AHY mendorong pembangunan 14.000 km rel di luar Jawa. Mungkinkah ada strategi politik yang tersembunyi di balik ambisi triliunan itu?

Wer bei dem Titel, so wie wir, an abgefahrene Roboter, Pew Pew Laser und unbezwungbare Overlords denkt, wird leider enttäuscht. Stattdessen erwarten uns infantile Urmenschen, nackte Jawas und der Zenit der Machtausübung in Form von Piratenpistolen.

Badan Gizi Nasional sepanjang April 2026 telah membekukan sementara 362 SPPG yang ada di Pulau Jawa. Beberapa pelanggaran yang banyak dilakukan oleh SPPG itu diantaranya tidak mematuhi prosedur yang telah ditentukan BGN. Lalu bagaimana menutup celah pelanggaran yang dilakukan SPPG itu?Simak wawancaranya dalam #TalkHighlight bersama Wakil Kepala BGN Bidang Operasional Pemenuhan Gizi, Irjen Pol (Purn) Sony Sonjaya.

Kawasan Simpang Gadog, Jawa Barat, terpantau ramai dengan aktivitas warga yang mayoritas didominasi oleh kendaraan pribadi pada pekan kedua pasca penerapan kebijakan WFH (Work From Home). Meski arus lalu lintas terpantau cukup padat, masyarakat diimbau untuk tetap berhati-hati saat berkendara. Untuk memberikan informasi lebih lanjut mengenai situasi terkini, jurnalis Metro TV, Rona Marina, melaporkan langsung dari lokasi untuk memberikan update arus lalu lintas dan rekayasa lalu lintas yang akan diterapkan di kawasan tersebut.

Pucangsula adalah kerajaan kuno di pesisir utara Jawa yang lenyap akibat cascade disaster — rangkaian bencana berantai berupa letusan gunung, tsunami, dan longsor masif yang menutup seluruh Teluk Kendheng dalam semalam. Di Episode 89 Talk Disaster, kita mengupas tuntas kisah kehancuran Pucangsula, geologi Gunung Lasem yang masih aktif hingga hari ini, dan mengapa nama-nama desa seperti Welahan, Kendengsidialit, dan Telukwetan adalah sistem peringatan dini yang ditinggalkan nenek moyang — yang hampir kita lupakan. Waspada Ya, Panik Jangan.

Lalu lintas Puncak, Bogor, pada akhir pekan terpantau padat didominasi oleh kendaraan dari arah Jakarta.

Jaranan is a traditional Javanese folk dance, where the dancers riding woven bamboo horses, often in a trance-like or possessed state. This performance which serves as both entertainment and ancestral ritual often involving mystical elements. Hence the role of Pawang or shaman is very important. - Jaranan adalah tarian rakyat tradisional Jawa, di mana para penari menunggangi kuda bambu anyaman, seringkali dalam keadaan seperti kesurupan atau kerasukan. Pertunjukan ini berfungsi sebagai hiburan dan ritual leluhur yang seringkali melibatkan unsur-unsur mistis dan filosofi. Oleh karena itu, peran Pawang atau dukun sangat penting.

Anies berbahasa Jawa krama inggil saat beli bakpia di Jogja. Strategi kultural atau sekadar pulang kampung?

Pantauan terkini di Simpang Gadog menunjukkan kondisi jalan yang lebih lengang, didominasi kendaraan pribadi roda 4. Masyarakat tetap diingatkan untuk berhati-hati saat berkendara, meski arus lalu lintas relatif lancar.

Welcome back! The "Mandalorian and Grogu" trailer has finally hit YouTube, and the crew is here to analyze every frame like a pack of hungry Jawas. After a year of waiting, the Razorcrest is back (with some snazzy new yellow accents!), and the hype is reaching lightspeed.

Zdravo! Ta teden začnemo s podporo lokalne obrti. Ker je konec sveta vsak dan bližje, smo prišli na idejo, da bi sami skovali apokaliptični bowie nož (ali pa mačeto) v kovačiji Krmelj. Pot z motorjem Jawa 42 do Kitajske nam razblinijo ameriške in izraelske rakete, ki padajo na Iran (čeprav v času snemanja tega še nismo vedeli). Povemo tudi, kako ne uporabljati telefona, medtem ko ste obtičali v gneči. Najboljše, kar lahko storite je, da greste na vlak (ali drugo obliko javnega prevoza) in tam berete knjigo ali pa v avtu poslušate podkaste in (globoko) dihate. Ali pa greste peš ali z biciklom. Za konec skočimo še v Garambo: Douglas je na termitnjaku, ki zgleda kot nosorog, Land Rover je izgubljen, Kes pa reši vse.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 2 Februari 2026Bacaan: "Tetapi Yunus bersiap untuk melarikan diri ke Tarsis, jauh dari hadapan TUHAN." (Yunus 1:3a)Renungan: Ngeyel dalam bahasa Jawa berarti sulit diberi tahu, suka menentang, cenderung menuruti kemauan sendiri, mengambil jalan tidak pada arah yang seharusnya ditempuh, bahkan memilih langkah yang menjauhi atau bertentangan dengan tujuan yang harus dicapai, tanpa alasan memadai, atau tanpa alasan sama sekali. Tuhan mengutus Yunus ke Niniwe untuk mengingatkan penduduk kota itu agar mereka bertobat, tetapi Yunus justru ke Yafo, lalu berlayar ke Tarsis untuk menjauhi tugas itu, bahkan untuk menjauh dari Tuhan. Alasan Yunus adalah Yunus tidak mau orang Niniwe bertobat, diampuni, dan selamat. Yunus ingin orang Niniwe dibinasakan. Alasan yang egois dan kejam. Ternyata, Yunus adalah orang yang ngeyel, bahkan tidak tanggung-tanggung Yunus ngeyel kepada Tuhan. Tahukah kita bahwa kita pun sesekali atau sering bersikap seperti Yunus: ngeyel kepada Tuhan? Mungkin ada yang bilang, "Ngeyel kepada Tuhan? Mana kami berani? Kalaupun ngeyel, kami ngeyel yang biasa-biasa saja." Benarkah? Coba lihat ini: Mestinya beribadah di gereja, tetapi menghabiskan hari Minggu di tempat wisata. Mestinya bertindak jujur, tetapi melakukan korupsi. Mestinya menggunakan waktu secara bertanggung jawab, tetapi menghabiskannya untuk hal-hal tak bermakna. Bukankah itu bentuk ngeyel kepada Tuhan? Sepertinya, tak habis-habisnya kita harus bertelut memohon ampun kepada Tuhan, karena makin dalam kita memandang hidup kita, makin banyaklah kita temukan ke-ngeyel-an kita kepada Tuhan. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampuni aku karena tanpa aku sadari begitu banyak ketidaktaatan yang kulakukan pada-Mu, sehingga seringkali aku berada di luar jalan-Mu. Amin. (Dod).

In a sort of what if, youthful versions of Sherlock Holmes (Nicholas Rowe) and John Watson (Alan Cox) meet at an English boarding school. After quick introductions, Holmes demonstrates his legendary sleuthing abilities (based on the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle). We see a tender side of Holmes as well. Elizabeth (Sophie Ward) lives on the school grounds with her uncle. When the game is not afoot, Holmes is usually, flirtatiously, hanging with her. Unfortunately, the game is afoot! People are getting blow darted! There is a string of recent deaths that may be related. A cloaked Jawa is lurking around. There is an Egyptian cult! RTS takes on a stained-glass knight come to life. We're all poker pals now. Jeremy checks out the Egyptian wrap and wax. It isn't for him. La-Mar relies on “perception, intelligence, and imagination [and whiskey].” Collin fights some crazed cream puffs in a graveyard. “Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent." Let's solve a mystery together in this winter tale written by Chris Columbus. 

For musician Ria Soemardjo, singing in the Javanese tradition is a way to connect with her father's culture whilst also providing a space for creative experimentation. - Bagi Ria Soemardjo, bernyanyi dalam tradisi Jawa adalah cara untuk terhubung dengan budaya ayahnya sekaligus ruang untuk bereksperimen secara kreatif.

On this week's episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we kick things off with the glorious meltdown of two of our least favorite Bond villains: Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Not only is their public pissing match tanking Tesla's market cap, but now Trump's launching a crypto wallet to… fund freedom? Or at least funnel it straight to his latest shell game. Meanwhile, someone at DOGE admitted the U.S. government wasn't entirely incompetent, so naturally, they got fired. Efficiency is un-American, after all.In the news, Ukraine leveled up with an unprecedented drone blitz on Russian airbases using—you guessed it—open source software. GitHub just became a geopolitical weapon. Back home, Nebraska wants to unplug your kids, Florida's trying (and failing) to legislate dopamine, and Tesla's panicking that their crash data might expose how their “Full Self-Driving” is really just short bus autopilot. And because the AI dystopia train never stops: OpenAI's bot is recommending meth to recovering addicts, Meta's replacing humans with risk-assessing algorithms, and one “AI startup” turned out to be 700 dudes in Bangalore with a decent VPN. Cue the dramatic zoom on Diabolus Ex Machina.Media Candy this week is a buffet: Downton Abbey finally closes up shop, Stranger Things 5 sets a date, and Foundation still sucks. Marc Maron's locking the gates for good, Garbage drops a surprisingly optimistic album, and Hollywood's quietly been using AI like it's a studio intern who doesn't need sleep. Over in The Library, Jason's back with Hitchhiker's Guide and Brian dives in to Michael Palin's Python diaries—because reading actual books is still a thing, damn it. Plus: Dave Bittner wants to “go antiquing” with Amy Sedaris with a Ben Franklin playbook. Closing shout-outs go to the legendary Loretta Swit—Hot Lips forever—and yes, we finally answer the question nobody asked: what is under a Jawa's hood?Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
