Support for far-right triples in western German vote, early forecasts show [Reuters] you guys are in a world of trouble. All I demanded was a fucking $180,000 #GermanEngineering sedan. I asked this every day for seven fucking years. Meanwhile, the Democrats are losing ground in Germany, and the Far-Right is gaining grounds. This is appalling.

First Drive! Does the 2026 Nissan Leaf Turn Over a New, Uh, Leaf? [MOTORTREND]
What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, September 15th, 2025. It’s Monday so that means, Major Content Curation. Lots to digest, enjoy the content, and I will make a VLOG “Coffee with Zack” in English later today. Tomorrow is #916day in Sacramento. I really wish I could afford to wear a Sacramento Kings polo, with hat, and a new car to drive around downtown, park in DOCO, and eat at Punch Bowl Social and ACTUALLY PAY FOR DINNER MYSELF for me and my ex-wife. That’s what would have happened if I had a salary. I hate what #IntelCorp has done to me. I demand justice. 33,000 layoffs is not enough. I need a salary job. I need to work as a Project Manager immediately, if not, that means thousands of people at the Intel Folsom Campus are allowed to party all weekend long, and then they show up on Monday making presentations when I busted my ass working all weekend-long and all-night-long, and they take the credit and all the money, while I am without funding. This type of ordeal happens to A LOT of “ugly geeks” and “fat chicks” where they work like HOURS UPON HOURS, then some “beautiful people” do the Presentation, even though WE WERE THE ONES WHO DESIGNED THE PRESENTATION! This is bullshit! This is horseshit. This is why Tuesdays are for #GeeksNerdsOtakus. Because y’all take advantage of us. I remember a fratboy named Pulver who worked Marketing. There was ZERO REASON why I couldn’t do his job. Simply because I was not photogenic and not White. I’ve been doing marketing on Social Media since 2003 on FB, 2009 on Twitter and Instagram, and SOMEHOW I cannot get paid $60,000 a year for “Social Media Manager.” Alas, all these pretty-bitches can get paid for a few retweets and a few photos with 2 sentences? This is DISCRIMINATION. I want an injunction. You didn’t listen. It’s been 7 years without a salary. 33,000 layoffs got your attention. There will be more, UNTIL I get a salary. I know who is keeping me poor, I know he’s MOSSAD, and I’m gonna get INTERPOL to arrest him.
