Ada anak kecil di kampung saya, Ngada, Flores, meninggal bunuh diri. Anaknya dikenal cerdas dan ramah di sekolah. Dia meninggal karena putus asa. Sebelum pergi, dia cuma minta satu ke mamanya.

'Mama, saya minta buku dan pena'

Mamanya ga bs kasi dua hal itu lantaran kondisi ekonomi memburuk.

Mungkin buat penguasa dan media massa, anak ini cuma satu angka di dalam statistik. Bahkan bs jadi mudah dilupakan.

Tapi buat saya, anak ini jadi bukti nyata bahwa kita semua gagal bukan karena pengaruh asing. Kebanyakan kita semua gagal karena kita ga mau berbenah. Kita tetap memilih pemimpin yg itu2 aja. Kita tetap mempertahankan institusi yg diisi oleh orang2 itu aja.

Kita sibuk mencari kesalahan org lain, tp kita ga pernah mau sama-sama berjuang sebagai anak bangsa.

Pak Presiden, bapak selalu bilang kalo Bapak adalah presiden semua orang. Saya gak minta Bapak jadi NABI.

Saya minta bapak tidak membiarkan sistem yg uda bobrok ini semakin bobrok.

Belum pernah sesakit hati ini nulis postingan di media sosial.

Zelda Williams has made a statement asking people to stop sending her AI videos of her father, Robin Williams:

“Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, i’ll restrict and move on. But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want.

To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to ‘this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that’s enough’, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening.

You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.”

Nasi
Sepotong tempe
Seuprit labu siam campur wortel
Tiga bulatan kecil olahan telur.
Tiga biji buah kelengkeng.

Menurut saya,ini cara halus pemerintah menghina rakyatnya.

“Kalau militer ikut campur dalam masalah ketatanegaraan ya hancur. Lha iya. Militer kan harus melindungi masyarakat, lha kalau ikut campur mengadili masyarakat, ya terus piye, sing melindungi masyarakat, melindungi negara, tokoh-tokoh itu siapa? Itu kan semuanya angkatan bersenjata,” kata tokoh Gerakan Nurani Bangsa (GNB) sekaligus istri almarhum Presiden keempat RI Abdurrahman Wahid atau Gus Dur, Sinta Nuriyah.

Nepal
The lifestyle of politicians' children is directly linked to corruption in that country.

From luxury cars to designer clothes and endless vacations - everything is paid for with taxpayers' money.

Anger can wait, but when it comes, it hits hard - just like in Nepal.

In less than 48 hours Gen Z protest in Nepal did the following:
- Burnt down multiple politicians' houses
- Increased the protest even during curfew and firing around multiple cities
- made the Prime Minister resign
- entered parliament and burnt it.

This is the generation that doesn't forgive, doesn't forget.

Sejak demo besar 25 Agustus, tercatat 23 laporan orang hilang hingga 1 September 2025. Dari jumlah itu, 20 orang masih belum ditemukan, sementara 3 orang sudah ditemukan.
