For those of you who are in Singapore, I am bringing back Parisalon. Before covid we met over curated Jeffersonian dinners to discuss issues like climate etc. Due to interest, the salon will return as opt-in and more open. If interested and you know me on WA, lmk.

Excited that tomorrow, at Kinokuniya's main store, this book will appear on its shelves: singapore.kinokuniya.com/bw/…
goodreads.com/review/show/51… My positive review of Ricks' book on how Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison were influenced by the Greeks and Romans, while I wonder why this matters in our modern world. Thanks to the invitation from the non-fiction book club of Singapore.
Sixth row. #USAvNED an hour away. Many thanks @sportsroadtrips for the tip.

#SheScores Canada gets the first goal. Awesome to watch the commitment by both sets of players. This to me is the pinnacle of the #WinterOlympics

I can’t believe I got #Rickrolled three times in one episode and I enjoyed it.
In a quiet lounge in a quiet airport. #serenity

I never liked Black Mirror. Rather I'd say there's a Bluth family episode in this...
Carbon offset forests burning as a result of wildfires fueled by climate change is so darkly satirical that you'd expect it to be a Black Mirror episode, but it's reality. We can't net-zero our way out of disaster ft.com/content/3f89c759-eb9a…
I will be judging Inclusive Fintech50 again this year. Apply now.

Replying to @CPHAirports
@CPHAirports I am thinking of connecting from Singapore to Iceland through CPH. It's a 95 minute connection. I am fully vaccinated. Do I need a PCR-test? I am only in TRANSIT and not entering DK

Just finished Shuggie Bain by Stuart. Read my review goodreads.com/review/show/38…
Kang wrote a thoughtful letter to the Times about race and violence against Asians. He ably critiques Asian-conservatives while rightly pointing out that "Asian" is itself not one thing. nytimes.com/2021/03/06/opini…
