I think it's a terrible idea to idolise politicians and so on but fucking hell it's so refreshing to see a world leader be like... normal and sensible.

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

This book seems to be saying an Emperor named Yong Le built the Forbidden City but Wikipedia says it was the Yongle Emperor, personal name Zhu Di. I'm unsure as to whether the book is getting stuff wrong or if Yong Le is a legit way to refer to the Yongle Emperor.

Again, I don’t think so much that the mere invoking of Anne Frank/the Holocaust is the true issue; I think what some Jews are reacting to is people calling the parallels out while ignoring/dismissing/contributing to *current* antisemitism.

OK now the author is like "these dudes were Turks" and Wikipedia is like "multi ethnic people including to a lesser degree Turkic people". Also "Turkic peoples" seen dubiously analogous to Turks. Starting to wonder if this is a book I'm going to learn correct things from or nah.

Reading about a military coup where enraged soldiers slew beardless men, believing them to be eunuchs. If only there were some way to tell for sure.

Just started a new book and the first page of the introduction asserts as fact, without a source, something that is contradicted by the Wikipedia page that has a source that is... questionable? God dammit.

Book just like "here's a print of the Tianjin Girls' High School Armed Cavalry Brigade" and fucking what lol. Apparently in the 1920s China was all "we should encourage young women to get an education and military training".

"The Anti-Gallican Society discouraged French imports and fashions, and fervently promoted British goods." This is on a page of porcelain and enamel goods bearing their arms, commissioned from China.

Oh neat, look: here's a dish decorated with the Guangzhou wharf in the late eighteenth century. The foreign traders had Western-style buildings with their flags. And yeah I think that is a Swedish flag there, the Swedish East India Company was active at this time.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

So in the very late seventeenth century the Emperor of China set up glass workshops run and staffed by Jesuits, to such good effect he sent the Pope a lot of glassware in 1721. I know nothing about Pope-China relations in this period but it sounds fascinating.

Extremely cool vase here with trompe l'oeil painting to look like a ribbon tied around it. www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...
vase | British Museum
Vase painted with flowers and a trompe l'oeil silk sash tied around the shoulders. It is made of Beijing enamel on copper. Small amount of damage on the side.

Reading a history in objects and I like this bowl; it was made in China for export, with Latin text, and then a copy was made in Iran with an illegible inscription, and it appears in a Dutch painting. Original bowl is in the British Museum, copy is in the V&A, and the painting is in a German museum.
