Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Definitely not a good 2026 so far. My insurance went up almost 10 times!! (from $114 to $1132 and I only make around $2k a month doing tech documentation) #healthinsurance

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Isn't it interesting that all these treaties & signed documents were being made up including the UN Charter well before decent translation? Who benefited from mistranslations the most?

I just want to say that #typhoontino hit Cebu in a mellow way but the floods that followed were the worst. There was no water for days so people resorted to drinking flood water in Talisay City and other places.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Anthem just fucked me over by denying my claim. I went to get an MRI, and was told it would be $8. Now it's $463. I don't believe in violence but Luigi was definitely trying to make a point. Health Insurance is fraud at this point. #healthinsurance

Cebuano notes....
- Maayong buntag
- Maayong buntag sab. Kamusta man ka?
- Maayo ko. Kamusta ka?
- Maayo ko pud.
Sab & pud can be used like also, or too. But only after mirroring, or echoing. Never for initiating. This is similar to Arabic: صبح الخير - صبح النور
- Maayong buntag
- Maayong buntag sab. Kamusta man ka?
- Maayo ko. Kamusta ka?
- Maayo ko pud.
Sab & pud can be used like also, or too. But only after mirroring, or echoing. Never for initiating. This is similar to Arabic: صبح الخير - صبح النور
