Anna Anthro#Philippines declares national energy emergency as #US & #Israel war on #Iran blocks oil and creates price crisis
“Measures include fuel subsidies, hoarding prevention, faster energy project approvals, and a diesel buffer of 2 million barrels (S$427 million)
Rising fuel costs already caused transport strikes and flight suspensions; authorities prepare assistance, bracing for potentially prolonged inflation.”
Shine F.Completely forgot to post about this fantastic discovery: that JT's Manukan serves pinangat! It's a Bicolano dish made of fish (or shrimp) wrapped in taro leaves and cooked in coconut milk.
When I first tried this dish in Naga several years ago, I instantly fell in love with it. It's savory and creamy but not cloying. So I'm incredibly happy that JT's has this in their menu! 💃
#Philippines will allow use of dirtier, cheaper fuel amid US-Iran war

Hold your weak cowardly white folks accountable when they support wankerbutternoodles in public.
It is literally one of the lowest level of asking for white privileged bravery, online. Some folks cannot even step-up to that basic plate of online humanity.
I judge them on both actions & lack of actions.

The ever prescient @kixes:
“Nobody ever told me that the hardest part of living under authoritarianism—especially Singapore’s insidious, “soft” version that seems to be becoming attractive to other governments around the world—is not what they do to you, but what they make you do to yourself and to the people around you”

The certificate you need to get to have the right to own a car in Singapore is now S$111K (US$85K). That’s on top of the price of the car.
To be clear, I support this. You do not need a car in Singapore. It’s 30 miles wide
