I profess history in the strange land of Wisconsin. I was born and raised, and spent most of my life in greater San Diego (the part adjacent to the border and then Chula Vista), with time away at school in Santa Barbara, and six years in Tokyo.

live in the city, La Crosse, WI, where they originated. Cool that La Croix made it to Manila. I wonder about elsewhere in Asia.

It is really something when Sean Duffy, the dumbest human I’ve covered in my nearly 3 decade career, will likely end up being the “best” cabinet member

They’re going to do this and then they’re going to run for reelection on terrorizing everybody suffering from the homelessness this will create

At least in my case at UCSD, my committee would not have scheduled the defense unless I was going to pass. I doubt it would be different in your case. Also, Stefan Tanaka, Tak Fujitani, and Masao Miyoshi (along with the two others) did almost all of the talking. It was more for them than for me.

It's looking like a lot of people do not like Elon M.

After Trump's Win, Bluesky User Numbers Surge as Musk Foes Leave X As Elon Musk’s social platform becomes swamped with political posts and partisan aggression, Bluesky reported 1 million new members in the week after the election.

Heard about this on NPR yesterday. Glad to be included in something potentially constructive in the wake of black Tuesday (11/5).

Arguments on social media are not something I want/need.

A Dutch Japan scholar at Leiden recommended it while in Japan. I'd like to do anything to work towards undermining X now if possible. But so far I feel cautious because of unfamiliarity. With FB I feel confident that I can largely control who sees my posts, but not here, not yet anyway.
