Verdict about three years running in the premodern Asian lit survey is that Zhuangzi was the kinda guy who was in your dorm room too late on a Saturday night *cough cough.

In this roudtable, faculty will share strategies for limiting use of digital tools, electronic devices, and other distractions from the classroom as a means of helping students reclaim their attention and fostering classroom community.

Academic translators who do it for walking around money, what are your rates?

Professional translators, what are yours and do you feel that me doing this because I have another source of income undercuts your work?

erm, regret to inform you that I probably don't need to inform her that "Yankee Doodle keep it up and show the girls you're handy" is kinda the same NSFW-wise, just a little less onanistic.

Every ranking member of a House or Senate committee should be doing exactly this.

I have no clue regarding the difference between "dese jawns" and "dose jawns."

The entire rest of the faculty now have a motive to kill him! (yes, I am quite sure it's a him)

Starting to feel like Wilkinson is in cahoots with Apple. I don't know how much longer before my 2012 edition is a brick.

Whoo boy, that one's a toughy. I don't think he has the stomach to go full Mishima.

Academia does itself a disservice by undervaluing translators and their potential readers. I think this is slowly changing, for reasons both good and bad.

Yes, it is. IMO, this is because many European languages are closer to English and it's more reasonable to expect to read and teach in the target language.

"Chinese" (e.g.) has almost zero cognates, and is actually multiple spoken and written languages.

Sometimes I do feel like messaging is a lot simpler than people make it out to be.

Good thing he can't read, or we'd be opening Angel Island back up as well.

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores. An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week.

They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions.

Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

I feel like these levels of corruption and incompetence make us perfect hosts for the World Cup and the Olympics. We can start building some stadiums with slave labor and have them only partly finished before the opening ceremonies. The theme of both ceremonies will be "harmony and truth."

I don't know why Elon Musk is sitting in on Pentagon briefings. If he wants to know about war contingencies for China he can just head on into the shitter at Mar-a-lago like everyone else with a guest pass.
