Facebook/Meta’s Double Standard!

Oh, the delicate dance of Facebook/Meta’s community standards! In their infinite wisdom, they graciously remove posts deemed “spam” with the precision of a digital surgeon. Yet, they’ve bestowed upon netizens the power to use “@everyone,” broadcasting their messages to every Tom, Dick, and Harry with the subtlety of a foghorn.

This brilliant dichotomy ensures that while our feeds remain free of insidious spam, we’re simultaneously bombarded with Aunt Karen’s latest multi-level marketing scheme. It’s a masterclass in monopolizing control, deciding which content is the true villain while unleashing a floodgate of notifications.

Truly, Facebook’s double standard is an art form, balancing the need for order with the chaos of unrestrained tagging. After all, who better to curate our digital lives than the benevolent overlords of Meta?

Convert New Senate Building To Affordable Housing?

In a bold display of prioritizing aesthetics over infrastructure, Japanese builders have decided to demolish an almost-finished high-rise building. The reason? It dared to obstruct the sacred view of Mount Fuji. Clearly, the panorama of a majestic peak was worth more than the millions invested in steel and concrete.

Meanwhile, across the waters in the Philippines, the new Senate Building’s construction budget has undergone a miraculous expansion—from a modest P8.9 million to a staggering P23.3 million. One can only marvel at how democracy has gotten so pricey.

Rather than demanding its demolition, perhaps Filipinos should repurpose this golden monument to political excess. Turning it into low-cost apartments might just offer a roof to those perpetually priced out of the housing market.

After all, who needs a Senate when you can have affordable housing?

Perhaps the Filipinos can teach the Japanese a thing or two about functional repurposing.
