.

Gotcha!
"Did you eat yet" sounds like in China! LOL

While the president tries to shift blame for last week's insurrection, the FBI and Justice Department are making it clear that the terrorists involved will face very serious federal charges. Meanwhile, lawmakers in Washington and around the country are bracing for a second wave of right-wing violence.

Internal terrorists. What a mad world!

Negotiators from the UK and EU have begun a new push to reach agreement on post-Brexit trade after both sides agreed "to go the extra mile" Catherine and Neil explain this and other phrases and vocabulary you need to talk about this story.

Brexit is the biggest political discourse between UK and Europe. So what's going to happen in 2021?

It's a formidable surveillance tool and a giant piece of shit. Don't use it.
