Video games, comics, hip hop, good books and bad movies. It is suspiciously easy to get me into new things: I like liking things.

To everyone who has, or will follow me. Thank you, and I apologize in advance for being a serial lurker - but it's been this way for 2 decades and I'm not sure how to switch that up at this point 😔.
Anyway, the march to the Edsa People Power monument was empowering and inspiring as expected.

Let this photo be a reminder that our struggles are linked.

From Palestine to the Philippines, stop the US war machine.

Took a break from socials for a couple of days and missed posting anything for #edsa39

But my thoughts can be summed up with this quote from Direk Lino Brocka: "Absolutely no tears."

Man, I gotta learn to block a lot more people.

I cannot tell you how upset I would be if someone tried to "um akshully" me at work with a ChatGPT screenshot.

I, of course, am not a VC with infinite money - so I am apparently the wrong mark for this move anyway.
If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.

Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

I once had a heated exchange with someone about Gaza, and after a while they got tired of it and went, verbatim, "Yes yes, war bad bro. Unless it's defending against Russia."

Believe me when I say I was too stunned to speak further.
I guess some people deserve protection and peace and others don't

Trump is vulgar and clumsy but everything he's threatening Palestinians with has already been done or tried before, just more subtle. The good thing is, his vulgarness will push many governments to publicly condemn or consent to ethnic cleansing. Good. Tell us who you are.

My millenial hangup is that I refuse to use POV incorrectly. I'm sorry, I know that language evolves, but I do not.

I hate how much attention I have to pay to American politics and actions abroad, because, evidently, a lot of them just, don't do it themselves?

The daily news cycles that we were looking at must have been completely different because I saw a lot of dead Palestinian children in mine.
Too many people didn't appreciate just how wonderful, how glorious, it was that the daily news cycle during Biden's presidency was boring as fuck.

"if Elon Musk is a nazi then how come he's so pro-israel?" Is incredibly funny because it's like asking "if a cow is a mammal, then how come it produces milk?"

what netanyahu or trump wanted or were planning is meaningless. biden was the president, with the ability to bring about a ceasefire entirely, completely, absolutely within his power, and he didn't, because he didn't want to
Shaun you do realize Netanyahu pressured repubs into forestalling it so Trump could win, right

Especially for a dude whose country stole Palestine from the natives and gave it to america

It's ceasefire now, then an end to the occupation next.

Like many others, I'm thrilled at the idea of a ceasefire sparing lives that would have otherwise have been lost. But the fight for a free Palestine is not over.

It's free Palestine, until Palestine is free.

Quoting this so that people understand where I'm coming from when I criticize the US. I am a Filipino-Algerian living in the Philippines. I am aware of the imperialist threat of China when I make these remarks.
China is a bully and Russia is a bully and the U.S. is a bully (with a lot of proxy bullies)...I would love to live in a world without bullies, but do you know how utterly fucked we would be if the U.S. was the sole powerful bully in the world?

It was hilarious seeing this post on Twitter first, because over there it's full of people loose in the comments very rationally explaining that, they too, are stupid idiots.
Duckworth: How many nations are in ASEAN?

Hegseth: We have allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia

Duckworth: None of those countries are in ASEAN

Shauna, you’re not even resisting genocide. You think you’re going to take on Trump?

Biden is not a good man, and even beyond him essentially handing the presidency back to Trump he should be remembered for his administration being the key enablers of the genocide of the Palestinian people.

At least one Palestinian has been killed and several wounded after an Israeli quadcopter drone dropped a bomb in the vicinity of a school in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip.

Nate here, fighting back tears as I type.

@rasheedabueideh.bsky.social is a Palestinian game developer from the city of Nablus– the same birthplace as my father-in-law.

Baba hates it when I say father-in-law. I use the term only so you know he’s my wife’s biological father, not mine.
