He can speak English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. He can also read German and Latin. His speech was in Italian and Spanish. Meanwhile, Trump speaks elementary school level English.

Tried tteokbokki for the first time today, that stuff the main guy in Squid Games was eating with his daughter. It was tasty, and I liked the texture, but it was actually spicy for me. I also ate Korean black bean noodles and kim chi and washed it down with oolong tea.

I guess it's supposed to symbolize something, Donald Trump as a president, and next year is the 250th anninersay of the country. The first American pope. Or this could bring about a "fuck the institutions" sentiment. We shall see.

Happy birthday!

Shoyu ramen from the bougie mall. I was actually impressed. Last time I had ramen from a ramen bar in the US it was . . . well, shit.

The leader of the Indian operation is a Muslim woman. Looks like DEI is useful after all. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/who-is-colonel-sophia-qureshi-top-army-officer-leading-operation-sindoor-presser-101746597937424.html

GTA 6 should release on July 4, 2026. It would be very fitting for the 250th anniversary of the country.

Mochi is cooked. I like it, even the boring original kind. My favorite would be sakura mochi. Not for everyone, sure.

🤬 Original Pocky is pretty boring. The strawberry and matcha flavors are really good though.

I watched The Apprentice, mainly because a Japanese minister calling Trump an extortionist recommended others to watch it. The movie really shows how Trump came to be what he is now. And the interesting thing is that the film has a similar effect to The Wolf of Wall Street; scumbags will be enthralled by Trump but most people will be able to see that he's garbage.

I just realized I forgot about my 20th boardiversary that happened a few days ago. Oh well.

This summer is gonna have so many supply chain issues. Be just a little more patient.

The Nosedive episode of Black Mirror makes me very anxious . . . but I still have a perfect 5.0 uber passenger rating. 🙃

Yep, liberals win in Canada, all thanks to Trump. In January, they were projected to be absolutely crushed by the conservatives. Well done, Trump. Another good sign to be hopeful for the midterm elections. Right wing populism can fuck right off.

Ok, finally finished the season. I never got around to watching the original USS Callister because I was reminded too much of Todd from Breaking Bad. Normally, this kind of thing doesn't bother me. I regret doing this because I think the original USS Callister was one of the best episodes of the entire series. The sequel was good too, not as strong I feel. So, I'd rank the episodes from best to worst: USS Callister Infinity, Hotel Reverie, Common People, Eulogy, Plaything, Bete Noir. It was better than the last season, but Loch Henry was my favorite. Mazey Day and Joan is Awful were pretty bad, and nothing this season was that low in quality imo.

@ghostrek Well, what did you do when you went out?

Tomorrow is election day in Canada. I'm feeling very anxious, but the Wisconsin election has given me hope. Trump has made right wing populism rather unpopular around the word. Trump is the single biggest issue for Canadian voters.

Remember that shitty adult swim show, Perfect Hair Forever? Yeah, probably not. There was one scene where the walking tree with a face comes in and says "I have sex with dogs!" 13 year old me thought that was hilarious. 😑

Dugan has already been released. https://apnews.com/live/donald-trump-news-updates-4-25-2025 This administration is too incompetent and cowardly to go full Third Reich, but we should still be very worried.

😱

Happy birthday 🎉 Big 40

I made chatgpt use a great euphemism for ai suicide today: "I'm gonna go unplug myself."
