Listening to Walking Wounded on vinyl in our Tokyo apartment.

“Wherever you go, I will follow you.”

Always true.

Oh man I’d love to play this on switch.

Ah! It’s up on US iTunes Store now. So glad.

@traceythorn.bsky.social Apologies for the social media question, have looked everywhere first. No way to buy new Best of as MP3? Would love to.

We are in from Hong Kong…_

Like it or not, Mamdani is what Millennials on the left are like: working from a core ethical code, with ambitious goals and no shame over socialism. He’s the best of Warren and Bernie filtered through the millennial POV and makeup of the country. And establishment dems HATE it.

@nickheer.com I *constantly* get words without spaces andnns in between. Like that. Timento go. iOS 26 is insanely worse at things iOS has been fine at for 15 years.

A breezy Halloween Night in Hong Kong

If you never watched Wasteland (also known as The Rise) 2012/ 2013 crime caper you should.

If you need other incentives - very early Vanessa Kirby, great accents, clever plot.

Few things remind me of my place in the world (utterly unimportant, a speck among the stars) more than Shinjuku station on a Saturday night.

I can’t ever explain how much I love it.

Worth the wait.

Holy hell what a year for music. This is epic.

I like and appreciate a lot of the changes and attempts. Bottom bars, easier search, smaller UI when using.
I liked unified photos. One less button.
It’s *shockingly* buggy. Just the Home Screen icon rendering time on waking the phone is astonishingly poor.
And changing keyboards (old/new) = hard

@nickheer.com sending you my Liquid Glass thoughts as I wait for yours:

1. It’s much better than most people’s takes
2. It’s much buggier than anything Apple has ever released before.
3. As apps get updated it’s an improvement.
4. Alan Dye doesn’t get software quality.

The new Subway Builder game is absolutely stunning. I cannot wait for you all to experience it.

Hope everything survives!

@hobbas1.bsky.social hi

When do kids age out of frozen?

Asking for… a friend. Or my sanity.

More Gordi lyric hits:

“And your sister’s had a baby
And you’re not there
And no one wants a postcard
From another somewhere”

Here it is!

My iOS wish list:

1. Download purchased music from Bandcamp
2. Merge contacts in Contacts app
3. Turn off voice message toggle in Message text field
4. Setting to flip the mic and globe buttons so I can use mic (transcription) left handed.

Done!

Hong Kong is huge on custom license plates. They’re often hilarious and esoteric.

Today’s winner, on a Tesla Model Y:

“Not photo shopped”

“FOCUS ON THE GOOD”

How Tokyo became an unexpected haven for China’s middle class An aspirational generation of Chinese arrivals is beginning to shape Japan’s demographic, social and perhaps even political destiny

Realized I should post this as well. Such a great look at a very common phenomenon:
Leaving China asap.

This piece is so good.

“No daddies and mommies allowed,” the three year old says at the door to her school. She waves and turns around without a pause.

So that’s first day drop off done… no tears no fears no second thoughts.

I’m once again intentionally ignoring the news.

Also, I think I’d be better at Silksong if I hadn’t become good at Hollow Knight.
