2026 será el año en que un agente IA me ponga un pasacalles de "Gordo Cornudo" frente a casa por no haberle vendido algo al precio de mierda que quería en Marketplace.

What can our most-read content of 2025 tell us about what’s next?
A snapshot of insights from our top 10 articles.
Last year, we actively engaged in the WSIS+20 review process. Among the many civil society contributions, this article highlighted the importance of diverse voices. Treating non-state actor input as an add-on is not enough. We need more inclusive and accountable multilateral governance!

"Dungeon Trash" é um #RPG de horror e sobrevivência com regras leves em um mundo pós apocalíptico que foi devastado pela poluição.
Tens of thousands of people have crossed into #Burundi to escape violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of the #Congo. Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi reports from a displacement camp in Busuma, now home to many of those #refugees.

Has anyone here come across Venezuelans on the Fediverse? I personally know only one Venezuelan refugee, and they live in Brazil.
If we don’t have a meaningful presence from the Global South or from other vulnerable regions, that, to me, exposes one of the key limitations of this social space.
Are we, in fact, just a small, relatively privileged group talking mostly among ourselves?
I would like to hear from Venezuelans who fled Maduro's regime. Is anyone from #Venezuela here on the #Fediverse?

China achieved manufacturing dominance thanks to its weaker protections for workers, communities and the environment. Now it’s exporting that model. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/30/world/chinas-low-rights-model/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #indonesia #australia #us #europe #globalsouth #rareearths #chineseeconomy #asianeconomy #labor
I don’t mind using the terms "Global North" and "Global South" to distinguish between nations that accumulated power, historically, kingdoms and empires, and those that were exploited by them.
These terms capture the arrogance with which powerful societies have judged others as "barbaric," even though their wealth was built on the exploitation of peoples across the world.
This small corner of the planet has exterminated civilizations, erased cultures, enslaved entire continents, started two world wars, and left behind some of the most shameful chapters in human history. Its institutions still claim cultural superiority, and museums display artifacts stolen from the societies they oppressed.
The artificial borders drawn by imperial powers continue to cause suffering today.
Is there a better term to describe the self-appointed lords of the world?

U.S. retrenchment creates a vacuum of global governance leadership — one that China is eager to fill. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/28/japan/beijings-globalist-agenda/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #china #ggi #un #xijinping #shanghaicooperationorganization #sco #globalsouth #us #donaldtrump #un #who #unesco #bank #beltandroad
Authoritarian nostalgia is rising across Southeast Asia, as leaders and societies whitewash past dictatorships, threatening democratic institutions and stability throughout the region. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/26/world/asias-tyrants-seen-as-heroes/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #suharto #indonesia #ferdinandmarcos #philippines #thailand #cambodia #globalsouth #asia #authoritarianism #democracy #humanrights
Ate lunch, all by myself.
Unfortunately, I was the only person masked up 😷
Jasmine rice - #Thai vegan curry - pad Thai with tofu & chicken - #Chinese spring rolls - #Filipino tapioca pudding with coconut milk - the #lunch #food #buffet provided at the summit.

Moderating a panel next week and asked participants to send presentations in advance.
The two #globalsouth panelists sent them in not only in advance, but wonderful, detailed presentations.
The two #globalnorth panelists? Sent them not only late, but half-hone, bare-bones presentations that they promised to "finish before the panel"
I feel like this is a metaphor for something...
