He's such an idiot that if he did do something on the Moon, it would probably be a radioactive waste dump that explodes and sends the Moon shooting off into interstellar space, like in Space 1999, destroying the Earth in the process. And investors would still line up to finance him.

Beautiful!

Rob Schneider and Scott Baio did stand-up routines, Vanilla Ice and Ted Nugent played a few songs, Jon Voight re-enacted some favorite scenes from Deliverance and Midnight Cowboy, and James Woods did a one-man show written by David Mamet.

I was introduced to 怪味胡豆 while in Chongqing and now I am hooked.

Even worse when the widow went to claim his life insurance it turned out ninja attacks were specifically excluded.

Yeah they're becoming a real problem on long flights. Last time I flew from Tokyo to LA there was one in the overhead compartment who assassinated the guy next to me by lowering a loop of piano wire around his neck and garrotting him. They almost caught him he set off a smoke bomb and vanished.

Ninja, on the other hand, make use of their skills of stealth and concealment to skip the checkpoints entirely, with carry-ons full of shuriken, fukiya, kunai, as well as vials of poison that are much larger than 100ml.

Also has by far the highest density of hotpot restaurants of any place on Earth.

Yes. We are only here for the weekend, for something else. Need to come back for a longer stay.

Breakfast in Chongqing this morning, at a small shop. 小面 and 抄手.

Chongqing CBD seen from across the river, at night.

I never attended Oxford!

I can't hear or read the words Winter Olympics without thinking of the ski jump wipeout that illustrated "the agony of defeat" for the ABC Wide World of Sports opening back in the 70s.

We walked around Chongqing today and I concluded that the geography of some parts of the city is mathematically impossible.

Also depends on whether the dataset was the one used in the manuscript, or was used in one of the papers on the same topic cited in the manuscript.

Could have sworn that this was something that Dennis Hopper the photographer said about Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.
Vance: There was a moment in the Oval Office, I wasn't even in there, but Trump was talking to Kaitlan Collins. Trump says, 'Why don't you ever smile?' And it's actually, like, so perceptive. Have some fun.

Why was someone at JPMC taking advice on doing business in China from Jeffrey Epstein of all people? 4/4

Need to create a permanently managed Guangxi (sic) network consisting of current and former leaders and working level members (not just senior!)... 3/4

Don't forget that Giving Face is important in China! 2/4

I searched the Epstein files for 'Chinese' and it turns out that Epstein was dispensing advice to Jes Staley about how J.P. Morgan should do business in China? Some real gems in here. First, JPM needs a Guangxi (sic) network www.justice.gov/epstein/file... 1/4

The real crime, if there was one, would be a wine that didn't pair well with the sushi and cinnamon rolls.

A movie that had one of the most insane endings I've ever seen...

And here's a tote bag with the gangster cult leader from 周处除三害!

My Taobao recommendations sometimes go in some very unexpected directions

The rocket powered roller skates they ordered from Acme haven't shown up yet and they're upset.

Yeah I'm having the exact same reaction right now here in HK.

I'm actually surprised at how few sellouts from other disciplines have shown up in the files. I can think of historians and political scientists who shill for the rich, but for whatever reason, none of them have showed up in the files yet. Really seems to be something about psych and econ.

Yeah I think it's the interaction of the two. In both econ and psych, you have certain people who present themselves as worldly, outcome-based problem solvers, in contrast with all the otherwordly weirdos like us who study sociology and history and philosophy.
