Her (2013)

went to browse the faculty directory, not particularly thrilled to find out that i only found (1) academic that taught me during my time at uni. i guess the rest of them were precarious contractors.

on some good news, i went to check on my brother's latest substack and it's not another rumination about his doomed romance but musings about his relationship with the internet, in which he also credited me for shaping his awareness 🥹

The capture of U.S. media by Trump-aligned billionaires is bad. But how bad depends largely on us. If we don’t read, react or talk to and about them, traffic goes down, advertisement goes down, and readership goes down. Stop getting click-baited and rage-baited and invest in old and new good media!

might actually pursue a PhD out of spite so my anti-science dad would fully shut the fuck up in front of me.

aside from the very obvious devastation due to foreign factors, i genuinely just wish if our domestic overlords can really invest back in system-building before the GDP target exhaust every single one of us.

diabolical.

slowly realising that all my childhood media was raised by the gays.

choosing to believe Charlie XCX is the trigger behind this article.

A lot of people being mean to me (Asking if I have any publications they can read)

need to see future coverage of when each of the artifacts get to return home.

the most difficult part of a media critic is that you have to open your eyes to consume Media, then try your hardest not to feel utter despair with whatever is left out there.

eventually, my parents need to understand that i will need to leave them again to somewhere very far and foreign.

the so-called public intellectuals live inside your walls and they demand rigorous citations.

for the amount of global goods that are marked with "made in China", i think Chinese workers should be paid with better wages and work in better conditions.

my only conspiracy theory is that Korea is scheming to take up Vietnam for very evil reasons.

happy to be here (seeing people arguing about voting patterns while living in a nation that voting is functionally non-existent).

the intersection of art and technology is fake and evil.

interesting that you said that cos there's literally a giant buddha statue just got erected right in the biggest city of America.

never not bitter about this one time i lied of having citizenship and immediately got a job interview. but then the truth reveals with the bonus compliment "your english is so good" and i didn't get the job. mind you, i do have full working rights, just the wrong residency status.

at the heart of the political will, it might be easier to penalise people than to build more houses. with that said, migrants remain powerless in a foreign land, not even the sheer idea of diplomacy between nations. the mercy lies within the locals, if they do even bother.

it's been about three years since the Elon regime and i start to wonder where have the journalists migrated to? consider how it was *the* platform to have real-time live reporting (chronological feed) and verifiable sources (blue tick).

found an old photo of my late grandpa and he looked gay as hell...further confirming my suspicions ngl....

nvm just realised my insta audience are people who graduated and don't work in higher ed.

unfortunately, i have a growing desire to make Whatsapp my primary messaging app.

"talk to a friend" sounds good in theory, but extremely difficult when you have a mental disorder.

TGIF

only on bsky dot com that i see people care about canvas going down.

tonight's weird ass episode: reflecting on an affair from 7 years ago and cringing so hard with things you put up with.

i consulted the LLMs and it said that you're a darling.

i would take it personally how my friends refuse to join me on here.

"LABOR LOVES ISIS" is incredible work.

Today in: No Gays Were Consulted, I've been sent PR from this school education platform.

i start to wonder how often would american users ever feel uneasy with the rest of the globe commenting on their domestic affairs but guess it doesn't much due to the very obvious power imbalance.

Posting corrupts, absolute posting corrupts absolutely

it's literally the same group of people moving between the metropoles and dominate the ""indie"" scene.

can't tell if it's the "social" is the bad part or the "media" one is.

i have no concrete data on this but i truly believe there's a strong correlation between economic anxiety and aggressive posting behavior.

the decline of literacy starts with how we have abandoned the art of Blogging.

friends tryna rage bait me by sending very infuriating articles (that i have already seen) about the australian immigration. i do not appreciate such attempts.

the rise of AI feels like a humiliation ritual against expertise.

edging myself real hard about getting the tickets in July. but alas, i do have a full-time job now and that would require an approval.

You’ve got to be bookmaxxing. You have to be knowledgepilled and on that information grind. Checking in and looking things up and citing sources. Dont let them bookmog you. Read.

the little zone of art/culture/marketing on instagram possess a very fascinating leftist culture that also scares me more than stuff on here (due to volume and scale).

gm my eyes are opened but i don't wanna get out of bed.

enough with AI ethics, where is Bsky ethics at?!?

omg???? BlueSky mentioned on a TV show?????

i'm tired of teenage drama shows with emotionally matured teens, give me adult drama shows with emotionally matured adults.
