Dan Da Dan is one of the rare narratives where both leads are a very similar range of AuDHD-coding and the show is off-the-rails *wild*

But it works so well because the setting is so absurd that the setting drives the story around them.

I have officially begun exercising again, and resuming it confirms what I already knew about myself: I fucking hate it, never get the benefit of "endorphin rush" and therefore participate in it only under duress, ie, the knowledge that as a 56-year-old person, if I don't, later life will suck more.

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Scott Rozelle likes to describe himself as “a farm boy from California” but he started learning Chinese at the age of 12, long before the PRC opened up towards the West.

In Episode 14 of “Living History”
he tells us how that came to be.
