Seeing dogs, especially puppies, makes me happy.

All of a sudden the internet slowed down... but only on my laptop (and the tv). I checked the internet speed test on my phone and it's plenty fast. But on my laptop it's super slow. I tried changing DNS , but the speed is not improving. I disabled all bandwidth-hogging tasks via Task Manager, and it's still not improving. I wonder what could be the reason. A friend is blaming it on the geomagnetic storm.

In the PH, the hit song "Pantropiko" was the first song composed by Angelika Sam Ortiz, a film major. Already with 45M streams on Spotify and 16M views on YouTube, the summer-themed song has made PH girl group BINI the most popular P-Pop group in the country, even more popular than SB19 and BGYO.

Another unique(?) trope in #Kdrama land is this:

When a character is about to reveal something important, like their true identity, they will be interrupted with either:

  1. An emergency.
  2. They're summoned by someone higher.

^_^;;

You eventually get used to it, and expect it is going to happen.

Volleyball is becoming more popular in the PH. 17,834 fans trooped to the Araneta Coliseum for the PH's PVL semifinals games while 19,505 watched the UST-La Salle women’s Final Four clash at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Meanwhile, the PBA (PH pro men's basketball league) struggles to fill stadiums.

PH tells China to leave Panatag Shoal, also known as Scarborough Shoal, which is a high-tide elevation located just over 120 nautical miles off the coast of Zambales. According to international law, the shoal is within the PH's exclusive economic zone (220 nautical miles).

@jikodesu@mastodon.social avatar

How can economics be a field of science? All sciences are based on the Earth’s (or universe's) natural laws.

How can unlimited economic growth on a finite planet be possible?

Why doesn't wealth accummulated (stolen) by a few rich individuals trickle down to the poor?

Economics is not based on reality, so why is it called a field of science?

To my fellow tooters who are also , did you ever stop fearing ghosts? 🤣 I'm one month in and I still can't sleep properly unless music is playing to fill the silence lol

@teacherbuknoy We had the wake of my dead uncle in my grandma’s house. So many people and relatives came one night that all the rooms were full and I had nowhere to sleep, so I slept in my dead uncle's room, alone. I woke up the next morning without seeing his ghost. Sometimes, you just need to face your fears.

Guys, hell is not suffering record-breaking temperatures. Hell is having governments and wealthy people pour billions into greenhouse gases through oil, coal and gas and funding energy-intensive cryptomining and AI. Worse is having people who deny there's a climate crisis.

High temperatures is only one symptom of a much bigger problem

@eeyam As a Tagalog native speaker, I can tell the difference between the two Tagalog sentences. However, I cannot explain it properly like he can. Just goes to show that a native speaker (think English) does not necessarily make a good teacher.

TIME Magazine noted PH President Marcos Jr. attempts to rehabilitate the name of Ferdinand Marcos Sr., and that his win in the elections was thanks to the "whitewashing" of his family's plunder of the country.
