the fact that most of the Michelin selections are in Makati and Taguig says more about Michelin as a food guide than it does about the Philippines as a food destination

if GRRM is able to do this all is forgiven

George I need you to do to these companies what you could never do to your books and finish them.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

it is really absolutely incredible how much of Trump’s second term parallels Duterte’s time in office

rendering from How I Met Your Mother S2E06 of the Spokane National Bank that looks like a penis.

it looks almost exactly like the design Hammond Druthers (Bryan Cranston) developed for the Spokane National Bank in How I Met Your Mother.

mixed feelings here -- not sure if i should be sad that they don't credit the architect involved in the destruction of an icon of Singapore modernist architecture for a glass and aluminium dildo or be happy that they don't mention the architect at all.

Ministry of Sustainability & Environment 24 October at 18:00 - We may not have lightcycles, but if you're making a short trip, why not consider cycling instead! Cycling not only saves you money, but also lowers your carbon footprint (and it's healthier for you, too)! photoshopped advertisement of cyclists in the style of Tron #Sustainability #ZeroEmissions

i think this ad was specifically designed to make people hate cyclists and cycling, not the other way around.

if you engage in this sort of AI Anthropomorphism in the pages of a prominent media organization (or anywhere else) you are loudly advertising that you don't know how this technology actually works

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

The Power Fantasy of Superman is you still have a staff job on a newspaper.

it makes it even more fucked up that mothership decides to frame this story as if this white man in his 50s had no agency and was just manipulated into rape by a Filipina. smacks of racism, sexism, and classism all at once.

also the movie almost plays like an SNL parody when the background of the White House Situation Room inexplicably has photos of the "greatest hits" of the White House as if to nudge the audience "remember when this happened?"

A ★ review of A House of Dynamite (2025) if you’re going to do the “story from multiple POVs” kind of movie, it behooves you to show the ending the very first time you have the story play out, and each subsequent retelling sheds further ligh...

House of Dynamite (2025) - Kathryn Bigelow makes a movie positing the q what would happen when the US faces an unknown enemy, as if that never happened before

completely forgetting that's exactly what happened in the first few hours of 9/11 and the US response was -- bomb everyone

Not like I'm saying anything anyone sensible doesn't already know, but these pastel nostalgic wishes for a return to agrarian life glosses over how grueling those lives were.

If I wanted a return to the good old days, it'd be to a time you could make a good living writing short stories...

hopefully this will get the last remaining people out of twitter finally

there’s a similar street here in Singapore near where Cadbury is located

the consequence of a high trust society like Singapore is that way too many people end up getting scammed

Every single thing that has been done in the last 50 years in this country that was "supposed to free us from the chains of government control" has solely meant removing all checks on the wealthy that prevent them from doing whatever they want without civic obligation. All of it. Every single thing.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

A ★★★★ review of The Long Walk (2025) im not sure if this is better bec of the Stephen King-isms or worse bec of it

how do you not have the Proclaimers as the song of the movie?

[OPINION] We are the 'new poor' When corporate employees can no longer afford private hospital charges and doctor's fees, we have become "The New Poor."

this fucked up op-ed of a privileged upper middle class writer identifying as an oppressed group completely ignoring that poor people still exist

Here’s what I said to our teenager and some other young folks who were around at the match: there’s a difference between a demonstration and a protest, and you need both because people are at different places in their engagement with a movement, and there are different kinds of power.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Sam Altman (@sama) We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases. In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing). In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Translation: After we built an addictive tool based on stolen data, exploited labor and plundering the environment, which pushes kids to commit suicides, we were like, why not cash in on "erotica"? After all, this is what building so-called AGI that "benefits humanity" looks like.
