Americans censoring American institutions. Americans: "Is this Soviet style?" Nah, bud, pure homegrown fascism.

fraud papers on AI research getting past fraudulent peer review & then fraudulent AI-generated papers also getting past fraudulent peer review—what's even the point of peer review anymore? science is so fucking cooked

Shanghai from the 1990 to 2010 is insane

I think something under-commented on in discourse about china is not only the scale of contemporary development, but also the starting point of that development -- this is what chongqing looked like in the 1940s, certainly less developed than a comparable US city of its population at that time

It gets exhausting watching people race to find the worst takes from the most hateful people about things they ostensibly like.
