The man who set himself on fire outside the UN has been identified as 42-year-old Lobga Rangzen, a Tibetan activist who spent two decades in America.
Dressed in full monastic garb, Rangzen planted a Tibetan flag on the sidewalk at 42nd and First during Thursday's evening rush, then self-immolated as cars honked past, capturing the act on a livestream.
First responders doused the flames within seconds, but he was pronounced dead at Bellevue.
Papers at the scene read "CHINA OUT OF TIBET."
His death carries a long, grim lineage.
Since 2009, more than 150 people have set themselves on fire in Tibet protesting what they call Chinese occupation, calling for the Dalai Lama's return and freedom for the region.

The common belief that simps are just low-value, unattractive, or low-status men overcompensating is not what data shows.
Fear of being single correlates with simping behaviors at r = 0.35. In regression models holding constant mate value, physical attractiveness, social status, dominance, neuroticism, and other traits, fear of being single remains a strong independent predictor (ฮฒ = 0.43) while those other variables add essentially zero unique variance. People readily perceive simps as low in mate value, lacking self-identity, and even exploitative yet none of those actual self-reported traits predict the behavior. The driver is internal anxiety about staying single. Adding causal evidence, experimentally increasing that fear raised simping scores, but only among men who already had a specific romantic interest (jumping from 3.79 to 4.37). In other words, singlehood anxiety can push men into costly, unreciprocated pursuit regardless of how they actually rate on the mating market.

Sexual Dimorphism is a funny thing.
Size difference turns you on. She feels tiny, delicate, vulnerable. You feel big & dominant.
But breed with a petite woman and your son can possibly inherit her small frame and become a guy women don't feel submissive toward
Men's sexual preferences often sabotage their sons desirability

The Bank of Japan finally stepped in and nuked usdjpy from 162.84 down to 160.90 in hours.
You actually have to respect the execution here.
They let it break a fresh 40-year high just to trap peak momentum shorts before pulling the trigger.
The desk reality of this is brutal for late followers.
The Ministry of Finance is using proxy banks to dump massive dollar reserves straight into the bid.
That 1.18% flash crash instantly triggers margin calls for funds running the yen carry trade.
If youre short JPY to fund US equity longs, a sudden spike in your funding currency means your prime broker auto-liquidates the FX leg.
You end up panic buying yen at the worst possible time just to cover margin.
Watch that 162.84 level.
Japan burned $73 billion in April and May doing this exact routine.
If the market absorbs this wave and reclaims 162.84, the BOJ is officially out of bullets.
