Big news on this side of the Pacific: our VP who has been accused of massive corruption (very credibly) has been officially impeached. She is the daughter of former strongman and populist president Rodrigo Duterte.

This is a novella.

But if you read it you’ll understand everything you need to know about what Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg are doing right now. I’m a biographer of the first two men, and have chronicled here exactly how and why the third is following their lead.

Again—a long read.

Dear Bluesky algorithm: these are who I want to connect to 👇 NOT OF bots please thank you

I think recent events are telling us that public squares should not be owned by billionaire man-childs. After years of telling others to not rely on it, it seems like the last reliable community resource we have right now is...Wikipedia.

Filipino X/Threads refugee here looking to connect with fellow bike commuters, urban mobility advocates, Swifties, and third-place enjoyers! Would love to see some street photographers, too. May the Bluesky algorithm bring you all to me 📷 🚲 🙌

Reviving this account because I can’t stand what’s happening with Meta recently. Thought I could deal with Threads but Mosseri welcoming a known wife-beater on their board is just plain disgusting.

Never imagined that I’ll see multiple UPMBT championships in my lifetime 😂 Congrats UP! 🙌 #UPFight

Woken up by this notification very early at dawn on Monday but paid no attention to it. Come morning I developed a fever, a bad sinus infection, and a massive headache. I guess in my case, it’s true that the AW may be able to predict irregularities in your vitals before the sickness kicks in

Took this picture earlier. Aside from the ugly swath of parking spaces, this space actually looks nice. Manila’s blue skies really hit different during Amihan season ❤️

good for him! work-life balance is so important

I love how beautiful the sky was earlier today after 4 typhoons hit us in about a week. I hope it stays this way until the new year.

And they are orders of magnitude stronger than the ones we used to have #PepitoPH

I really wish Threads had the algorithm of this app because it feels so much like that cursed and dead blue app without the basement-dwellers. I like Threads but I hate seeing 2 day old posts or a barrage of posts about a certain topic just because I liked one post about it 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ay in fairness, this looks and feels a lot more familiar than Threads. Let’s see how this pans out but if there are other Filipino users here, let’s connect! In the meantime I will probably spend most of my time at Threads where you can follow me also -> @boomquina
