Did you know that four years ago in the original Techno-Mage story-boards Girl had a love interest?!

And no he does not masturbate to the image. I am pondering of either seeing a psych doc with him or his PCP. Apparently this has been going on for the past 2 years.

So far, Americans using RedNote have said they don't care if China has access to their data. Viral videos on TikTok in recent days have shown Americans jokingly saying they will miss their personal "Chinese spy," while others say they are purposefully giving RedNote access to their data in a show of protest against the wishes of the U.S. government.

"This also highlights the fact that people are thirsty for platforms that aren't controlled by the same few oligarchs," Quintin said. "People will happily jump to another platform even if it presents new, unknown risks."

It’s little over five months since the Labour Party won the election. Yet a majority of the UK public are now opting for Keir Starmer to resign as prime minister, according to YouGov. 40% of respondents think he should resign, while 36% think he should remain and 24% don’t know.

Sen. Bernie Sanders today released the following statement ahead of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which is poised to begin on Sunday:

I am pleased that the Israeli security cabinet has finally approved a ceasefire agreement. My hope is that the destruction will soon end and that the hostages will finally be returned to their families. Sadly, the deal approved today is essentially the same agreement that Prime Minister Netanyahu and his extremist government rejected in May of last year. More than 10,000 people have died since that proposal was presented, and the suffering of the hostages and innocent people in Gaza only deepened.

Let’s be clear: On October 7, 2023, Hamas and its late leader, Yahya Sinwar, committed a barbaric terrorist attack on Israel, which killed 1,200 innocent people and took 250 hostages. Israel clearly had the right to defend itself against Hamas. The International Criminal Court (ICC) is correct in indicting Mr. Sinwar as a war criminal for these atrocities.

Tragically, Israel chose not to go to war simply against Hamas, but has instead waged an all-out war against the entire Palestinian people. In a Gazan population of 2.2 million, more than 46,000 people have been killed and 110,000 injured, according to the United Nations. A peer-reviewed study in the medical journal Lancet concludes that the total is much higher, with some 64,000 Palestinians killed. The vast majority of those dead are women and children.

Next week will have lots of political excitement going on, I'm sure. Despite that, hopefully you're having an OK week

I produced this video for The Gravel Institute a few years back before the organization folded.

It's popped off again recently for some reason. Maybe because everything has gotten worse?

The hashtag “Your turn, dictator” has been widely shared on Egyptian social media in the past two weeks. Modeled after the 2011 rallying cry “your turn, doctor” used against then-Syrian President Bashar al Assad, the latest hashtag was coined by Ahmad al Mansour, an Egyptian national who recently served in the ranks of Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS) in Syria. Since HTS took control of Syria in December, Mansour has posted videos threatening Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el Sisi. “Listen, stupid,” Mansour routinely begins his videos.

On Tuesday, January 14, the X account for the “The 25 January Revolutionaries Movement” announced that Mansour and several of his associates were arrested and went missing after he was invited to meet with HTS officials, including Syrian Minster of Defense Murhaf Abu Qasra.

The Supreme Court has affirmed TikTok's ban in the US, which has its users in revolt and is creating a whole new set of national cybersecurity concerns.
