Contrary to what I thought, I am not working at a 'truly' elite school.

The parents of one of my students are trying to get her into a school where the fees are close to ₹30 lakh/year 😱

(Almost 5x what they pay here)

Lovely (as in educative) thread here. 👇🏾

I had heard of the authors but hadn't read anything by them.

“You think Trump has thought it through?” he asks. “I don’t think so. Trump is really simple. He doesn’t think very deeply.” Trump’s brain, Wang told me, is a 'qian dao hu' – a lake with 1,000 islands, none of them connected."

He somehow seems to have access to unpublished books (and even books that no one should really know about yet) that no one will admit to sending him, which has led to speculation that it is someone from inside the publishing industry here!

Óútgefnum handritum stolið: Kallaði rithöfundinn skíthaus - Vísir Á síðustu mánuðum hafa óútgefin handrit Þórdísar Helgadóttur og Nínu Ólafsdóttur lent í greipum bókaþjófs. Þetta er ekki í fyrsta skipti sem þjófurinn lætur til skarar skríða en ólíkt áður lætur hann ...

Do you remember the book thief? Now Iceland seems to have a homegrown one, who – if he can't phish unpublished manuscripts from authors – will then taunt them with passages from their stolen book.

But! Plot twist! Those emails are sent from an address impersonating Bernardini, the original thief.

‘Americans are democracy’s equivalent of second-generation wealth’: a Chinese journalist on the US under Trump | China | The Guardian The long read: Once a stalwart of Hong Kong’s journalism scene, Wang Jian has found a new audience on YouTube, dissecting global politics and US-China relations since the pandemic. To his fans, he’s part professor, part friend

"When I asked how the US media was doing covering the US, he burst into laughter. “If I were the New York Times, I would be putting curse words on the front page every day,” he told me. “F-word, F-word, F-word.” "
