The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2mo agoFrom @theathletic.com: When Victor Wembanyama went to Gramercy Park before Game 3 to sketch a statue, it was more than just having fun in his free time. It was his process. As he sat there, sketching Hamlet, he saw his perspective on a tragic figure.
Why is the “new” Chinese translation of Rubio’s name still a thing? Reported on this over a year ago
not my place to say it but please come up with a better name than "Wasian"
RIP the last man in Washington with a full collar roll

I'm a big proponent for ties but if you are gonna match your tie to your shirt please just go without a tie thank you
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 5mo agoThe sharp way to wear a tie now? Matched to a shirt. Four winning men’s looks. https://www.wsj.com/style/fashion/the-elevated-way-to-wear-a-tie-now-fdbe9251?mod=e2bs
"Many of the women stayed silent for decades, both out of shame and for fear of tarnishing the image of a man who has become the face of the Latino civil rights movement." This is, unfortunately, common in my experience of working in advocacy.

Just want to point out that the most hilarious part is that all this time (one entire year) these federal workers have been receiving their normal salaries. Lake essentially forced them to go on a year-long paid vacation with tax payer money, which she said she came to VOA to save

Despite embedded censorship and tendencies to produce propaganda, China's AI models have remained popular around the world. In this @chinafile.bsky.social story, I explored why and how AI has become a form of soft power in Beijing’s tech competition with Washington. www.chinafile.com/reporting-op...
Censorship Is Not Deterring Global Adoption of Chinese AI
China tech watchers have quickly pointed that Chinese LLMs face an obstacle almost guaranteed to hinder its capability and potential to compete with similar Western products: censorship. But DeepSeek ...

We’re pretty squarely focused on translation now, but I do want to keep tracking this stuff to some degree, and this is a really interesting pairing:

The US embassy in China usually gets mid to lower-hundred likes for each of its WeChat posts. Trump's statement on the death of Khamenei got over 10,000. (On the other hand, the same post didn't do particularly well on Weibo)
Now that it has reached mainstream media I hope this trend can now die thank you
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 5mo agoDrink hot water. Don’t walk around the house barefoot. Do longevity exercises. Americans are going all in on the Chinese lifestyle.
I created a portfolio site to showcase some of the photos I took over the past seven years. If you are in the DC region and need a photographer to cover any news events (or anything, really), I’d love to connect! wenhaoma.myportfolio.com/work

Somebody please ask Arthur Liu what he thinks of the comments below so we can finally have an answer to our much speculated question
Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social · 5mo agoAmerican Olympian Alysa Liu: I think it is really important also to notice the faults in our own government. Things are a little rough. There's so many protests that are going on and I've attended. Coming from a family of immigrants, I think immigrants deserve rights.
Very sad that kill line didn’t become a bigger discourse in the US because I was so ready to write something about its inventor Lao A after spending two hours listening to his race-mixing theory on Bilibili, which was so racist that I wanted to give myself a lobotomy
Sensing a growing anxiety among general public in China over AI. CCTV did a segment on Seedance 2.0 the other day and the bilibili comments were all questioning if AI will actually lead to a better future. Seen a lot of social media posts complaining about AI’s negative impact in the workplace.
The China media circle here is way too 卷 like what do you mean I’m competing with graduates of Yale and Princeton for some entry level job come on shouldn’t you guys be working at JP Morgan or something
Insane. Rich Chinese man from Xinjiang had over 20 kids in California through surrogacy, kept them in his mansion, abused them, lost almost all of them to forester families, and is still allowed to have more babies.

Okay what's really going on with this Lunar New Year and Chinese New Year thing like is this just the latest manufactured controversy or do some Chinese people have like legit concerns that their culture is being erased..?
Video game is actually the only logical medium for this one of the most overrated franchises. First movie was fantastic but then they just copied and pasted it three more times with increasingly comical fights. Might as well just call it Captain Underworld and have him join the avengers.
