Wala matitira if tama ang basa ko sa headline: “social media applications na kontrolado ng banyaga.”
Month: May 2024
Found another source ( https://mb.com.ph/2024/05/23/manila-solon-wants-tik-tok-banned-in-philippines-here-s-why ): regulate “foreign adversary controlled applications”. So TikTok lang nga ang primary target. Confusing ang post ng PTV.
This is way past my social battery bedtime. And this unnecessary socialization is making me unnecessarily cranky.
🎧 Kill City Blues (Sandman Slim, #5)
Finished reading Kill City Blues (Sandman Slim, #5) by Richard Kadrey
James Stark, aka Sandman Slim, has managed to get out of Hell, renounce his title as the new Lucifer, and settle back into life in LA. But he’s not out of trouble yet. Somewhere along the way he misplaced the Qomrama Om Ya, a weapon from the banished older gods who are also searching for their lost power.
The hunt leads Stark to an abandoned shopping mall-a multi-story copy of LA-infested with Lurkers and wretched bottomfeeding Sub Rosa families, squatters who have formed tight tribes to guard their tiny patches of this fake LA. Somewhere in the kill zone of the former mall is a dead man with the answers Stark needs. All Stark has to do is find the dead man, get back out alive, and outrun some angry old gods-and a few killers-on his tail.

Luh. Where were you?
I need my alone time before bed, but I don’t have any privacy here.

A few years ago, I came across this #Esquire #Philippines article about #Mars craters named after Philippine towns: https://www.esquiremag.ph/long-reads/features/mars-craters-named-after-philippine-towns-a00289-20210223 I wondered if these craters are in #Wikidata and have the correct P138 (named after) property set so after writing the following #SPARQL query, I found out that all six craters are already in Wikidata as expected, but only two had their etymology indicated. Naturally, I completed them! https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20%3Fcrater%20%3FcraterLabel%20%3FcraterDescription%20%3Fplace%20%3FplaceLabel%20%3FplaceDescription%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22en%22.%20%7D%0A%20%20%3Fcrater%20wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ1475691%20.%20%20%23%20crater%20--%3E%20instance%20of%20--%3E%20Mars%20crater%20%0A%20%20%3Fcrater%20wdt%3AP138%20%3Fplace%20.%20%20%20%20%20%20%23%20crater%20--%3E%20named%20after%20--%3E%20place%0A%20%20%3Fplace%20wdt%3AP17%20wd%3AQ928%20.%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%23%20place%20--%3E%20country%20--%3E%20Philippines%0A%7D%0A #astronomy #etymology
