Mao, More Than Ever

A revolutionary general who never made the leap to running a state. Plus David's hundred-day ankle and the question every modern China historian dreads.

We will wake up one day and the Kennedy Center will be half demolished, and the Supreme Court will rule that it’s illegal but too late to do anything about it.

Trump is speaking to complete silence at the NASA center. Not a single person is applauding or reacting to anything he says during his brazenly partisan speech.

Between October 2025 and July 2026, the U.S. accepted 10,258 refugees. All but three (3!) were white South Africans. Regardless of your opinion of South Africa's laws and government, I don't know how you could call this anything other than an explicitly racist policy.

This might be a more compelling argument if Iran wasn’t making Trump look like a feckless fool on a daily basis.

If you want the most insightful and informed overview of the current state of A.I. and its implications, listen to this conversation. Cameron Berg's analysis is cogent, informed, deep, thought provoking, and of course, a bit disturbing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRbZ...

How many Chinese characters do you really "know"? Douglas Hofstadter, author of "Godel, Escher Bach", describes the fascination, fun and frustration of learning to write and read Chinese characters. Any learner of Chinese will resonate with Hofstadter's journey. www.sino-platonic.org/complete/spp...

Japanese scientists have confirmed a monumental discovery: asteroid Ryugu contains all 5 nucleobases essential for DNA and RNA. By analyzing 5.4 grams of material returned by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, researchers identified adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil in similar proportions.

We have a lot going on. The president is busy repeatedly claiming that a crowd of 5,000 is magically 150,000 and it’s not even a top ten story.

Jared Kushner conducting Middle East diplomacy while simultaneously cultivating Middle East sovereign funds for a private firm isn’t just a “conflict of interest.” it’s the ethical equivalent of setting fire to the idea of public service.
