A photo from Caixin reporter Ding Gang of Wuhan doctors paying respects to Li Wenliang.
100% of my WeChat feed, from dissident lawyers to Huawei employees, is raging over Li’s death. Haven’t seen China unified like this since the Wenzhou train crash. pic.twitter.com/lJQE1XMJBQ

Ex.: Would we defend South Korea from the DPRK? Debatable. Would we invest as much in our military superiority? Debatable. Would we be postured globally? Debatable.
If Millennials became a voting bloc to be reckoned with, these views could cause major shifts.

Fascinating data from @ChicagoCouncil. Brought to mind that Millennials = 30% of voters, but only 40% voted in '18 and only 20% voted in '16. If Millennials went to the polls, they could affect US foreign policy, including why/where we sent the military.

New from @SWPBerlin - the "Sino-American conflict syndrome." Excited to dig into this one.

Concussions are the worst. I feel your pain (in a very dark, quiet, and stationary way).

I will be attacking 2020 with the energy of a shirtless Brian Dozier (of the history-making Washington Nationals) dancing to "Calma" while holding the 2019 World Series Trophy. I am *very* excited about this result.

Critical point: "military capability matters far less than the political willingness to use it on behalf of allies. Because the United States is seen as unreliable, what’s necessary to reassure these allies is getting more expensive."

"'The focus has been on her talent, her understanding of the game and her knowledge of the game,' Kane added. “What’s remarkable to me is how unremarkable it has been. And that is the enormous cultural shift.'"

Concepts like work-life balance and "having it all" are mostly academic when you're younger. But once you have a well-developed career *and* a well-developed life, and both are on the up and up at the same velocity, the first time they truly collide is...eye-opening. And unfun.

- largely for-profit healthcare industry disincentivizes wide dissemination of medicine at or below cost = inequitable distribution of antivirals or vaccines = inefficient control of disease spread

- virality of mis/disinformation degrades trust in government = inability to centralize and disseminate information that directs population actions and controls disease spread
