Big Money is the problem. It is the reason Twitter (and the rest of Big Tech) got enshittified.

I don't know why people who have moved to Bluesky think it will be any different when capitalists bankrolled Bluesky. Sure, it may be fine now but wait until the investors ask for a return on their investment.

By then, they would be wishing for something like Mastodon or the Fediverse.

Paraguay kicks out Chinese envoy for interfering in Paraguay’s domestic affairs and urging the South American nation to break off ties and long friendship with Taiwan.

Paraguay is the only nation in South America and one of just 12 worldwide that recognizes Taiwan as a country.

Filipino women's volleyball teams are becoming stronger. This is what the Japanese team Kurashiki Ablaze noticed as the team clinches the bronze medal in the Invitational Conference.

"Comparing our experience in the PVL this year to last year, the Filipino teams now use a lot more combination plays. It’s like they are playing with a Japanese style, which made it difficult for us," opposite hitter Saki Tanabe noted.

@youronlyone I'm curious. Which PH ISP is doing this?

Elon Musk supports Donald Trump. We shouldn't be surprised. Failed businessmen understand each other.

BINI is the first P-pop group to grace KCON LA 2024, a three-day concert and convention this weekend featuring the biggest acts and rising stars of K-pop.

The Ch1nese invasion of the PH continues.

A town in Davao Del Sur issued falsified birth certificates to almost 200 Chnese nationals from 2018 to 2019, many of them linked to illegal offshore gaming operators (POGOs).

Apparently, some users of PH's leading digital wallet GCash are having problems accessing the app. I don't know for sure because I don't have a GCash account.

It's another Boing 737. Why are these planes still allowed to fly?

Flight 136, a Boeing 737 aircraft, "returned to Chubu airport in Aichi Prefecture for an emergency landing after detecting a system malfunction during the flight, the transport ministry said."

Hey America, before you get ahead of yourselves...

We Filipinos elected a criminal first. Just saying.

We voted for a Chinese national as mayor too.

The PH's top e-wallet GCash is partly owned by Alibaba while Maya is partly owned by Tencent. That could partly explain the ubiquity of WeChat Pay and Alipay in the country

If AI will replace people in jobs, can we remove CEOs first. They're useless. The real work is done by people under them.

CoVid won't disappear because you're tired of wearing masks. The virus doesn't care about your feelings.

Believing in things doesn't make it real.

In romcom K-dramas, the couple is often portrayed as having met during their childhood. It feels so forced to me

@youronlyone Congratulations! How much does it cost?

@youronlyone @coffeewithbren

It is definitely more quiet in Baler compared to San Juan, La Union.

Another day of living with the bully
