Back in December we saw the Seoullo 7017 linear park, near Seoul Station. Absolutely lovely. Well worth seeing if you're in Seoul. Full gallery: camerondcampbell.smugmug.com/East-and-Sou...

I missed this whole boat. Seems like for some reason, none of these people are interested in hearing about Qing population, or Qing bureaucracy.

Again, what is it with people like Brooks who at some point get anointed for no apparent reason and then end up as tenured Serious People who we have to listen to for decades, no matter how trite, repetitive, misinformed, or just plain wrong they are?

OH COME ON. Brooks knows fuck-all about "society at large".
"To help address rising public skepticism of higher education, Yale is launching a new program that will expand access to the transformative work of universities. Started by President Maurie McInnis, the Presidential Senior Fellowship will bring to campus experts to foster respectful debate and bridge the academy with society at large. As part of this effort, author and columnist David Brooks will join the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs as a Presidential Senior Fellow starting February 1.

Basically the Torment Nexus meme

Anonymous Netizen: "I invented the term 9-9-6 as a warning about the danger of overwork and exploitation!"

(a few years years later)

Tech Billionaire: "Realizing the brilliant vision of an anonymous netizen, we are now instituting 9-9-6 as a company requirement."

He'll monetize this for years with gigs on right-wing media, merch, endorsements, maybe a meme coin. Wouldn't surprise me if that was his plan all the time.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The Border Patrol chief was the public face of a traveling immigration crackdown on cities governed by Democrats.

You've found the knock-off 山寨淡水 that was built as a tourist attraction in the boom years. Didn't get as much attention as the Venice and medieval English Village copies.

We've never eaten there either, because every time we walk by, they tell us it is a two hour wait. Not worth it. For Shanghai cuisine we actually like 方家小馆 in Tianmu.

Yeah. My impression was that the line at that one usually wasn't as long as at the one at Xinyi/Xinsheng. Might be wrong.

Cameron D. Campbell 康文林 @camerondcampbell.blog · 6d
Not as long as the line at their flagship on Xinyi Road near Xinsheng, every time we walk past it and ask, the wait is like two hours. The wait in Breeze is a lot shorter.

Even before Saturday’s killing, Minnesotans were angry. The police chief called for protesters to stay peaceful. If they manage that, they will have demonstrated considerably more restraint than the armed officers of the federal administration econ.st/4rilp7L

Explanation for the (to me) baffling Trump-penguin image. Amazing that right-wing nuts are embracing memes based on Herzog films.

The origin is a Herzog documentary in which a solitary penguin abandons reason and the rest of the colony and heads for the mountains 70km away. It's certain death, but the researcher explains even if he fetches the penguin back, it'll still head for the mountains.

Rod Stewart calls out “draft dodger” Trump for denigrating the service of allied combat vets, and says that PM Keir Starmer must insist that Trump publicly apologize.
