The reason I keep this blog is... it’s my personal secret base. 

I don’t know whether somebody in the future will read it. I don’t know whether this blog is going to be indexed by search engines or not, but I heard that a good old Blogger blog is quite visible on Google, so I’m betting on that.

Alright. In this case, my stance alternates back and forth. Sometimes, I oppose the prosecutors. But sometimes, I also oppose the defenders. I guess maybe both of them have flaws, so I can objectively point out the faults in each of them.

On one side: schadenfreude. 

I already detached myself from this “local techbros movement” a long time ago because they hurt me a lot. Heck, I already muted/blocked the defendant in this case sometime in the past. That explains a lot regarding my first stance.

On the other side, this could happen to anyone again in the future. 

One day, if you’re unlucky enough, you can be jailed no matter how much good you did in the past. 

And the sad part is, from what we see right now in the news, you literally can’t do anything about it.

From what I see right now, fleeing from the prosecutors seems like the right move from the start, since there’s no such thing as justice once you get captured.

Like, seriously. It seems there’s no other way to fight back against this kind of injustice. 

It feels like you have to do it extrajudicially either to save yourself or to fight back against it.

Or maybe... 

do it the Hitler way.

‘Following the failed 1923 Munich Putsch, Adolf Hitler used his 1924 trial for high treason as a public platform, turning a potential defeat into a political victory. His closing speech helped transform him from a regional instigator into a national figure, gaining him followers by rebranding his criminal acts as noble, patriotic actions.’

‘Although the trial was a legal process against him, the government allowed extensive media coverage, giving Hitler a national platform he previously lacked. This coverage made his name familiar throughout Germany and ensured his message reached a broad audience.’

‘Hitler was jailed immediately after the trial.’

‘His confinement was highly comfortable, resembling a private suite rather than a cell. He received hundreds of guests, heaps of gifts, and fan mail daily. He used this uninterrupted free time to dictate the first volume of his political manifesto.’

Sometimes, I feel this pressure building in my chest—an unnamed heaviness, dull and low, like an overcast sky that never quite lets the rain fall. And on those days, I want to scream—not in anger, but in mourning. As if I’m grieving for something vague and distant, maybe even imaginary. I want to scream part of my thoughts into the void, hoping they'll scatter and settle somewhere. Not to be heard. Not to be understood. Just to exist beyond me. And yet, I’ve spent too much time—years, even—thinking too hard about the logistics of screaming into the void. Like, which app do I use? There’s X (the husk formerly known as Twitter). I thought about it, briefly. But the place feeds on instant judgment. It devours you the moment you step outside the boundaries of the identity you've unintentionally built. I think some people followed me because of one hit tweet—one viral moment that said, “This is who I am.” But I’m not that moment. Not anymore. Maybe I never was. Now, when I post anyt...

07.10 pagi, LRT Jatimulya arah ke Dukuh Atas sempat mogok sekitar 300 m sebelum masuk ke Stasiun LRT Cawang. Setidaknya, aku melihat dua kotak lampu merah di panel kendali kabin. Satu di pojok kanan atas. Satu di tengah-tengah baris paling atas. Masinis sibuk memfoto layar dashboard. Beberapa saat kemudian, seseorang berseragam INKA (baju abu-abu tua + lanyard IMSS) ikut bergegas masuk ke kabin. Ia menggunakan kunci kabin yang berwujud seperti kunci letter T kecil untuk masuk ke dalam. Ada kotak panel yang dibuka. Sepertinya mereka sedang mengusahakan untuk mengambil alih kendali kereta secara manual. Pak Masinis berusaha melihat nomor kode seri kereta yang tertulis di atas kabin : TS 18 MC 01 / K1 1 20 79. Sepertinya beliau ingin mengirimkan laporan ke grup koordinasi. Pada layar monitor berlogo Siemens, muncul tampilan UI yang belum pernah ku lihat sebelumnya. Akhirnya, LRT pun perlahan mulai bergerak lagi. Maju sedikit ke depan, sampai...

Musholla itu terletak di tepi jalan raya yang cukup ramai. Bagian selasar luarnya juga dipakai untuk tempat shalat, kalau jamaahnya sedang membludak. Selasar luar itu terletak tepat di tepi jalan raya, hanya dipisahkan oleh pagar yang cukup pendek. Jika ada orang yang berdiri shalat di selasar itu, pandangannya langsung menghadap orang-orang yang lalu lalang di jalan raya. Bisa tidak khusyuk. Oleh karena itu, DKM musholla biasanya membangun sebuah tenda sederhana menggunakan kain sebagai sisi tembok darurat selasar luar. Agar pengguna jalan tidak bisa melihat orang shalat, dan begitu juga sebaliknya. Tenda itu hanya dibangun pada saat-saat penting, khususnya ketika jamaah sedang membludak. Salah satu saat penting itu adalah hari ini. Nisfu sya'ban. Mulai magrib, jamaah datang cukup membludak. DKM musholla sampai menyewa ruko yang ada tepat di samping musholla sebagai ruangan tempat shalat tambahan bagi ibu-ibu. Setelah shalat magrib, dilanjutkan dengan penyampaian instruksi oleh pa...
