How cool to see Mike writing about Amos Yee here! Amos was detained in Chicago on his way to visit...me. If anyone's moved to donate towards his relocation in the US, you can do so here: https://www.gofundme.com/amos-yee-relocation-fund
Sadly, Illini Shuttle/Suburban Express is the only game in town. I need to get to ORD for a speaking trip later this month and am trying to explain to the university sponsoring me that no way, no how will I use Suburban Express to get there. I'm going to try taking Amtrak to a southern Chicago suburb and then a (more expensive) cab from there. It would be nice if there were a decent bus to ORD from Chambana, since so many people need to go there.
Thanks! That's a lot of boring text to slog through to extract a list of countries. Also, which is "naughtier," the Priority Watch List or the Watch List? Has someone out there made a brief "at-a-glance" list?
The great thing about hegemonic powers is they decline all by themselves. The US has been on the way down since the early 1970's, and our descent velocity is only increasing. So buck up, India, and enjoy the ride!
Remixing is an art, yes. If done skillfully the result will be coherent and meaningful. I don't think that happened here, so the adverb "brilliantly" may be misplaced. Or maybe I'm just too old to dig the hip unreadability or something.
