Epstein seems to have been interested (involved, maybe?) in the overthrow of Gaddafi, particularly with Libya’s frozen assets.

I’ve seen my fair share of gore and shock content in the past but these documents take the cake for being the most vile and unsettling shit I’ve ever read holy fuck

I usually have a strong stomach for these things (Probably due to desensitization. Growing up on late 2000’s and early 2010’s internet unsupervised fucks people up, evidently) but this has been one of the few things I’ve ever seen so far to make me feel actually sick to my stomach.

We have been reminded once again that the Bourgeoisie are irredeemable in every conceivable way, and only Communist revolution can save us.

Version without the paywall

One bright spot in U.S.-Southeast Asia policy remains the U.S,-Philippines alliance, which appears stronger now than at any point in the previous decade. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has made a sustained effort to court the Trump administration and was the first Southeast Asian leader to secure a meeting with Trump during his second term.

And ofc my country remains a US Puppet… Pro-US political commentators here justify US involvement by citing our territorial conflict in the South China Sea, even though the article shows that Vietnam is warming up to China even despite their own territorial conflicts there as well.

Vietnam, which had seen its relationship with the United States expand significantly under the Biden administration as both sides had a common interest in deterring China’s expansion in the South China Sea, was dismayed when Trump announced a 46 percent tariff rate on Vietnamese exports in April.

Given the uncertainty stemming from current U.S. policy, Hanoi has warmed ties with Beijing in recent months, with Chinese President Xi Jinping visiting Hanoi twice in 18 months and Vietnamese Communist Party General Secretary To Lam traveling to Beijing in August 2024.

Hasan allegedly used a shock collar on his dog on stream, and chuds are clinging onto this to discredit his views.

I don’t know if he really did/does or not, but in the video clip of the supposed shocking, it looks to me like Kaya (his dog) stubbed her foot on her platform during the moment she yelped.

i think it’s more of a tell that we are literally educated to serve the USian market, not necessarily means that our countries are americanized or westernized.

Here in the Philippines, it’s both😭

When I was in Elementary, our schools had an English-Only Policy where speaking our national language (Tagalog) outside of Filipino classes was penalized. We also have an entire market for overseas work (OFWs or Overseas Filipino Workers)

I’ve also heard that sites like YouTube will implement AI systems to estimate users’ ages based on the content they view, and apply restrictions accordingly, such as blocking the viewing of videos deemed problematic, and an ID will be needed to prevent these restrictions. But considering that the majority of YouTube’s “kid’s content” is either brainrot or ElsaGate content, this will more likely be used to silence opposition, such as coverage on Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

I have just watched Takopi’s Original Sin and it’s some really heavy stuff. It sheds light on some very real issues in today’s society such as bullying, domestic abuse, suicide, etc., and how unfair conditions can lead to such behaviors. However, the ending feels a bit… Libby, for lack of a better term? (Spoilers ahead)
