Shandian completed the 21-kilometer (around 13-mile) course in Beijing's Yizhuang district with a time of 50:26, while Lightning achieved a time of 48:19.

Both times were faster than the human record for the distance set by Uganda's Jacob Kiplimo, who ran a time of 57:20 at the Lisbon Half Marathon in March.

China is still an Orwellian dream. Just a more serious one.

He’s building a nuclear bunker under the ballroom.

There is definitely already a nuclear bunker in the white house. Maybe it wasn't gold enough for him.

I'd read somewhere that it had needed upgrading for some time, but I'm thinking trump might actually need it with the kind of stuff he's doing right now.
