The key to having happiness and genuinely beautiful friendships is to cut out the latter asap. The only limited thing you have is life […]

Things I’m enjoying about London, being polite to strangers is the default and not weirdly considered to be a sign of weakness.😅

Language is fascinating, you don’t often see spoken cantonese written out… and it just occurred to me that the word for “yesterday” is 尋日 which broken down means “to find” and “day” which is pretty epically poetic if you think about it 🤯

This seems to have faded from the news cycle. So a reminder of something weirdly suspicious… https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/dec/21/openai-whistleblower-dead-aged-26

NYT continues its shift to extreme right. Today they will teach you how to befriend open and proud racists, because what’s a little racism and dehumanization? They are nice to you as long as you’re white, and surely soon enough you’ll embrace just as much racist beliefs as them! […]

“Adding to the worries, the Justice Department issued a memo this summer saying it would ramp up efforts to denaturalize immigrants who’ve committed crimes or are deemed to present a national security risk. “ It IS obvious to everyone that “deemed to present a national security risk” can be […]

Today in wtf… “Nearly deporting a woman with more right to be in this country than most is a product of the racial profiling inherent in President Trump’s immigration crackdown.” ICE has previously stated that “ethnicity can be a factor supporting reasonable suspicion in appropriate […]

Hot take China is much better positioned to support a society transitioning into AI labor. As unpopular as “redistribution” sounds, if the government redistributes value creation achieved by AI, it could support universal basic income for people not having to work anymore […]

I’m rarely outside, and when I am, i get random karens yelling at me for no reasons. It’s acceptable to be racist again. At a hotel so likely from the less developed parts of white America.

Softbank is basically Cathie Wood 📉 🤪

World’s best cities London > LA > Hong Kong > SF A bit surprised that they would think LA is better than HK tbh 🤪 […]

It seems Serena Joy goes by the name of Helen Andrews in America This whole article is trash but this much is true “It’s difficult to overstate how much she idealizes men and disparages women.” I guess that’s a great summary of misogyny. Anything labelled “feminine” is automatically inferior […]

I don’t think I’m overreacting, nor do I want to be fearmongering, but I sure hope I’m not under-reacting… “Trump said. The money would go to pay the armed forces while the government is closed. “Today, he sent us a check for $130 million.”” […]

“The law might have tolerated government conduct of this sort a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. But in the here and now, the First Amendment bars government officials from shutting down peaceful protests,” his lawsuit says […]

A new weird trend “on the left” Trust fund babies making a living talking about how entrepreneurs who worked don’t “deserve” their money 🤔 Make it make sense…

Remembering that in early elementary school (or late kindergarten) that one of my parents tried to tell me Santa delivers presents to everyone in one night…. And me thinking “that’s the dumbest thing to say, it’s physically impossible”… is that a “normal” response? I feel like there’s no way […]

Having followed the Umbrella Revolution closely, I would say it’s looking very familiar in terms of progress and trend… A non-violent population trying to go against state sanctioned violence just does not work. If you don’t know what the Umbrella Revolution is, go educate yourself… but here’s […]

How did i travel to HKT but came back to PST with a CET jet lag ???😀???

As someone unfortunately been cursed with being a walking lie detector - an interesting observation: normal people don’t believe what they are saying when they lie but narcissists actually do. It’s been puzzling for a bit but I finally figured it out (maybe?) - they really actually believe that […]

“The #1 mistake people make is playing life like a PVP game when it's actually a sandbox game.”

Just me looking up the least racist countries to move to 🤪 I always wondered why LA is more racist than SF, maybe the white ppl here just assume we shouldn’t leave those well defined “asian areas” https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/least-racist-countries

PSA for anyone who still have grandparents around - just hang with them while you can, play cards, do random things, talk about nothing, before it’s too late… even if there are other fam you loath around, ignore them and hang with the grandparents before it’s too late.

* press “I told you so” button * “the idea of a bubble is no longer much of a debate. In fact, it’s pretty much conventional wisdom. Last week, Bloomberg reported that hedge fund manager David Einhorn had warned of the chances “that a tremendous amount of capital destruction is going to come […]
