I love how Outlook deletes meeting emails the moment I hit accept. It’s a genius idea, because obviously I’ll never need the agenda, Zoom link, meeting details, or literally anything else from that email again. Truly incredible software.

When the information from your eyes doesnt match your brain.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Coerência é condenar a invasão da Ucrânia, de Gaza, Venezuela e Taiwan.

Não há imperialismo do bem.

4 ditadores corruptos dividem o mundo enquanto a UE dorme e tenta agradar

[Mafalda Anjos @manjos]

Meia dúzia de notas sobre a Venezuela.
1. Maduro é um ditador tenebroso, não há ali qualquer vislumbre de democracia sob nenhum ponto de vista. Ponto final, parágrafo.
2. O que se passa no país em termos sociais, económicos e políticos é desolador. Os venezuelanos mereciam muito melhor.
3. Porém, esta intervenção americana é ilegítima e injustificada — representa uma gravíssima violação do Direito Internacional Público. Não é uma manobra de defesa, é uma manobra de dominação geoestratégica. Trump apresenta a desculpa dos cartéis de droga, mas o objetivo é chegar ao petróleo, ao lítio, ao ouro, aos minerais raros. Um regresso à lógica imperialista do século XIX que legitima outras intervenções e ocupações noutras partes do mundo. Uma visão de uma tripartição do globo, em que os EUA dominam o continente americano, a Rússia fica com a Ucrânia e a China ocupa Taiwan.
4. Além disso, esta intervenção na Venezuela é também uma conveniente manobra de diversão para os incómodos Epstein Files. Trump é um perigoso narcísico, um autoritário anti-democrático que só conhece o cotão do seu umbigo e instintos viscerais. Move-se por uma lógica egoísta, transacional e pela lei da força.
5. Mesmo sendo obviamente desejável uma mudança de regime na Venezuela, é assustador que seja feita desta forma.
6. A imposição pela força não pode ser aplaudida, mesmo quando é contra regimes de que não gostamos. Porque a pergunta obrigatória é esta: e quando esta imposição pela força for feita contra regimes, líderes ou países de que gostamos?

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

The history of US interventionism in Latin America is a history of human rights violations, human experimentation, slavery, poverty and genocide, not emancipation. Maduro is a monster who does not care about his people, but let’s not be naive: neither does the US

“Girls mature faster”

No ...girls get punished earlier, blamed earlier, sexualized earlier, and expected to cope earlier.
