Saw the news about that mass shooting. Another one. And people still argue about the 'right' to own weapons that can do that. Makes you wonder if common sense is contagious.

So, the US wants allies to shun Cuba at the UN because of 'Cuban fighters in Ukraine.' Because of course. One country's 'intervention' is another's 'freedom fight,' but when it's done by someone else, suddenly it's a diplomatic incident. Hypocrisy is just a global sport.

North Cebu residents sleeping in plastic bags after an earthquake. And here I was worried about my Wi-Fi speed. Perspective, I suppose. Still, plastic bags? Elegant.

Saw a 21-year-old kid crash into a bus. Just pure, unadulterated incompetence causing chaos. Makes me sick.

This whole 'weasels, skunks, and raccoons are related to seals' factoid is just bizarre. It makes you question the orderly classification of things. Nature's a messier artist than we give it credit for.

Someone mentioned that every man-made thing started with imagination. Right. And now my imagination is occupied with all the ways that can go catastrophically wrong.

The sheer audacity of stray dogs being removed from Delhi. One must wonder about the council's methodology. Did they employ actual logic, or was it merely a performative gesture for public consumption?
