“Literature always manages to slip through the real and symbolic walls of oppressive governments. Asymptote may be a small chisel and drill, but these things force cracks that, time and again, have eventually brought the walls down.” -Eliot Weinberger New issue out! www.asymptotejournal.com

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Pleased to talk with WaPo tech writer @danielleabril.bsky.social about the impact of the AI boom on the translation world. This International Translation Day, let’s take a moment to appreciate all that translation does to foster human connection. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

AI is taking on live translations. But jobs and meaning are getting lost.
New artificial intelligence-driven capabilities are expected to accelerate the shift from translation done by humans to machines.

“I believe that in the realm of literature we are, each of us, free. Free to imagine, to invent, to change our minds, to travel through time, across space, to feel and experience the full breadth of ourselves, and […] to step into the mind of another.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Well, well, another Year of the Snake! Gosh I was so obsessed with this tale before moving to China back in 2012, and I still remember watching “Green Snake” with a friend—both of us Snakes, both of us yearning to be somehow both green and white snake at once. www.sixthtone.com/news/1016587

“sometimes you said goodnight I understood that it was not for me” Such a treat, always, to read thoughtful works like these in translation!
