Stellantis Introduces Pop-Up Ads in Vehicles, Sparking Outrage Among Owners
Here’s some stupid news that isn’t related to politics: pop up ads are coming to a vehicle near you! (It’s a Jeep thing)
Tech Execs Plead for Great Firewall of America to Protect Them Against Scary Chinese AI
Idk man, the more ‘merica tries to ban stuff from China the more I want to use it. Currently learning Mandarin and surfing Xaiohongshu daily 🤷
Russia is building an electronic registry of LGBTQ+ citizens
…the Orwellian plan has been in discussion since last year after Russia’s Supreme Court outlawed the so-called “international LGBT movement” as an “extremist organization” at the urging of President Vladimir Putin.
In the US, state department employees are already being ordered to remove pronouns from their email signatures by the end of the day.
At this rate I don’t think we’re too far off from what Russia is doing here.
OpenAI Furious DeepSeek Might Have Stolen All the Data OpenAI Stole From Us
Every few days I see something that makes me think we are living in the dumbest possible timeline.
Ohio AG Dave Yost to Costco: Drop your diversity programs or else
Such blatant racism and homophobia. Shit like this is going on across the entire country. We are a fucking joke on the world stage.
Ohio Republicans want to make major changes to marijuana law approved by voters
Conservatives are full of great ideas lol I have no problem going back to Michigan for cheaper, higher quality weed 🤷
I don’t even know what to say lol
Denmark to pump $2bn into Arctic security as Trump eyes Greenland
Copenhagen announced on Monday that it will pump an additional 14.6 billion Danish crowns ($2.05bn) into security. The announcement came as the European country resists demands from United States President Donald Trump to hand over control of Greenland.
I sure hope there would be mass protests from our military if they were ever ordered to do something as fucking stupid as invading an ally.
What is DeepSeek and why is it disrupting the AI sector?
New AI from China is cheaper and more efficient than ChatGPT and actually open source.
The company has attracted attention in global AI circles after writing in a paper last month that the training of DeepSeek-V3 required less than $6 million worth of computing power from Nvidia H800 chips.
It’s hard to stick up for American companies like OpenAI when they burn through tens of billions in funding, aren’t actually open source and then completely changed their business model from non-profit to for-profit.
Elon Musk is being sued by the feds over the way he bought Twitter - The Verge
It’s hilarious that this is even a news story. Like as if it will have any repercussions whatsoever for Elon. It’s no different than how Jack Smith decided Trump is absolutely 100% responsible for the Jan 6th insurrection and if he was anyone else he’d be serving hard time, but in reality he doesn’t even get a slap on the wrist. Instead he gets to run the free world into the ground.
It’s just a thing that happened followed by a bunch of meaningless media coverage that translates to static.
It makes for good filler in between multimillion dollar advertisements, but it’s no different than watching an episode of Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones on digital cable.
They could fine Elon Musk $100 billion and it would have absolutely no noticeable effect on his life or his power as an oligarch.
2024 Word of the Year Is “Rawdog” - American Dialect Society
The verb rawdog is defined as “to undertake without usual protection, preparation, or comfort.” While the word originated as a vulgar slang term referring to having sex without a condom, rawdogging ended up crossing over into mainstream usage for a wide variety of activities, like the travel trend in which a passenger sits through a flight without any distractions.
Hmmmmm 🤨
Crazy to think the golden age of streaming has already came and went before we even knew it. Now it’s all corporate mergers to make executives richer while regular people keep paying more and more for shittier service.
They’re turning the internet into cable tv.
Crypto Platforms Like Polymarket Now Taking Bets on Los Angeles Fire Devastation
Wow crypto bros have hit a new low o.O
A dumb week for Apple
We’re living in a surveillance state run by oligarchs, but the surveillance is mostly to serve you the finest targeted ads. We are in the dumbest possible timeline.
I don’t know why I’m surprised about anything anymore lol

Clay Aiken says it was crucial to come out when he did even though he lost half his fans
“It was the first decision I made as a father,” he said at the time. “I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn’t raised that way, and I’m not going to raise a child to do that.”
This is one reason I’m so open about my bisexuality even though I’m in a straight relationship. I could hide it to fit in better, but I’d rather be honest about who I am. Also some straight people like to say a lot of terrible shit when they think a gay isn’t in the room with them.
MAGA civil war pits Ramaswamy and Musk vs Cernovich and Loomer in immigration fight
Elon Musk’s X is the town square for the MAGA movement, and by stepping into that square and firmly criticizing American culture – while praising the immigrant work ethic and parenting model – Ramaswamy threw down a gauntlet.
I thought they’d at least make it into the White House before the real infighting started 🍿
Headlights seem a lot brighter these days — because they are
Although the human eye can adapt to a wide range of light from sunlight to darkness, it takes some time to adjust. Especially for aging eyes, LEDs can be too bright, too blue and too concentrated.
This has been driving me absolutely insane lately. The LED headlights are bad enough, but if you’re in the more… rural parts of ‘merica you also have dipshits in jacked up trucks covered in cheap LED light bars from Walmart tailgating you in the slow lane.
‘Malcolm in the Middle’ cast to reunite for new episodes
Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek are reuniting for a new four-episode run of “Malcolm in the Middle” for Disney+ — 25 years after the beloved sitcom first launched.
I love this show. Who doesn’t? Hoping the new episodes will be a little longer since there are only four of them but either way I’ll take it!
Will Luigi Mangione’s tipster get the $60K reward? It’s complicated
…it’s not guaranteed that any one individual will get the full $60,000, especially considering taxes and the possibility of the reward being split between multiple people.
NYPD officials said more than 400 tips came in during the five-day period, with about 30 of them proving useful about the gunman’s whereabouts
Never trust a cop lmao this thing is going to pay out like a class action lawsuit.
