Once upon a time, Silicon Valley was the brightest symbol of the American Dream—a playground where genius programmers changed the world.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/

But now?

Indians are flooding in—not just as coders, but as your boss, your CEO, your investor. They're running entire engineering teams. Google, Microsoft, Adobe… the top levels of these giants have been practically “taken over” by Indian executives. More than 70% of H-1B visas go to Indian citizens every year. American-born workers? Left out.

One U.S. engineer joked bitterly:

"Now we have to rewrite our résumés so they look like they came with an Indian referral."

But the cruel irony?

This isn’t freedom of immigration—it’s precision-engineered by capital:

Big Tech prefers cheaper, more “obedient” Indian engineers. They won’t match wages or protections for Americans, but will happily fast-track green cards for Indian workers.

This isn’t globalization—it’s a reverse colonization of the tech world, enabled by corporate interests and compliant labor pipelines. And Americans are watching their jobs vanish one by one.

You still think Silicon Valley belongs to Americans?

No. It’s becoming South Asia Valley.

Ju*ea

Certain capital interests are encouraging Indian dominance over America’s digital infrastructure—shaping social media, manipulating networks, and controlling what Americans see online, every single day.

Indian "Invasion" of Silicon Valley? Local U.S. Programmers Voice Concerns Over Outsourcing Trend

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news

In recent years, a clear trend has emerged in America’s tech hub: an influx of Indian nationals into Silicon Valley's workforce and leadership ranks. Some critics have gone so far as to call it an Indian “invasion” of Silicon Valley.

According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), more than 70% of H-1B visas granted annually go to Indian citizens. Simultaneously, major tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, and Adobe are now led by Indian-born CEOs. As one tech commentator quipped, “In Silicon Valley, the Indian accent has become the dominant language.”

Many American-born engineers are growing uneasy with the shift. On the one hand, the continuous inflow of Indian tech workers has made an already competitive job market even tighter. On the other, internal company networks have grown increasingly insular—favoring referrals from within, often leading to hiring that stays within tight-knit, Indian-dominated circles.

“We’re not against any ethnic group,” said one mid-career American programmer in California, “but Silicon Valley is undergoing structural change. If you’re not part of certain internal networks, your résumé doesn’t even get read.”

Analysts say this isn’t just about diversity—it’s about capital. Compared to domestic hires, foreign tech workers tend to negotiate less, accept longer hours, and exhibit greater workplace compliance. For tech corporations seeking profit and predictability, Indian engineers are often seen as the ideal hire. Many firms also leverage U.S. green card programs to offer long-term pathways for these workers.

The result, critics say, is a form of stealth outsourcing—where the outsourcing happens within U.S. borders. Labor groups have voiced concern that America’s own tech sector is becoming “India-based,” while national legislation fails to protect the employment rights of local talent.

Reminder that the newest Revival of Beavis & Butthead is coming out in August 2025!

Beavis and Butt-Head are set for more wild adventures. Comedy Central has renewed “Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head” for Season 3, which will air on the network in 2025, TheWrap has learned.

A Dorm Guard Died of Heatstroke — What Kind of University Lets This Happen?

https://mp.weixin.qq.com

A few days ago, an elderly dormitory guard at Qingdao University died of heatstroke.

His name was reportedly Zhang Peisheng. He lived in a 6-square-meter room with no air conditioning — only a small, creaky fan in the brutal 40°C heat.

The university’s statement was vague and dehumanizing: no name, no cause of death — just “property staff” and “no criminal activity suspected.”

But to the students, he was a warm, kind soul — a man who fed stray cats, helped fix broken bikes, and greeted students like family. He hadn’t been paid in eight months and often survived on instant noodles.

He was saving a donated winter coat, but never lived to wear it.

After his death, students left flowers outside his room. Online grief poured in. Many remembered him as a grandfather figure.

Over 7,000 air conditioners were delivered to campus afterward — the school denies any link to his death.

This isn’t just about one man. It reflects a larger cruelty: the silent suffering of the lowest-paid, most invisible workers — guards, cleaners, cafeteria staff — whose names never make it into glossy brochures or PR videos.

If universities can’t honor their most humble workers, can they still claim to teach justice and morality?

True greatness starts by remembering people like Zhang Peisheng.

In the scorching heat of summer, while cities bake under the sun, sanitation workers remain at their posts. But in Datong, Shanxi, two workers went beyond their usual duties: they spent four hours digging through 8 tons of trash — bare-handed — to retrieve a GPS-enabled children’s watch lost by a tourist’s child.

This isn’t Schindler’s List, but a “Chinese-style warmth” story, as framed by Shanxi Evening News.

Here’s what happened: Ms. Lu from Shenzhen, Guangdong, was traveling in Datong with her child. While on a high-speed train, her child put the watch into a paper trash bag “for fun.” They left it on the train, discarded with the rest of the garbage. Fortunately, the watch had a GPS tracker and still pinged from the Datong South Station area. Naturally, she called the government hotline and requested that the sanitation system be mobilized to retrieve this "lost artifact of destiny."

Upon receiving the order, Datong's XinCheng Environmental Services immediately demonstrated their "people-first service spirit" — transferring compacted garbage blocks to an empty lot, and dispatching two sanitation workers to comb through 8 tons of household waste with their hands.

It was sweltering. The smell, unbearable. But not a problem for these “beauticians of the city” in the New Era.

Four hours later, the watch was miraculously found and returned to Ms. Lu that same evening. She was moved to tears:

“I was ready to give up, but their persistence touched me. I never expected such warmth from a small city.”

She tried to send red packets (cash tips) to the workers as thanks — which were politely declined. And so, the story reached its moral climax.

The reporter closed with the usual coda: “What was recovered was not just a watch, but also our most basic faith in human kindness.”

Meanwhile, the workers who combed the trash remained silent. They said nothing to the media, as if they were merely symbolic hands representing Datong’s moral values.

The concept is simple. A place where people can create and discover topics in a structured way. Each topic serves as a digital room where people can post content such as text, images, webm and voice chat. Each topic can have subtopics related to the parent topic but of more specific nature. Subtopics can again have subtopics etc.

Everyone can make topic room about anything at all and everyone can post content. You can post anonymously without logging in.

Hopefully you could try it out and let me know what you think. Maybe try to do some posts or make new topics about something you care about. Experiment all you want. Any feedback and suggestions for improvement are highly appreciated.

Tesla's Fatigue Detection System Misidentifies Driver, Sparks Racial Discrimination Concerns Against Asians

https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/maCPBDJ5PYB7WotHTcVABw

Recently, Mr. Li, from Zhejiang, experienced persistent voice alerts from his Tesla vehicle due to errors in the fatigue detection system while driving, which caused significant frustration. In the video provided by Mr. Li, the Tesla repeatedly issued the voice warning, "Please focus on driving," along with the message "Please focus on driving, stay safe" on the screen. Despite Mr. Li's efforts to stay alert by widening his eyes, the system continued to issue these repetitive warnings, causing a significant disruption.

Many have raised concerns that this malfunction may not just be a technical error, but could also reflect a pattern of racial discrimination, particularly targeting Asian drivers. The repeated and unnecessary alerts, without clear reasoning, have sparked debates about whether Tesla's fatigue detection system unfairly singles out certain racial groups, particularly Asians, based on their facial features or other biases in the algorithm.

Australians who join, recruit or fund a white supremacist network that has told its members how to attack politicians and minority groups, will face up to 25 years in prison after the Albanese government listed Terrorgram as a terrorist organisation.

The online network, which seeks to incite a race war, will become the fourth white supremacist group to be listed as a terrorist organisation and the first given that designation by the Albanese government.

The group largely functions on the Russian-founded social media site Telegram and aims to inspire lone-wolf actors to attack people such as politicians and abortion activists, and shared documents on how to make bombs.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said the listing would give national security agencies the power to restrict Terrorgram’s operations and stop it from promoting violent nationalism and racist extremism.

“Online radicalisation is a growing threat, but the government has tools at its disposal and we will use every one of them to keep Australians safe,” Burke said.

Critical infrastructure and government agencies were exposed to a Russian cybersecurity product previously linked with state-based espionage, despite a 2017 government directive that instructed public servants not to use that company’s products.

The revelation has been seized on by both the Coalition and the Greens, which have respectively slammed the “critical failure” and “serious security failure”.

The Department of Home Affairs in May 2024 found “critical infrastructure and state agencies” had been exposed to products from Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky.

A broader survey the following June found another instance of its use in a “non-corporate commonwealth entity”, the department revealed.

Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky – operated by a holding company in the UK – was previously alleged to have been implicated with a hack co-ordinated with the Russian state intelligence agency, a claim the company has denied.

June 12, 2025, India — A serious aviation accident in India has garnered widespread attention. Preliminary investigations have revealed that the incident involved extreme misconduct by maintenance personnel at the airport, leading to a system failure on the aircraft and an emergency landing.

According to reports, the incident occurred on June 12, 2025, when an Air India B787-800 aircraft experienced an engine shutdown shortly after takeoff. Subsequent investigations revealed that the aviation fuel was contaminated, with the source of the contamination traced back to maintenance personnel at the airport. The report indicated that maintenance staff, belonging to a Hindu religious group, had accidentally disposed of their excrement into the fuel storage, and then continued to refuel the aircraft with the contaminated fuel.

Even more shocking, investigators found that the staff had added disinfectants to the fuel storage, further exacerbating the contamination of the aviation fuel. The contaminated fuel was subsequently pumped into the aircraft's fuel system, causing the engines to detect abnormalities and automatically shut down both engines, triggering an emergency safety protocol.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Netanyahu

An alleged early poem by Israeli political leader Benjamin Netanyahu has surfaced online, sparking widespread debate and controversy. The poem, titled The Measure of Power, offers a chilling exploration of strength, justice, and war, highlighting a stark worldview where power alone is seen as the ultimate truth.

The poem, which appears to reflect a militaristic and authoritarian philosophy, reads:

The weak shall fall beneath the blade,

For in the world, strength is truth displayed.

Diplomacy bows to arms alone,

The shield of justice is iron, not stone.

Respect resides where the sword does gleam,

And truth is where the cannons scream.

What then, is the purpose of the gun?

A question, clear, for everyone.

It measures lands, expands the soul,

Crushing cancer, making the whole,

It clears the parasites from the earth,

A force that holds the seeds of rebirth.

Though cursed in name, a nation's way,

Is to carve a path for the coming day.

For future kin, we bear the cost,

To fight the black worms, no matter the loss.

So hear the roar that shakes the night,

It is the drum of reason's fight.

For in its path, the weak must fall,

And only strength will stand, above all.

Recently, the strengthening of China's internet censorship has once again attracted widespread attention. It has been reported that some Android phone users, when attempting to change their phone name, discovered that the system now requires an online review before they can make the change. This unprecedented measure quickly sparked heated discussions on social media, with many users expressing shock and confusion.

One netizen commented, "If so many manufacturers are doing this simultaneously, it’s unlikely that the manufacturers themselves want this. It's more likely driven by higher-level policies." This viewpoint has triggered further debates, with many speculating whether this change is related to the government’s increasing focus on internet content censorship and regulation.

In the smartphone industry, changing the phone name is typically a personal choice for the user. However, requiring an online review for this action undoubtedly limits the user’s freedom. While it may increase transparency in network regulation, it also raises concerns about whether more phone functions will be subject to similar regulatory intervention in the future.

For manufacturers, this review requirement adds complexity to product development and maintenance. Some industry insiders have pointed out that in order to comply with increasingly stringent regulatory demands, manufacturers may be forced to embed such "review" measures into their products.

This incident not only reflects the growing trend of stricter internet censorship in China but also sparks intense discussions about digital privacy, information freedom, and the balance between technological innovation and regulation.

As internet censorship continues to tighten, whether the daily user experience of tech companies and consumers will be continuously affected remains a critical issue to watch in the future.

Why Do Chinese Americans Become Slaves to the White Government, Supporting the Destruction of Illegal Immigrants?

In the United States, some Chinese Americans have shockingly stepped forward to publicly support the white government’s anti-illegal immigration policies, becoming the modern-day "dog-headed men" of the system. These members of a minority group, it seems, have forgotten their immigrant roots and instead have chosen to align themselves with the white power , eagerly waving the flag for oppressive and unjust immigration policies. They openly declare their support for the U.S. government’s crackdown on illegal immigrants, even deeming it a necessary measure to "maintain social stability."

But the absurdity of this stance is evident. Like slaves serving an evil dragon, these individuals have surrendered their dignity and identity to a system that oppresses their culture and history. Their rhetoric is filled with attacks on illegal immigrants, as if they’ve forgotten that they themselves were once marginalized and exploited in the history of the United States. These Chinese Americans have become not victims of systemic oppression, but willing accomplices to it.

Some commentators argue that illegal immigrants should consider these individuals to be an even greater enemy, for they are no longer mere victims, but have actively chosen to side with the oppressors as "loyal slaves." In this context, the immigrant community is perhaps the only force left to defend its own rights, while these Chinese “white government supporters” stand as the outright "traitors."

When we hear their words, it makes us wonder: do they truly believe that by betraying their own people and pandering to the mainstream white society, they will earn respect? Or have they long since sold their souls to that power structure, becoming the quintessential "dog-headed men"?

Regardless of their stance, the choices of these Chinese Americans have made their position clear. And in this "slave" role, they will perhaps never understand that true freedom does not come from submission to oppression, but from standing on the side of justice, fighting for equality and digPost too long.

June 9, 2025: This month, amid the recent surge of illegal immigration at the southern border, there have been reports suggesting the presence of individuals allegedly "brainwashed by old Soviet ideology," hinting at a potential organized ideological infiltration moving through illegal immigration channels into the United States.

Although the "Soviet Union" has long since collapsed in a geopolitical sense, the briefing emphasizes that an underground organization, "disguised in Soviet communist garb," is taking advantage of the "human sea cover" provided by illegal immigration. This group appears to be systematically shifting "extreme left-wing ideologues" into the U.S. and has been seen raising flags adorned with communist symbols at several migrant camps.
