My journey studying Chinese over the last 5 years led me to one of my life's major accomplishments: reading my grandfather's memoir. meekwarrior.substack.com/p/i-studied-...

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

Funnily enough caring about moral victories more than winning is the true liberal attitude. Anyway

no one does 小资 ("petty bourgeois") lifestyle better than the Chinese

Instagram comments check. Mamdani still has low info voters on lock.

I’m furious because we have had to spend so many goddamn hours responding thoroughly to endless procedural inquiries from the damn NPC and they just decide to ignore and move the goalposts like always because it’s not about a real commitment to BDS or convention, it’s a petty revenge fantasy

I believe any other politician would have had breathless coverage like "Trump defends Cornell 7 from gang rape allegations"

Just saw You Can See Everything

I believe DSA is good and worth fighting for and I encourage you to join as a member so we can kick some annoying people out of leadership next summer

Idk if I'm DSA LA and/or Nithya I'm just claiming we got a little busy. A lot going on with one week left to election day and GOTV and whatnot

Uber driver in South Carolina asked me my thoughts on Mamdani and then I asked him who he liked for US Senate and he said he didn't know who was running and I lowkey made fun of him and he said he didn't follow politics - even tho he's the one that brought up the mayor of a city he doesn't live in 😭

remember hilaria baldwin pretending to forget the english word for cebolla. what a time

Also, I'd love to know how two different stories -- each written by three reporters, with no overlap in the authors -- managed to find Jolene Riessen and make her the stand-in for apolitical Iowa farmers.

lmao

"on an unrelated note" 🙅‍♀️ all phenomena are inextricably interdependent

One fun thing about nearing 40 is that I've discovered the joys of NPCism. Sometimes I'm walking around and realize I'm thinking I'm the protagonist, and then I just turn on "Asian Uncle" mode and it's like I pressed the Active Camo button. People just literally let me walk in wherever I want.

Man's going to prison because of some cute bow socks and loafers
