Singapore is already covered with signs like 'if 'women' online are promising you naked photos in return for gift cards / credits, it is a SCAM'
And the fraud situation is getting worse because of Meta
What a shithole of a company (on top of everything else that they do)

53% of people in Singapore disapprove of gay sex
50% of people in Singapore disapprove of gay marriage
Who are the people who think gay married people are fine as long as they don’t have sex?

Cool video about the people who work with wildlife rescue in Singapore.
When I still lived there I lived in some old forest areas, so I often had to call them to come get the snakes, bats, from my house (which is a pretty different experience from how others experience Singapore)

It always fascinates me when I meet queer Singaporeans in their 50s and 60s who moved to San Francisco / Oakland, who have never experienced Singapore as a place where they knew anyone who was open and out. Who don’t really have much of a link at all to the queer Singapore that I know and love.
Vs
That is the only life I know, almost all of my friends there are queer activists, the only people in the closet are religious people, lots of people ‘cohabitate’, buy homes, have children (logistically harder but I have seen it)
A lot has changed in a very short time; and nothing has, too, in other ways.

Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said jobs for citizens will be the government’s top priority as the city-state faces risks from rising global trade barriers and artificial intelligence. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/18/tech/singapore-jobs-ai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #singapore #ai #jobs
I do love this about #Singapore:
“In 2015, the then Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, who has a first-class degree in mathematics and a diploma in computer science from Cambridge, shared a Sudoku solver on Facebook which he had programmed himself in C, which racked up 36,000 likes and 12,000 shares within a day. One of his ministers, Vivian Balakrishnan, promptly translated the program to JavaScript and posted his own version online. That sort of alacrity for technology in the upper echelons of government is still rare in much of the rest of the world and Singapore has that to its advantage. “

Glad that someone informed me that my side project https://busrouter.sg is featured on CNA Insider's Singapore Hour "The Unseen Side of Singapore’s Bus System", under the chapter "Woodlands Bus Depot: The Eyes and Ears of Singapore’s Bus System" (04:08) https://youtu.be/_BURy2_mGZM?t=248&feature=shared
Pretty cool. #Singapore
I saw a photo of a Singapore flag with bras hanging over it with the caption ‘happy neh neh tional day’ and I haven’t stopped laughing.
I do love a good Singlish joke
A Greater Racket-tailed Drongo (Dicrurus paradiseus) spotted at Mount Faber Park, Singapore on 16 Feb 2025. Always good to see these birds in the forest, especially those that still have those distinctive long tail feathers.
