a few days ago i realized i have a 15-year log of every book i've read—i started writing down every book i read in 2011. as i was combing through this list i would occasionally stop on a title and realize i couldn't remember a single thing about it, and this was 60% of the books

I would genuinely like to understand how Israel has arrived at such a debased, brutal culture.

On #EDSA40, we asked: Who misremember the Marcos dictatorship? Are Filipinos suffering from ‘authoritarian nostalgia’? In this presentation to the Ateneo Law School, I use public opinion data to demonstrate that favorable recollections of the dictatorship (1) predate both the 2016 and 2022 elections, and (2) that these recollections shift sharply with elite cues aligning with the birth and collapse of the Marcos-Duterte alliance. The former shows the long tail of authoritarian contamination more than authoritarian nostalgia. And the latter reveals how central elite signals are to reshaping mass attitudes and memory towards the Philippine authoritarian past. I argue that these conceptual turns, contra authoritarian nostalgia, more effectively shows the important role of political elites in democratic backsliding rather than the supposed irrational yearning of ordinary Filipino for the good old days of dictatorship.
My big thanks to the Joaquin Bernas Center Student Corps for inviting me again to speak to aspiring Ateneo lawyers. I also extend my condolences to the entire Ateneo law community for the recent passing of their Dean, Joey Hofileña. And finally, it’s been an honor and a pleasure to share the podium with @AkbayanParty Representative @ChelDiokno whose dad’s death anniversary — of the great late senator Pepe Diokno — coincided with the date of the forum. Mula noon hanggang ngayon, buhay ang laban kontra diktadurya at para sa demokrasya!

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.
I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.

The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise. We were the hosts. I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless. The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president . The attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship’s presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind. The US has ignored India’s sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India’s invitation. We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack. Our“responsibility” is at a moral and human plane. A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

These are the comments in a news article showing the mobile drug war/EJK museum exhibit, the shirt of Myca Ulpina, youngest victim of drug war at just 3 years old, the one dismissed as "shit happens" by Bato Dela Rosa.
Depraved individuals.

@Sarcastagasm_2 I just realized how bioessentialist this article is... When I looked at her history she is a TERF and it makes sense now.

WHY IS THE DEFAULT SUDDENLY THE "FOR YOU" FEED, EVEN WHEN I SWITCH IT TO FOLLOWING?
Can't we have one social media platform where maximizing scrolling and addictiveness isn't the foundational goal?? 🤬🤬🤬

this is lovely. but look. you don't have to wait for that person to show up in order to cut up the mangos. you don't have to hold all your love in a bottle until your prince or princess falls out of the sky. you can write the sticky notes and cut up the mangos. you don't have to ration it, hold it all in and let it ooze out of you at the first glance of someone liking you back. pull it out of you each day, in your texts to your friends and your calls to your mom and your glance at the barista. you'll find you don't run out, you'll find there's even more than you thought. if you let it out, there will be more and more mangos. if you let it out, there will be endless sticky notes.
