www.ft.com China stops buying liquefied gas from US
Standstill shows how Sino-American trade war has spilled into energy sector
China’s imports of US liquefied natural gas have completely stopped for more than 10 weeks, according to shipping data showing how the Sino-American trade war has spread to energy co-operation.
The freeze on US LNG is a repeat of a block on imports that lasted for more than a year during Donald Trump’s first term as president.
But the impact of the stand-off has potentially far-reaching implications, strengthening China’s energy relationship with Russia and raising questions over the huge expansion of multibillion-dollar LNG terminals that is under way in the US and Mexico.
China’s ambassador to Russia said earlier this week that China would probably step up its imports of Russian LNG instead. “I know for sure that there are a lot of buyers. So many buyers are asking the embassy to help establish contacts with Russian suppliers, I think there will definitely be more [imports],” said Zhang Hanhui.
Russia has emerged as the third-largest supplier of LNG to China, be

Trump signals tit-for-tat China tariffs may be near end; TikTok deal on ice
WASHINGTON, April 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signaled a potential end to the tit-for-tat tariff hikes between the U.S. and China that shocked markets, and that a deal over the fate of social media platform TikTok may have to wait.
“I don’t want them to go higher because at a certain point you make it where people don’t buy,” Trump told reporters about tariffs at the White House.
Speaking with reporters, Trump repeatedly declined to specify the nature of talks between the countries or whether they directly included Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Trump has repeatedly extended a legal deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the U.S. assets of the short video app used by 170 million Americans. On Thursday, he said a spin-off deal would likely wait until the trade issue is settled. “We have a deal for TikTok, but it’ll be subject to China so we’ll just delay the deal 'til this thing works out one way or the other,” Trump said.
www.newsweek.com White House says it has tech that can "manipulate time and space"
A speech by science adviser Michael Kratsios has attracted attention from people who think he means the U.S. now has time travel technology
A comment by White House science adviser Michael Kratsios has gone viral after a speech in which he claimed U.S. technology can “manipulate time and space,” prompting online speculation.
Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, made the remark during a policy address at the Endless Frontiers Retreat in Austin, Texas on April 14.
“Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity,” Kratsios said during prepared remarks published on the official White House website.
While the statement was likely intended as aspirational language about technological progress, it has since circulated widely online, with some interpreting the comment literally.

I took this photo while working on a story about Carnival in Brazil. In the back of an old warehouse, I came across this upside-down Obama figure wearing a Uncle Sam hat, right next to a blindfolded Lady Justice statue. Both covered in dust and completely forgotten. In times of political polarization and ideological battles, the scene really caught my eye.

I thought being a gamer meant I was prepared. " No "Get off the Nintendo" or "just pause it" from me I naively thought, "I'll be able to play all their games and even enjoy the game!" I was such an idiot.
Nothing could have prepared me for the rapid clip "game surfing". What's worse, I can remember how to play them all just fine from my own childhood, but it's the constant in and out of memory that gets me lol
I know what it feels like to be RAM LMAO
Oh yea I remember now lol
You were going off because I...cracked a joke on a couple threads about .ml lmao, and then you were specifically going off because someone asked for an Eli5 of "the joke"
You should be able to adapt it to a rice cooker, the key to this method is an initial couple minute boil in double the water and then dumping it.
But honestly, the stove is SO much faster once you do it a few times (coming from a former die-hard rice cooker user) I can have rice < 20 minutes on the stove
I cook my rice with the PBA method now
Yea, Phillip told me, but that just makes it funnier, because I was never in that thread until then, so that means I'm living in their head rent free lolol
Regardless, diva has actually called me a Nazi so it was absolutely believable to me they'd make up some shit lol
I just had this weird attack of perspective, man. What the hell am I doing here? I like the idea of talking about politics and keeping up with what's going on in the world, and bouncing ideas off people and hearing new stuff. But it seems like Lemmy in particular is just full of all these super-weird aggressive people who are wrong about everything.
Lemmy is still small, it needs people to push back against these extremely aggressive types to grow, the Lemmy-verse at large is tipping away from the tankies, slowly but surely. There are very few tankie-aligned and even fewer right-wing aligned instances. On Reddit, it wasn't nearly as bad because there were just so many people that unless you were early or on a niche subreddit, the "extremely aggressive" types were downvoted and ridiculed to oblivion already and it was big enough that it wasn't really necessary to do so.
I feel like there's a certain perspective that it's just "oh ho that's the internet for you" but it really just suddenly seemed like a big waste of time. Like here I am really trying to explain to this dude why his MAGA-friendly instance is not popular, or to Diva why someone might want to vote for Kamala Harris thinking that would be a good thing, and for what? What am I gaining from all of this? It's not any successful communication with the people I'm talking to specifically, I don't think.
I changed my own perspective long ago, I no longer engage with people like Diva to convince them but to convince and show the "silent lurkers" what Tankies and right-wingers really think around here. And in doing so, it goes a long way to fostering a more positive rep for the Lemmy-verse on the outside
To truly make progress though, we need bigger and louder calls for defederation of toxic instances like .ml and the rest of the triad amongst the bigger instances. Which is also helped by debating to the "silent lurkers"
That is HILARIOUS lmao I wasn't even in this thread until now so ig im living rent free ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
She has def called me a Nazi though so I didn't doubt it for a second lol
Thanks for your concern, but I won't be stopping until .ml starts getting defederated from so we can move past their toxicity
:( I just want alien overlords already got damnit
