Since a lot more people are running to my profile for argument material when I try to correct them:
1) Yes, I'm queer and have three pronouns. Your god made me like this, and I have learnt to love it. If YOU think he made a mistake with me, argue with him yourself.

FlyFM wants YOU to sell your face, your voice, you likeness, your sovereign self for RM2,000. So wrong on so many levels.
And then they wonder why people don't listen to the radio anymore.

nationalise unsold houses without compensation to developers
it's the price of bad business decisions
Malaysia’s property overhang is growing, with 33,094 completed residential units worth RM17.78 billion left unsold in the first half of 2026, compared to the 30,471 unsold units worth RM17.73 billion for the whole of last year.
Affordable and mid-priced homes are making up an increasing share of the overhang, adding the need for developers to better assess demand before launching new projects, said Finance Minister Amir Hamzah.

Hey, Mathematicians and Scientists:
This is exactly what happened to writers, artists and all creative professions.
Except we weren’t using any GenAj products. Our work was just stolen from us to power the machines.
GenAi Companies will exploit your labor too. Remember that.
🦔An NYU mathematician says OpenAI used his own progress against him to beat him to one of the biggest unsolved problems in mathematics. Tristan Buckmaster had been working toward a Millennium Prize proof using OpenAI's Codex when information about his progress reached OpenAI.
Days later, OpenAI published a full proof of the same problem using the same uncommon approach, after burning $22.5 million in compute to get there. When Buckmaster confronted them, exec Sébastien Bubeck allegedly said "Why would you ruin your career?" and "If you don't want me to be nice, then I don't have to be nice."
My Take
OpenAI spent $22.5 million to solve a problem with a $1 million prize. They didn't do this for the bounty. They needed a headline that says "our AI solved one of the hardest problems in mathematics" and they needed it before someone else got credit. They started days after they heard about Buckmaster's progress and took the same uncommon approach he'd pursued for months. That's hard to explain as coincidence.
Buckmaster did his work inside Codex. OpenAI reserves the right to train on Codex data. They admit they can't rule out that his usage helped improve their models. So a customer used their product, potentially handed them the roadmap, and then OpenAI outran him with $22.5 million in compute he could never match. I don't know if any of this was intentional. But if you're a researcher and you just watched this happen, I don't think you'd keep your best ideas inside someone else's product.

red button is genuinely a horrifying concept. do you think you could reproduce the circumstances that led to you meeting your partner? your friends? your career? you'll be forever haunted by what you couldn't recreate

See, stuff like this is what Etsy was created for. Unique pieces that you’ll cherish for years, crafted by talented hands in their garage.
Now it’s all screen-print tees and mass produced shit disguised as handmade goods.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Epstein survivors just announced they will release their own list of names.
“We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors.”
The government stalled.
Now the victims are doing it themselves.

Grew up in exile with this painting in our home & the following phrase: "All peoples of the earth have a homeland in which they live, but Palestinians have a homeland that lives within them."
Rest in peace, the brilliant Palestinian artist & freedom fighter, Sliman Mansour.

Beloved Palestinian academic, teacher & poet Refaat Alareer's (@GazaWritesBack) last poem before he was murdered by Israel was about the kids in Gaza playing with Kites.
Today Israel killed a 4 y.o kid for doing just that!
Brian Cox reads below Refaat's poem," If I Must Die"

The woman who hasn’t uttered a SINGLE word about the genocide in Palestine, and pretends to care about equality/humanity, is invested in israel. Shocker.

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Even as a Malaysian, I care about forests, animals & people anywhere.
So, I just created a resource document if you’re looking to support Indonesian or international NGOs working to protect communities & wildlife from the forest fires in Kalimantan.
