Trump threatened that a “whole civilization will die tonight,

I haven’t seen any news media yet show the courage to call this what it is, a threat of genocide.

Sure, but the source of the problem is people with Main Character Syndrome that don’t think twice about setting up camp right in the flow of traffic, all for those sweet, sweet fake internet points, or to park their shopping cart across the middle of the aisle while they ponder exactly what flavor of free range organic ketchup they want this week.

what’s behind Japan’s ‘bumping’ trend?

The author is constantly trying to make this a “gender dynamics” thing, but I knew the cause before reading the article. It’s sprinkled throughout…

while some wondered if it was wise to take photographs in the middle of a packed intersection.

At the very end of the article, the author finally cones around to the simple answer.

She said she had been criticised and insulted online for taking photos of her daughter, who was uninjured, on a pedestrian crossing.

“I admit I may have been careless about the flow of people. But it wasn’t like I was ignoring traffic rules,” she said, adding that she had been following Chinese-language advice provided on Go Tokyo, a website run by the Tokyo Convention and Visitors Bureau, which tells visitors they “can even stand at the intersection and take a picture”.

All three streamers were then held in January last year but released after they insisted the on-screen violence was all part of “an act aimed at creating buzz so as to earn money”.

Act or not, I cannot quantify the utter disdain I have for anyone who wants to watch garbage like that. Absolutely shitty human trash, every damn one of them.

I found a bunch of “reputable” news sites all talking about this as if it just happened. I had to really dig to find something actually posted a year ago, but… there it is.

I fucking hate this “rush to publish, fact check later never” news cycle.

So, the date in the video above seems to be intentionally misleading. Downvoting.

Where are you getting that information? The article very clearly indicates that this happened on Jan 20, 2026, and there’s no date that I see visible in the video (in the article).
