Told my mum I wanted to be a scientist at 10; ended up a science journalist. That counts…right?

The Lake Ontario situation was a joke, but now resembles the PRC’s aggressive policies re Taiwan. PRC demands websites, official orgs call Taiwan “Taiwan (China)” or “China’s Taiwan”: many comply. The U.S. now demands organizations & websites call Lake Ontario “Lake America”. Google & others comply.
