Anyways, one of the Tianjin families that owns a bitch recently sold a puppy to a young actor, who regularly posts videos of himself and the puppy. Whoever is managing his socials posted a narrative that the actor found a “stray dog” and decided to raise it. That makes me irrationally angry lol.

Thus far it hasn’t produced a puppy mill situation, but that’s a possibility. Corgis, teddy bear poodles, Westies, hairless cats, short legged cats and other pets went from uncommon to ubiquitous via kennel overbreeding. Animals that used to cost tens of thousands of RMB now often wind up as strays.

One of my dogs is a fairly rare breed, with only a few thousand puppies born around the world each year, with most of the dogs in China originally bred in Russia. Because the breed is so uncommon, many of the owners in China know each other and match their dogs for breeding for sale or ownership.

Save the nostalgia, save the world.

Across Asia, people are discovering that staple dishes that were once reliably cheap are no longer so affordable, as the shock waves of the Iran war spread around the world.

“Long-term energy transition” isn’t sexy stuff. But the correlates of war from climate change can make (have made) for some grim fiction.

so I just want to emphasize something here that non-media people might not pick up on: Marisa is an independent journalist and is taking on the risk of being sued by Moraff here without any institutional backing. That's admirable bravery - and also means being very, very certain of the facts.

She’s gonna move a lot of books so she wins in the end. I haven’t read her translation but it’s highly regarded. Much like the Nolan movies are highly regarded by most people 😉

The possibility of arbitrage could be offered as analysis rather than criticism. Doesn’t mean the supermarkets are a bad idea, mind you.

This is a Ghost Rider subtweet.

I like the washing machine that looks like it can wash one pair of pants at a time.

This will be a very visible retrenchment of the UK for international science and space audiences. Also of note is the UK’s withdrawal of contributions from the Hawai’i and Chile telescopes.

Bobby Junior steals our sandwich.

Imagine a pomelo-sized plum.

My take on this discourse is that it’s one thing for Wilson to judge the faithfulness of Nolan’s adaptation, and as an expert we rightfully defer to her. But she also asserts authority over Nolan as a filmmaker and declares his films (plural) wanting. That’s not expertise, that’s snobbery.

She was Hayao Miyazaki's "right-hand" collaborator from the '70s onward. Her name was Michiyo Yasuda -- the best color designer in animation. Yasuda's eye for color gave Ghibli's work a totally different look. We explore her methods: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-artist...

Trump literally uses “All politicians are corrupt” to excuse his own behavior. Cynicism fuels him just as it enabled Putin and Chavez.

Did Piker originate that idea or did he simply push it to his audience? Either way he’s the main figure associated with it.
