It should’ve been enough for her to say that solo traveling isn’t her cup of tea, but then she had the gall to comment, “parang ang lungkot” (“it’s so sad”), and assume “grabe yung pinagdadaanan talaga siguro nila” (“they [solo travelers] must be going through some very tough times”). 😠

I came across this #Reddit family drama from one of those narration YouTube videos and reading all of the original posts spanning several months was pretty bonkers! I don’t care if the story was an exercise in creative fiction or actually real because I was totally entertained. 😅

Given that I watched this video through a non-OLED mobile phone screen, I'm still mesmerized by the vibrant and brilliant colors of the pastel sticks shown in this video, especially the blue and purple ones. 😍

No visit to #KotaKinabalu will be complete without paying a visit to a local office of the Philippine Cultural Ministry. 😂

I wonder how crazy it would be if the aurora borealis (or australis) would become visible in the tropics. 🤔

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that Sabah also has a bamboo pole dance similar to the Philippines' Tinikling or Singkil. This one is called Magunatip.

I think I'm starting to have way too many tote bags at this point.

I bet that a lot of people in the Fediverse already know this very pretty pencil-based 3D art. But in case you haven’t, be prepared to marvel.

This sculpture is known as the hexastix and a variant series created by artist George Hart is titled 72 Pencils.

If you can get 72 unsharpened hexagonal pencils, and some flat rubber bands, you can attempt to create this. Search for a video by @standupmaths for a pseudo-tutorial.

I’ve been watching a few travel vlog videos on YouTube and because of my #OpenStreetMap compulsive behavior, I’ve been using these videos as street-level imagery sources to update POIs on the map. 😅

I thought I have too many browser tabs across my three devices, but 7000+? That's some extreme levels of digital hoarding. 😱

It sounds obvious in hindsight but some #philosophy researchers did a study analyzing the hundreds of thousands of posts and millions of comments in the popular subreddit r/AmItheAsshole.

Beautiful lyrics from #DavidArchuleta’s new single.

If I have to live without you
I don’t wanna live forever
In someone else's heaven
So let ’em close the gates
Oh, if they don’t like the way you’re made
Then they’re not any better
If paradise is pressure
Oh, we’ll go to hell together

Just seen #ColinJost’s monologue at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and while the SNL writer did a decent job while not being a stand-up comedian, I still think #TrevorNoah’s turn two years ago was the best.

I've submitted another application for @NGIZero grant for @everydoor. I'm at a point when working a regular job feels like a loss to myself, OSM and OSS world. Looking for funding to focus on my multiple geo-related projects, but that's near impossible. As Guillaume told me at the last SotM, hiring me for what I do is impossible to justify. Mostly because it's not a single super-useful project. Like xz. So... you know, I keep writing good stuff on 4 hours a week I got.
