Today we learned about the May 18th uprising in Gwangju back in 1980. Horrifying. And even more horrifying to think the US is headed in exactly the same direction.

Also, the Lenovo IdeaTab Pro that I bought for under $400 has been amazing this trip. Great screen, sound and battery life. Only thing it's missing is a proper kickstand rather than the folding cover.

Oh did I mention that @salchellew.bsky.social and I climbed to the top of Ulsanbawi?

Is there a greater hell than being in Seoul and not being hungry?

Korea is not letting me watch specific YouTube videos (e.g. one from Northernlion) unless I verify my age, which requires a Korean phone number. Brace yourself, Australia, because this is the future the two major parties want.

My @sailyworld.bsky.social eSIM is working immediately upon landing in Korea even though I activated it two days early while I was still in Australia like a dumbass. Hopefully it's still active on our last day here.

I'll take you somewhere nicer next time!

Yuu Sushi is not great for the actual sushi, but their ramen and udon are quite good.

Omg you were in Albury? On the day I'm flying to Korea? Give me a heads up next time!

Hong Kong airport is so modern I expected to find three seashells in the bathroom.

First time I've ever been asked if I'd like milk in my cafe latte!

Matt Hamilton @mabster.net · 11d

Is there a word for when you don't so much "drink" something as "replenish the fluid that runs through your veins"?

The coffee in Korea is top notch too. I always long for Aussie quality coffee when I'm abroad, but SK brings it.

We're spending October in South Korea! Let me know if you're interested in photos. I'll be posting them on FB for family but am not sure if anyone here wants to see them.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

The narrator in The Binding of Isaac just exclaimed "WHAT IN THE HECK?" and that's first time I've ever heard him say that in over 6,000 hours of playing.

Oh haha you made that exact comment about 20 minutes in! But even if the card had been randomly selected before the user guesses it still wouldn't be evidence of them being psychic, as there's no human mind to read.

@standupmaths.bsky.social Re latest video:

I'm not sure it counts as "psychic" if you're guessing something from a website. You're not reading anyone's mind. Precognitive maybe?

@support.bsky.team is it normal for the bluesky Android app to make me sign in again every week or two? Coz it's really annoying.
