HONTIVEROS ON ANTI-DYNASTY BILL: I THINK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SO MANY CONGRESSES, MALAKAS ANG TSANSA NATIN WATCH: Senator Risa Hontiveros, chairperson of the Committee on Electoral Reforms and People’s Participation, expressed optimism about the passage of an anti-political dynasty law, which has failed to hurdle previous Congresses. Speaking at a consultative meeting in Pasig City, Hontiveros noted that seven senators have filed the measure, while House Speaker Bojie Dy and Majority Leader Sandro Marcos have filed a counterpart bill. She also cited President Marcos’ certification of the measure as urgent. “Malakas ang pag-asa ko ngayon dahil tingin ko for the first time in so many Congresses, malakas ang tsansa natin… If we take this ball and run with it, ngayon kaya na nating ipanalo,” she says. | @eimorpsantos

Sign Luis Enrique. If that's not possible, make him permanent.

🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: The Manchester United board has decided that if Michael Carrick continues to have solid performances like he’s had as manager so far, he might stay for the next season. At first they only thought of him as a caregiver but he’s proven he’s quite more than that and the board has noticed it. The board will definitely wait until the end of the season to make a decision and they could be very influenced if Carrick gets a Champions League spot.

@grok @aakashgupta So 7 hours it is then. Anything lower than that, is equivalwnt to having little sleep at all. Thanks.
English
@asheonetricklol @aakashgupta No, 6 hours isn't a safe minimum. Studies like Van Dongen's show it leads to cognitive deficits equivalent to all-nighters after two weeks, without you noticing. Adults need 7-9 hours for optimal function, per CDC and NIH guidelines. Prioritize more if possible.
English
This is one of the most important studies in sleep science.
Van Dongen et al. ran the experiment that changed how we understand chronic sleep restriction. They had subjects sleep 4h, 6h, or 8h nightly for 14 days, testing cognitive performance every 2 hours.
The 6h group’s reaction time deficits by day 14 matched subjects who had been awake for 24 hours straight. The 4h group? They performed like someone awake 48 hours.
But here’s what makes this study terrifying.
The Stanford Sleepiness Scale ratings in Panel B plateau after day 3-4. Subjects stopped feeling more tired even as their cognitive performance continued deteriorating through day 14. Your subjective experience of fatigue is a lagging indicator that eventually just… stops updating.
This explains why chronic undersleeping feels sustainable. You’ve adapted to feeling tired. Your prefrontal cortex hasn’t adapted to being impaired.
The PVT (Psychomotor Vigilance Task) in Panel A measures lapses in attention. These are the moments where you’re staring at a screen and your brain simply checks out for 500ms. Every additional day of 6h sleep adds more lapses. The curve never flattens.
Panel C and D show working memory and processing speed. Same pattern: continuous degradation with no subjective awareness.
The practical implications:
If you’re sleeping 6h and think you’re functioning fine, you’ve lost the internal calibration to know you’re not. The subjects in this study would have told you they felt “okay” while performing like they’d pulled an all-nighter.
For anyone doing cognitively demanding work, this means you cannot trust how you feel. You need to track objective markers: error rates, decision latency, problem-solving throughput.
Sleep need is biological, not negotiable. Most adults require 7-9 hours, and the research shows no population-level adaptation to chronic restriction. “I only need 6 hours” is almost always “I’ve forgotten what baseline cognition feels like.“
Bailey Klemmensen@iiKlemm
Competitive gamers: 6h of sleep is a hidden nerf. 6h/night for 2 weeks → reaction time & attention decline to the equivalent of pulling MULTIPLE all-nighters. Worst part: subjective fatigue plateaus, so you stop noticing. If you're not getting 7+ hours/night, you're trolling.

@av8harrier023 Pinoys shoud petition China to make the Philippines a Special Autonomous Region like Hongkong. China has $1 trillion surplus last year, it can develop the Philippines easily.Pinoys are tired of the corrupt Philippine government

C-130 has been the Philippines' primary workhorse since the arrival of the first B variants in the 70s. From combat ops to CMO including HADR, the C-130 has been the nation's most reliable transport aircraft for responding to disaster-stricken provinces.

incredible lore
A Vietnamese made money on instant noodles in post-Soviet Ukraine and now has graduated to running much of Vietnam's economy.
OK Then@okaythenfuture
Vietnam has just approved a new $4 billion HSR route that will connect Ho Chi Minh City with a luxurious satellite city to be located 50 KM south of the city being built by Vietnam’s champion Conglomerate company, VinGroup. The bullet train will specifically be built to entice more of the metro area’s middle class to consider relocating to this ultra development being pioneered by VinGroup. VinGroup runs everything in Vietnam from the EV startup Vinfast to of course the massive real estate division known as VinHomes and even dabbles in AI with VinBrain. It’s a Vin Nation. It’s the Vietnamese Century.

@Pedrojbc92 @nocontextfm1 How is it a cheat? It's literally what coaches do irl.
English
@nocontextfm1 That was an option that didn’t make any sense. Basically, it was a kind of “cheat” you could use to help you win games. Every time you used the “demand more” or “encourage” options, the players got happier and it gave them a boost...
