40-something Goals

I like the wisdom that age brings, but not the memory loss. Healthcare worker, struggling bookkeeper. Watching the young 'uns pass me by

[40-something Goals @BookwormFrust]

Anyway, I will pin this thread and add my list of goals for this year. Not always serious shit.

To start, I shall make my goal having a bench in the shower in our future home. We've been meaning to get a bigger house, so I shall make this demand if we ever get a house.

Let us not forget that it was Europe and the US that ensured Bosnia was placed under an arms embargo, leaving them entirely defenceless against a genocidal aggressor.

Let us not forget how Europe stood idly by even when they had proof genocide was being committed.

Today—54 yrs ago—the Mossad killed Ghassan Kanafani & his niece in Beirut.
“A commando who never fired a gun, whose weapon was a ball-point pen and his arena the newspaper pages,” wrote the Daily Stars for his obituary.
Kanafani was born in Acre/Akka & expelled at the age of 12.

Pathway tepi jalan di kawasan kampung yg terletak di pinggir bandar is a must.

Samada JKR negeri buatkan ke, Majlis buatkan ke, (ikutlah jalan bawah senggaraan pihak mana) kena ada pathway tepi jalan. Warga kampung boleh jalan kaki dgn selesa nak pergi masjid/kedai

Thank heavens it's finally raining

[Charles Santiago @mpklang]

A whopping 300 % mark-up is outright robbery! Thats what it is. Hope @KKMPutrajaya acts on the PAC report, initiates its own investigation and ensures private hospitals payback patients that have been overcharged. Greed has no place in health care. @DrDzul

[Wally Rashid @wallyrashid]

Activists built a water station providing clean drinking water to Palestinians.

He posts about it's launch on X.

One hour later Israel bombs it, killing the workers.

[Pop Base @PopBase]

USA has been eliminated from the World Cup.

They lost 4-1 to Belgium.

[Euro-Med Monitor @EuroMedHR]

"This is the end."

From inside an underground Israeli detention facility, with his features barely recognizable after severe beatings, Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya said he had been transferred to another prison in preparation for his murder.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) must visit Dr. Abu Safiya immediately and ensure his safety. The world must not allow yet another doctor to be killed!

[Amirul Ruslan @amirulruslan]

Let us never be revisionists.

Najib's era was a time of cruelty, callousness and corruption. The infrastructure was achieved at inflated rates. The hopelessness was worse than at any point in this century. Any economic prosperity was not because, but in spite of Najib & Rosmah.

[40-something Goals @BookwormFrust]

Setiap beberapa bulan sekali mesti ada media yg melebih-lebihkan kebaikan Najib Razak, atau buka cerita mengenai kemungkinan dia diampunkan. Memang keparat dan buta hati orang yg masih berpendapat Najib tak bersalah.

He deserves to rot in prison.

[Malaysia Gazette @MalaysiaGazette]

Air mata warga emas kenang jasa Najib, Klinik 1Malaysia terpahat dalam ingatan

LRT3 lama dah tertangguh & baru dilancarkan Ahad lalu

Selama ini PBT & Prasarana, hangpa buat apa?

Kalau tak pasal video sebaran, hangpa buat tak nampak la eh?

Dan baru la ADUN, pegawai kerajaan negeri, pegawai PBT terhegeh-hegeh nak buat kerja

#carcentric #carbrain Negaraku

[Datuk Jahat Hensem @datukhensem]

Pelik2 je nak suruh caj kesihatan di klinik & hospital kerajaan dinaikkan supaya perkhidmatan kesihatan jadi lebih baik. Kenapa stop kat situ je. Minta lah juga kerajaan naikkan cukai, roadtax, harga petrol & diesel, buang subsidi gula & minyak masak. Lagi banyak tu untuk KKM.

As a surgeon, jangan cari gaduh dengan anesthetist. They will bring data and evidence-based guidelines 😄

[Thevesh @Thevesh]

After almost 4 years of hard work, I'm very happy to share something which I hope will be a game-changer for election data in Malaysia:

https://t.co/hW0OIDm594

To cut a (very) long story short, the site gives you access to Malaysia's COMPLETE electoral history. Every election, every candidate, every party, every seat - all there at your fingertips.

There are 5 types of datasets available:
• Parlimen/DUN-level results (the 'official' results, covering every single election since 1955)
• Parlimen/DUN-level maps (covering every single boundary-drawing exercise since 1954)
• Anonymised individual-level voter rolls for GE-13, GE-14, and GE-15, as well as Johor 2022 and N9 2023 (more to come soon)
• Saluran (!!!!) level results for GE-13, GE-14, and GE-15, as well as Johor 2022 and N9 2023 (also more to come soon)
• DM-level maps for the latest set (versions going back to 2003 will follow eventually)

Enjoy!

Data-cleaning and curation is bitter work, but once it's done once, everyone can reap the benefits.

This person is a specialist doctor working in a university hospital in Malaysia, yet she thinks Rohingya people get free medical treatment??

If ordinary Msian citizen pergi UiTM pun tak semestinya cont treatment there sbb bayaran mahal 😄😄

[Amelia Fauzi @Amelia_Fauzi]

@lorettabagg Hi loretta. I’m just refuting Noor Azizah’s accusation that we Malaysian dehumanised Rohingya people and have no compassion. We ordinary citizens have supported and aided them in our own best possible way for decades, include FREE TREATMENT and yes we DID NOT ask them to pay.

[The Sameer Project @sameerproject]

Families go to sleep knowing that the small bag of flour, rice, or lentils tucked away is all that stands between their kids and hunger.

Then imagine waking up to find it destroyed. Support here: https://t.co/1j2S3RoAgU

Containers chewed through. Food contaminated. Precious supplies scattered and ruined by rats during the night. Food that took weeks to find, food you cannot simply replace, food your children were depending on.

As garbage piles up and raw sewage flows through overcrowded camps, rodent infestations have become a growing crisis. Families live in constant fear that the little they have managed to save will be lost overnight.

When borders can close without warning and food is increasingly difficult to obtain, every handful of flour, grains, matters. And the fear that in an instant between the decisions of the occupation and the gnawing of the rats, everything can get worse.

The Sameer Project’s team is trying to explore safe and practical solutions that can help reduce rodent infestations in camps and shelters. From sanitation efforts to rodent control measures, we are searching for options that are both effective and safe for the families who live there.

Public hospitals are strained & overcrowded.
B40 do get hit the hardest. B40 and M40 Malaysians are suffering.
PPR flat areas look like slums.

100% true.

You say the cause is refugees.

I say the cause is poor governance and economic policies that favour the rich.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Old shows like Little Bear were actually better for your kid's brain, and scientists have the test scores to prove it.

Researchers at the University of Virginia took 60 four-year-olds and split them three ways. One group watched SpongeBob, which cuts to a new scene every 11 seconds. One watched a calm show that changed scenes twice a minute. One just colored with markers.

Nine minutes. Then every kid took the same battery of focus and self-control tests.

The SpongeBob kids tanked. Planning, memory, impulse control, all measurably worse than both other groups. The calm-show kids scored the same as the kids who did nothing but draw.

Nine minutes of fast cartoon. That was the whole dose.

Here is the mechanism. A small child's brain has a tiny buffer. Eleven-second cuts stacked with cartoon physics that break every real-world rule jam that buffer faster than the kid can empty it. They leave the screen already overloaded. Little Bear held one watercolor scene long enough for a four-year-old to keep up.

The old shows were built to match the speed of a child's mind. The new ones are built to capture it. CoComelon cuts every one to three seconds for the same reason a casino has no clocks: so you never look away.

That calm you remember was the one speed a developing brain could actually follow. Everything since has been built to outrun it.

Suddenly everyone’s an expert on undocumented migrants. But no one’s reading the actual data. Well let me help then I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️.
