I need a face massage. Then, I need to listen to cassette tapes. I need to eat nasi kerabu warna hijau and kuih akok. Then, I want to pick up hundreds of saga seeds and stitch them into batu seremban. And write lyrics in my buku 555. And play congkak with my friends.

Yesterday, Malaysian indigenous came down to Putrajaya in thousand to protest against demolition of houses by the authority and also government failure to defend the indigenous rights. #landrightsnow #indigenous #orangasli #malaysia

@cathaypacific It's been a week since my luggage was damaged by your company when I was flying to the US. I think the more appropriate adjective would be exploded. I have done everything to contact you appropriately but your company has not responded.

This iconic exchange. Someone check on Judi Dench today 💞

Dame Maggie Smith’s Oscar-winning performance in THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE (1969) remains a touchstone of cinematic brilliance.

In her portrayal of a fiercely passionate teacher at a Scottish all-girls school, Smith captivated audiences with her ability to balance romanticism and reality. Her performance is a stunning exploration of power and vulnerability which still leaves us spellbound.

my favorite maggie smith movie will always be hook, which she played at 56 years old but the makeup was so good it confused an entire generation of people when she just kept looking the same or better for the next 3 decades

Here's a thread about a paper I recently read that made me genuinely *furious*.

It's a paper from 1980.

You know... 40 years before the pandemic began.

You wanna know the title?

"Coronavirus Infections of Man Associated With Diseases Other Than the Common Cold"

Some possible outcomes of yesterday's events:

1. In Wagner PMC, a split has reportedly started between those who felt used and those who remained loyal to Prigozhin after the failed rebellion.

2. Combat pilots reportedly quit Wagner PMC due to their disagreement with the way planes and helicopters of the Russian Aerospace Forces were destroyed yesterday.

3. A vertical of power has collapsed.
No one in Russia can feel safe anymore. Neither officials, nor oligarchs, nor FSB officers who used to think they were the rulers of life. Putin stopped holding a monopoly on violence in Russia yesterday. It was proven that factions with more weapons and determination decide everything.

4. Russia might be facing a bloody war, not a civil war, but a war of clans, armed groups and private armies: Chechens, Prigozhin's supporters, armed mercenaries, who will separate from Prigozhin or other PMCs and be hired by local clans for protection from invading outsiders.
All large business and oligarchs will probably create (if they haven't already) private armies, as Gazprom has already done to protect itself.
Conflicts and redistribution of property will be resolved by force. It will be the new 90s but far worse - Resembling the Mad Max style and genre of an anti-utopia action movie.

5. The Russian army, it seems, has de facto ceased to exist as a united structure. Soldiers and officers sitting in trenches in the massacre unleashed by Putin, probably finally realized yesterday the utter pointlessness of the war against Ukraine, against the background of the fact that a group of criminals in the rear can pass 600km in a day, sweeping away everything in their path and then be amnestied after killing pilots and civilians.

6. Ukraine is a few steps closer to fully restoring its territorial integrity, including Crimea.

7. What a pity that this circus did not end with the self-destruction of Putin's regime and Prigozhin faction.
But I believe it will happen again with even larger scale!

Most humiliating thing about being in Singapore is how many parents on public transport talk to (shout at) their crying toddlers as though the CHILDREN are trying to manipulate THEM and ruin THEIR lives.

anyways if anyone ever tells you again that liberalism and representative democracy just needs us to put the right people in power, point them to the case of Fahmi Fadzil and every other "progressive" making u-turns on their public principles the minute they come into power

The cultural mother wound involves a core belief that mothers are to be: completely selfless, put everyone else first, and to wear self neglect and betrayal as a badge of honor.
