Watched the new Bob Dylan biopic with some friends tonight and the topic came up of who is our generation’s Dylan

The (surprising to me) consensus was Sufjan Stevens

China has a reputation of having a big data surveillance system with an overarching system of monitoring everyone in the country

But here’s how I spent my afternoon in Shanghai:

Shanghai Snapshot - deliveries come in from trucks, and are sorted into piles and left on the sidewalk, probably thousands on this block ready for the final delivery

I imaging in other counties these would be ripe for looting, but not here

Breakfast with the Asia boss of a large advertising agency: "20 years ago we employed more than 300 foreigners in China. Now it's three and I'm one of them."

They have more than a thousand employees in China.

An (incomplete) list of actors who played Bob Dylan in movies:

Timothee Chalamet

Is there any other person who has been played by so many A listers?

Bluesky now appears to be blocked in China
At an over/under of 10 days until Bluesky is blocked in China, I'm taking the under.
