Xi also basically told them that ASML is a nice to have, but not a must have at this point. So get with the program or retreat completely from the Chiense market.

also, way more wumaos in the US than I thought, maybe they thought Taiwan is part of China.

a glossed-over episode in PH postwar history is the ‘64-‘65 wave of anti-indonesian hysteria: racially-charged anticommunism led macapagal to arrest & deport thousands of immigrants, accusing jakarta of invasion plans & NPC subversion & only ending w/the slaughter of the PKI

a lot more to be drawn from this nexus in PH, SEA war history than in one tweet but a story for another time. also worth investigating are their connections to anti-chinese fears under [President Diosdado] macapagal: deporting the yuyitungs, the retail nationalization act coming into full force, etc.

pics from: pp. 196-197 of macapagal the incorruptible, his reelection-campaign puff biography by american & british journalists; & pp. 249 & 253 of crisis of rev leadership

the sheer mass of people who live in the malay archipelago always gets me, also the history of how the left was stomped and murdered into submission in every country there. I think Indonesia still has a blanket ban on any party identifying as left/socialist

The key to eggplant is to salt it heavily then leave it for a couple hours, then rinse the salt off and squeeze the juice out.

Yeah you gotta squeeze the salty juice out of the eggplant, that's the trick*

As long as you salt the moisture out of it and decently cook it, it will come out fine.

You got it backwards, Disney saw the success of GOT and used Star Wars as dangling carrot to bait D&D into finishing the last season in most nonsensical hurry fashion. HBO could have milked GOT for 1-2 more seasons with competent makeup plots. See House of The Dragon.

And once Disney saw D&D hosed it up and just said oops we change our mind kthx.

Netflix was them scrambling and looking for a project. Both Netflix in general and D&D are dumpster fire so I aint watching the new 3BP.

the 3 body show was fine, and led to a funny take i saw: that the red guard struggle session scene showed why deng had to put down the '89 student protests
