Glad that someone informed me that my side project https://busrouter.sg is featured on CNA Insider's Singapore Hour "The Unseen Side of Singapore’s Bus System", under the chapter "Woodlands Bus Depot: The Eyes and Ears of Singapore’s Bus System" (04:08) https://youtu.be/_BURy2_mGZM?t=248&feature=shared
Pretty cool. #Singapore
Very good web storytelling about the hawker centre signage and typography in Singapore
https://www.straitstimes.com/multimedia/graphics/2025/09/singapore-hawker-signs/index.html
A few brave Singaporeans unfurled this banner in front of the iconic Marina Bay Sands, in a country where any public protest is illegal without prior approval and approved protests are only allowed at one park (and the authorities already said all registered protest applications relating to Gaza will be denied)
If they were foreigners they would almost certainly be deported. As citizens they’ll definitely see some legal action

As a queer person, I sometimes think about cis straight people I know back home (Singapore) who truly think I had no reason to leave home. Even though my country doesn't recognize my marriage, even though there are no immigration benefits that accrue to my foreign same sex spouse, even though there are no anti-discrimination laws that exist to protect me, they think, I can still have a pretty good life as an out queer person. I can have money, and no one is actively wanting to beat me up or hurt me.
That's the problem.
The problem isn't the bigots (because at least I know what to expect), it's the people who think they are not bigots, who believe that I should be thankful and grateful because 'at least nobody is going to beat me up'.
Nobody will beat me up because I have middle class Chinese and cis privilege in that society. It's not the same for other people. It's not because I am accepted or tolerated. Also, that is a tremendously low bar. I expect more of my life. I expect to thrive, not just be grateful to survive.

Does anyone know of some #普通话 (#Mandarin #Chinese) #mastodon servers?
From #Taiwan, #Singapore or even the #PRC?
I'm sick of just hearing from "#theWest". I want to hear from #theRest (the 88%).

"Miksic was committed to archaeology to the end, and continued to read and write until the last weeks of his life. His legacy is not just in what he unearthed, but in how he transformed Singapore’s historical consciousness, proving that archaeology could speak powerfully in forging a national identity."

A Waymo robotaxi #struck a #child near an elementary school in Santa Monica on January 23, according to the company. Waymo told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that the child — whose age and identity are not currently public — sustained minor injuries.
The NHTSA has opened an investigation into the accident, and Waymo said in a blog post that it “will cooperate fully with them throughout the process.” The National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday afternoon that it has also opened an investigation in coordination with the Santa Monica Police Department.
#BONUS: 🇺🇸 APP'S & #APP_STORES ARE #MALICOUS #TRACKING_DEVICES 🔥 👹 SEE BELOW..
Again, 📞 Mobile technology was already available in its 🍼 infantile stages back in 2000 | But what wasn't available was 🎯 #free_traffic (web site #exposure)
👢 #Bootstrap is a basic MOBILE PHONE menu system that wraps itself around your existing HTML web site, nothing more.. >> lil scaled down versions of web sites until app store realized THEY could #inject their own #malicious #SPYWARE (converts your mobile phone into a tracking device – SCRAPING (ip theft) your #INTELLECTUAL_PROPERTY (IP) #INVENTION?? etc. etc.
🤑 #usd_subsidies up the ying yang = #Forced and #Manipulated #ON-BOARDING.
🚔 Hello anyone home? ILLEGAL SHERMAN ANTITRUST ACT VIOLATIONS NEVER ENFORCED.
Section 2 is a Felony.
🚔 In the same way #Amazon owns #no_hardware OR Software for that matter as #AWS, #FBA, #Amazon All Piggy Backs off of #ORACLES HARDWARE AND ILLEGAL STOLEN SOFTWARE bc #bezos IS ACTUALLY #BRAINDEAD!
🚔 Amazon runs on a SIMPLE #SHOPPING_CART_SCRIPT worth not more than a package of cigarettes (a trusted #centralized company? We think not!) >> #IDENTITY_AND_MEDICAL_RECORD_THEFT on #steriods!
🎯 But what wasn't available was #free_traffic to launch these lil scaled down version of sites and other #malicious_programs (Called #Software_Applications via #Surveillance_APP_STORES?) that did a lot more than just provide basic site functions AND #GRANULAR #WEBSITE_TRAFFIC.
🧲 They are magnets for third-party illegal cookie attacks. Collecting membership info unknowingly for years.. They are #third_party #software_applications (BACK DOORS) running ON TOP of your website application #BEHIND_THE_SCENES collecting YOUR DATA!! (Think Bitcoin lightening network #BYPASS #TUNNEL added after the fact.. aka Patch = #open_backdoor)
🚔 #ILLEGAL_FRAUD UP THE YING YANG; 💩 but still everyone is in the App Store as if it is some sort of #authority??, #credibility?? or #validation?? of online existence. It's neither. Also Think #NSA and/or #CIA and #PRISM Program and you will start seeing the #scope of #theft and USA GOVERNMENT FRAUD!
And btw since we are founders of #SEO (Search Engine Optimization) why would we need an app store?? We build all our own traffic inhouse to the tune of $180,000.00 USD #NET per #MONTH!??
Stay Tuned for #TASTINGTRAFFIC' upcoming Launch!
* No App Download needed or *required.
* Best of All Zero (0) Third-Party Data Collection!
* We can adapt to ANY mobile device -out the box (any phone). And best of all DATA is In-House PROTECTED without any Third Party Connections.

Basically every political party that said ‘tariffs won’t really impact us / it’s no big deal / someone else will take care of that’ got their asses handed to them by Singapore voters, who are incredibly conscious of being from a place that is entirely about global trade. Ups and downs of global trade impact lives and jobs very quickly there.
It also sounds shocking out of touch and dismissive.
Trade is so important to us that even the aunties at the local coffee shop know the exchange rate of SGD to a few major world currencies.
Anyone who still believes our elections are only about domestic policies probably doesn’t believe it anymore.

If all goes well, #TimorLeste will officially join the #ASEAN as its 11th member.
For grassroots:
- 30 days visa-free entry across all 11 ASEAN members
-- you can reset it twice by crossing to another ASEAN member for at least 24 hours, so that's 90 days total
- more work opportunities for Timorians and the rest of ASEANs
- easy exchange student processing
- cultural exchanges
- ASEAN jokes and memes 😂
