I love to see it (pro-recall bus ad in #Taiwan)

Oh nooooooo

So do I try to listen to part of the inevitable 羅智強 anti-recall rally happening audibly from my apartment tomorrow, for blogging purposes, or do I RUN VERY FAR AWAY

I checked -- this is real. And...what?

I'm surprised he spelled "you're" correctly.

Still...what?

We stan anarchy cat

I’m in Crete and a little drunk

I’ve learned I don’t like cruises (other family members do, that’s why we’re on one) but I am otherwise enjoying what might be our last trip before WWIII begins

I’m not around a lot because cheese and a mithraeum

(I’m working from London for the week because I wanna)

羅智強 just jump-scared me while I was drinking coffee outside. He looks older than his campaign posters.

But his newsletter is stupid pap and if he’s in his 鐵票區 he really is worried about a recall.

if he's a discredited journalist and nobody likes him, why was he in the secret war plans group chat?

I asked Gemini to make me a meme about the war secrets group chat and frankly these fake people sound smarter than the actual officials involved

Not even satire, this is just straightforward reporting of current events

It’s looking increasingly like doing the right thing means identifying as a fucking problem

Just so we’re clear, I live in #Taiwan and this guy and his government suck too

Yup. But I have no idea what to do about it. Third-party options are all trash. So what’s the next step? Gut and rebuild the Dems? Build a third-force option that isn’t a joke? What?

My cats Zhao Cai and Tiberius

I like to think I'd be a mantis shrimp

I know that's not a fish but whatever

Gather round children, 'tis time for the annual hanging of the treasured family Christmas ornament

阿才的店, a slice of #Taiwan democratic history where Tangwai activists used to meet and the owner (who died awhile ago, his family runs the current business) used to drink with Chen SHui-bian, closes forever at the end of this month. We (a large % of my closest crew in Taipei) went to say goodbye
