the honour is ours! 🤗

I highly recommend this book--as well as reading it while listening to "Non-Stop"😆 🎶Why do you write like you’re running out of time? 🎶Write day and night like you’re running out of time? 🎶Ev’ry day you fight, like you’re running out of time 🎶Keep on fighting in the meantime

This is terrible and I really wish scientists had heeded the warnings from colleagues in the liberal arts

The decline of local news is undermining the volume of coverage of political scandals and the electoral consequences of them for politicians www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

"...for protests to succeed, they must be backed by movements with the ability to promise to withhold—labor, debt payments, rent payments, or consumer support—and to follow through if demands aren’t met." Glad to have gotten the opportunity to push this line in Time time.com/collections/...

The way Trump is doubling down on this and it isn't a giant scandal is another failure of our political press. And also a really good defamation case for Abrego Garcia if he ever gets out.

You know why European countries are so quiet about the El Salvador situation? Because they started the normalisation of extraterritorial detention of migrants and asylum seekers, often without any due process. The UK’s Rwanda plan. Italy’s attempted plan with Albania. And some still want to do it.

A rare public protest in Chengdu "Without political reform there can be no national rejuvenation" "The people do not want a party with unbound power" "China does not need someone to dictate her path, because democracy is the way"

Look at the we-don’t-give-a-shit-heedlessness of this official statement. A whole cabinet department without ordinary shame.

两个月前接受“学人Scholar”的采访,昨天上线了: mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Y0NeY5efWy... 标题是《美国困局的草蛇灰线,在几十年前就已经埋下了》,不过美国政治只是采访内容中很小的一部分,主要其实是在聊关于学术和公共参与的问题。

🎙️new episode dropped!🎙️ in this recording of an in-person event in Shanghai, @linsantu.bsky.social talked to @lizhiliu.bsky.social about her highly acclaimed new book From Click to Boom @princetonupress.bsky.social shicha.buzzsprout.com/1171871/epis...

“Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business…Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive govt funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

米歇尔·戈德伯格这篇文章很有意思,当特朗普的所作所为完全出乎右翼政客的预料时,他们是怎么做到180度大转弯的。

No response from political theorists, as most Political Science departments in U.S. universities have eliminated their Political Theory programs through the last two decades.

My conservative grandmother voted for Trump I and then moved into a senior living facility with mostly liberal neighbors. She was disgusted by Jan 6, can’t stand Trump now and attended a queer pride event recently that the facility sponsored a table at for residents. Proud of her.

I wrote about the kidnapping and potential deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, the histories of repression this case is built upon, and the new and horrifying moment we are experiencing.

So dumb. For what? What is gained?

【官方通报:患精神分裂的女硕士卜某从家中走失到山西的山沟沟里,被一村民收留13年生了2个小孩。真是有中国特色的喜事、善举啊。】 警方通报:近期,我局青城派出所民警在社区警务工作中发现,和顺县青城镇土岭村居民卜某(女)不能准确表述自己的身份信息,派出所民警在山西及周边省市开展了大量核查比对工作,成功于11月26日与该女子父亲卜某贵(晋中市榆次区居民)取得联系。经警方确认,卜某(女)系卜某贵直系亲属。经初步调查,卜某(女)于2011年5月从家中走失,后被山西省和顺县青城镇居民张某收留,相关情况正在进一步核实调查中。

再说个去急诊。我去年真的倒霉快年底时右膝盖错位,第一次被救护车送到急诊。因deductible已交满,ER账单保险公司全出。但是救护车小四千美金,保险公司只想支付七百多。救护车公司急了让我联系保险公司。我被告知只是一个预估赔付,救护车公司不接受那保险公司再评估。我心想这要不问下,余下的钱得我付了。最后让我付了三十多美金,是个充气的大腿固定装置费用。保险公司的理由是“非必要”。 但是幸好消防员用它固定我的膝盖,在ER等待治疗的两三个小时期间膝盖才自动复位。要不然膝盖还得人工复位。保险公司认为该装置“非必要”就是毫无道理!我不想再理论,付了完事。

超级内耗的袁老师为了一碟醋(转发澎湃几年前对我的一篇采访)包了一整桌饺子(写了篇一万五千字的长文),连带着我也花了几天时间给她打厨房下手(帮她改错字改病句)。大家不赶紧趁热吃完这桌饺子的话,可就太对不起她(也对不起我)了,哈哈哈。https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/QODG-4GG80RUfp7dBMW8XA

程炼老师昨天去世后,从友邻那里看到了程老师的学长李喆以前写的系列回忆文章:《徐孩子和程孩子》https://wenxuecity.com/blog/202310/71805/4000.html 和过去从几位老师那里零零碎碎听到的经历相互引证,令人感慨良多。其中有个历史细节,是我过去不曾注意到的,不知实际影响是否有作者说的那么大:

我家领导给拙著写了篇书评🥰 mp.weixin.qq.com/s/k2NG51OlkR...

I created a starter pack for sociologists studying China: go.bsky.app/NetJdDm. We study China’s labor, gender, family, inequality, organizations, education, professions, media, civil society, protests, immigration, as well as politics and history. Let me know if you want to be added (or removed).
