My good friend, Steve Moore, died 12 years ago. Back then, I made this in his memory. Our friendship started as two Yijing geeks meeting in cyberspace, not because of his comics or Fortean Times career. Through him I got to befriend Alan Moore. We both got to write his obituary in Fortean Times, Alan talking about his life long friendship with Steve and me talking about Steve's contributions to the field of Yixue. He's still dearly missed.

Here are 10 ways that Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will make your life more expensive:

1. Your utility bills go up as we lose clean energy investments and electricity costs more;

2. Your rent goes up as predatory housing companies artificially jack up prices;

Heard the sad news about Brian today and thought about all the years I’ve been listening to him and admiring his genius. Rest in peace dear Brian.

Given recent developments, this seems like an appropriate reminder.

@RnaudBertrand I visited both the Jinsha and Sanxingdui museums this summer and also was blown away! Here is a commemorative coin I purchased at Jinsha—I award these to my students for good work in my Chinese Civilization class!

@laurenfturek @Trinity_U @coateslibrary I also can’t wait! Thanks to you, Abra, and the EAST and MAS programs for your hard work in initiating what hopefully will be a permanent program for the University!

In 2009 when I started studying Chinese, a big thing at the time that helped me stick to it was: Any time I mentioned to someone I wanted to learn Chinese, I'd get intense positive feedback:

"man that's so smart"
"oh you're gonna find a great job"
"that's the future, right?"

@RicardaBeatrix @ImreGalambos So good to hear! I also will be heading there in a couple of weeks after 5 long years!
