China's disastrous first president
What can we learn from democratically elected Yuan Shikai, who appointed himself emperor?
"A man is successful…He’s made his way to the top of his field, accumulating personal loyalty, and more than a few enemies, on his way to becoming one of the most recognizable names in the country.
Unexpectedly, he decides he wants to be president…"
New Rhyming Chaos with historian James Carter:

A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.
Open up this picture fully.
Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.

Stop.
Read the post below.
Do what it says.
Look at Earth - our home world - from the surface of Mars.
You are a terranaut on that fragile planet.

A screenshot of a search input in the British Library's interim Explore Archives and Manuscripts catalogue.
An interim version of the Explore Archives and Manuscripts Catalogue is now available through the BL website: searcharchives.bl.uk
It contains all the catalogue data from the eve of the 2023 cyberattack, and features embedded links to all currently available digitised content within the records.

Not directly related but if you haven’t yet encountered it I strongly recommend Thinking Like Your Editor, by fortunato and Rabiner. Invaluable advice. Best to read it early in process.

Highly recommend. If working with a trade press (or wanting too) it’s really essential. Also the agent gives great advice on proposals etc and advocate for you

Thinking about this more, perhaps you could ask Love Of Your Life the same question of freshly prepared food. Do you a) put it on its own plate, or b) on the plate you used for yesterday’s dinner?

Headline: Why Trump’s cuts to scientific research are a big win for China
Subhed: China is attracting American scientific talent, especially in STEM fields, partly due to funding cuts and immigration restrictions under President Donald Trump.
This is what every single person with any experience in China has been warning about from the start.
Very good WaPo story by Katrina Northrop and Rudy Lu. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1... And good, clear headline!
