KUBU RAYA - Ratusan sopir ekspedisi dari berbagai perusahaan logistik di Kalimantan Barat berkumpul di Bundaran Tugu Alianyang, Sungai Ambawang, Rabu malam (25/6/2025), dalam rangka konsolidasi menjelang aksi damai yang akan digelar Kamis (26/6/2025).

Koordinator Aksi, Mulwarok, menyampaikan bahwa aksi ini akan dimulai dari titik kumpul di Bundaran Tugu Alianyang, lalu dilanjutkan dengan long march menuju Kantor Gubernur Kalimantan Barat di Jalan Ahmad Yani, Pontianak.

Kasubsi Penmas, AIPTU Ade mengatakan aksi ini bertujuan menyuarakan aspirasi para pengemudi terhadap berbagai persoalan lapangan, termasuk keberatan atas kebijakan penertiban truk Over Dimension Over Loading (ODOL) yang dinilai menekan mata pencaharian sopir tanpa solusi alternatif dari pemerintah.

Sebagai informasi, dasar hukum penindakan terhadap kendaraan ODOL mengacu pada Undang-Undang Nomor 22 Tahun 2009 tentang Lalu Lintas dan Angkutan Jalan, khususnya Pasal 277.

“Kendaraan yang tidak memenuhi persyaratan teknis dilarang beroperasi. Sanksi pelanggaran berupa pidana penjara paling lama 1 tahun atau denda maksimal Rp 24 juta”.

Adapun tujuan utama penertiban ODOL yang dilakukan pemerintah adalah untuk:

1. Menjaga keselamatan lalu lintas dan mencegah kecelakaan fatal akibat beban berlebih.

2. Melindungi infrastruktur jalan dan jembatan dari kerusakan dini.

3. Menegakkan standar teknis kendaraan demi kelayakan operasional.

“Kami mendukung keselamatan dan aturan, tapi kami butuh keadilan dalam penerapan. Banyak sopir yang terdampak tanpa ada solusi, apalagi untuk mereka yang hanya bekerja ikut orang,” ujar Mulwarok.

Dalam aksi konsolidasi malam tadi, para sopir membawa berbagai atribut seperti spanduk dan poster berisi tuntutan dan keluhan. Kendaraan ekspedisi diparkir secara tertib, dan kegiatan ini mendapat pengawasan dari aparat keamanan.

Aksi damai besok diharapkan menjadi momentum dialog antara pekerja logistik dengan pemerintah, agar kebijakan yang diterapkan tidak sekadar represif, tapi juga solutif dan berpihak kepada rakyat kecil. (Tim)

World's Rarest Blood Type "Gwada Negative" Officially Recognized—Only One Person Has It

World's Rarest Blood Type "Gwada Negative" Officially Recognized—Only One Person Has It

World's Rarest Blood Type "Gwada Negative" Officially Recognized—Only One Person Has It.

Did you know that scientists have just confirmed the existence of a brand new blood type—the 48th known to science? Even more amazing, only one person in the entire world is known to have it. This ultra-rare blood type has been named Gwada Negative, inspired by the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, where the woman who carries it was born. She now lives in Paris.

Discovered Through Routine Testing

This fascinating story started 15 years ago when a 54-year-old woman was undergoing routine blood tests before surgery. Doctors found something unusual—an antibody that had never been recorded before. That moment kicked off years of scientific research.

It wasn’t until 2019 that researchers identified the cause: a rare genetic mutation. Thanks to advanced DNA sequencing technology, scientists finally uncovered what made her blood so unique.

Fast forward to June 2025—this discovery was officially recognized at a global conference held by the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) in Milan. Since then, Gwada Negative has been added to the global blood classification registry.

A Blood Type Like No Other

According to Thierry Peyrard, a medical biologist at the French Blood Service (EFS), the woman inherited this rare blood type from both her parents, who each carried a mutated gene without realizing it.

Here’s the astonishing part: she is the only known person in the world with this blood type, and that means she can only receive a blood transfusion from herself. There is currently no compatible donor for her anywhere on Earth.

Searching for Genetic Matches

Researchers are now hoping to find others with this rare blood type, which could improve medical treatment options for people with uncommon blood groups.

Thanks to faster and more advanced DNA analysis tools, the search for rare blood types has become more efficient. This progress increases the odds of finding compatible donors for people in critical need.

Toward Universal Blood?

In related news, Japanese scientists have been working on developing universal blood—a type that could be compatible with all existing blood groups. If successful, this breakthrough could revolutionize the way blood transfusions are handled around the world.

The discovery of Gwada Negative is a reminder of just how much we still have to learn about the human body. Beyond being a scientific milestone, it also highlights the importance of expanding blood donor registries, especially for those with rare types.

Pirates of the Caribbean Reboot: Original Cast Members Set to Return, Says Producer

Pirates of the Caribbean Reboot: Original Cast Members Set to Return, Says Producer.

After more than a year of ongoing rumors, it looks like the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is officially making a comeback. Legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer recently confirmed that some familiar faces from the original cast will be appearing in the upcoming reboot—although he's keeping their identities a secret for now.

“There will be some returning actors… but I won’t say who. You’ll have to guess,” Bruckheimer teased in a recent interview.

A Mix of Old and New Characters

While Disney has yet to release any official information—no title, no release date—what we do know is that the new installment will introduce fresh characters alongside returning favorites.

This news has naturally reignited speculation about which characters could be making a comeback.

Will Johnny Depp Return as Jack Sparrow?

One of the biggest questions among fans is whether Johnny Depp will return as Captain Jack Sparrow. Initially, Depp was not expected to be involved with the new project, especially after his very public legal battle with actress Amber Heard. He even stated that he wouldn’t work with Disney again, “not for $300 million and a million alpacas.”

However, according to reports from The DisInsider, Disney may secretly be developing a version of the film that includes Depp in a limited or cameo role.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has long supported Depp and hinted several times that he could return. In fact, Bruckheimer previously revealed that two different scripts are currently in development—one featuring actress Margot Robbie, and another that may include Depp.

Orlando Bloom Open to Reprising His Role

Another original cast member, Orlando Bloom—who played Will Turner—has also expressed interest in returning to the franchise. According to Bloom, bringing back the core original cast would be essential for a successful reboot.

Although Disney has not made any formal announcements regarding Pirates of the Caribbean 6, fan excitement continues to grow. With the possibility of both new characters and returning legends like Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, the reboot promises to offer something exciting for longtime fans and new audiences alike.

Jurassic World: Rebirth Gets Strong Early Reviews Ahead of Global Premiere

Jurassic World: Rebirth Gets Strong Early Reviews Ahead of Global Premiere

Jurassic World: Rebirth Gets Strong Early Reviews Ahead of Global Premiere.

The summer blockbuster Jurassic World: Rebirth is just weeks away from hitting theaters, but early screenings have already sparked a wave of reactions from critics—and most of them are overwhelmingly positive.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, known for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Godzilla, this new installment focuses on a fresh storyline: mutated dinosaurs carrying a unique form of DNA that could revolutionize medicine. This high-stakes concept sets the stage for an intense race among humans to control the powerful genetic material.

With Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali leading the cast, expectations for this rebooted franchise entry are understandably high—and the early feedback suggests the film delivers.

Critics Applaud Visuals, Cast, and Nostalgic Vibe

According to the first reviews, Rebirth may be the strongest revival of the franchise in years. Jazz Tangcay from Variety called it "a roaring triumph and the perfect start to a new trilogy," praising the new dinosaur designs and the film’s respectful nod to the 1993 original.

Perri Nemiroff pointed out that while CGI is heavily used, the director's approach makes it work. “Gareth Edwards shot in real locations and on film, and you can feel the difference. It’s immersive and grounded.”

Clayton Davis emphasized the film’s cinematic quality: “This isn’t just a popcorn flick—it actually feels like a real movie, and that’s a big plus.”

Mark Newbold echoed those thoughts, saying, “Great characters, a fantastic score, stunning cinematography, and amazing visuals. I already want to watch it again.”

Fun, Thrills, and a Bit of Heart

Maude Garrett noted the film balances tension with emotion. “Some parts are predictable, some are touching or even a little gross, but overall it’s a fun, nostalgic ride.”

Draven called it “a fantastic addition to the franchise,” praising how it captures the spirit of the original and pulls viewers right into the adventure.

TheConnorWebb went as far as saying, “The story might be silly, but who cares? It’s brilliant. The dinosaurs are phenomenal, and Jonathan Bailey might be one of my new favorite actors. My heart was pounding, and I felt pure joy watching it.”

But Not Everyone's Impressed

Of course, not all reviews were glowing. YouTuber John Flickinger of The Flick Pick found the movie dull and soulless. “The mutated dinosaur concept on a new island had potential. But what we got was a sequence of scenes that don’t go anywhere. I actually started rooting for the dinosaurs because the human characters were so bland and had zero chemistry.”

Global Release Date Confirmed

Jurassic World: Rebirth is set to premiere in international theaters on July 2, 2025. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the franchise or just looking for a thrilling summer movie, this one is definitely worth keeping on your radar.

Tesla Kicks Off Robotaxi Service in Austin, But a Safety Monitor Still Rides Along

Tesla Kicks Off Robotaxi Service in Austin, But a Safety Monitor Still Rides Along

Tesla Kicks Off Robotaxi Service in Austin, But a Safety Monitor Still Rides Along.

Tesla has officially rolled out its highly anticipated Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, starting this weekend. While many expected a fleet of fully autonomous vehicles, the reality is a bit more cautious.

Each Model Y selected for the service will still have a Tesla employee on board—known as a "safety monitor"—sitting in the front passenger seat. Their job is to oversee the trip and step in if anything goes wrong.

Who Can Use It? Only a Select Few

This isn’t a wide-scale public launch. Tesla is limiting access to invited users only, and there are several restrictions in place:

• Only users who receive a personal invite from Tesla, such as influencers or brand advocates, can access the service.

• Trips are limited to a specific area within Austin—Robotaxi currently doesn’t go to airports.

• Operating hours are from 6:00 AM to 12:00 midnight.

• Passengers must be at least 18 years old.

• A linked debit or credit card is required to book a ride.

• Service may be paused or restricted during bad weather.

Passenger Rules You Need to Know

Tesla has also put in place strict rules for those using the service:

• No smoking, vaping, drinking alcohol, or using illegal substances inside the car.

• Do not record any vehicle features that aren’t publicly available yet.

• Passengers must remain polite and respectful—violating rules could result in loss of access.

• After the ride, passengers are encouraged to rate and review their trip in the app.

Still a Work in Progress

Tesla Kicks Off Robotaxi Service in Austin, But a Safety Monitor Still Rides Along.

Although this launch doesn’t fully match Elon Musk’s vision of driverless cars, it’s still a big step forward in the journey toward autonomous mobility. It’s clear the technology isn’t quite there yet—but it’s getting closer.

Apple Reportedly Exploring Acquisition of Perplexity AI to Challenge Google Search Dominance

Apple Reportedly Exploring Acquisition of Perplexity AI to Challenge Google Search Dominance

Apple Reportedly Exploring Acquisition of Perplexity AI to Challenge Google Search Dominance.

Apple is once again making headlines—this time not for a new iPhone or Mac, but because of its reported interest in acquiring Perplexity AI, a fast-growing AI-powered search engine that’s been gaining traction as a serious competitor to traditional search platforms.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is currently considering the possibility of acquiring Perplexity. While Apple has declined to comment on the matter, representatives from the startup claim they are unaware of any ongoing or upcoming merger or acquisition discussions.

Why Is Apple Eyeing Perplexity AI?

One major reason behind Apple’s interest could be the ongoing antitrust case against Google in the United States. Right now, Google Search is the default engine on iPhones—a deal that reportedly brings Apple around $20 billion annually. However, a court decision could overturn this long-standing agreement, pushing Apple to seek new search partners.

That’s where Perplexity comes into play. The startup recently reached a valuation of $14 billion, a significant number considering its relatively young age. If Apple goes through with the acquisition, it would be the company’s largest purchase ever, surpassing its $3 billion Beats acquisition more than a decade ago.

Acquisition or Strategic Partnership?

While rumors of a full acquisition are swirling, there’s also talk that Apple may instead form a strategic partnership. The idea would be to integrate Perplexity’s AI search capabilities into Apple’s ecosystem—perhaps within Safari or Siri. Sources suggest the two companies have already held multiple meetings to discuss potential collaborations.

However, Apple isn’t the only tech giant interested in Perplexity. The startup is also reportedly in talks with Samsung to embed its AI features into Samsung devices. If that partnership materializes, it could complicate Apple’s plans for exclusivity or a buyout.

What This Could Mean for iPhone Users

If Apple does move forward with either a purchase or a partnership, iPhone users could see a major upgrade in their search experience. Imagine asking Siri questions and getting intelligent, conversational answers powered by AI—seamlessly built into your device.

Galaxy S25 Edge Sales Fall Short, Forcing Samsung to Cut Production Early

Galaxy S25 Edge Sales Fall Short, Forcing Samsung to Cut Production Early

Galaxy S25 Edge Sales Fall Short, Forcing Samsung to Cut Production Early.

Samsung’s latest attempt at redefining its flagship lineup with the ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge hasn’t gone as planned. Despite its sleek design, high-end processor, and large display, the device has underperformed in sales just weeks after its late-May release.

The S25 Edge was initially positioned as a fresh alternative to the Galaxy S25 Plus, aiming to attract users with a slimmer profile and premium specs. However, it quickly became clear that consumer interest was lower than expected.

A High-End Phone That Missed the Mark

According to a report by GSMArena citing insider sources, Samsung has significantly reduced production of the Galaxy S25 Edge far earlier than usual. Typically, new smartphones are given at least three months to find their place in the market. But the Edge struggled to gain traction almost immediately.

Even with all its flagship features, the Galaxy S25 Edge failed to justify its price point for most buyers.

Key Reasons Behind the Weak Sales

Industry analysts point to several factors that contributed to the lackluster performance:

• Premium pricing with minimal innovation

• Few notable upgrades from last year’s models, apart from the thinner body

• Strong competition from rivals like Apple’s iPhone and Google Pixel

Essentially, consumers didn’t see enough added value to warrant a switch — especially with similarly priced alternatives offering more compelling features or ecosystem advantages.

Is the Galaxy Edge Line Dead?

Not quite. While this round didn’t meet expectations, Samsung is reportedly reevaluating its strategy. The company is still deciding whether the Edge model should replace the Plus version in the Galaxy S26 lineup. So while this first iteration may have stumbled, there’s still a chance Samsung will give the Edge concept another go — possibly with some key improvements.

Foldables Take the Spotlight

While the Edge struggles, Samsung is doubling down on its foldable phone segment. To stay ahead of potential import tariffs in the US, the company plans to increase shipments of the Galaxy Z Fold7 from 400,000 to 600,000 units in that market. Globally, Samsung aims to ship 1.34 million foldables, with the majority being the Fold7.

This pivot signals Samsung’s growing confidence in foldables as a long-term product category, especially as competition intensifies and consumer interest rises.

The Galaxy S25 Edge shows that slim design alone isn't enough to win over buyers anymore. With rising expectations and fierce competition, brands need to offer clear, meaningful upgrades. For now, Samsung appears to be shifting its energy toward foldables — a market where it still holds a strong lead.
