Update: Strong earthquake rattles western Japan, followed by several more shakes

I just subscribed to Britbox, it reminded me of the first time I went to the UK. I checked into my dark, wood covered room. I turned on the TV where I found a very British man describing train scenery which I fell asleep to for 14 hrs as the most soothing shows in the world played in the background.

On the same day that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro pleaded not guilty to drug charges, U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi said he planned to introduce legislation in Washington that would block federal funds from being used for U.S. military occupation in the South American nation.

Really irks me that the world biggest loser, who also happens to be the worlds dumbest man, a pedophile, a nazi, and all around gross baby, co-opted the aesthetic sci-fi futurism ruining it for all of us.

"what do you expect dems, who have NO POWER, to do???" and then they do this 8 times a month

Wake me up when Mark Kelly stops voting to confirm Trump's nominees.

It’s so fucking sick that Stanford is *felony* prosecuting their own students for a ONE HOUR PROTEST inside the president‘s office. Crime? Barricading themselves for ONE HOUR

Everything is bad, but the amount of good - really, really, good - music coming out at all times is unparalleled.

“92-year old judge” is not a term that should exist. We badly need reform at basically every level and branch of govt in this country

Oh so it doesn't count as a war, which you guys claimed to be against, if you don't cross the Atlantic

At Northern State Recreation Area, there's a secluded spot where hikers can share memories and thoughts with someone they've lost and maybe even find some closure.

the overlap of the top 100 with my blocklist is stunning

“The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funded NPR, PBS and hundreds of local radio and TV stations across the United States for more than a half-century, said on Monday that its board of directors had voted to dissolve the organization because Congress cut off its federal money.”

It's not just Grok folks. OpenAI's Sora and TikTok are both being used to distribute sexualized images of minors, often with links to platforms like Telegram where actual CSAM is distributed. www.wired.com/story/people...

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jan 7 ErinReed: Far-right WA political group collects 400k signatures (about 5% of voters) in support of school sports ban. It is one of one of the first serious attempts to bring a major & explicitly anti-trans law before states' liberal voters.

well this systematic exclusion of women from public life and dignity is no match for all that prompt engineering we are now required to teach students

ITS NOT A JOKE ITS CSAM

Imagine being a dirt poor peasant, never venturing beyond the fields around your village, conscripted by a feudal lord to go fight for “prestige” and “honor,” concepts you barely understand, stopping for a sip of water and the last thing that passes through your mind is the tip of this dude’s arrow

I don't even live in MN and I'm already extremely annoyed by the prospect of Gov Klobuchar

I had a friend go visit her and she’s in solitary and scared- she is at the Three Forks Regional Jail in Beattyville and you can put money on her books

What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.

It would be hugely positive if the people of Iran succeed in overthrowing the oppressive regime which rules them. It would be hugely negative if the US or Israel intervened and gave the regime an external enemy to try and unite the country against. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
