They have trapped all of us in their drug and sex cult. And we really are ruled by just this - their drug delusions and their sexual predation.

In case it isnโ€™t clear.

A heroin addict who writes bad porn poetry says eliminating the Hepatitis B vaccine will make kids healthier. Medical experts say it will kill thousands of innocent children. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to believe.

No one is โ€œreplacingโ€ teachers with AI. People are redistributing money to tech companies for AI and replacing permanent salaried workers with contingent, poorly paid ones whose labor is to patch together the system that is being broken by AI.

On the one hand there is the shrinking of Early China as a field in the US, on the other hand new, hard data such as the manuscripts is utterly ignored or it's all a matter of opinions anyways, and not actual information against which to measure one's arguments.

Thereโ€™s many videos of Planter convincingly explaining his changed views. What he thought vs what he thinks and the process that led to the change. The idea that one can never make judgment mistakes ever is very privileged, and shortsighted.

Often I can't help but think if that a woman, especially a POC, would make the banal and often wrong claims Klein does, she would never become so influential.

The second is the creation of a section on the website where new archeological discoveries are briefly introduced, and relevant bibliography listed. This latter would be structured to receive entries by scholars, with a brief revision process. 4/4

She has been regularly attending conferences in Asia, establishing collaborations with Chinese scholars and archeologists. As a board member of SSEC, she has two main goals. One is to re-start the yearly conference for emerging scholars, maintaining an online option to broaden accessibility. 3/4

She has published both scholarly pieces, as well as articles to introduce ancient writings to the field of manuscript studies. Her first book, under contract with Tsinghua University, is a study of six manuscripts from the Tsinghua University collection. 2/4

The president is falling asleep durring a White House cabinet meeting with each member praising him for his resilience. What are we doing America? This is so embarrassing.

Still shocking that we are accepting this is the langauge by a president of the US.

A President.

Speaking of โ€œpiggyโ€, โ€œgarbage,โ€ โ€œpussyโ€. Like that. On a daily basis.
