So glad to have hosted @jdimoia.bsky.social in the Harvard S&T in Asia seminar series yesterday! His account of Korean containerization into and through the Vietnam War offered a compelling preview of his ongoing research on KODCO 🚢 seow.scholars.harvard.edu/STinAsia #histstm #histtech

This is huge - congratulations to @sebphilippe.bsky.social news.wisc.edu/two-uw-madis...

James Millward: "One of the things about history in China is that it's very, very often, for thousands of years, been controlled by the state. And I really don't want to see our own history be Tiananmenized the way that the Chinese Communist Party tries to censor its own past."

Charlie Kirk fans threaten HBCUs because they want to lash out at Charlie’s enemies, and theirs, and they’re conceding that means black people. Not ONLY, but definitely.

To explain this photo a bit more: back then, most programming was done on paper (sometimes on special coding sheets), then punched onto cards/tape, then fed into a mainframe to be tested (& if necessary debugged). Counterintuitively, needing LESS computer time was the mark of a better programmer!

That's unfortunate because we have 3.5 years left....

BREAKING: Egypt and China central banks decided to abandon the SWIFT system and move to trade in local currencies and the use of the Chinese Cross-border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) Do you see what’s going on? You won’t recognise the world in 2030.

Sometimes I need to take a step back and get the very basics. That's what this episode with @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social is about. How do we know? What's the evidence? What's the history? Didn't we already have an Iran deal?

FIFA Club World Cup ticket sales tank dramatically after the Dept. of Homeland Security bragged that agents would be “suited and booted" at the stadium in a now-deleted social media post

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

A fascist state looks like a duly elected Senator being manhandled by police for questioning executive abuse of power. Not surprising considering the instigation and escalation of violence we’ve seen from ICE and DHS in Los Angeles. The people deserve better.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

Harvard today, your institution tomorrow. It's all part of the Project 2025 plan to destroy high education in America. All leading US universities depend on federal funding and tuition dollars from international students. They severely curtailed the former. Now they're eliminating the latter.
