Grateful for the opportunity to sit down with @BonnieGlaser in DC to talk about how the US election could impact Taiwan. This is part of a longer interview, coming soon!

@aadilbrar That’s wild. I’m wondering how many people still use pagers any more? Where does this company sell to other than Lebanon? Why does Hezbollah have so many?

The pagers that exploded in Lebanon were made by a Taiwanese company named Gold Apollo.

@cjuroz @PURPLESPOON @holataipei What’s the cafe? Looks nice!

Mid-Autumn Festival coffee in Yangmingshan. Do you recognize the temple in the background? ☺️🇹🇼

The LA 2028 Olympics will feature an interchangeable “A” designed by various local artists.

@skramerwrites Just make sure that they aren’t speaking in Taiwanese… it’s super common and means “fake” as in “my gay” (don’t be a faker).

@VKlker @jimo31351624 I’m not… both have faced incredible opposition, and both performed with grace under pressure. My original post was not about the Algerian boxer at all… y’all need to chill.

@thefeast @jimo31351624 Dog they called her a man because she's African why are you making this a competition

Imagine having to defend your gender and nationality on top of defending the gold. Only one person has had to do that at the Paris Olympics. Her name is Lin Yu-ting, the pride of Taiwan! ❤️

@jimo31351624 I also applaud the Algerian boxer! She’s great. But Lin also faces the added pressure of people questioning her country. No need to get defensive and call people racist.

@thefeast You are full of shit. The woman from Algeria comes to mind you racist piece of s$IT.

@RockVica Indeed!

@thefeast We are proud of her, she is a real hero! ♥️♥️♥️

Lin Yu-ting has won a gold for Team Taiwan in the Women's 57kg boxing event at the #ParisOlympics.

When, on 12 June, Elon Musk made Likes on X private (so that only a post author can see who likes their post) this seemed like a small change. But small changes in complex systems like X can have big, unpredictable effects. 1/7

@foreignersinTW Anecdotally, yes! Perhaps less than 30 years ago, but it’s still a thing.

@thefeast That’s never really stopped anyone from swimming, has it?

“There’s going to be a pool there, so bring a swimsuit” “Got it.” Taiwanese people:

@TaiwanBirding I’m here for it!!

@thefeast ❤️ Imagine the kerfuffle on the podium when I unfurl my Blue-magpie flag.

How can there be breakdancing, but no old-world-warbler-high-above-you-in-a-tree-identifying?
