Siguro, if you ask your doctor friends for consult and they didn’t charge you but advised you & gave you prescription, the least you can do is update them how you are doing -if you got better or not, because we do care if our patients get better or not, esp if they’re our friends

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

PHL bans exports of purple yam as global demand soars
The Philippines has imposed an indefinite ban on exports of fresh purple yam (ube) to safeguard planting material amid growing global demand and stiff competition among producers.
“We don’t want to export planting material. We severely lack it ourselves and other countries might use it to compete with us,” said Agri Sec. Tiu Laurel.

A lot of people assume that most Africans carried across the Atlantic as slaves were taken to what became the United States.
They weren't.
The true geography of the Atlantic slave trade looks very different.

NEW OPEN FIELD IN QC
The Quezon City government on Saturday inaugurated the new multi-purpose open field at the Quezon Memorial Circle (QMC), expanding the park's recreational and community spaces.
Mayor Joy Belmonte led the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the 12,000-square-meter open field, which features walking paths, landscaped areas, views of the Quezon Memorial Shrine, a pond, and an amphitheater for sports, leisure, and community events.
The project also includes a retention pond and detention tank to help mitigate flooding and collect rainwater for future use. (Facebook/Quezon City Government)

'KUNG GANITO ANG PAMANTAYAN NATIN, EDI BUKSAN NA NATIN LAHAT NG BANK RECORDS NATIN'
Senator-judge Robin Padilla argued that all of their bank records should be made public in the interest of fairness after the impeachment court granted the subpoena for Vice President Sara Duterte's bank and tax records.
"Bakit kung ganito ang pamantayan natin, edi buksan na natin lahat ng bank records natin. Lahat na. Tayong lahat ay buksan na natin lahat. Para maipakita sa taumbayan na wala tayong kinikilingan," he stated during the impeachment trial on Monday.
He also renewed his call for the passage of his Freedom of Information bill.

KEEP BULLYING TECH COMPANIES INTO REMOVING USELESS AND INVASIVE AI FEATURES!!!!!!!!
Meta is removing Instagram’s latest AI feature following a negative response from users:
“Earlier this week, we announced that one way for people to generate images in Meta AI is by @-mentioning public Instagram accounts that they want to reference. Our intent was to provide a useful creative tool and to give people control over whether their public content could be referenced in this way. We've heard the feedback that this feature missed the mark, so it's no longer available.”
