Everything everywhere all at once, the Chinese Matrix or how dreamers are

Mmm, yes, I know, that technically, this isn’t made in China, but it features Chinese protagonists. Anyway, this movie starts fairly easy with someone who doesn’t have much attention for anything and it goes into a weird, strange, random trip about everything, anything, and nothing at the same time. …

The pointlessness of covid tests at the border

So, I’m a European guy that travelled throughout Europe this Summer. And this is going to about that experience. And yes, I know, I’m a few months late, but life gets in the way sometimes. You see, when I left the Uk to travel, I went by train, and while…
