    Congrats to the Chinese government for giving the world yet another iconic scene to rally around The arrest of a Hong Kong woman with the words “I work in a bookstore” printed on her shirt

    KL Car-Free Morning is one of the nicest things to happen to the otherwise car-dominated city.

    The thing is, plenty of people will rather be a Mad Max king sitting on top of ruins than to be an ordinary citizen in a prosperous world. The latter gives you food and security and community and maybe quite a bit of creature comfort but the former allow people to be their worst selves with no consequences and to treat others as lesser beings and plenty of people really, really want that.

    Meme-able photo of the day A Karen from China was causing a scene on an AirAsia flight and the Malaysians on the plane were very happy with the entertainment

    Looks like Malaysia’s Biden era is about to end and we’ll be back to our Trump era soon-ish

    Sure, you can tell that some videos are AI-generated because they feature cute animals doing human-like things, but would you suspect that videos of people eating fruits in the jungle are also AI-generated unless you happen to be a plant nerd? https://www.threads.com/@borneo_forester/post/DXuLj27ksnt?xmt=AQF0YyILMydeB7TxWwQPiZOopVJPY9fW-9HggqMAiw64kN3VErPmn4Fn3LURZawMN-oQp5re&amp;amp;slof=1

    As much as Claude is going to destroy white-collared jobs like mine, it has also empowered tons of people to vibe code their own apps, webpages, and other solutions to solve their own niche challenges. The future is not-so-great for employment but it’ll also make the barrier of entry for small businesses &amp;amp; individual entrepreneurs much, much lower. https://www.threads.com/@aistarship/post/DWT4MoClIcz?xmt=AQF08AHS-FJ7iAkZ6Dn1nV0mv3kwdX5seGgDUkfOnpBIX1wRHVFXXvY6G3oO7dXTmQA_knI&amp;amp;slo...

    Why are they building a data center right in the middle of a dense &amp;amp; affluent neighborhood in PJ?

    I feel that halal Chinese restaurants are not doing their dishes justice by substituting pork with chicken, chicken is just… a very poor pork substitute when it comes to flavor and texture. (Lamb/mutton will be ideal but pricey, but beef is also ok.) But I get why they do it, apart from chicken being a cheaper meat, it’s also more universally accepted compared to beef and mutton. (Fun fact: China preferred mutton for most of its history but switched to pork after losing access to northern past...

    RE: https://hachyderm.io/@rakyat/116265420420303887 And now Malaysian cina are queuing 3.5 hours for Ayam Gepuk by a food influencer: https://www.threads.com/@emelynne87/post/DWwG0wwE_8K?xmt=AQF0YdiITqj7nHHx7iMZn5X9CFYrJBxgNp95_Z7UfxLaJbPw7R2ycaJFJ_TkqNCrLp_7A5Q&amp;amp;slof=1 I wonder what Indonesians think of this hahaha

    Actually when did all our local media agree on using West Asia instead of Middle East? It’s a good change IMO but has there been a directive or something?

    You can apparently use budu as a substitute for Worcestershire sauce - which is said to be inspired by budu anyway 🤣

    We’ve reach that point where you can type in a bunch of incomprehensible jabber and Claude / other LLMs will still perfectly get what you mean 90% of the time but when you communicate with humans, there’s a high chance they’ll misinterpreted it somehow haha Siri, on the other hand…

    Funny how unchecked power essentially means anarchy for the elites. What happens on Epstein island is the same as what happens on a lawless war zone - men with power/weapons are put in a situation where they no longer worry about accountability, so they either play out their darkest desires or conform to evil.
