Dr Mahathir Mohamad: Standing Up For Humanity
Dr Mahathir Mohamad : “I had chosen to speak out despite being aware of the potential backlash. To my mind, keeping quiet is not an option when all the tell-tale signs were pointing towards another situation whereby a big and powerful country imposed its will with impunity on a small and defenceless nation.”

“What transpired since my contentious speech at the UN General Assembly in September last year only served to prove that what I had said were mild and to a certain degree, restrained.
I offer no apology for what I had said though I am sorry that it had affected our palm oil export to India. I don’t know if that is a high price to pay for speaking out against such injustices.
Now that I am no more the Prime Minister, I take it that I can now speak without restrain and address the Kashmir issue without threats of boycotts and such.”

Linkblog March 26, 2026: On typing
Welcome to my Linkblog where I share interesting articles and blog posts I found about social media, Indieweb, geopolitics, Chinese and Malaysian stuff, cute cat videos or anything funny and interesting I find online.
FYI: I also share links in the “Weekend Tales” of my Substack newsletter, Tai Tales. The newsletter is geared towards Chinese and Malaysian culture.

Nostalgia for word processors
The Digital Dilemma: Why Writers Are Abandoning Modern Word Processing Software
“Modern word processors, like most contemporary internet spaces, have become battlegrounds for our attention.”
I long for the days when a word processor was just a blinking green thing on a black screen 🥲
Your Word processor is distracting you
Each time I use a web-based word processor, my blood pressure just goes up. These days you never get a peaceful moment when you’re writing on one of those. You get interruptions galore – hey, would you like a tour? Hey! Did you know about this feature? HEY! WE GOT AI NOW
That’s why I write with Obsidian these days. So peaceful. No bloody interruptions. I use it to write almost everything. Blog posts, work copy, fiction, newsletters.

It’s kinda depressing this video was released 12 years ago. At what point is “enough is enough”? 😅
Does AI “Threaten to Undermine Democracy” or is it already way too Broken?

The intersection of tech and politics! I love the channel, Internet of Bugs, and this is such a solid take.
