Why We Misunderstand the Chinese Internet Journalist Yi-Ling Liu’s The Wall Dancers traces how the Internet affected daily life in China, showing how similar this corner of the Web is to the one experienced in the West.

An interesting story about China and the internet.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Hard-Line Cleric Who Made Iran a Regional Power, Is Dead at 86

β€œHe was arrogant, literate, obdurate, revengeful, unable to accept mistakes, unwilling to make concessions and given to conspiracy theories.”

Sounds like Trump except for the literate part.

Kinda like killing a cartel leader. There is always another more violent one to replace him.

Frieze LA Meets the Real World Intentionally or not, this year’s edition brought issues of class, labor, and immigration into the fair tent.

Moving non-profit collective AMBOS's booth out of the main fair with no notice is pretty crappy considering that Frieze was happy to beat their own chest about including the group in their press releases.

My main critique of Frieze is that they got rid of the Dobel Tequila booth.

So the women's hockey team had a delicious-looking lunch with Stanely Tucci instead of room temperature McDonald's with Cheeto Mussolini. Good werk.

One of my solutions when I'm stuck on a piece of writing is to do some vaccuuming and talk it out to myself and I realize anyone walking by would just look in and see a deranged housekeeper blabbing about the forces of history.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
