[【屈默：“拆”字为何挂在中国驻加拿大使馆门口？】继中国驻美国大使馆遭“拆” 字涂鸦后，中国驻加拿大使馆近日也被挂上写有“拆”字的白板。拆迁是当下中国各 级政府乐此不疲的大事。在各大城市街头，随处可见“拆”字。一个“拆”字，几乎就 是一部老百姓的血泪史。对此，政府需要反思，而不是愤怒。] (After the word "demolish" was spray-painted onto the front entrance of the Chinese Embassy in the U.S., a white board with the same character was affixed to the fence of the Chinese Embassy in Canada. Forced eviction is currently a favorite activity among Chinese authorities at all levels. We can see the word "demolish" everywhere on the streets, amounting to a people's history of tears and blood. The government needs to reflect on this situation rather than get angry.)

[昨日，身为清华大学高管的@易延友 发表言论力挺一一的律师：＂强奸陪酒女比 强奸良家妇女危害性要小＂，被网友喷成筛子后改口为：＂强奸良家妇女比强奸陪 酒女、陪舞女、三陪女、妓女危害性要大＂。最基本的人人平等你特么懂么？连清 华人都这素质，国家未来堪忧啊，不多说，围观傻逼！] (Yesterday, Tsinghua University professor Yi Yanyou made the following comments in support of the lawyer of [Li Tianyi]: "raping bar girls brings less harm than raping innocent women. After a wave of criticisms online, he made a different comment: "raping innocent women is more harmful than raping bar girls, disco girls, escorts, and prostitutes." Do you even understand the basic concept of equality? If Tsinghua-educated people are like this, the future of our country is in danger.)

[公众哗然于曾成杰的被“秘密”执行死刑，如果人们知道，此乃死刑执行的常态， 甚至只是死刑执行中诸多人性与法律幽暗深处的小小一角，又该当何想呢？公权的 傲慢与狂妄，司法的冷酷与残暴，其实远远超出人们想象。清算总会到来，即使我 深怀敬畏，即使我日日忏悔，即使，我也是那该被诅咒与被审判的一员。] (The public is in uproar over the "secret" execution of Zeng Chengjie, but how will the public react if it is told that this is how execution is carried out normally in China and that this case is only a small corner in the vast darkness of human nature and the legal system? Official power is so arrogant and out of control, the judicial system is so cruel and cold that it is beyond our comprehension. The day of reckoning will come. Despite my fear and daily repentance, I am also one of those who should be cursed and judged.)
