@lilium1s I disagree with improving public transport. It's already good enough, at least in Jakarta.
What needs to be improved more is the employment in suburbans (Bodetabek) so people won't spend hours commuting to the other side of the province to work a livable job.
Happy and sad to announce the publication of my (2022) Radcliffe-Brown Lecture, "For an anthropology and archaeology of freedom" - in memory of David Graeber, and with thanks to Georges Sioui for generous guidance on matters of Wendat intellectual history.

@ZahraAyubi @zimba313_ You will be surprised, the majority of Sunnis I have met in my life had no idea what Shias are and their beliefs. Like zero knowledge. Whereas even a Shia teenager I meet knows history to a large extent.
Difference here is awareness and Knowledge, basics of following Ahlebayt
I read the "I am not alone – we are all alone" paper. it is indeed not good. but as in many of these cases, I think it is often not good in ways that many things in social science are not good, but we only deign to notice when a paper is morally bad as well.
Starbucks has hired a former CIA/State Department officer who’s also a former Pinkerton detective agency worker as the manager of Global Intelligence for their retail operations in case you were still unsure about how they’re planning on handling staff unionization efforts.
I’ve seen claims that Xi Jinping will be forced to take a hard line on Taiwan because of the political pressure of the upcoming Congress. Maybe. But Taiwan is a deeply emotional and personal issue for him too. (A thread).
I can’t stop thinking about Nancy Pelosi risking a World War by visiting Taiwan yet exiting the plane wearing a mask, which doesn’t work at all, to “protect” her from a virus she’s already had despite getting four shots. Perfect synopsis of our insanely stupid leaders.
Starting in 20 minutes in front of San Francisco Federal Building! We are here to tell Nancy Pelosi to cancel her Taiwan trip & to stop inflaming tensions with China! See you all here soon!
Too many talk about US decline. Way too many want an isolationist disengaged America. But look at the last ~24 hours. The US provided Ukraine $500 million in critical military aid, killed the #1 terrorist off in Afghanistan & girded democracy in Taiwan. No one else could do that.
when people say "tiktok is just dance videos" they are actually saying "i refuse to engage with a massive shift in the way that people use the internet that is implicating over 1 billion monthly active users because i think it makes me seem more intellectual on twitter"
Am I the only one that sees a problem with working 8-9 hours a day and then going home to having about 4 hours to yourself which includes getting ready for the next day??? This is not life…
How the evidence of archaeology is turning our view of human history & inequality on its head, and why it matters #TheDawnOfEverything is @TEDTalks

Sorry to state the obvious but if you start a study with the prior assumption that technologies of extraction, violence + control are what makes society “complex” you are logically bound to conclude that technologies of extraction, violence + control are drivers of “complexity”.
Fenomena “Citayam Fashion Week” itu semacam pembuktian bahwa pemkot Depok dan Pemkab. Bogor gagal dalam menyediakan sarana ruang publik yang murah dan nyaman untuk masyarakat kecil.
Admit it.
When many shortages were reported in the old USSR, communism - the system - got blamed. Now that we suffer many shortages, everything other than the system - capitalism - gets blamed. Dont be fooled.
