Video from Jan 1, 2026, that popped in my feed and I completely missed.

lotta racism on here

Joking, of course! What an exceptionally noble and admirable way to begin drafting a constitution.

I know, I get it. Echo chambers are bad m'kay?

But hear me out. Most of the interactions I had on there were essentially me fighting against the news for about 11 years. Most of the people I argued with were reactionary and repeated everything on TV. It was frustrating and it was awful.

I gained little insight into what was going on by interacting with them, and in retrospect, I could've been no better off here. And honestly, I feel less on edge about current affairs being around people who get it. I'm one degree removed from crazy.

I'm glad there are spaces on the web where I can get away from all of that nonsense. So, I guess, in a sense, thank you for being here.

Imagine a taxi that can't operate in the rain. That is what Tesla has delivered in Austin TX.

These riders learned that the hard way, but don't have anything particularly negative to say about it... That's the advantage of only making a Robotaxi service available to hand-picked Tesla influencers.

human-driven technology goes brrrrr

"Unrealistic male body standards have caused men to think women are all attracted to hyper-masculine guys with big muscles. Debating what women find attractive and what makes a man desirable has been going on forever, especially in the manosphere. Soft boys, or pretty boys, are attractive to women despite being more "feminine" in their personas. This video explores female attraction, the female gaze, and misconceptions some men have about what girls want, starting with the Olly Murs poll on Twitter."

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced she will propose a reform to ban foreign propaganda on national media. The move follows backlash over U.S. government ads aired in Mexico showing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warning illegal migrants they will be "hunted" and deported. Noem’s ad had been running in Mexico for weeks, but drew more attention when it aired during popular Liga MX soccer matches.

Sheinbaum criticized the ads as “highly discriminatory" and said the U.S. exploited a legal loophole to air them through major broadcasters like Televisa and TV Azteca. Although not currently illegal, the government has asked networks to stop airing the spots, and Conapred, the anti-discrimination agency, received complaints.

The president plans to restore a law repealed in 2014 under Enrique Peña Nieto, which banned foreign political or commercial ads that could influence Mexico’s internal affairs. Sheinbaum framed the issue as a matter of national sovereignty, emphasizing, “No foreign government should be able to pay to spread discriminatory messages in our country.”
