riz ahmed is so fine like DAMN!!

no thoughts, just napping while getting a tattoo.

today on ny insta feed: saw a furry dancing to eusexual on stage.

in this episode of "I finally cleaned my room", i have discovered a rotten ziplock bag of garlic that my mom gave me supposedly to bless the travel.

hard to not feel annoyed with my dad's delusions when he started ranting off about his disillusionment with life. like dude, you already have 40k followers to feed off your unpleasantness, don't bring that shit back to your family.

i might joke about being anti-Americans but there would be moments it doesn't feel like a joke anymore.

currently watching Peaky Blinders newest movie and they're firing the hottest shot to my heart (dapper lads with patch tattoos).

very excited for the upcoming releases of Heartbreak High, Peaky Blinders, and Vampire Lestat.

called it.

trust me when i say i'm a serious writer with a keen public engagement and a sensitivity for contemporary affairs (i'm addicted to microblogging).

opposing reliance on the US umbrella could be left wing pacifism or right wing ultranationalism. who knows.

pretty please 🥺🥺🥺

It's really not good that faced with the complete impotence of the American left in the face of Israel's genocide in Gaza a bunch of people seem to have decided that being antisemitic somehow makes you more radically pro-Palestine and like buddy it Does Not Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Folks, it's an honor posting with you into the third, or fourth or fifth depending on how you count it, major global economic crisis I've posted through.

folks be calling themselves Chinamaxxing while even fail to count from 1 to 10 in Mandarin.

why every mainstream media outlet sees digital racial talk as lifestyle meme and goes "China soft power" is beyond me

i'm already doing Israel's work simply by listening to Americans tbh.

how possible it is to find southeast asia wonks on here?

on a slight related note on the perception of commoners like my Vietnamese dad - he thought of the USSR collapse to be a significant downfall of a promise land. which made him to be so disillusioned that he turned to being pro-America and later being a Trump supporter till this day.

my workplace is having some major anxiety looking at two-way plane tickets that cost up to $7k and how shipping operations are on halt YET the show must go on regardless of the war.

dreading the email i'm going to send my counterpart over in NYC how shipping shit from Vietnam to America from my end is a pain in the ass, yk just very basic sympathy on how poorer countries don't operate the same way like the Big Empire.

i really think that anyone who is serious about the survival of art and creativity needs to be taking material steps to de-center the US as a site of cultural production. hosting a global industry conference in a country where ppl with certain last names worry about getting black-bagged is shameful.

back in the days, the term VR did not mean weird nerds with funny looking goggles, but rather a sweet fantasy world where you dress up and earn social points to expand your digital capital.

after visiting the US in 1979, Deng couldn't sleep for days

There's a reason why political scientists sometimes call elections bloodless violence.

i have been thinking about this--we are long past the point that it is undeniable that everyone, of every stripe, participates in the video game industry as a player in at least some small way. it is also now undeniable true that video game culture is a tangible political force.

wrt: using the term "zio" in leftist space. i mean sure, you're using the term in a sense that you hate nazis and don't identify them as allies. but also you can't deny that the term is from fucking nazis.

Been banging on about this for years. This was a term that *David Duke* literally said he wanted neo nazis on Stormfront to normalise because it would be a backdoor to anti-Zionist movements. It's was very fucking intentional. We already have a perfectly good term for Zionists. It's "Zionist".

aren't geopolitics are kinda just like...powerful people who got personal grudges and petty vindications between each other but they decide to throw civilians under the bus for it.

duma my bank account got money for sydney now!!!!

breakfast for today: nicotine and sugar.

once my job is less crazy then i'll start writing again.

Every cook can govern but every gov…every govern…every government can’t cook

ok but why do white dudes who play guitar gotta look like *that*.

i actually have a thing with British television.

entering the fourth week of my job and i start to wonder how/when i can start shitposting on company's time while i'm too busy with work.

sometimes i wonder how does it feel like when your IRL network found out about your viral post via a screenshot floating on Meta platforms.

i have watched the ncuti gatwa performance of the importance of being earnest and can report that it is indeed very good especially the costumes! and lady bracknell!

got a tip off that the local voting centers are making up participation numbers so the news can say something like "over 90% people turn up and vote".

my old boss is catching so much heat on fb that all three of her businesses gotta deactivate on social media, the beef got so intense that a private fb group was created with more than 2k members in it.

i'm going to be so brave and post as if this account is on private.

😭😭😭😭😭😭 dawg u wouldn't wanna hear the words i would spit back to you stupid expat in both english and vietnamese like get your fucking savings elsewhere idfc.

it's voting day in vietnam rn and genuinely there's little to no substantial campaign that explains the voting system at all. the fact that the government already decided Federal positions and now we're voting locally is just absurd.

cringing at my old posts but i do understand that they were all from a place of earnesty.

I grew up with an English dub of this animated movie, and I’d always wondered where the style found its roots. It feels apiece with the Cartoon Saloon style of animation, but I think their aesthetic commonalities are indirect. youtu.be/b_vt3aPW8Hk?...

netflix stop churning out misogyny slop challenge.

instagram geopol might be one of the worst genre of political media.
