The truth can sting.
[All the people who voted for Lindsay's sister refused to vote for Kamala because she was inexperienced.]
The irony is lost on the low information voter.

CW: CW: ableist slurs, ableism
Just encountered another specimen of the “old white German man who thinks his vocabulary is a constitutional right” variety.
He was using “disabled” as an insult. Not accidentally. Not metaphorically in some obscure linguistic sense. Deliberately, to describe people he considers stupid, irrational, or “not quite right in the head.”
And when challenged?
Apparently, “disabled” is simply a synonym for people who "aren't quite clear in the head" (his words, not mine).
What a fascinating little piece of linguistic archaeology. Somewhere between 1950s institutionalisation and the village pub, apparently.
No, darling.
Disabled people are not a metaphor for stupidity. They are not a convenient category of human beings whose existence gives you a handy vocabulary for calling someone an idiot. And your personal decision to use an ableist slur does not magically turn it into a neutral dictionary definition.
Then, naturally, came the wounded dignity:
We should stop criticising him. We're annoying him.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Were we interrupting your little linguistic tradition of punching down?
How terribly inconvenient that the people you are casually degrading have developed the audacity to answer back.
This is the part where I am apparently supposed to be polite and explain, very gently, that perhaps we shouldn't use language that treats disabled people as synonymous with being defective.
No.
Fuck that.
If your vocabulary depends on treating an entire group of people as shorthand for “stupid,” your vocabulary is the thing that needs fixing.
And if being told that makes you uncomfortable, perhaps sit with that discomfort for a while.
It won't hurt you.
Being treated as though your feelings matter more than the dignity of the people you just insulted, however, might be a habit worth breaking.
We are not going to make ourselves smaller so you can remain comfortable in your prejudices.
You can update your language.
You can apologise.
Or you can continue being offended that the twenty-first century has arrived without asking your permission.
But please don't mistake our refusal to shut up for rudeness.
It is accountability.
And yes, we will keep "annoying" you.
Apparently someone has to.

En lisant les articles ( https://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2026/08/04/jen-suis-estomaque-deux-drapeaux-de-la-fierte-vandalises-en-une-semaine-a-val-david ) et ( https://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2026/08/07/drapeau-de-la-fierte-vandalise-de-nouveau-a-val-david-jetais-vraiment-decu-lance-le-maire ) concernant le fait que plusieurs drapeaux de la Fierté ont été vandalisés à Val-David en l’espace de quelques semaines, je me suis posé une question.
Pourquoi un simple morceau de tissu dérange-t-il autant?
Après tout, un drapeau n’a rien de menaçant.
Il ne retire aucun droit à personne.
Il n’oblige personne à penser autrement.
Il dit simplement une chose: « Vous avez votre place ici. »
Et c’est précisément ce message qui semble insupportable à certaines personnes.
Lorsqu’un drapeau de la Fierté est brûlé, déchiré ou découpé, ce n’est pas le tissu qui est attaqué.
C’est l’idée qu’une personne puisse vivre librement, aimer librement et être accueillie sans avoir à cacher qui elle est.
C’est aussi un message envoyé à toute une communauté: « Vous n’êtes pas les bienvenus. »
Je refuse ce message!
Les droits des personnes LGBTQ+ ne retirent absolument rien aux autres.
Ils élargissent simplement le cercle de celles et ceux qui peuvent vivre dans la dignité.
Je pense souvent que le courage ne consiste pas seulement à dénoncer la haine lorsqu’elle éclate.
Il consiste aussi à continuer d’afficher des symboles d’ouverture malgré cette haine. À continuer de dire à une personne qui se sent différente: « Tu n’es pas seule. Tu as ta place parmi nous! »
La solidarité ne consiste pas seulement à défendre les personnes lorsqu’elles sont populaires.
Elle consiste surtout à rester à leurs côtés lorsqu’elles deviennent la cible de l’intimidation, de la haine ou de la peur.
Un drapeau ne changera pas le monde à lui seul.
Mais il peut changer la journée d’une personne qui croyait ne plus avoir sa place.
C’est exactement comme cela que les sociétés deviennent un peu plus humaines.
Les échanges respectueux sont toujours les bienvenus. N’hésitez pas à partager votre réflexion dans les commentaires et à diffuser cette publication si vous pensez qu’elle mérite d’être lue.

Estas dos guías de la #UCM son interesantes (en la de diversidad e inclusión veo puntos mejorables en lo que a lenguaje no sexista se refiere, en los ejemplos, pero son recursos interesantes):

What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 150
Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.
Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?
I recommend you check out the following videos I found.
#1 You, Me and the Movies React to Cloak & Dagger (1984) – As some of you readers might know already, I enjoyed the 1984 movie Cloak & Dagger (starring Henry Thomas) and I also liked playing the arcade game that appeared in it as a fictional Atari 5200 game. When it comes to retro gaming, the film strongly resonates with gamers who were old enough to have seen it and played games related with Atari on console and arcades in the 1980s. As such, it is not surprising to see that there are pretty few movie reaction videos of Cloak & Dagger on YouTube. To my personal delight, You, Me and the Movies posted a reaction video of the film and it is entertaining to watch!
https://youtu.be/O7mAIC4nVRg?si=DBgTYmg9yZztUCDO
#2 Minty Comedic Arts’ Exclusive Interview with Superboy TV star Gerard Christopher – If you were old enough to have seen the live-action Superboy series on TV a long time ago, you would remember that actor Gerard Christopher replaced John Newton as the star. Recently, Minty Comedic Arts posted his exclusive interview with Christopher (who played Superboy in over 70 episodes) and it is not just fun to watch but also surprising and insightful. At the same time, there is a lot to learn and discover from what Gerard Christopher revealed. That said, I encourage you to watch the video below.
https://youtu.be/lG0O5hsPNso?si=GZKJXCIRfTtt5o7S
#3 Yakisoba in Aichi Prefecture, Japan – I enjoy the taste of Yakisoba which is Japanese noodle stir-fried dish and it is often available in Japanese restaurants in the land of the rising sun as well in other parts of the world. In Aichi Prefecture, there is a family-owned restaurant that specializes in yakisoba. The dedicated cooking, careful processes and sound business management the food joint achieved resulted in a loyal customer base. There is a lot to learn and enjoy from the video below.
https://youtu.be/7ci-UXm0mgQ?si=F9w-qcbusnhWSteg
#4 Street Fighter II Is Unfair to Gamers? – Here is something that must be seen. Remember how intensely popular Street Fighter II and its updated versions were back in the 1990s? The original arcade game of Street Fighter II revolutionized fighting games and turned it into a wildly popular genre for both gamers and game companies. Still, there is something about the artificial intelligence (AI) in Street Fighter II that makes it “cheat” which resulted in a lot of frustrating experiences for those who played it. Did Capcom’s game developers deliberately set something up? Watch and learn from the video below.
https://youtu.be/_Roe54EGW08?si=Sw8ZcyQa2nAQhao9
#5 The Death of Criticism with Spider-Man: Brand New Day – Let me ask you this…if the so-called professional movie critics and online influencers unanimously give high praise to a big-budget movie designed to make a lot of money, do you let the critical acclaim influence you into watching it and adjusting your personal standards on judging new movies? In his recent video, Ranting for Vengeance shared a warning about the death of criticism over Spider-Man: Brand New Day which opened with massive commercial success backed with acclaim from the media and a variety of personalities online. By today’s standards, there are many millions of people who got oriented with Spider-Man without ever reading the classic comic books, and there are those who use Spider-Man movies as their main references. What is telling, however, is how some people lowered their standards on judging new movies as a whole. To learn more, watch Ranting with Vengeance’s video below and pay attention to the details.
https://youtu.be/ZHaMy-sX_OA?si=yphvAh4QI0F4AHWj
#6 Assorted Casino (1995) Reaction Videos – I missed out on Martin Scorsese’s 1995 film Casino during its theatrical run and I saw it on home video some years later. Loosely based on real-life events that happened in Las Vegas, the movie was very good with its presentation and the stylized approach on explaining the details regarding casinos and related businesses controlled by criminals. As such, it is not surprising that a lot of movie reaction videos of it were posted on YouTube and I found the most entertaining ones among them for you all to enjoy.

#7 Game Developers Who Went Woke And Ruined The Gaming Industry – I have been playing video games since I was a little boy. This current console gaming generation has been very disappointing and I can say that it is very disgusting that state of gaming deteriorated a lot over the past several years as many game developers hired Leftist activists (the woke, transgendered, social justice warriors, LGBTQ extremists, rabid feminists, racist minority members and other undesirable people) and let them make new video games that reflected their ugly agenda. Very recently, the very woke Halo Studios got away with ruining Halo with the release of Halo: Campaign Evolved. The wokeness of gaming started many years ago and its disease grew a lot through the years. As such, the woke and Leftists working in video games clearly do not care about making video games fun and they do not care about gamers in general. To understand the wokeness and the Satanic Left’s agenda through gaming, watch the video below.
https://youtu.be/9ZnqX3py76I?si=FX81igPTy7-Y45Nv
#8 Tempura Onigiri and More in Japan – Recently in Japan, a new form of onigiri with tempura was released and it is gaining popularity with customers. Not only that, newer types of onigiri were being offered to customers as a result of unpredictable market forces, experimentation and the changing tastes of the customers. There is a lot to discover in the Nippon TV, and it just make you crave for onigiri.

Vietnam Attracts 416,000 Visitors From The Philippines During First 7 Months Of 2026
Among the fourteen million foreign tourists Vietnam attracted during the first seven months of 2026 are visitors from the Philippines totaling 416,000, according to report by VnExpress. The authorities have described the Philippines as having the biggest increase among Southeast Asian markets.
The 416,000 of Philippine visitors is significant as there were over 480,000 Filipinos who visited Vietnam in the entire year of 2025. It is recalled that Filipino interest in visiting Vietnam has been strong and the governments of the two nations agreed to cooperate on tourism and air connectivity. As a tourist destination, the Philippines has been very weak attracting only 5.94 foreign tourists in 2025. Vietnam attracted over 21 million foreign tourists that same year.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…
The number of visitors from the Philippines to Vietnam jumped 63.6% year-on-year between January and July to 416,000, the biggest increase among Southeast Asian markets.
In the region, there were huge increases also in the number of arrivals from Cambodia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. They increased by 40.8%, 31%, 27.3%, and 21.6%, according to the General Statistics Office.
The tourism industry attributed the jump in the number of visitors from Southeast Asia to a rapidly expanding flight network and growing demand for intra-regional travel.
Indonesia AirAsia launched a direct flight connecting Bali (Denpasar) and Da Nang on March 20 while Vietjet launched a direct route connecting Da Nang and Jakarta on April 29.
In March, Philippines AirAsia launched a new direct route linking Da Nang with Manila in the Philippines.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Considering the strong Filipino interest on visiting Vietnam, would you be surprised to see Vietnam attract 1,000,000 visitors from the Philippines by the end of this year? What do you think makes Vietnam a special travel destination for Filipinos?

Week 2 of building docs for #Rhizo and back to an old challenge I haven't thought about in a few years: how do you write about common software industry terms that may come across as insensitive or offensive to some people?
Example of the week: blind signature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_signature
The audience is part people familiar with cryptography, and part experienced software engineers who aren't as familiar with it but want to learn.
Defaulting to the industry standard makes sense because that's what everyone calls it, but it feels bad - suddenly it's "blind this, blinds the token, signs blindly," etc.
Using an alternative term (hidden, disguised, obfuscated) may also alienate the audience who expects to hear about, well, blind signatures.
This matters to us because the app itself is also supposed to be accessible to a wide range of people, so the docs should be an extension of that.
What's the best approach here?

Recently I learned about TouchMapper: Create tactile maps easily for any address.
They use #OpenStreetMap to create printable 3D models of an area, for people with no/bad vision to literally get a feel for the place.
I love the initiative!

13.9 Million Foreign Tourists Arrived In Vietnam During First 7 Months Of 2026
With tourism industry of Vietnam is undeniably growing rapidly as almost fourteen million foreign tourists arrived there during the first seven months of 2026, according to report by VnExpress.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…
Vietnam welcomed 13.9 million international arrivals during the first seven months this year, up 13.8% from a year earlier, as the country’s image as a safe and stable destination continued to attract travelers amid geopolitical tensions worldwide.
In July alone, the number of foreign visitors to Vietnam reached 1.67 million, down 0.7% year-on-year, according to the General Statistics Office (GSO).
Mainland China remained the largest source of visitors so far this year with 3.08 million, followed by South Korea with 2.38 million.
The rest of the top 10 were Russia, Taiwan, the U.S., Cambodia, India, Japan, the Phillippines and Australia.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Considering how many foreign tourists it attracted so far this year, do you think Vietnam will eventually hit 24 million foreign tourist arrivals by the end of 2026? Do you think the new Long Thanh International Airport will somehow help attract a large number of overseas travelers once it starts operating this December?

Trump Signs Executive Orders Ending Birth Tourism And Protecting The Value Of American Citizenship
Following the unfortunate decision made the by Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) regarding birthright citizenship, US President Donald J. Trump signed two new Executive Orders to formally end birth tourism while also protecting the meaning and value of American citizenship.
To put things in perspective, posted below is the News24 (formerly Sky News Australia) video covering the Oval Office. Watch it and pay close attention to the details.
https://youtu.be/YC3PrTABmic?si=qLGS_xhbDUE99gcD&t=239
In America, birth tourism is already a huge problem that has yet to be full resolved. If it is left unchecked, it will negatively impact and even deform democracy in the US. That said, President Trump signed the Executive Order ending birth tourism. To understand it fully, posted below is the entire content of the said Executive Order sourced from the White House website. Some parts in boldface…
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose. United States citizenship is among the greatest inheritances the Nation can bestow. It embodies a sacred bond between the American people and the Nation in which they live, and carries profound rights, privileges, and responsibilities reflective of the enduring allegiance of citizens to the United States and our Constitution. Citizenship is not a commodity to be acquired through calculated exploitation and evasion of the immigration laws, such as by entering the United States on a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth within the Nation’s borders.
Birth tourism operators use deceptive advertisements and inducements to entice foreign nationals to travel to the United States for the purpose of giving birth on American soil. They promise citizenship; access to public benefits; and short-term stays in specialized facilities, hotels, or rentals, but often fail to deliver on these promises. These operators coach their clients to misrepresent the purpose and duration of their travel to consular and border officials to obtain visas authorizing entry into the United States. Failure to appropriately combat these schemes has resulted in thriving industries around the world that profit by enabling the evasion of American immigration laws to obtain citizenship and other immigration benefits for foreign visitors, and the exploitation of the women who travel here for purposes of giving birth.
The immigration laws of the United States establish discrete categories of temporary nonimmigrant visas to allow foreign visitors into the United States for study, exchange, temporary employment, tourism, and other transitory activities that are now exploited by birth tourism operators. Participants in birth tourism schemes abuse these categories to establish a permanent foothold in the United States by securing the advantage of citizenship for their children and then potentially for themselves.
Birth tourism, defined in section 3 of this order, undermines the integrity of the Nation’s immigration system by enabling foreign nationals to exploit their temporary admission to obtain permanent immigration-related benefits. Birth tourism also diverts limited consular inspection and enforcement resources away from legitimate visa applicants, erodes public confidence in the faithful enforcement of the immigration laws, and impairs the executive branch’s ability to protect the national security.
The United States has a compelling interest in ensuring that each visa category is used only for the purpose for which it was established. Foreign nationals seeking temporary admission into the United States must adhere to the purposes for which the Congress has authorized their temporary admission, and cannot be permitted to circumvent the immigration laws in an attempt to vest themselves and their children with lasting benefits that are irreconcilable with their nonimmigrant status.
It is therefore the policy of the United States to promote the integrity of its immigration system, to ensure that nonimmigrant visa classifications are used only for their lawful and intended purposes, and to prevent the exploitation of those classifications by persons engaging in birth tourism.
Sec. 2. Authorities. Pursuant to section 301 of title 3, United States Code, the authority granted to the President under section 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1185(a), is hereby delegated to the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to the extent necessary to implement this order, including the authority to issue or adopt rules, policies, operational guidance, or other guidance to carry out this order.
Sec. 3. Definition. For purposes of this order, “birth tourism” is defined as:
(a) the entry of any foreign national into the United States via a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on American soil; or
(b) any effort by any foreign national to facilitate the entry of any foreign national into the United States via a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on American soil.
Sec. 4. Scope and Implementation. (a) The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take such actions and update any rules, policies, operational guidance, or other guidance as necessary to effectuate the policy set forth in this order. Such actions may include, within the Secretaries’ respective discretion and authority, appropriate action to prevent the entry into the United States of, or the granting of any visa or other travel authorization to, any alien entering or attempting to enter the United States for the purpose of engaging in birth tourism; revoking the visa or travel authorization and permanently barring entry of any alien who enters or attempts to enter the United States for the purpose of engaging in birth tourism; denial of entry to, or removal of, any alien who previously engaged or plans to engage in birth tourism; or other appropriate action against entities, organizations, or individuals, within or outside of the United States, responsible for facilitating or enabling birth tourism in any manner.
(b) All other relevant executive departments and agencies shall provide such records and information as are necessary for the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to implement the terms of this order and the rules, policies, operational guidance, or other guidance issued pursuant to it, subject to applicable law.
Sec. 5. Exemptions. Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by this order, the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Homeland Security may exempt a foreign national from actions taken pursuant to this order on humanitarian grounds or when the foreign national’s entry is in the national interest, as determined by the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
(d) If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstances, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of any of its other provisions to any other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
(e) The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Department of Homeland Security.

Do you think the two new Executive Orders signed by Trump will effectively end birth tourism while protecting the value of American citizenship? What kind of responses do you think the Democrats will come up with to oppose the Executive Orders. Do you think Islamist states like Iran, Pakistan, Qatar and Bangladesh are deliberately sending their citizens to America with birth tourism in mind? Did you spot any Chinese nationals engaging in birth tourism in America lately?

13.9 Million Foreign Tourists Arrived In Vietnam During First 7 Months Of 2026

Let me say this: now that Matt Mullenweg has explicitly declared he doesn't really care about WordPress accessibility, I'm exploring alternatives. I have PureBlog and Eleventy currently in hand; Ghost is potent but its accessibility is very, very poor. My strong fear on switching to another platform, however, is one: there are less and less skilled people on CSS code. Most are used to point-and-click palettes, and I could code but due to my blindness I have no feedbacks on how my pages appear so I have a need for sighted assistance to customize CSS.
What the hell should I do?

• Backward Walking — Retraining gait mechanics and improving spatial awareness.
• Slam‑to‑Agility Combo — Moving from explosive power into precise footwork.
• Cone Pivots — Practicing turns and directional changes for real‑world balance.Age is just a number.💪🏾
