Got a rare chance to visit the border between North (l) and South Korea at the Joint Security Area in #Panmunjom, in the Korean #DMZ. DPRK and UN/US officers usually stare each other down across this concrete border slab, but since Covid the North Koreans prefer to stay inside.

Great event tonight with Book Prize winner Shehan Karunatilaka at #hklitfest. Inspiring, and very funny, to hear about his writing process, grappling with newfound fame, and bringing the troubled recent history of Sri Lanka into a gripping narrative. #sevenmoonsofmaalialmeida

@Beathhigh Apericena - when the aperitivo turns into a meal. Best Italian tradition ever

Apartment hunting in Hong Kong is always a blast
(HK$80,000 = US$10,000 approx. rent per month)

@ZoeYorkWrites Never had a lettuse before but might try it. Otherwise I’m good w everything

Noir is one of the great American art forms, so it only follows that LA would be the epicenter of crime fiction. #filmnoir

@AshaRangappa_ The nifty Debirdify tool on https://t.co/5S1A5aYq54 helps you find your twitter friends and followers on Mastodon

[MG Walser @MgWalser]

Curious where the #writingcommunity will be going...

Setting up on Mastodon - https://t.co/q03kUSWECB - for now, seems the most promising of the alternative networks. Hope I'll see a few of you over there

@Alex_Fedderly Congratulations on your success - it’s so great to see an indie author doing well!

@tripperhead @FlySWISS @hkairport Well, go figure

Strange fruit at the market today

@mackenziemreed Absolutely one of my pet peeves with word

@hurtingbombz There used to be a shop like this in New York on West Broadway, selling handbags to tourists in a decade-long ‘closing out sale’

@vanpaugam @PhlashDark If you had been paid 100 dollars in bitcoin a week ago, it would be worth 87 dollars today.

Which means your rent has just gone up by 15% in one week

@pitchaya Bonne chance! Wish I could attend - sounds like a great way to spend an early evening in Paris

[MG Walser @MgWalser]

@GabeShepperd @Teddy_Goold @bobbiharlow Agreed, that adds a problematic layer. Luckily New Yorkers don't much care what their city looks like on screen, otherwise we’d have to be outraged at the cheesily dressed up ‘New York’ sets of Toronto, Vancouver, and LA all the time

@GabeShepperd @Teddy_Goold @bobbiharlow Just two months ago, a big streaming series set up a gaudy looking hot dog cart in Riverside Drive for a week, in a neighborhood where no hot dog cart has ever stood

[MG Walser @MgWalser]

@GabeShepperd @Teddy_Goold @bobbiharlow Erm, sorry, yes - done plenty of location scouting and production work in NYC for visiting film crews, and everybody always wants to shoot in that mythical graffiti-strewn alley in the Village that looks 'so New York' but doesn’t exist anymore. It’s a universal thing, I’m afraid.
