@KellyScaletta @Acyn But in English we usually place this type of adjective before the noun. We would say “big apple”, not “apple big “, so it would seem strange to say “apples big”

[Jared T Nelson @JaredTNelson]

And for everyone arguing that “attorney general” is correct because they are not “generals”, that is exactly the point

In normal English, we would say General Attorney. The flipping of the word order is likely from French or Latin where the word order is different from English.

[Jared T Nelson @JaredTNelson]

I agree it should be changed; an easy fix would be for “General Attorneys”

People hate this type of counter-intuitive legalese gatekeeping by lawyers, and even among lawyers that I know everyone specifically hates this pedantic “well, actually” it’s “attorneys general” nonsense

[Acyn @Acyn]

Vance: It’s attorneys general right? Not attorney generals? We ought to change this.

If hindsight is 20/20 I was 20 out of 20 predictions wrong about this one. Gordon Chang levels of wrong. No major turning point, just a slight indication of a slightly better relationship. Not bad, I guess, all things considered.

[Jared T Nelson @JaredTNelson]

Trumps visit here seems like a major turning point in China-US relations. A lot of friends I talked to here in Shanghai view it as an olive branch that he comes here, and are hopeful about the business connections, but are still concerned about the meetings.

@DanLinna @BerkeleyLaw They should have run this through AI before finalizing it - the rule prohibits an “upload” of materials, ignoring the fact that you can run a local version of many leading LLMs that require nothing to be “uploaded” at all…

Any competent AI would have caught that error.

@xuchuanmei Wonderful, thank you

[Jared T Nelson @JaredTNelson]

A key detail that is gaining interest for the Trump meeting in China - no women are at the table from either side for the main meeting, and the US side is all older white men.

[Jared T Nelson @JaredTNelson]

@xuchuanmei If this is him, I’m sticking with “older white male”. (If not, apologies to the older white male pictured here)

China is getting a huge soft power boost during this Trump visit

Supportive coverage on mainstream and social media

Even when being attacked, like this Fox News clip, still looking good - two minutes is a long time to park illegally in a huge capital city. Give them a ticket.

[Breaking911 @Breaking911]

Fox News crew in Beijing got ticketed by CCP surveillance cameras after illegally parking for just two minutes.

A quick shorthand for all the foreign media covering the Trump visit to China about the quickest way for a close approximation of pronouncing China’s leader’s name, just keep this in mind:

[Jared T Nelson @JaredTNelson]

@ProfRobAnderson It’s really good, and I think it’s much better than original flavor. Have you tried their Scorpion sauce? Even spicier and also a great flavor.

[Jared T Nelson @JaredTNelson]

@DrScottM Yes

Extraordinary-
"We are not quarantining anybody,” a CDC official told reporters on a call Saturday (about passengers returning from the hantavirus ship) When asked if passengers will be tested, a CDC official said, "it is not recommended to test people that do not have symptoms."

[ABC News @ABC]

A CDC official said the federal government doesn't plan to have the repatriated American cruise ship passengers quarantine upon arrival in Nebraska. https://t.co/BJ034SzI4p

@jborstein @PeterDiamandis Come to China

[Jared T Nelson @JaredTNelson]

@laowai_shanghai Unbelievable…

Hopefully that convinces them to make some big changes to the current plan
