Haven't booted into #Windows on either of my laptops in 2+ months. At this point, is it even worth keeping it on there?

I wish you could filter out reviews from westerners on #HappyCow or other review sites for #Asian #vegetarian food.
It's a generalization, but can't trust most of them them. Too many mediocre, overpriced restaurants in touristy areas in Japan or elsewhere, catering to western #vegetarians, getting glowing reviews.

#Jacobin is really the king of commissioning older western white #leftists to write about the global south. This piece does no original reporting, has no Indonesian voices, and makes blanket statements.
It's not bad, but I can think of dozens of Indonesians who could have written a far better piece than this.

After two days offline, coming back online and seeing the news about the targeted assassination of the #AlJazeera journalists by #Israel was a tough, painful return to reality.
So many crimes, no accountability.

I bet I'm the only person in #Japan who learned about what #OnePiece is not from anyone here, but from following news about #Indonesia and that symbol being used as a sign of protest against #prabowo

Went back for another assignment at #Osaka #worldExpo #Japan and saw no line at the mediocre #India (sorry, "Bharat") pavilion but a decent line at the far-superior #Indonesia pavilion.
Word has gotten around, it seems.

#India pavilion at #Osaka #WorldExpo was a #Hindu-nationalist showcase, adorned with religious symbols, showcasing temples and and scriptures through. Didn't see a single mention of #Islam anywhere nor much of anything from #SouthIndia
Stark contrast to the far superior #Indonesia pavilion next door, which highlighted the country's cultural & natural diversity, not highlighting one religion or ethnic group over others.

Consider this - "only 10.6 per cent of India’s population speaks English"
Yet so many major media outlets only publish in English. It's the elite speaking to the elite, while the right speaks in the vernaculars.

With friends having kids, its fascinating how some will tell me
- "No travels plans for the next 3-6 years, until he/she is big enough."
While others are
- "See you next month! We want to travel a lot while he/she can still be a free lap child"

How about only helping when its a disaster in a blue state or region. No reason to help those in places that elect this terrible person.
I say this as someone who grew up in Kansas, not far from the affected region.

Since moving to #Kansai it's quite stunning how rarely people from #Tokyo come here.
I've had more visits from friends or contacts from other parts of Japan, and even #Taipei #Indonesia or #Singapore, than #Tokyo. They really expect me to just come visit them...

As I have finally setup #Linux on my travel laptop, I'm now officially not using any software or services from any American (#Google #Microsoft #Facebook/#Meta #Amazon #Twitter) or #Chinese tech giant.
The sole exception: LinkedIn. A tough one to escape from...

Just got a press release on climate, leading with how tragic the #California forest #fires were, then saying it's part of a trend.
Then it mentioned recent fires in #Australia and #Canada and...that's it.
#ForestFires - and #climate disasters overall - only matter when they take place in the global north.

The amount of resources being used to find the murderer of a CEO really show how certain lives matter more than others.
If the victim was an immigrant, or a minority in a low-income neighborhood, you can bet there won't be drones spread citywide nor non-stop media attention.

Looking for a #journalist who is in, or has covered, #environmental issues in #India-administrated #Kashmir for a potential cross-border collaborative investigation.
So far, it's been very challenging, so please share widely, or send suggestions to me.

Just posted the same post here and at #Bluesky and got 10X the engagement/comments here. I know I'm still new there and building a following, but I do feel this is my community.

2024-11-18 08:37:21 UTC

One thing that #bluesky has #mastodon beat is starterpacks. Way easier to discover accounts and follow people with shared interests there. Anything similar here?
(I still much prefer it over here(

I found a reference to that in this person's account too! Is it this? https://www.mintpressnews.com/leak-cia-ned-color-revolution-coup-indonesia/285617/
Just...crazy.

Saw a tankie account, in between anti-Ukraine, pro-China BS, claim that what happened in #Bangladesh was a #CIA instigated coup. Just...mind-boggling.
It's never ceases to amaze me how they tankies are unable to imagine anyone in the world has agency besides the #US.
