Fires are smoldering in Indonesia, which is in a severe and widespread drought. Some of these are tropical peatland fires, which burn slowly, release higher amounts of air pollution, and are notoriously difficult to extinguish.

Red dots have been added to show where the MODIS instrument detected fires. The dots are primarily on the western and southern parts of Indonesia and often cluster together. Credit: NASA

Cancer surgeon here. People like to point out that childfree women have a slightly increased risk for breast cancer without mentioning they have ZERO risk for:
- Perineal tears and fecal incontinence
- Preeclampsia
- Amniotic fluid embolism
- Bladder, uterine, or rectal prolapse
- Diastasis recti
- Peripartum cardiomyopathy
- Postpartum depression
- Chronic pain from pelvic nerve damage
Stop shaming childfree women and start appreciating that families come in many flavors.

Because a big heart doesn’t just love—it tolerates, forgives, and tries to understand… and the wrong people see that as an opportunity, not a gift.
But over time, she learns: having a big heart doesn’t mean having loose boundaries. And once she pairs her softness with standards, everything changes.

This is wild.
143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.
Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.
Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.
Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.
The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.
POKÉMON GO PLAYERS TRAINED 30 BILLION IMAGE AI MAP
Niantic says photos and scans collected through Pokémon Go and its AR apps have produced a massive dataset of more than 30 billion real-world images.
The company is now using that data to power visual navigation for delivery robots, letting them identify exact locations on city streets without relying on GPS.

Watching Hallmark Christmas movies remind me of you, Anne. How we binged terribly mediocre Christmas movies that time you visited me in Singapore. Miss you 🤍

🥀@KontraS express our condolences for the passing of Mr. Asih Widodo on 21 December 2025.
He dedicated his life to seeking justice for his son, Sigit Prasetyo, who was killed by the state during the Semanggi 1 in 1998.

Satu juta. Angka itu bukan statistik. Itu adalah 1.057.482 tatapan kosong di tenda pengungsian, bau basah dari pakaian yang tak sempat diselamatkan, dan 961 kursi kosong di meja makan yang takkan pernah terisi lagi.
Kau tahu apa yang paling menjijikkan dari data 961 nyawa melayang dan hampir seribu orang hilang ini? Estimasi biaya pemulihan.
BNPB bilang, butuh Rp51,82 triliun untuk memulihkan Aceh, Sumbar, dan Sumut. Bayangkan. Kerugian yang disebabkan oleh kelalaian sistematis pembalakan liar, tata ruang abal-abal, dan penegakan hukum tumpul terhadap korporasi perusak kini harus ditanggung negara. Uang kita.
Pejabat datang, pasang wajah prihatin di depan kamera, bilang "Indonesia Mampu Atasi Musibah". Mereka memastikan APBN cukup (Kata Mensesneg 3 Des 2025). Tentu saja cukup! Anggaran untuk event pencitraan, studi banding, atau food security project yang tiba-tiba muncul, angkanya jauh lebih berani.
Lihat kontrasnya:
Biaya pemulihan: Rp51,82 Triliun.
Bantuan yang diserahkan Menag tahap awal: Rp155 Miliar (fakta, 2 Des 2025) – mayoritas dari donasi Baznas dan lembaga lain, bukan murni kucuran APBN Penuh.
Korban meninggal hampir 1.000 jiwa, tapi Pemerintah Pusat TIDAK MAU menetapkan status Bencana Nasional (fakta, dikritik ekonom karena membatasi ruang fiskal darurat - 1 Des 2025). Kenapa? Karena menetapkan Bencana Nasional berarti pejabat harus kerja, bukan pencitraan. Itu berarti membuka dompet sebesar-besarnya, bukan sekadar mengirim 3-4 pesawat Hercules berisi mi instan.
Sementara anak-anak di pengungsian merindukan satu piring nasi hangat, elite di Jakarta sibuk berdebat: Apakah lebih penting kerja lapangan atau administrasi? (fakta, alasan belum ditetapkan Bencana Nasional - 3 Des 2025).
Jutaan nyawa terancam. Ribuan hilang. Puluhan triliun rupiah ludes karena keserakahan yang dilegalkan. Dan kita, yang kehilangan saudara, hanya bisa melihat mereka beradu argumen di podium.
Kita menabur kemanusiaan, yang kita tuai hanya lip service dan angka kerugian yang membengkak.

Living in Indonesia teaches you stoicism by force: each day, a new lesson in how the government can continuously fail its people.

Anthony Bourdain made an episode in the West Bank and Gaza, referring to it as a prison. And then they silenced him too.
