    It’s not exactly an original take, but it’s still crazy how we are just watching world war 3 start and we can’t really do anything except comment. Mercenary armies and drone armies returning to earth. I don’t know if it’s true, but people claim that the US army wargames that they absolutely could not beat…

    When I first moved to China, I was in a bad way, I do have this charm which really suits teaching, like people believe what I say, and I think because I have quite weird mannerisms and so on, it’s even more funny for Asians lol. But anyway, I was offered a job in Wenzhou,…

    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…

    Here is some weird ephemera that I found today. I’ve always liked this song, I think that everyone has, it’s really dated, but the vocal is so good. It’s one of those ones that loads of people have tried to improve but noone really hasI’m having a go now lol But the weird thing that…

    Since I am keeping up with this to write about stuff, I am going to write about this and hopefully at least I will read it in the future. 2 weeks ago Newcastle won their first proper cup since the 1960s and it is this very strange thing. We are a big historic club and…

    In China ‘Going Home’ by Kenny G was played in every bar, mall, restaurant, shop when they were closing from 09 – 15. I doubt that he got the money he should have for billions of plays, but for a few generations of Chinese that saxophone music means ‘you have 120 bars of sax noodling…

    “Of course it is impossible. The conscious mind functions during the period of captivity, but upon withdrawal of the Passenger nearly every recollection goes too. There is only a slight residue, a gritty film of faint and ghostly memories. The mount is never precisely the same person afterwards; though he cannot recall the details of…

    I saw a documentary the other day about PM Dawn. It’s weird, like they were one of those groups who did one album and then went right off, but you can still listen to their stuff and it still sounds lush Anyway the story is also pretty common. I’ll retell it from memory and then…
