祈祷明年USA的中期选举，能够给这个国家再一次自我修正的机会。希望民主党至少能重新夺回众议院，制衡一下疯狂的牢川和MAGA小将们，不能再让他们肆意妄为下去了。家底再厚也经不起四年这样的折腾，这距离牢川二进宫才只过了十个月。

祈祷小泽能熬过这段困难的时期，牢川想跟牢普签订互不侵犯条约就让他们自己签去吧，我相信历史最终会给牢川和小泽一个客观的评价。

就算因为全球化体系的积弊和经济下行压力导致全世界不得不集体右转，也希望各国不要继续走向民粹化、NAZI化。搞身份政治、民粹主义，在网上炒作阴谋论，打压迫害社会中的弱势群体，无助于解决实际的经济问题。

希望年底的《疯狂动物城2》、《阿凡达3》能够再续前作的辉煌，票房口碑双丰收。希望明年的《蜘蛛侠brand new day》和《复仇者联盟5》能延续今年《Thunderbolts》的质量，重振漫威电影宇宙和超级英雄题材。希望《奥德赛》、《沙丘3》、《马里奥银河》、《玩具总动员5》等明年的大片都能成功，尽量把某些德不配位的电影票房排名往后挤一挤。 

希望GTA6不要再跳票了，能够按时发售，同时能对得起玩家十多年的等待，让全世界玩家见识到电子游戏居然还能做成这样。祝愿它发售当天就能突破千万销量，首月轻松超越某123:45五字游戏的总销量。

希望观众、玩家的审美越来越高，所有山寨、抄袭、疯狂炒作营销的作品都能被市场无情淘汰。

希望XRL能跟限韩令一样，有一个好的结果。限韩令助推了K-POP走向世界，希望东亚其他国家的优秀音乐人们也能被全世界更多的人看到，他们值得。（比如我最喜欢的ATARASHII GAKKO!原本在自己国家人气平平，但海外出道后，凭借高能量的现场live水平在北美爆红，也让自己国家的很多人重新认识了她们。）

愿2026年美加墨世界杯跟2022年卡塔尔世界杯一样精彩，能给全世界足球迷再贡献一场盛宴。

最近AI相关企业的财报都非常好看，行业对AI算力的需求也越来越大，suno v5、sora2、gemini3的表现也都惊艳了互联网，我相信AI泡沫短时间内还不会破裂。但希望AI在高速发展的同时，不要那么快取代普通人的工作岗位，而是成为帮助普通人提高生产力和自身价值的工具。希望硅谷的精英能多反思技术进步的双面性，在追求生产力、效率的同时，也要关心价值理性，在产品中融入更多的人文关怀，真正做到don’t be evil，不要开发个大语言模型就把自己当成造物主了。

愿2026不是更坏的一年，而是一个新的起点。

Until recently, international students have been granted the permission to take online classes while remaining in the US. This all changes on July 6th 2020, when the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) modifies temporary exemptions for foreign students.

Nonimmigrant F-1 and M-1 students attending schools operating entirely online may not take a full online course load and remain in the United States.

Active students currently in the United States enrolled in such programs must depart the country or take other measures, such as transferring to a school with in-person instruction to remain in lawful status.

What this means is international students that are taking online classes only will not be permitted to remain in the US in the Fall. Sounds reasonable, after all, the conditions of the visa is to take offline classes.

The logic works out.

But we have to remember what led to schools turning to online classes in the first place, a pandemic.

Forcing hundreds of thousands of foreign students to leave the US in the middle of a pandemic, is a humanitarian disaster. They might get sick on their way home, or worse still, not able to find a way home. This is not surprising considering the global aviation market has basically collapsed since no one is travelling. Many countries impose entry and flight restrictions, such as China which only allows for 1 flight to 1 city per week for each airline despite having hundreds of thousands to millions of Chinese citizens in the US.

This causes more chaos in the already chaotic environment, and impacts more than just foreign students. Leasing contracts will be broken, schools will see their income dramatically reduced, and this increased wave of travelling will almost certainly result in more COVID-19 infections. Thousands of colleges are already struggling because of the pandemic and many of them will likely be forced to close down or declare bankruptcy.

The consequence is not just merely 1 million people needing to leave the US if their schools do not re-open in person in the fall, but the fall of the global standing of the US.

Trump administration is openly declaring to the world that they do not consider what others might think or how they might be affected when making decisions. They are declaring that the US is not welcoming foreigners, legal or not. They are declaring a new world order, where the US is absent from the world stage, too occupied to care, and not interested in what price others have to pay when making US policies.

Foreign students are invaluable to any country, even to North Korea, because it is education that shapes minds, and minds shape foreign policy. Welcoming international students shows a country’s openness and willingness to engage in international affairs and projects its soft power. When foreign students return to their countries of nationality, they are likely to deepen mutual understanding and reduces conflict between the countries, as they have seen both sides as humans. Instead, when foreign students are forced out of places where they call ‘home’ in the middle of a pandemic, the tales they bring back to their countries of nationality will be less than favorable.

United States has just created a huge problem for not just international students, but for every government on Earth, because nearly every country has citizens inside the US. If F-1 and J-1 students are the first to go, which visa classes will be next? How to arrange for their transport back to their countries of nationality? If this policy is upheld, we will likely see global resentment towards the US and a tsunami of planes from all the governments to bring students back to their countries of nationality. With this tsunami of planes comes with the tumbling down of trust in the US, trust in her being a responsible actor on the international stage, trust in her being a reasonable decision maker, and trust in her economic and political stability. For the United States of America was founded by immigrants, built by immigrants, welcomed immigrants, but now closing itself in and pushing out immigrants.

This is not the first, nor the last of the artificial humanitarian disasters created by the US. Losing America’s position on the world stage does not seem to matter to Trump. Just like he has pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement, he continues to create more disasters for his country and the rest of the world, and edges us, humanity as a whole, ever closer to extinction.

When the United States, the most powerful nation on Earth, decides to do things one way, countless other nations will follow. The consequences might appear now, as Siberia reaches 100 F/38 C degrees, or later, as 3 billion will either be forced to live in uninhabitable environments, or simply, die.

America has spoken, “I will not engage in international cooperation, I do not care about the consequences of my actions, I do not care if other countries are hurt, I will not use my position as the country with the most resources to deal with problems humanity faces as a whole, because they are fake news, and most important of all, I DO NOT CARE!”

And we will all be burning because of her.
