Media Watch lifts the lid on BYD bribing influencers and threatening critics — and some Aussie motoring journos took the cash while reviewing the very cars they were paid to promote.
Truth is, this kind of media manipulation isn't new — car companies have been wining, dining and quietly paying off reviewers since the dawn of motoring journalism. What's changed is how blatant and aggressive it's become.
This isn’t just bad ethics — it’s a public trust issue.

I helped produce the stills portion of the shoot for photographer Meron Menghistab (seen in image 3) and photographed some details and behind-the-scenes images to fill out the final profile. Alll five seasons of the project are available on the Black Arts Legacies and CascadePBS websites.

Das Bild zeigt eine atemberaubende Landschaft bei Sonnenuntergang. Der Himmel ist von dichten, grauen Wolken bedeckt, die sich in verschiedenen Schattierungen von Hellgrau bis Dunkelgrau erstrecken. Im Hintergrund ist ein sanftes Orange am Horizont zu sehen, das die Wolken durchdringt und einen Kontrast zu den dunkleren Wolken bildet. Die Wolken haben eine dichte, stratusartige Struktur, die den Himmel bedeckt und eine dramatische Atmosphäre schafft. Im Vordergrund sind dunkle Silhouetten von Bäumen und Hügeln zu erkennen, die sich gegen den Himmel abheben. Die Landschaft wirkt ruhig und friedlich, mit einer natürlichen Schönheit, die durch die Wolken und die Farben des Abendhimmels betont wird.

Carta agradadablemente tirabombas pegándole por izquierda al presidente de #Argentina que jugó al pastor evangélico en Resistencia el otro sábado, para general hilaridad. Se sacó una foto dramática también, que no reproduciré.
No son santos de mi devoción, pero por lo menos de esos nuevos movimientos religiosos no hay que temer que apoyen una ulterior degeneración fascista en nuestro país. Bueno, no de todos: ver abajo.
¿Alguien que tenga el teléfono de la Federación Argentina de Iglesias Evangélicas (FAIE), o de la Pastoral Social Evangélica, o de la Asociación de Iglesias Pentecostales de Argentina (AIPA)?
Porque la presunta carta abierta criticando al payaso asesino no la encuentro. O no tienen presencia en Internet ninguna de esa gente, o no existen, a pesar de la notuela de Pajita/12. (Quienes tampoco la reproducen ni la enlazan, porque PERIODISTAS. Hoguera de sus manuales de estilo, y agradezcan si paramos ahí.)
Actualizo: gracias a @gabrielP ahora tengo la carta del capo de otra federación, la Asociación Cristiana de Iglesias Evangélicas (ACIERA).
Como era de esperar, el pastor Norberto Saracco le explica amablemente que de teología no sabe un culo. Ojalá mis compatriotas entendieran que de economía tampoco.

Creo que seríamos mejor si fuésemos menos por ahí, diciéndole al resto lo que tiene que hacer. Pero si algo digo siempre, es que: "la crítica es MUY FÁCIL y la INTROSPECCIÓN, muy compleja".
Está claro que necesitamos alternativas ante la guerra psicológica del facho que nos deshumaniza, nos vulnera y maltrata, porque además están súper subiditos en su pony imaginario, que hace💩 en forma de criptomoneda.

"Trump has spent half a year boasting about how he is withdrawing our collective ability to help those facing personal and collective emergencies. The result is that everyone — local officials, mainstream media, social media users, even Grok — thinks of him as soon as there's a disaster."

I wanted to replicate the authentic look of playing a VCD on a CRT TV, so I tweaked VLC to give my RoboCop 2 VCD that classic “analog” vibe.
First, I enabled Deinterlace under the Video settings and set the Deinterlace mode to Blend for smoother motion.
Then, I went to Tools > Preferences, switched to All settings, and navigated to Video > Filters. To deepen the effect, I enabled these filters:
- Wave
- Video transformation
- Motion blur
- Deinterlacing
- Sharpen
- Mirror
- Gradfun
Below, you can see the results: the first image shows playback with no deinterlacing or filters applied, while the second displays the enhanced “analog” look with all filters active.

“Vibe-coding” was coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy this year to describe the process of using AI to translate natural language prompts into functional code. The practice has become widespread as startups vibe-code products and Big Tech companies demand employees use coding assistants like Cursor and Claude.
