The story of Princess Lucy
In the past, there were two princesses, one called Princess Lucy and one called Princess Jodi, who lived in two weak countries respectively. Lucy was a kind princess, beautiful and lovely, Jody was also very beautiful, but she was very arrogant and thought she was the most beautiful princess.
Finally, a big country wiped out all the weak countries. The army attacked the palace and the ladies-in-waiting panicked and fled for their lives. Lucy and her father, on the other hand, changed into the clothes of the ladies-in-waiting and soldiers-in-waiting to escape from the palace. Jodi and her father were killed because they did not want to change into the clothes of the maids and soldiers to escape from the palace, saying that it was degrading so they were found by the army and killed.
Lucy and her father fled to the countryside and were recognized by a woman, who immediately knelt, which made Lucy feel very surprised, Lucy took a closer look and recognized that it was a woman she had saved five days ago. The woman called Lucy her benefactor, but Lucy said she was not used to calling her Lucy, so the woman complied. In order not to attract the attention of the enemy, Lucy called the woman her sister-in-law, and the woman called the king her father. Since the woman and Lucy polished the fruits clean every day, they were liked by the people and everyone was willing to buy their fruits. After a few weeks, the women and Lucy's fruits became famous in the city.
When the young king found out about it, he sent someone to arrest the woman and Lucy. After the woman and Lucy were caught in the palace, the king told the woman and Lucy to raise their heads, so the woman and Lucy had no choice but to comply with the order, the king looked back and was amazed by Lucy's beauty.

Plato's Basket
A man felt that life was heavy, so he went to see the philosopher find a way to relieve himself.
Plato said nothing but gave him a basket to carry on his shoulders and pointed to a gravel path and said, "Pick up a stone to put in it at every step you take and see how it feels." The man began to follow what Plato said, and Plato walked quickly to the other side of the road.
After a while, the man reached the end of the path, and Plato asked him what he felt.
The man said, "It feels heavier and heavier."
"That's why you feel that life is getting heavier and heavier." Plato said, "Everyone comes into the world with an empty basket on their back, and every step they take on the path of life they have to take one thing from the world and put it in, so they feel more and more tired as they go."
The man asked, "Is there any way to relieve these heavy burdens?"
Plato asked him in return, "So which would you rather take out: work, love, family, or friendship?" The man listened and was silent.
Plato said, "Since all of them are difficult to part with, think not of the heaviness of carrying, but of the joy of having. The basket of each of us contains not only the gifts given to us by God but also responsibilities and duties. When you feel the heaviness, maybe you should be glad that you are not another one, because his basket may be much bigger and heavier than yours. When you think of it this way, don't you have more joy in your basket?" The man listened and realized.
Insight: life in the world would have a lot of happiness and joy, do not always carry the burden of the past on your body and put it on your heart. Be optimistic and think about happy things more often, and you will find that your heart is naturally much lighter.

Riddle
Why is the forest so busy today? Oh, it's a riddle contest.
First, the monkey asked a question: "Sitting is also sitting, lying is also sitting, standing is also sitting, walking is also sitting. Guess who it is?" At the end of the sentence, the eyes of the animals all turned to the snake. The little monkey shook his head, and the little frog jumped up and said, "That's me."
The little pig then said the riddle: "Who uses thread without needles? Who lights a lamp without working?" The rabbit answered, "The spider is the one who uses thread without needles. The firefly is the one who lights the lamp and does not work." The little pig nodded and everyone praised the little rabbit for its cleverness.
The atmosphere was very active as the animals answered the riddle.
Finally, the elephant trunk, read a poem: "a general cloak, two generals yellow robe, three generals fat head and fat brain, four generals thin scraping." Everyone knew that the four brothers were the lion, the tiger, the bear, and the wolf. The wolf was so angry that it croaked.
The riddle-guessing activity was over, and the little animals went home happily.

Chinese EVs Closing In on America After Canadian Tariffs Deal
The electric vehicle race is no longer just about climate goals or consumer choice — it has become a geopolitical contest. And in early 2026, a subtle but powerful move by Canada may have tilted the board. By agreeing to sharply reduce tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, Canada has opened a door that the United States has worked hard to keep shut. While Chinese EVs are still largely barred from the American market, they are now edging closer than ever — not by crossing the border directly, but by entering through Canada. This development raises a pressing question: Are Chinese EVs closing in on America, and what does that mean for the future of North American auto markets? The Deal That Changed the Game Canada’s new agreement with China allows up to 49,000 Chinese-made electric vehicles per year to enter the Canadian market at a tariff rate of just over 6%, a dramatic drop from the previous 100% tariff that effectively blocked them. On paper, the quota seems small. In reality, it carries enormous symbolic and strategic weight. For years, both Canada and the United States aligned closely on keeping Chinese EVs out, citing concerns over unfair subsidies, national security, and the protection of domestic auto industries. This new deal marks a clear shift — and a divergence from U.S. policy. Canada didn’t make the decision in isolation. The EV tariff reduction was part of a broader trade reset with China, tied to agricultural exports such as canola and efforts to stabilize a strained economic relationship. Why Chinese EVs Matter So Much China is the undisputed leader of the global electric vehicle industry. Its manufacturers produce EVs at scale, often at prices Western automakers struggle to match. Brands like BYD, Nio, and Xpeng have already expanded aggressively into Europe, Southeast Asia, and parts of the Middle East. North America has remained one of the final fortified markets — until now. Chinese EVs are appealing not just because they’re cheaper, but because they’ve rapidly improved in quality, range, and technology. For consumers priced out of North American and European EV models, Chinese vehicles offer something rare: affordability without sacrificing features. Canada’s decision gives Chinese automakers their first legitimate foothold in North America — and footholds tend to grow. Why the U.S. Is Nervous The United States still enforces a 100% tariff on Chinese EV imports, making them effectively unsellable in the American market. But Canada’s move has triggered concern in Washington. U.S. officials argue that Chinese EVs entering Canada could indirectly pressure American markets, influence supply chains, and weaken Washington’s leverage in future trade negotiations. There’s also a political dimension. Both major U.S. parties have framed Chinese dominance in EVs as a strategic threat — not just to auto jobs, but to technological leadership. Modern EVs collect vast amounts of data, and lawmakers have raised concerns about cybersecurity and foreign data access. While Chinese EVs aren’t rolling onto American roads yet, their presence just across the border changes the conversation. Canada’s Risk — and Opportunity Inside Canada, the reaction has been mixed. Automotive hubs like Ontario worry that opening the market could undermine domestic manufacturing and strain relations with the U.S., Canada’s largest trading partner. Some leaders have called the deal “lopsided,” warning it could cost jobs if American retaliation follows. Others see opportunity. A more competitive EV market could lower prices for Canadian consumers and accelerate EV adoption. It may also attract Chinese investment into Canada itself — including factories, battery plants, and supply chain partnerships. If Chinese automakers choose to build in Canada rather than simply export to it, the country could position itself as a bridge between Chinese EV innovation and North American demand. That balancing act — between economic opportunity and political risk — defines Canada’s strategy. Are Chinese EVs Really ‘Closing In’ on America? For now, the answer is: not directly — but strategically, yes. Chinese EVs sold in Canada won’t automatically flood the U.S. market. Regulations, trade rules, and tariffs still stand in the way. But proximity matters. Supply chains overlap. Consumer awareness spreads. Manufacturing footprints expand. There’s also the possibility of a workaround: Chinese companies could eventually build EVs in North America to bypass tariffs altogether. This idea has already been floated — but it faces fierce resistance from U.S. lawmakers and unions. Still, history shows that once a global industry leader gains regional access, momentum often follows. What This Means for Consumers For Canadian buyers, the impact could be immediate: more choice and lower prices in an EV market that has long been criticized for being expensive and limited. For American consumers, the effect will be indirect — at least at first. But increased competition could eventually pressure U.S. automakers to reduce prices, improve features, and accelerate innovation. The larger question is whether North America wants competition or insulation — and how long insulation can realistically last in a globalized EV economy. The Bigger Picture: A Global EV Power Shift Canada’s tariff deal reflects a broader reality: China’s dominance in electric vehicles is reshaping global trade, whether governments like it or not. Europe is already grappling with an influx of Chinese EVs. Emerging markets are embracing them. And now, North America has its first real crack in the wall. This isn’t just about cars. It’s about who controls the future of clean transportation, supply chains, and industrial policy. Final Thoughts Chinese EVs aren’t driving down American highways yet — but after Canada’s tariff deal, they’re closer than ever. This move doesn’t spell immediate disruption, but it does signal a shift. One country has decided that economic pragmatism outweighs political alignment. And in doing so, Canada may have opened the door to a new phase of EV competition in North America. Whether that door swings wider — or slams shut — will depend on how the U.S., automakers, and consumers respond. One thing is certain: the EV race just entered a new chapter.

A building's lifetime climate impact is mostly determined by its daily energy use.
The majority of a building's climate impact is not caused by its construction. As the heating, lighting, and ventilation systems continue to function year after year, it gradually accumulates.

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
