Watching James Medlock make fun of China for the timid incrementalism of its "war on poverty", and watching the tankies try to attack him and get beaten down, has been the highlight of my week on Twitter

Chinese policymakers are reassuring rich people that their push for greater equality will in large part be through voluntary charity encouraged with tax incentives, not government handouts https://t.co/KIxQ4dvMzu

Canโt remember where I read it, but apparently the reason the Enterprise D needs *three* computer cores with superluminal processors is because the entire LCARS interface runs on a platform-independent Javascript framework.

Spaceballs hiring. It's not working. ๐

Hiring at Microsoft: We'll let you know in a day or two if you're getting an offer.
Hiring at Google: In a month or two we may have passed through all the hiring committees, but timing depends on the high chancellor seeing their shadow when the eastern star rises over Jupiter.

No force on earth will possibly induce me to tone down dismissive sneering directed at BritHawks whining that the United States did not choose to wage perpetual war in Afghanistan.
It is one of the most absurd & contemptible phenomena in world politics today. Fuck off. https://t.co/XjsjPai6NA

We were there in the first place because America asked for assistance, and then proceeded unilaterally withdrew without consulting its allies, creating mass confusion and scrambling in the process. So maybe tone down the dismissive sneering a bit there bud. https://t.co/xFFFPoqj0a
