When Trump watches Les Mis and he hears "Do you hear the people sing?" does he skip to the "angry men" part of the song?
An ask esp for politicians: please do not use the Filipino community's grief for your campaign or political agenda. I know tomorrow is voting day but it's barely been 24 hrs. We appreciate expressions of solidarity and support, but we also need the time and space to grieve & make sense of all this.
To folks who want to help after the horrifying event at the lapulapu festival, here's a form: vanfilemergency.my.canva.site
For this week's tutorials in my games class, I'm going to ask my TA to run the Sims 4 homeless challenge with this sim. My students will have a lot of fun with unhoused "Elon Husk." 😆 #sorrynotsorry
Definitely. If we could also get the Marcoses tried too, that would be perfect! But for now, this is progress.
Me too!
It's a good day when one hears about Rodrigo Duterte being arrested.
When one delivers a lecture on propaganda in one's Intro to Communication Studies class and political ads keep popping up on one's embedded online videos. Ppt just had to block me from clicking the skip button. Hilariously, this actually helped drive my point about the TOTAL part of propaganda.
There should be an award for best campus snowpeople ❄️ ⛄️ #sfu
Snow day in Metro Van! ❄️
When your phone's AI brief tells you to "enjoy a restful and peaceful night" but puts tariff news on the same page. Yeah, I don't think it understands what "restful" means...
So I guess instead the 2025 lunar new year would go something like, "Hope you don't have to declare bankruptcy this year?" Gotta workshop this. (2/2)
How should one carefully phrase one's lunar new year greetings and wishes this year esp. with incoming tariffs and a recession? Because wishing someone to get rich as per the usual standard greeting right now would sound and feel a little weird. (1/2)
CARTOON OF THE DAY
Trump's jokes on annexing Canada are especially not funny as a Filipina living in Canada. America occupied the Philippines in 1899 and that resulted in the Philippine-American war. Please, America. Not this again.
Because it was review bombed, I almost did not see LOTR: War of the Rohirrim. I'm glad I did because it was actually good. Not perfect, but good. Even as a fantasy film, it's an interesting take on how women's stories tend to get erased in favor of "great men." I'm happy I saw it.
oh sorry. I'll go for the old Final Fantasy 1-9. I'll go with 9 but that's a bias. If you want one with dating elements and a Japanese playstation, I'll go with Angelique Requiem. It's like a pink version of FF6. Has voice in cutscenes but most of it hasnt
Watching Pulang Araw, I notice that the opening montage features Ben&Ben's Kapangyarihan. People should also remember that this song was written in protest to extrajudicial killings in the Duterte regime not too long ago. www.nme.com/news/music/b...
In comparison to Doctolero's previous series, Maria Clara at Ibarra, this feels a lot more personal. And I love the early episodes of it so far because of that. And it helps that Epy Quizon is paying tribute to his father (Dolphey) who apparently was also a vaudeville performer. (2/2)
GMA's Pulang Araw (Red Sun) made me read about Filipino vaudeville or bodabil because several of the main characters are bodabil performers in the Second World War. Apparently, these were based on the stories of Suzette Doctolero's (the head writer) grandparents who were vaudeville performers. (1/2)
Thank you so much for these lists! Can I be added to the second one as well?
BG3 is an obvious choice. But before that, my all time fav was Dragon Age Origins. Persona 5 for a turn based rpg. The Mass Effect series for a shooter rpg. Kotor 2 with mods is my favorite star wars rpg.
Thank you! It's lovely to meet you here rin!
Thanks for making this! Can you add me?
not David Bowie too...
I ended up singing an impromptu "Everything I Do I Do It For You". And it's the first time the class erupted in an applause like I just did a successful American Idol audition. If it helps them remember some points in class though, sure I'll bring more of my karaoke experience in class. (3/3)
The example I could think of was Bryan Adams' contribution to the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves soundtrack. As soon as I gave that example, I just got stares and nonverbal "who is that?" looks (yup, moments like these make me feel old). And some of the videos I meant to play were not working. (2/3)
Today at CMNS 110 (Intro to Communication Studies) is the day that I get to use years of karaokeing for teaching. It's culture and creative industries week. We had a bit when we were discussing CRTC in the 1990s and conversations on "Canadian content." (1/3)
Yes! That would be amazing. All of the previous 3 titles had them so I know Veilguard definitely will have them. Skyrim had a multiple marriages mod. Sims 4 has a mod that turns off jealousy allowing poly families.
