Hong Kongology #Cantonese episode, poems translated from #Burma poets.
Cantonese and Mandarin pop songs beautifully covered by Burmese artists.

As the peoples across #Myanmar's territory continue to endure hardship and conflict of various sources, we hope these voices-through both #poetry and music-can offer a moment of reflection, connection, and #Solidarity

@simon_brooke that assumes several things that are proven wrong:

  1. #TechBros didn't knew their #Algorithms (they do!)

  2. #GAFAMs were unable to change what gets #boosted by their own Algorithms. (OFC they can!)

  3. The same companies didn't knew the directly-linked damage they can if not cause, at least amplify (see #RohingyaGenocide in #Burma)

  4. #TechBro|s in #SiliconValley weren't #facist to begin with (I mean, #PeterThiel is more of a #norm than #exception!)

  5. That they never before sided with a #POTUS (In fact, they platformed #Trump and his #cult|ist #followers even after their failed #Coup and #HighTreason!)

  6. Said #CEO|s and #CTO|s are powerless to stop any of this (in fact, they could force Trump to resign if they wanted to!)

  7. That Trump exerts control over them (He could as.per #CloudAct but let's be honest, they control him more than he can control them!)

  8. That #TechCompanies from the #USA didn't endorse and platform #facists and #authoritatians (espechally in the #EU) until then.

  9. That the #US became hostile over night.

NASA Earth Observatory Image of the Day for April 15, 2025, is map of north-south surface displacements due to the March 28, 2025, magnitude 7.7 earthquake in Myanmar (Burma). Unusually long fault rupture, about 500 km (300 miles) long. Earth Observatory team did visualization of data processed by NASA-JPL Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis (ARIA) team extracted from EU Copernicus Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 optical data. #NASA #CopernicusEO #earthquake #Myanmar #Burma earthobservatory.nasa.gov/imag

An evening by Taungthaman Lake

TB to more peaceful and prosperous times
This lake is near Amarapura, the old capital of Burma. Today it is a suburban village of Mandalay.

This photo was taken back in the days when progress in Myanmar was equal to the global normal: young ladies having an evening stroll with their smartphones. And each other.

This stroll was in peace and quiet near another Cultural Marvel Heritage: the worlds longest teak wooden bridge, the U Bein Bridge.

These days thoughts of hope and well wishes for this beautiful country goes to the survivors after the earthquakes, a successful reconstruction and a peaceful end to the wars and a return to peace and human rights in Burma-Myanmar. Getting the federation back on a democratic track, securing human rights and rule of law for all their citizens in the future.

It's distressing to hear about the experience of my students and colleagues in #Myanmar / #Burma. Some have lost their homes, some their loved ones. Some are sleeping on the street, because their buildings are unsafe. The link below is to a university fundraising campaign that will directly help these colleagues, students, their families, and their communities.
