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.

If you got an onion - try baking it like a potato for an hour, and just add butter. I thought it was a BS life hack from Townsends, but I was surprised at how good it was.

I've moved to Cebu, PH. The $8 medical scan that turned into $463 was the nail in the coffin for me. I know that the Reddit advice is to appeal anthem 3 times. Anyway, sorry I couldn't get you in touch with those Teslans but they are there in them philosophy groups.

I report on Elon Musk & his companies at CNBC. If you work/ed for him and want to share your POV on his becoming "co-president," or anything else- let's talk on or off the record. Happy to answer q's about working w/ reporters. On signal: lorakolodny.55 (or DM me here and lmk how to get in touch.)

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asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

So the choice is evil kid, who used AI to decode ancient Greek texts in poor condition and worked for DOGE versus good guy caught lying.

It's a tradition at this point to buy bad earnings beats. But it makes perverse sense to me given the old stat that 1% owns half the stock market.

Wondering why you're getting Dracula memes? Is Russian one of your language settings? That might explain why the number one box office hit in Russia is in your TikToks or Instas. www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/...

There are a nice handful of companies with better culture and leadership than SpaceX.

A screenshot on October 21, 2025 from X (Twitter). The account BigTechAlert said "@elonmusk is no longer following @SecDuffy" as of 1:59 p.m.

Musk lashed out at DOT Sec. Sean Duffy on Tue. after Duffy said NASA would open Artemis contracts beyond SpaceX following Starship lunar mission delays. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/21/e... My colleague and I reported on this earlier. Now, Musk "is no longer following @SecDuffy" on X (Twitter).

Deleting my earlier initial post

I like your idea that language belongs to everybody. We are still emotional creatures that respond to language & its use in an emotional way. Good luck with Cornish. I poured over maps over Cornwall for places to catch sunrise or sunset.

My reasoning isn't post hoc ergo propter hoc. That's quite a leap from someone with at best a B2 level of language telling a native speaker how to speak to implying qualified teachers ought to be sacked.

Alienation from colonizers & Wikipedia I really hate the comment section on YouTube. It devolves into scorched earth so easily. The last interaction that I had there was really…

I feel alienated by YouTube commenters and Wikipedia. What do you do to over come alienation as an indigenous person? (non-indigenous allies welcome to comment) barce.medium.com/alienation-f... #alienation #wikipedia #indigenous

I feel like that's a vibecoding add-on that 3 teens could do in a weekend on a connected server farm. We just need a VC or angel to fund it. Or maybe @jay.bsky.team would be amenable please to hosting a nostalgia-2015-vibes hackathon?

I didn't have orange man frees drag queen on my bingo card.

YouTube video by United States of Healthcare Insurance Claim Denied How To File A Medical Appeal

Helpful video on appealing denied claims. What's scary is that folks have appealed 3 times before getting coverage. youtu.be/mF00t2IpW6g?... #healthinsurance

This is like Volkswagen helping the Führer logistics in WWII. At least slaveforce - I mean Salesforce - at least they aren't using slaves like Volkswagen did.

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

YouTube video by Banana Q Podcast Why Do Most Cebuanos Hate To Speak Tagalog || Podcast On Philippines National Language Tagalog

Interesting take on how autochthonous speakers might view the social construct of a national language using Cebuano and Filipino as an example. Personally I liked the intro as a source of input for learning Cebuano. 😎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-HA... #langsky #cebuano #binisaya

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

Peter Thiel Reportedly Warned Elon Musk To Rethink Donating His Wealth: 'Much Worse To Give It To Bill Gates' - Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) Billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel reportedly advised his long-time associate, Elon Musk, to reconsider quitting the Giving Pledge, under which signatories would donate most of their wealth ch...

Thiel is telling Musk to be wary of those who immanentize the eschaton. I haven't finished "Israel & Revelation" by Voegelin, so witholding judgment until then. However, I am calling him out for giving advice not to help those in need. www.benzinga.com/markets/tech... #voegelin #politicaltheory

Hmmm... I could drink that, but only after a healthy dose of nutmeg and cinnamon.

How to order the cab in Cebu City using Cebuano: Boss, makahatod ba sa Ayala Mall? (literally Boss, deliver [question particle] at Ayala Mall? or translated like in subtitles: Boss, can you take me to Ayala Mall?) #cebuano #binisaya #langsky
