#AmericanAirlines @AmericanAir Called about a ticket just now and was told by the bot the wait time is more than 2 hours to speak with an agent. I think that qualifies as ridiculous.

Shocked to learn that Lou Jiwei, the former finance minister and classic “scholar-official,” is reportedly under investigation (of course, this could simply be another rumor). Lou was known for speaking uncomfortable truths—openly challenging official macro data, industrial policy, and the more optimistic claims of some economists. sina.cn/news/detail/53268726…

Can’t some tech genius in Silicon Valley or LLM solve the delay problem at SFO that was triggered by the new FAA landing rule and runway construction?

The problem with writing a radio script about Apple's Siri is that every time I say the word Siri my phone thinks I'm talking to it. 🤣 #NPR #WWDC

If this goes forward — $250 bill with Trump's face on it. — Chinese will get a huge kick out of it. "250" (二百五， èrbǎiwǔ) is a common Chinese insult meaning a half-wit, a blockhead, a fool. Comedy writes itself. 笑死.

A U.S. judge has issued a ruling that keeps Li Rui's diaries at Stanford, thwarting an attempt by his elderly wife (almost certainly backed by the Communist Party) to bring them back to China. I covered the early part of this trial a couple years ago. npr.org/2024/10/02/120296685…
