More pet stores should do this.. what a great initiative ❤️ Adopt don’t shop!

[Ceddy @CeddyOrNot]

This new pet shop in One Utama (Petemo, LG floor at Aeon) allows you to adopt stray cats! What a cute concept!! I happened to park near there and was pleasantly surprised by how clean the place is!!

I got a bit sad because if I didn’t have pets already I would’ve brought one of them home. 🥹🥹🥹

80/20 Rule:

[William Peynsaert @PeynsaertBill]

'why are you only sensitive to this war?' Easy: it's not a war. It's at least three countries in the top ten of most powerful militaries in the world bombing the crap out of an overpopulated strip of land smaller than the city of London. Hamas poses no existential threat to Israel whatsoever. If what Israel claims is true and Hamas wanted Israel to attack and kill many children for social media purposes then Israel is trully motherfuckingly dumb and demonically evil to step right into that trap. You don't bomb the entire supermarket because you think you'll hit one shoplifter. To hell with this idiotic logic that Israel needs to bomb Gaza. It doesn't need to do anything. It just needs to stop taking revenge on two million people because it underestimated the enemy it helped to create.

The saddest part of my job is seeing the ecosystem I love and live to protect dying in front of my eyes… The fourth global coral bleaching event has been confirmed. https://t.co/vWbUYEySHL

Unrelated but we often don’t realize how inclusive this calendar is

It has all 4 types of calendars:
1. Gregorian
2. Hijri/Islamic
3. Chinese lunisolar
4. Tamil
ALL IN ONE SINGLE SHEET.

Our kalendar kuda is indeed one of a kind, diverse, and uniquely Malaysian 🇲🇾❤️

[Fizzy in the Sea! @fizzyinthesea]

THIS. Oh my god 😩💔 Are we not all complicit, standing by, allowing this to occur????

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This is without a doubt one of the most important pieces of reporting on Gaza, and by far one of the most disturbing: https://t.co/C8ahv3cpbx

All by Israeli journalist @yuval_abraham based on whistleblower accounts from within the IDF and intelligence agencies.

Israel has developed an AI called "Lavender" to generate kill lists, with almost no human verification to double check the targets selected by the machine: only a a “rubber stamp” check of about “20 seconds” just to make sure the AI target is male.

Moreover, the Israeli army "systematically attacked the targeted individuals while they were in their homes — usually at night while their whole families were present — rather than during the course of military activity". In fact Israel developed another automated system called “Where’s Daddy?” used "specifically to track the targeted individuals and carry out bombings when they had entered their family’s residences" 🤮

One of the intelligence officers who spoke to Abraham is quoted in the article: “We were not interested in killing [Hamas] operatives only when they were in a military building or engaged in a military activity. On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”

In fact the article reveals a ratio, I think for the first time: "according to two of the sources, the army also decided during the first weeks of the war that, for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians... The sources added that, in the event that the target was a senior Hamas official with the rank of battalion or brigade commander, the army on several occasions authorized the killing of more than 100 civilians in the assassination of a single commander."

A ratio of 20 civilians killed for one target works out to about 95% civilian deaths.

Please do read the whole article as it describes in details how the whole process works with the Lavender AI. It's industrialized extermination the likes of which we haven't seen since... you know when.

Am I the only Malaysian who thinks KLIA is a good airport? 😅 (aside from the non-operational skytrain). All the comments here so negative.. me on the other hand, I’m always grateful abt how everything is so easy & convenient at KLIA anytime I land there.

[BFM News @NewsBFM]

1. The Malaysian Aviation Commission announces that effective June 1, all international departures from Terminal 1 of the KLIA 1 will incur a passenger service charge of RM73, and RM50 for KLIA 2.

This is regardless of whether the passenger is travelling within or beyond Asean.

@thatizyan I thought to myself, surely she would acknowledge & make even the tiniest mention about the genocide. Coldplay for example didn’t mention sides but still delivered a key message on peace. But nope… her show seems quite narcissistic. Focus is nothing but her 😅

[Fizzy in the Sea! @fizzyinthesea]

@thatizyan Yeppp couldn’t agree more. I went to one of her SG concerts, of course superbly impressed with the production quality of the entire show, and her showmanship. But it ends there - with stark realization that both TS and SG are just ruthless determined businessmen out to make $$$

[Fizzy in the Sea! @fizzyinthesea]

@NewsBFM Took them 2 hours to get bags to carousel after my flight today 🫠

[Fizzy in the Sea! @fizzyinthesea]

2 hours between my flight landing and bags coming out onto conveyer belts. Is this a @MY_Airports lag or @malindoair lag? Took as much time for me to fly 2000km as it did to pass thru from arrival gate to airport exit doors 😅🫠

[Fizzy in the Sea! @fizzyinthesea]

@FarFazu This is why I never loan money to ‘friends’ more than a small amount in the hundreds that I know and am willing to never see again. Start mintak ribu2 je my immediate response is, “No”. No excuse no reason, just no. Especially if I know lifestyle depa jenis lavish

There's lots of announcements and news coming out of #COP28. I'm here to rank them for you from a climate scientist's perspective, using 🌴 for the wins and 🤦‍♀️ for the facepalms.

Did I miss something? Let me know and I'll add it to this list! #ClimateAction #COP28FromHome 🧵

[Taha @MrTaha]

Having got caught up in many arguments on Israel/Palestine online, I thought it might be useful to put together a thread of common pro-Israel talking points and what I think the appropriate rebuttals to them are.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Why don't Palestinians embrace non-violent resistence?

You've probably heard this question asked a lot over the past 2 weeks.

A short response. A🧵.

Wow. Can’t recall the last time I settle down to sleep at 2am. I feel like a zombie. I normally sleep at 9pm (and automatically wake up at 5am with no alarm), but workload today was insane 🫠🧟
