Think I saw some weird bruger king discourse(?) on X from some maybe Chinese nationalist and I was a bit surprised the response from HKers wasn't "yeah we're rude fuck you", but "no that wasn't rude what are you talking about why are you fucking weird" which was more valid ig

Reports indicate that the owner of independent bookstore "Book Punch" and the 3 storekeepers arrested for selling "seditious books" including Jimmy Lai's biography have been granted bail.

The type of people whose idea of organization is putting things away where it take two business days to reach and like to also organise other people's shits

Okay I don't like ghosts but specifically ghosts in fiction where death was handled as final and a stake and then haha actually no people just become ghosts and continue to hang around.

Didn't expect Slaughter House Five in my MCU spinoff TV show of an MCU TV show character from an MCU wait which one is it now okay I lost count it's Agatha All Long

The best use for whisky stones is rechilling beer from last night before you passed out to go down with breakfast

I suspect having one and a half function eyes is less functional than just one

It's like tfw you get happy birthday emails from every single company and website from when you were dumb enough to get them real ones.

So much for not applying NSL retroactively
