I’ve been watching the Three-Body tv series from Tencent, based on The Three-Body Problem book trilogy. It’s an incredibly faithful adaptation of the books, which I’m enjoying. If you’ve never read Chinese literature, there’s something really unique about SciFi with a perspective that tends to be much less protagonist focused.

The funniest thing though, is that I now get YouTube ads in Chinese. Most recently, I even got an ad clearly targeted at Chinese-American parents for a Kumon style online learning to get your kids into a top university. Years of using YouTube, and 10 hours of watching a Chinese show and their algo is totally confused.
