Law like this is why you have to read without AI and actually study history and humanities.

I just checked the decree penalizing Obstruction of Justice (Pres. Decree 1829) and apparently when committed by public officers it carries the penalty of perpetual disqualification from public office…

OH THINGS IN THE SENATE ABOUT TO BE UGLY THAN IMEE MARCOS

[raffy magno @raffymagno]

Praying for all the journalists risking their lives tonight just so the public can see the truth of what’s happening in the Senate.

There is no substitute for a free press. No alternative to people willing to stand in the middle of chaos so the country can witness the truth in real time.

#that statement on fake pwd ID cards is actually so fucking crazy like u have to HATE disabled people to write something like that and then your coworkers have to hate disabled people too to approve it and post it on social media

talked to an immigrant tailor who told me he found out one of his clients supported deportations so he made his shirt collar too small on purpose

When our earlier report on AI in BPO sector came out, Concentrix fired Renso Bajala, a key source, for speaking out. Plus we learned Accenture now checks social media feeds of some employees.

Here we report on what digital workers call an industry-wide "code of silence."

Yes, if you have ADHD and are unmedicated, you MUST find a way to flow with your brain and not against it. For me this includes a healthy amount of doing some stuff "good enough" and having self forgiveness about the periods where my executive dysfunction is very low

STATEMENT ON THE STOP WORK ORDER

At LoveYourself, we want to reassure everyone that our essential services—HIV testing, treatment, and TransHealth—remain unaffected. These services are not reliant on foreign aid, and we remain fully committed to supporting our community without interruption.

However, the STOP WORK order does affect key innovations we’ve worked hard to deliver, including free PrEP, self-testing kits, and campaigns aimed at increasing awareness and scaling up life-saving services. This also impacts many of our staff working on these programs, who are the heart and soul of our innovations.

We want to assure our team and community that we are doing everything we can to ensure our staff are supported during this time. Their dedication to our mission drives us forward, and we remain committed to taking care of them as we navigate these challenges.

We also empathize deeply with the global and local organizations facing similar setbacks. In many countries with high HIV rates, disruptions like these can halt medication procurement and vital services, putting countless lives at risk.

We call on decision-makers to revisit and act quickly on this matter. While we respect processes, the urgency to save lives cannot be overstated. Every delay affects real people, real families, and real futures.

To the Philippine government, this is your moment to step up and partner with civil society organizations. By working together, we can scale up programs, foster innovation, and fill the gaps left by international funding uncertainties.

We also recognize the importance of sustainability in our response, which is why LuxeCare—our social enterprise model—is here to augment services, not only in sexual health but also in wellness, aesthetics, and diagnostics. Through this, we continue to explore new ways to ensure financial sustainability while delivering holistic care to the community.

At LoveYourself, we are more determined than ever to find solutions, care for our community, and move forward with hope and resilience. Together, we will continue to make a difference.

– Dr. Vinn and the LoveYourself Team

In the local context too: I paid a LOT of money to experience this live.

And you may have a shiny iphone or pixel phone but they ain't professional footage, my dude.

[saz ❖ @miyagender]

what happened to concert etiquette? and by that i mean entering a space with people where for one night you all enjoy yourselves to the fullest? instead you’re all taking photos and videos of a stranger and threatening them on the internet…? are you genuinely insane?

[The Idolcast Podcast @idolcast]

While researching for the next part of my series on BigBang I found a great article from 2010 (!!) from Time Magazine that talks about how Taeyang was the first Asian artist to chart so high on the iTunes R&B chart--back when iTunes sales actually meant something as a metric.

One of my all-time faves. Happy for everyone who discovered it this year!

many young people (esp women) are part of the protests in sk, among them many are kpop fans who brought lightsticks. fans noticed quite a few pearl aqua & are attributing it to following Jonghyun's spirit & footsteps of speaking up loudly & politically for a better future

[Kwon Jang-Ho 권장호 @janghokwon]

Okay, I'm starting a thread of all the best protest songs/covers I find in the run up to the impeachment vote, because Koreans know how to do protest songs and I think it could get epic. I'll add more as I find them. Let's start with this festive one:
