I really enjoy Bluesky, even though the Thai-based peeps are super limited. I mostly use it to keep up on world news, but the more I read about the world news, the less I want to know about world news. Yikes.

Gonna keep this handy for when my son says he doesn't like school.

Your office today is way better than mine.

💯 I love sleeping, but I hate going to bed.

Sure, GI Joe taught us that knowing is half the battle, but they never said the other half is getting a good night’s sleep.

We are FUCKED.

That’s awesome! Bonus points if you find the same spot your grandpa is at on google street view.

Please god all I want is for it to remember where I left off.

Hope you’re right but I don’t see anyone having the balls to make it happen.

If God is all powerful, can he create a rock so big that he himself could not lift? Classic George Carlin line.

We always prefer to drive on our own. Some hotels will pick you up on a speed boat on the mainland and drop you off right in front of the property.

My favorite island. It’s much busier than it used to be but still easy to get out and explore without crowds around. It’s far enough from Bangkok that weekenders don’t go, but close enough not have to plan complex logistics.

I didn't have any problems until it came to my banking apps. What a pain in the ass, though that speaks more to the shittiness of Thai banks than an new iPhone.

Normally I find your taste impeccable, sir, but in this case, I must protest! Jok is clearly the superior breakfast, followed by moo ping/sticky rice, and cold pizza.

Rafting in Chiang Mai was a little bit more intense in spots than I had planned for. Filming with my new iPhone 17 made it even more nerve-racking.

Incredible few days spent exploring the hill tribe areas of Northern Thailand. Lots of nature, lots of food, lots of photos.

Ohhhhh, I see, now it makes sense. Honestly I hated that movie so much I didn’t even remember that part of it.

BkkGreg @bkkgreg.bsky.social · 18d

I hated it - but I don’t get this reference?!

D's need to start copying R speeches, videos, fashions, taglines, quotes, quips, and remarks exactly - like word for word with the names changed. R's will undoubtedly pounce, and then the clips can be played side by side like, "Which one of these is bad?" It's juvenile, but that's where we are.

Haven't seen a lot of his earlier stuff, but I loved Sneakers. Hasn't aged very well but it was so bloody entertaining. Helped kickstart my love for tech.

Looks fantastic!!

Same, I had no idea any of them existed until a few months ago.
