<p><a href="https://rolandtanglao.com/2026/07/20/p2322-mmina-maclang-tamayo-the-odyssey-filipino-american-war/">The Americans killed thousands (if not tens of thousands or 100,000 or more) Filipinos in this war and we've forgotten about it even though it's not a hidden conspiracy theory. See Karnow's In our Image for a biased American history of this ; Mmina Maclang Tamayo aka @thoughtspresso:: It doesn't escape me as someone from a former US colony (and in many ways continue to be under Uncle Sam's thumb), that they indeed brought a gift horse to our shores. In the late 1890s, under the guise of friendship, the US staged the Battle of Manila to pretend to help fight off the Spanish colonizers. Then they turned around and became our colonizer. <img alt="🤷🏻‍♀️" class="wp-smiley" src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/1f937-1f3fb-200d-2640-fe0f.png" style="height: 1em;" /></a></p>

<p><a href="https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2026/05/19/Declining-America">What Tim said :-)</a> : </p>
<blockquote><p>
I’m Canadian and as a matter of principle feeling negative about visiting a neighboring country whose leader has repeatedly threatened our sovereignty and shown massive disrespect for our nationhood. Particularly when that leader has followed up similar statements about other nations with military action.
</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
I could probably work around that. But there’s also the issue of entering the US; if I roll up at the border and am asked to disclose my social media output, there’s a significant risk of an extremely negative outcome. I have a family to support and really can’t afford that risk.
</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
I still consider myself a friend of your organization, and one with strong opinions about the subjects scheduled for discussion; my regrets about having to decline are entirely sincere.

<p>Carmen Guerrero-Nakpil: <a href="https://philippinesgraphic.com.ph/2023/03/27/wheres-the-patis/">When the Pinoy finally finds such a treasure-house, he will have every meal with his kababayan. Forgotten are the bistros and the smart restaurant. The back of his hand to the Four Seasons and the Tour d’ Argent. Ah, the regular orgies of cooking and eating will ensue. He may never have known his host before. In Manila, if he saw him again, they would hardly exchange two words. But here in this odd, barbarian land where people eat inedible things and have never heard of patis, they are brothers forever.</a></p>

As a child, Jack is enchanted by his mother’s magical ability to make origami paper animals come to life. These paper creatures play with him, comfort him, and become a vivid representation of the intimate bond he shares with his mother, as well as a link to his Chinese heritage.</li>

<p>Maybe I should contact Ray and we should do a CKMS tribute set LOL. Ray and I DJ'd 2-6am for 2 four month terms at the University of Waterloo's radio station CKMS in 1986 (or was it 85 or 87?). So fun back then so much lost sleep!</p>

<p><strong>Highly recommended</strong>. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rapsberryshake/">Carmela Sison</a> as Chef Mela is fabulous -> Lasa ng Imperyo/<a href="https://talonbooks.com/books/a-taste-of-empire">A Taste of Empire</a>, an adaptation of a play by <a href="https://www.canadiantheatre.com/dict.pl?term=Sy%2C%20Jovanni">Jovanni Sy,</a> is playing in North Vancouver at the <a href="https://www.phtheatre.org/stec_event/lasa-ng-imperyo/">Presentation House Theatre</a> until October 19, 2025. It's a history lesson from Magellan to the Spanish Empire's influence on Filipino cuisine since the 1500s to the Spanish American war's killing of over 10, 000 Filipinos by American soldiers (some historians say many more like over 100, 000), to the migrant workers of Mexico in Abbotsford who in an ironic twist work hard with very low wages to supply tomatoes to Filipinos (ironic because Spanish Empire Philippines was administered from Acapulco, Mexico for over 200 years, see Wikipedia: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manila_galleon">Manila galleon</a>) to Trump and a <a href="https://www.kawalingpinoy.com/relyenong-bangus/">relyenong bangus</a> cooking lesson. It's funny sad, and gut wrenching. Only $30! The first time I've seen a play in Tagalog with English subtitles. <strong>100% relevant to everybody not just Filipinos.</strong></p>
<h4 id="blurb-from-ph-theatre">Blurb from PH Theatre</h4>
<blockquote><p>
Superstar of the culinary world, Master Chef Maximo Cortés is offering an exclusive demonstration, sharing the secrets of his trademarked Imperial Cuisine cooking techniques with you, his lucky, elite guests! Or at least, he would have, if he had shown up.
</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
Luckily, the witty and intrepid Sous-Chef Mela is here to save the day! Her task? To cook rellenong bangus, or stuffed milkfish, a dish whose intricate preparation process takes its roots from the country’s culinary traditions and colonial past. In a surprising fusion of theatre and gastronomy, this live cooking demonstration pairs the harsh truths of a global food system with shocking humour. Performed in Tagalog with English surtitles, this show guides audiences across the layered history of Philippine cultural heritage through a live cooking demonstration.
</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
This adaptation of Jovanni Sy’s <em>A Taste of Empire</em> reimagines this acclaimed play through a fresh female perspective. As the dish is brought to life, so too are the stories embedded within its ingredients.

<p>It's August 5, 2025. <a href="https://bmannconsulting.com/">Boris</a> (check out Boris's fantastic presentation about ATProto apps from Fedicon: <a href="https://bmannconsulting.com/notes/beyond-microblogging-atproto/">Beyond Microblogging: AT Protocol for Building Unique Social Apps</a>) pointed out that <a href="https://roland.wordpress.com/2025/08/04/301/">my question from yesterday is a moot point</a> i.e. I was wrong, again <img alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/1f642.png" style="height: 1em;" /> about ATProto. All the ATProto things that Bluesky the company is hosting are being hosted by others <strong>TODAY</strong> not some nebulous future date. I say let's goooooo! Go "<a href="https://opencollective.com/blacksky">Blacksky</a>, <a href="https://gandersocial.ca/#faq">Gander</a> and all the others that I don't know about" hosting all the ATProto pieces go!

<p>It's August 4, 2025. When will we have an ATProto implementation that relies on zero code or data on BlueSky's VC funded servers? By the end of 2025? 2026? Never?
