My take on a recent history of the Internet: lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-lo…

You’re a fucking liar with blood on your hands.

The VPRI video archive got some more addition. A box was left behind when we moved out from an old office, more than 10 years ago, but the box was kept by the care taker. The box had 20 or so video tapes, and those are digitized.

@Moudhy Yeah but how do we find you at the other place?

So an insane story by @musharbash_b, a private equity roll-up of fire trucks is why more than half the fire trucks in Los Angeles were out of service during the catastrophic wildfires in the Palisades and Eaton.

This is the correct take. DS9 is the best Trek.

@daniel_dsj2110 Widespread social media use is a return to a kind of "primary oral" culture (in the Ong sense), which is ripe for mysticism, rumors, hysterias, etc. It shouldn't be surprising!

The top 10 billionaires increased their wealth by $589.4 billion so far this year. 56% of Americans don’t have the savings to cover a $1000 emergency. Wealth hoarding by oligarchs is crushing the working class. This isn’t Right vs Left — it’s the top .01% vs the rest of us.

This took a lot of hard work. We are proud to announce a new Taiwan Studies track of the East Asia MA program at the University of Washington. This would be the first Taiwan Studies graduate degree in North America (and second in the world). Apply by Jan 31 for fall 2025!

The book I'm looking forward to the most next year

there was a time when grown men could put on tuxes for the photo-shoot of the cover of the book on the newest version of their sweet programming language and i am furious just absolutely enraged at what they have taken from us
