Happy MLK Day.

The ethical case for resisting AI I had my moment of reality regarding generative AI in my chemistry and physics classes this past term. I’ve always had the student frustration “I can’t Google your homework problems!” as a point of…

Another headline on Sina right now: "As Americans Rush to Xiaohongshu, It's the End for Jewish Capital!"

According to this piece, zoomers are joining the app because "they don't want to be controlled and brainwashed" by shadowy Jewish tech barons. Welcome to the world of PRC media, we hate it here!

Happy New Year! Out with the old and in with the new!

University in Hong Kong hires 100 overseas, mainland academics in 2-year drive One new recruit at University of Science and Technology points to Hong Kong’s fairer gender opportunities and more generous government funding for research.

Fascinating article. Especially interested in how since the Trump election last week and Rubio's appointment yesterday, this HK uni could snap up so many academics from the US. Impressive lightening speed academic job search!

Just learned that I have been 8 yrs on the Twitter of blessed memory. Reminder that I have been meaning to move permanently over here.

While ~this~ happened, my new article came out:

Ping me for a copy! 🗃️

Speaks volumes about what? I want to understand what she thinks it means.

For now, I will just say that the series underscores how well the novel depicts the expat bubble. It was never clear to me whether Lee was critiquing that segment of society, but she certainly understood it and wrote it well.

Only two episodes are available now. When it is all up, we can unpack!

I have been trying to avoid the reviews until I watch it. This one is in my queue.

I would say not to bother, but I would like to hear your thoughts on the "orphanage" scene in episode 2.

I will watch it using a VPN, but making the point, as folks in HK predicted, the series about HK is not being streamed in HK.

I'm writing about it. I deconstruct watch.

Can't watch The Expats in Hong Kong!

Just read in the SCMP that HK is considering raising university tuition for the first time in over 20 years!

This story is just so incredibly sad.

Dr. Antionette Candia-Bailey, may her memory be a blessing.

There are many reasons why people are leaving Hong Kong, and I'm not sure whether articles like this will help or hurt those left behind.

Only in HK! SCMP invites an attorney who gaslit a victim of domestic violence to speak as an expert on #METOO.

This soy sauce is truly the best!

Since we seem to handing out jobs to Nobel laureates these days, let's hire Claudia Goldin! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!

Read the room!

I think he thought he was helping his friend, but he may have done more damage.

Took him three months to get a full lab set up? Took me three months to get a computer, and I was not allowed a laptop.

It's good to hear that his research is respectable. Maybe he just doesn't understand the whole history of British empire thing.

Hong Kong's new nobel laureate. So on brand and then some.

Welcome Jeff!

I second this. "To Be Continued" "尚未完場" is truly wonderful.
