    This is just to highlight something from one of my favourite podcasts. Already pretty famous and apparently very internet famous right now. Mike Duncan is a ‘kind of famous’ podcaster who does accessible ‘deep dives’ into historical events. He made a name for himself by going through the entire history of Rome, over about 10…

    Ok, so I moved around a couple of jobs. Because I was not doing well in Wenzhou but they liked me, they sent me to Yangzhou. Yangzhou is another super interesting city. In history it was where all of the salt on the Yangzthe was taxed, in the old days salt was way more important…

    I love these, this is one of those Second Life style worlds that was big in the 00s and then closed down. This video is interesting because the guy tries to find if people are still playing it and why. It’s a very interesting story with a surprisingly nice sweet end. I must admit I…

    I’m still addicted to making TikToks so these are a bunch of clips of songs that I didn’t finish rather than proper songs. But hey, it’s two compilations of 1 minute long songs. One is happy, one is sad. I don’t really have a lot to write, I’m listening to people talking on YouTube while…
