@DefectorMedia Was surprised and sad too when I listened to the @jaycaspiankang episode this week. Been missing https://t.co/We9rQcmhVP for years. Shout out to recent great episodes from @mckinneykelsey and @tessahulls. My wife and I devoured feeding ghosts and already lent out our copy

@DefectorMedia making a merch request… I’d buy a ‘it’s time to show ship’ t shirt ty

@heathercampbell Whatthehell, I’ve uncovered another layer to this old tweet. I referenced Rutherford above, of the Rutherford model of the atom, who was apparently born on the South Island of New Zealand 🇳🇿 Ao Te Aroa … so advanced science knowledge was being generated from all over, even then

[Chou @socialchou]

@heathercampbell Coming way back to this tweet to point out the dateline on the article ... outside of Auckland is lovely, I’m sure, but certainly not the center or source of new atmospheric science in that era. Like those folks could get it then, but us now? *farting noise*

@dearclarissa @NewYorker A new crop is coming in

[Chou @socialchou]

@dearclarissa @NewYorker Amazing article! Our back alley in central Texas, chile piquín grows wild. I often have to pause and think to confirm whether people are referring to tepín or piquín, both little pearl shaped peppers

[Chou @socialchou]

the results are jarring compared with how Texas still thinks ‘make our electrical grid, but make it Enron’ is a good idea

[Chou @socialchou]

Like, the idea of having an isolated grid would be good if you invested in it to demonstrate the ingenuity of your state and its people. And not to squeeze out every cent of profit and pocket it for the few. RIP SSC forever and ever.

[Chou @socialchou]

It was lost on me until right now that Taiwan is actually an important counter example for this, since being booted from the UN and world institutions they’ve had to fund and sustain institutions on their own. And the pandemic was a big test and well,

@dearclarissa Pronounced Sky-pee ?

[Chou @socialchou]

@DefectorMedia I’ll appreciate a heads up when the ‘dig her up’ discourse is launched, ty

[Chou @socialchou]

@AustinChronicle @weluvvideoatx Cool, so you’re opening up right across from the former Phara’s

[Chou @socialchou]

@AustinChronicle @weluvvideoatx Boo your latest report that Plow Burger is gone for good now, was so sad when it left the flag store

[Chou @socialchou]

@Helenreflects @doctorow Also monetary policy is important too, right? But not mentioned in the piece. Devalued 元 also allow bosses to reap bigger profits from foreign factories.

[Chou @socialchou]

@Helenreflects @doctorow Thanks for sharing, I’ve been scratching my head about property and IP and free trade and now I’ve got some terms to take to the library!

[Chou @socialchou]

@AustinChronicle I don’t think a place can be an interesting community and also be a high performing asset in a portfolio

[Chou @socialchou]

@AustinChronicle Like drafthouse went bankrupt and hired in dizny execs and topo chico sold to cocacola

[Chou @socialchou]

@mer__edith @KatieJWells Got this from the library because of this tweet and it’s been my horror-stories-before-bedtime ritual recently. This challenging and gut wrenching and I can’t look away

[Chou @socialchou]

@NPRextra @NPRCodeSwitch @NPRMichel @MorningEdition @UpFirst Oh? Tell me more

[Chou @socialchou]

@chinotronic I found a great article by @ShellyPSChan after seeing a tweet from @tony_zy that mentioned Wang Gungwu and put his name into the search bar at the library. Lim Boon Keng lived quite a life!

[Chou @socialchou]

@chinotronic can you rec some reading from your syllabi that talks about diaspora and how culture emanates out and is incorporated back? Recent news has me thinking a lot about the subject. I liked your comprador pacific paper a lot.

[Chou @socialchou]

@chinotronic Also has there been some prominent folks studying the Chinese diaspora? My family is from Taiwan and I’ve been thinking a lot about 🇭🇰 🇲🇾 🇻🇳 🇸🇬 🇺🇸 too
