I wrote a long-form piece for The Diplomat, explaining how the Party Congress works. I also identify the formally authorized group who makes the final approval of nominated candidates for the membership of the Central Committee. Main takeaways. A thread.

Who will hold #DoDIG into account for intentionally slow-rolling the investigation to nix Mike Brown's nomination to USD A&S? LaPlante was confirmed more than ONE YEAR after investigation start. IG could've done it in a couple months. Chose not to.

Happy birthday to me 🥳 Husband and I first became interested in the current trend for PRC environmental NGOs to use board games to advocate. Who knew, the Party's getting in on the action. This 强国梦 文创桌游 is a board game to test your Party knowledge.

And it's not just the IPCC that's underestimating solar. This is my "oldie but goodie" (updated for 2021) that shows the @IEA was also not expecting the current growth.

I'm also known for designing this chart that shows the IEA has been laughingly negative on solar cells. Here's the original tweet: https://t.co/6VSxYJdrpn Here's the 2018 update: https://t.co/yR0MErqbHp And here's a call for transparency: https://t.co/cwOHfrG3UV https://t.co/jrfra2ZhiM

imagine trying to ‘Understand America’ if you couldn’t read deep analysis of 20th-century figures as influential as, say, George Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Earl Warren, Joseph McCarthy, Robert Oppenheimer and even MLK! @Scholars_Stage other analogies?
