I’m watching Stargate SG1 again because it makes me feel better.

I did and I am all in on Nam Phương now!

Insta-buy!

This is the content I came for.

He’s an even bigger chud than normal in this regime because he’s smart enough to know way better. Also his entire project to laser focus on China is down the crapper.

If you were a literary writer of a certain bent, the last empress of Vietnam would be a kick arse subject for a novel. (Unfortunately, that ain’t me).

A tiny sack of shrivelled Aussie sultanas. I wonder if Albo will be the first to endorse Trump’s use of a nuclear weapon against Iran when this war gets even further off script and the orange dementor gets it into his rotting pumpkin husk that...

FFS Albo…

Probably from the old HL Mencken quote: “The only way for a reporter to look at a politician is down.”

Got a sick feeling that Trump and his moron court have fucked this up so badly they’re gonna get to a place where they think the only way out is using a nuclear weapon.

They honestly should be winning a bunch of literature awards, but they won’t because they’re genre.

A condensation-covered martini glass with a lemon twist sits on a wooden table beside a small bowl of nuts, while Hue’s panoramic nighttime cityscape glows in soft, colorful bokeh beyond a large window

Great series. Mythic fuckin stuff.

I was in transit today but have arrived in Hue

I would love to attend this concert. Please send tix.

Also, reporters generally don’t choose their own headlines

It’s awesome

Scouting scenes for a couple of novels. Just did 9 days in Seoul for the same.

Set up with a cheap beer on a rooftop bar in Hanoi and the music is a wild 80s mashup. Thirty seconds of Men Without Hats, then Salt-n-pepa and Huey Lewis and honestly I wish escaping our bullshit timeline was this easy.

WTF is wrong with you, Albo?

The King is mad

Actually, Harry, it would be a nice distraction

I was about to say exactly this!

Nooooo. That will take months. Get a guy in and tear out the wall. Or move house.

There are still many scooters, but now a lot more cars

IKR!!?!

Arrived in Hanoi where the drivers have a strange new respect for traffic lights and it’s freaking me out.

You would not believe how much time I have spent thinking about this

JB and a giant Korean rabbit

Made a new friend in Seoul

This fried chicken and beer joint is super strict
