Putting the pun in punyeta since the good old days of Twitter
Rewatching Wild Wild Country on Netflix again and I am struck by the relevance to current events. Fanatics, a charismatic manipulative old man, murderous lieutenants and a public who were slow to fight back.

If Vico were to run for president, I would very likely vote for him. But let's cool our heels for 2028. shall we?
He will not be eligible in May of 2028.
A presidential candidate must be at least 40 on the day of the election. In 2028, Vico Sotto will only be 39. His birthday is June 17, 1989.

My smart pet feeder goes off at 6am and 6pm.
You know what else happens then? The Baguio Cathedral Angelus which we hear clearly from our living room.
Just before 6pm today, I caught them holding vigil around the feeder. My cats think the voice of God is delivering their kibble.

The pettiest thing in that White House ambush on Zelensky was how they ridiculed him for not wearing a suit.
Come one. Beneath the clothes we find a man and beneath a man we find his... nucleus.

Sometimes the way some major players in the Philippine press collude with the political dynasties and their allies sickens me. They think people won’t notice. They only erode the remaining trust the people have on the media in general. And this weakens Philippine democracy even more.

In order to stop the inflow of illegal immigrants and fentanyl into America, Trump's strategy is to make Americans pay 25% more for Canadian and Mexican goods and 10% more for Chinese goods?

With the prevailing atmosphere of xenophobia and now the doubts about air safety, I think it would be safer for someone like me not to visit the US in the next 4 years.

People say Bluesky is boring.
But I think this says more about how big tech and their algorithms have really gotten us used to the addictive dopamine rush they provide on their platforms.
So a calm nomal space like this begins to feel...boring.
This is better, we just need to get used to it.

The UN says hundreds of thousands of people have been trafficked to scam centers in Southeast Asia since the pandemic in an industry that defrauds people across the globe and generates billions per year for organized crime groups, many of Chinese origin reut.rs/3PGWPN4
China families appeal to free relatives held by scam gangs in Myanmar
The abduction and cross-border rescue had all the makings of the kind of action script struggling Chinese actor Wang Xing had hoped to land – only not as a reality star.

Someday, Joshua Oppenheimer will make films about Dutertismo. And they will be just as difficult to watch as The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence.

There must be some version of the afterlife where we will all be reunited with the dozens of pairs of scissors we lost throughout our lives.
That would be divine.

Well, hello fellow folks who are here because we're all not pleased about the latest Zuck announcement.
I am offended and fearful about it too.
But do tell me, aside from not being owned by Zuck or Musk, what are the ways things are better here? I just need something to hang my hopeful hat on.

Watched "Sweet Bobby" on Netflix last night. It was a terrifyingly good true crime documentary on catfishing. Was on the edge of my seat the whole time and can so understand how she was lured in. 10 years of catfishing! Watch it.

Prinoprocess ko pa kasi hanggang ngayon ang luhaang apology ni Kuya Germs sa GMA Supershow after maaksidente si presidential daughter Kris Aquino after mahulog sa stage habang nagpropromote ng pelikula nila ni Rene Requiestas.
Pido!!! Dida!!!

Prinoprocess ko pa rin na ang “Gloria” ng Nail Clippers ay hindi pala original at hindi rin si Laura Brannigan ang original singer ng “Gloria.”
Si Umberto Tozzi pala yung tunay na original na buko pie.

It’s adorable when the kitten is so desperate for attention that he climbs up my pant leg to sleep on my lap.
Not so adorable when he does it and I’m in shorts and the claws dig directly into my legs.
