Sunrise at Bathurst 12 Hour, so pretty. #bathurst12hour

No no no. I'M the most incompetent person writing about tech. :P

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

FINALLY. Nice to see people outside the continent acknowledging this. Yay @tauriq.bsky.social

Random, but I do find it hilarious that Formula E pushes itself as a sustainable motorsport alternative, and then they display facts by Gemini during broadcasts lol

David Brooks is now the third alleged Jeffery Epstein associate at the New York Times.

This potentially includes A.G. Sulzberger, the current chairman of the NYT board.

The NYT published this piece by David Brooks about Epstein less than a month ago.

Why did their executive leadership allow this?

Would be hilarious if NASA astronauts on the moon mission took a Galaxy S25 Ultra on the trip, and their shots of Earth looked like the moon.

Was at my local Cell C store and asked the employees whether the network sold Moto phones.
"Hahahahaha nooo" was the response from both of them lol.

Kinda crazy though, and also sorta emblematic of Cell C's problems I bet.

Do people ever sing Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend when they see the sign

Hey Hey Ew Ew, I don't like your-

This Uber driver is playing Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. I didn't need to be happy today anyway.

I like how they equate having a computer next to a computer with using generative AI.

This is a pretty severe escalation from CBS, just straight up lying like this.

Okay granted, it's Schengen business visa vs US i/journalist visa. But applying for a Schengen visa is a far bigger headache than applying for a US visa. It never ceases to amaze me.

needs more beans lol

"Post toasties" is actually short for "post-apocalyptic toasties"

Random tech observation: Really seems like the LYT-828 will be the main camera sensor of choice for many flagship phones in 2026 huh? Vivo and Oppo already using it on their Pro phones, Moto tipped to use it on Signature and Fold devices.

A screenshot of a September 2020 video titled "certified young person Paul Rudd wants you to wear a mask". The screenshot is paused at the moment Rudd says "a few days ago, I was talking on the iPhone with my homie Governor Cuomo."

Going through my liked videos and forgot about this video. This aged well.

I have never seen anything more impotent than the EU right now. The US just invaded a nation for its own financial benefit, murdered dozens, disappeared the de facto leader, claimed governance and the oil - and has openly said Greenland is next, and our leaders are here going "oh well yeah haha"

They speak of justice while ruling through fear. They speak of sovereignty while stealing the vote. They speak of dignity while condemning their own people. I learned that those who insist the most on calling themselves "the good ones" are often the ones most afraid to face themselves. The Maduro regime wraps itself in flags, in anti-imperialist rhetoric, in a false epic where any criticism is labeled as betrayal. They claim to defend Venezuela, yet they stole the people's voice when they refused to respect the elections. That act alone strips away any moral authority. But do not be mistaken. The fact that a tyrant is real does not automatically turn an external aggressor into a savior. The United States does not act out of love for democracy. It acts out of interest. It always has. The language changes, the enemy changes, but the method remains the same: pressure, punishment, displays of power. And as always, the blow is not absorbed by those in power, but by ordinary people.

The Venezuelan people are trapped between two narratives that do not represent them. One that oppresses them from within, and another that exploits them from outside. One that claims legitimacy without real elections. Another that claims justice without taking responsibility for the human consequences of its actions. I do not defend Maduro. I point at him. But I also refuse to accept that a global power can appoint itself as a moral judge while its history is written in interventions, sanctions, and broken countries. Pain does not need propaganda. Hunger does not understand geopolitics. Dignity is not imposed with missiles, nor with dictatorships. While some sell themselves as the good ones to justify repression, and others sell themselves as the good ones to justify aggression, the result is always the same: more suffering, more rage, more generations learning that force replaces justice. And once again, pain is inherited.

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:

A screenshot of a machine-translated Weibo post from OPPO Find series manager Zhou Yibao. The post reads "I just finished my colonoscopy and gastroscopy, and the anesthesia is wearing off. The first thing I did was check Weibo to see everyone's product feedback."

You really can't accuse Oppo execs of being full of crap.

It's 2050. Qualcomm, AMD, Intel, and Microsoft are still trying to convince us that AI PCs are worth buying.

I feel like the original Jurassic Park truly speaks to what is currently going on in the world with GenAI

wtf a new Ace Combat?! FUCK YES.

Well done Lando. He really picked himself up well this season. Well deserved. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP

Let's watch the Mclarens doing nothing and ignore the Hamilton/Ocon battle. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP

What an incisive, brave move by Piastri. Wow. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP

Noooooooooooooooo. Hey EW is honestly one of my favourite things.

Huh, who would've thought 😅🤣

Yeahhh, I would.
