I'm drowning in CDramas! It's both a blessing and a curse, especially when I'm so busy at work and with adulting.
Dramas covered in this issue include #PursuitofJade, Swords into Plowshares, Seeds of Scarlet Longing, How Dare You?!, Generation to Generation and more. -
Empires rise, empires fall. But when the veneer of civilization cracks, how do we hold onto our humanity?
Watching Swords into Plowshares feels less like entertainment and more like a warning. We seem trapped in the same historical loops, hoping this time the chaos resolves faster.
The characters in Swords into Plowshares whisper for Tài Píng Nián—"Peaceful Years." It's a wish that echoes loudly today.

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone, but I've been back to X because I wanted to get live updates on a certain war in the Middle East, and I now firmly believe that a large percentage of the people there are absolute idiots with an IQ level below room temperature.
If I see another "Grok is this true?" Or "Grok what does this mean?" I am going to throw the entire alphabet at everyone.

What this veteran did rippled even to China, with many admiring him for his courage and steadfastness.
His actions will ripple throughout the US army. It will probably only sow seeds of doubt, but I believe his actions will give US soldiers courage.
These are the protests that matter.
As much as I complain about the US people for their ignorance of the world, I have always admired how they could speak up against their own government and fight for truth. These people are few in any civilisation, but in the US they are courageous for truth.
(It's a double edged sword however, but that's a topic for another day.)

CW: Racist comment by Kim Iversen
Every year there's some stupid spat about Chinese New Year vs Lunar New Year. I understand the context of why China Chinese are so defensive about our new year being called Lunar New Year. I mean how would you like it if some other nation decided to rename your celebration to something more "acceptable" or "inclusive". Also, lunar new year isn't exactly accurate. If anything that should belong to the Islamic celebration of Eid.
Anyhoo, most Malaysians don't mind if you say Lunar New Year, but we've generally said Chinese New Year. After all even our officials say "Tahun Baru Cina" in their official greetings, which means, you guessed it Chinese New Year.
So when this became a big deal on Chinese social media I could only sigh. Like, can we fight about something else?
But because of what this Kim Iversen said, now I want to roll up my sleeves and side with China 🤪
Wtf, all Asians hate the Chinese? I have besties who are Indians, Malay and other races. They kinda like me as far as I can tell. Heck some of them even marry Chinese, ya know?
Apani logic??
Yet she's defending what she said in the comments?
Has she lost her marbles??
People take what she says seriously as a media figure?

How we Malaysians weaponise our multilingual abilities

Why is Americano called an Americano? Should Malaysians call their black coffee Malaysiancano? And why is this coffee called a Vienna? Is there a London coffee or a Beijing? 😆

Harvested some veges this morning. Can't decide if I should have this for breakfast or lunch.

A long read about Three Body adaptations and the original work but worth it.
Anna made me realise something. One reason why the Netflix version failed (for me and those who enjoyed the original work) was that they didn't take the opportunity to use the same framework and create a commentary on US/European society.
I would've really loved to watch that!!
Instead, we got a clumsy photostat of the original, which fed into the current geopolitical commentary about China....which loses the point of the original story to begin with.

"If a reader finds one indie blog they love, they might find more on the blogroll. Blogrolls are the IndieWeb’s version of an algorithm. They keep people exploring new blogs that they probably wouldn’t have found otherwise."
