@hirako13 I mean Reviewer 2 might say this but Reviewer 1 still wants 3 rounds of revision and then reject the paper 😆

[Leo Chu @Leo_CL_Chu]

New publication! Building on the biopolitical literature of family planning, my article scrutinizes population and development in postwar Taiwan from the perspective of political theology. @PolTheoNetwork

@rdrisms I wonder if the biggest contribution of umamusume to the racing ecosystem in Japan is actually contents tourism (especially Hokkaido). Again, this is something I guess lacking in the US...

@ichiroao In fact, the "95% male" data was during the first week of the game's release in 2021. Apparently female players then increased. The report I quoted already suggested a male-female player ratio of 85:15 in 2022. Perhaps it's still the case now.
