Tesla makes ugly things

LOOK

What in the back to the future reject is this?

Who approved this? Look at the windshield wiper!! I am shedding real tears right now guys!!!

Hey Elon if you need a designer I am available. I have 0 experience but I can certainly do better than this!!

After the photo leak Elon Musk commented:  “No easy solution. Deployable wiper that stows in front trunk would be ideal, but complex.”

What’s not complex about the cyber truck?

Scheduled to start shipping in spring 2022 you too can look like a over compensating idiot in your dump truck.

BTS ain’t nothing to play with!!

Over on twitter the team is doing there yearly round up of the world’s popular tweets. And nestled in between Presidents, vice presidents and former presidents. We have a kissy face Pic from BTS member Jungkook that wracked up 3.2 million likes. 3.2 MILLION!! For kissy face.

WHAT did I just write!

But they do use their powers for good. The most retweeted tweet comes from the group as well. The tweet is a response and statement about the rash of Asian hate crimes in America.  So, getting that word out was extremely positive.

I will not say anything else about BTS because their fans are relentless and will have my head in days.

Or maybe not!

Remember Wikileaks?

Yeah… that’s coming back to rear its ugly head.

Julian Assange may see a US jail cell. But he is currently fighting extradition.

Assange has been indicted by US prosecutors on 18 counts, including 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse. He’s accused of conspiring to hack into US military computers in order to publish confidential military and diplomatic documents on WikiLeaks. 

And like most sane people he doesn’t want to go to jail.

So, he sought refuge in Russia than Ecuador and now HM Prison Belmarsh in the UK.

The fight continues for Assange.

But this time it is for a noble cause. Redditors are trying to take Kellogg’s down.

The deets: Kellogg workers are on strike for more than two months over stalled union negotiations with the company.

Over 1400 workers are striking. And Kellogg is looking to hire permanent workers for there plants covering multiple states.

Reddit is having none of it!

On the subreddit r/antiwork found out about the problem and did what needed to be done.

They spammed the job posting to make it virtually impossible for recruiters to find viable candidates.

And their efforts have been beyond successful.

Hiring candidates have not been fruitful.

Keep up the good fight Reddit

MB took the time to fix a server issue with its electric vehicles. The bug would allow drivers to watch TV, scroll Instagram and other entertainment options on its 56’ hyper screen.

Which could be a little distracting.

 A recall has been issued for the car by the German car maker.

So great news…. They don’t want you to die!! Because that’s what happens when you watch TV and drive.

NFT Girlfriends are a thing!

IMAGE SOURCE: BULL MARKET GIRLFRIENDS

Yes, people are paying real money for fake girlfriends.

The concept is like any other NFT. Its all about the exclusivity. And people are spending upwards if

$25,000.

But for way less money you could have a real girlfriend.

Just my thoughts!

PIRATE BAY- THE SEQUEL NFT’s on The Bay

PIRATE BAY- THE SEQUEL NFT’s on The Bay

It’s like 2003 all over again. For those of you, born after the 2000s. You might not be aware of what Pirate Bay is.

Well, it’s a secret, not so secret place where angsty teenagers used to download and pirate music and movies.  And you would tie up the phone line for hours. And you mom would yell about not being able to gossip with the Aunt Sheila.

Now that’s out the way.

NFT’s are all the rage now. And if you don’t know what an NFT or non-fungible tokens is, it’s basically a picture that you own the rights to and no one else can distribute or use it without your express written consent.

And this new reimagine Pirate Bay is trying to demolish that by basically making it so you can reproduce and reuse the once original and NFT. And that would in turn dismantle the system that is NFT.

See the problem?

Making something that is supposed to be exclusive available to everyone eliminates the novelty.

Folks on the twitterverse are weighing in on the morality of this which is hilarious in itself.

Another day another Hack!

Hackers gonna Hack!!! But the hack against Syniverse is a major breach for millions of people. And these hackers were playing the long game. This hack can be traced back to 2016. Yes, you read that right! 2016.

This hack went undetected for 5 years. Syniverse services the tech giants like AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and several others.

A group of seven have brought 2 lawsuits against the tech company. Accusing negligence and exposing sensitive information of its customers. Which looking at a hack that lasted 5 years undetected seems fairly accurate.

Syniverse has not made any comments or statements.

This story is ongoing and was originally posted on Vice News. See link below.
