Dear parents:
Maybe stop dismissing age ratings and actually pay attention to what your children is consuming?
You don't let underage kids drink liquor or watch R-18 movies
But no, let's blame the Tacloban incident on video games.
"video games are for kids" my ass
This ad irked Duterte so much that he tried to revoke Trillanes’ amnesty and successfully denied ABS-CBN a franchise.
All for it to be hauntingly prophetic.
It’s embarrassing how my country has become a PR reset button for controversial celebrities from other countries yaiks. What do I expect? Accountability has never really been our thing. Just look at our politicians.
I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
the way that Bench could have taken advantage of F4/Jerry Yan’s resurgence and gotten him as their endorser again but no… they decided to enable an actor plagued with heavy and serious controversies to have a comeback
PH has truly become a dumpsite for such people
what can we expect, bench/suyen corp literally funded the return to the top office of this country’s biggest human rights violator and plunderers since world war 2.
boycott @benchtm, muragame udon ph, human, aldo ph, kashieca, etc!
Google just permanently banned a manga artist’s entire Google account, just for uploading his own old manga files to Drive.
AI moderation triggered and flagged it, he tried to submit appeal then he got rejected it by Google and now he has lost everything like Gmail, Drive, all linked services is gone.
He never even sharing the files publicly, it’s only backing up his own a private work like any creator and artists.
This is Google Drive “AI moderation” in action. No human support and no serious to take action.
Physical storage or real private alternatives only.
Support the artists getting screwed by this. This level of corporate overreach is insane.
“The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you…”
It is enormously frustrating as a scifi author that we have been writing stories for DECADES about why it's bad to hand your thinking over to a machine, and then Gen AI comes along and everyone starts using it without question.
The lack of news on Gaza isn’t because the genocide is over.
It’s because Israel slaughtered the journalists and Western media pretends there’s a ceasefire.
You cannot understand the climate crisis if you don’t understand colonialism. You cannot understand colonialism if you don’t understand capitalism. Everything is connected. There is a subtle fabric of oppression that links every form of suffering around the world.
no you’re not middle class
you’re working class with a little savings that’s just one medical emergency away from poverty
hating the poor won’t make you rich
