This is one of many stands selling Pokémon cards at Amsterdam's biggest flea market — IJHallen. This saturday I visited IJHallen for the first time and honestly, I was shocked by its scale. There are hundreds and hundreds of stands selling clothes, footwear, home decorations, toys, comic books, trading cards, casette players, vintage photo cameras, retro gaming consoles, football merch, DIY stuff, kitchenware, etc. IJHallen is much bigger than any Rataplan or other kringloop store in the Netherlands and even in Europe. Highly recommended!

Stranger Things isn’t hyped because it’s good, but because it’s the most popular. If people chased quality with the same energy, fentanyl would be considered better entertainment.

I wish I had people in my circles who were passionate about cinema to discuss things like this:

Here is my new Polaroid Flip (on the right) next to his grandpa Polaroid 636 Close-Up model. They are really similar in their concept, we’ll see how they compare in pictures (I’ve heard a lot of good stuff about Flip).

One of the gifts I received for my birthday was this set of PBS Blanks keycaps from CannonKeys that I had in my wishlist for quite a long time. They have a unique sculpted profile with deep concaves, made of thick PBT and don’t affect SK75’s already amazing sound profile. Now I’m rocking these hot black babies and sometimes cannot get my hands off my stealthy keyboard, it’s that good.

Flagship De Bijenkorf store in Amsterdam now has a huge Labubu section on the same floor with Moncler and Louis Vuitton. Such an embarassment.
