Don't use Sci-Hub — it's a "controversial" website with 84M+ research papers freely available.

We should try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.

Here's an updated thread on integrating Sci-Hub with Zotero to get free papers.

Please don't do this😉

#NoToJeepneyPhaseout

[ABS-CBN News @ABSCBNNews]

TINGNAN: Nakaharang ang mga jeep sa kahabaan ng Recto Avenue papuntang Mendiola sa Maynila bilang pagprotesta sa isinusulong na PUV modernization program.

Yesterday, temporarily, planet Earth took its first step over the 2.0 degrees Celsius barrier.

[Climate Dad @ClimateDad77]

Middle class parents need to grow the fuck up & stop treating this planet like an all-you-can-eat buffet.
No, you can’t have several SUVs, a big house stuffed with brands, fly off skiing in the winter & to the Caribbean in the summer & also have a survivable future for your kids.

Who the heck prepares LIBs with items allocated zero budget?

[ABS-CBN News Channel @ANCALERTS]

"The item already existed in 2022, but the amount was zero."

Rep. Stella Quimbo justified the transfer of P125 million in CIF to OVP in 2022 by saying that the item was already mentioned in the crafted budget and that any gov't agency is allowed to do inter-agency transfers.

Relationship tip: when your partner makes an awful but innocent mistake (leaves their phone in the cab, forgets their passport when heading to the airport for an international flight, drops and shatters a beloved item, gets in a fender bender, etc.), don't get mad at them. It makes no sense (it was accidental) and it accomplishes nothing except supplementing an already bad situation with an unnecessary fight.

Instead, think about it like this: as a couple, you will commit like 20 of these hideous mistakes a year and who knew that one of them was gonna happen today, but it did, so that sucks, but it's also a little bit funny, and let's just make the best of it.

This turns those moments from relationship-damaging to relationship-building. And of course, what goes around comes around—you do dumb things too, and you'd much rather your partner be a laughing teammate than an angry parent in those situations.

I didn't used to do this, I learned it from my wife. I am a frequent committer of hideous mistakes, and it surprised me that she never got mad about it, and then I started being like that too.

@edgeangeles Galing! Naga lang ba, sir, ang CebGo na ganito?

[Dr. Harold Aquino @haroldbethynam_]

Good luck po, lalo na with the ongoing Manila Bay reclamation

[The Philippine Star @PhilippineStar]

Engineer Mikunug Macud, DPWH-National Capital Region South Manila district engineer, said the target of the DPWH and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is to have zero-flooding in Metro Manila by the year 2030. https://t.co/1UTQ7deEsy

We need to disabuse this portrayal of Filipino resilience.

[ABS-CBN News @ABSCBNNews]

May diskarte!

Ganito ang naisip na paraan ng ilan para makatawid sa baha sa bahaging ito ng Taft sa Maynila. | via @JohnsonManabat

[Dr. Pamela Cajilig @anthropam]

Pedicab drivers clogging drains to push their services is not the main cause of Taft flooding. Persistent flooding takes years of poor decisions at various governance levels. And if there were enough social safety nets pedicab drivers wouldn't need to resort to extremes to eat.

Dear @PSAgovph, isn't it a disservice to Senior Citizens and PWDs to have their queue mixed with those with National IDs?

[Dr. Harold Aquino @haroldbethynam_]

What should be conveniently accessible by public transport:
✅ Healthcare facilities
✅ Govt and social services
❌ Malls

Guys, kulong pa rin si Napoles ha. Mej marami yata hindi naka-gets dun sa story. Or fault ba ng media? Hindi ba malinaw?
