Sounded familiar, so I checked and it's from 4 years ago.
Faced with these serious allegations, Cuomo at first attempted a bizarre defence. “I’m not perverted, I’m just Italian,” is how Fox News characterised it, which was amusingly accurate. Cuomo suggested that the fact that some women had perceived sexual abuse might be attributed to differing “generational or cultural perspectives”. In a video statement, he proceeded to show lots of photographs of him kissing people in public – a gesture, he said, that is intended to show “warmth”. He further admitted that he sometimes calls people “sweetheart”, as if that were his greatest fault.

Earlier this month, another disgruntled Brit slammed a tourist hotspot in Greece for serving "no English food" - describing it as "the [worst] holiday I've ever been on".
Susan Edwards, 69, from Westerhope, in Newcastle, said the all-inclusive TUI getaway to Corfu offered guests "no hot bacon or sausage", but a buffet of salads, fish and rice, which she was "sick to death of looking at" by the end of her trip.

A British pensioner was left in tears after her Benidorm holiday because there were "too many Spaniards" at her resort. The coastal city is well-known as a mecca for Brits abroad, but Freda Jackson's expectations of being surrounded by fellow tourists during her trip may have pushed the stereotype to its limit.
The pensioner from Blackburn in Lancashire, who is in her eighties, raged over the number of locals she saw during her summer break in 2018, insisting that Spaniards should have "gone somewhere else for their holidays". While protests against an influx of foreign tourists has defined discourse across European travel hotspots in recent years, Ms Jackson's complaints tackled an entirely different issue. "The hotel was full of Spanish holidaymakers and they really got on our nerves because they were just so rude," the grandmother-of-six said.
"The entertainment in the hotel was all focused [on] and catered for the Spanish," she added. "[And] one evening, a Spanish guy nearly knocked me flying and he just walked off without even apologising."
The Brit said she and a friend had paid for the trip using their pensions, but claimed they were given a hotel room on a slope despite requesting flat-ground access, and were allegedly forced to travel 1,500 miles from Manchester Airport to Alicante after they weren't told their flight dates had been changed.
"I have never complained about a holiday before - but this one was a disaster from start to finish," Ms Jackson said. "My friend and I paid for it from our pensions and it was a struggle trying to fund it over 12 months. The holiday was totally ruined. I cried after."
A spokesperson for Thomas Cook said the pensioner wasn't told about the change to her flights until six days before departure due to a "system error".
"We are very sorry for the inconvenience this caused and are investigating to make sure it doesn't happen again," they added. "We ... offered Ms Jackson and her travel companion a gesture of goodwill to try and put things right, which we hope she will accept."

I have two main gripes with the video:
- Skyscrapers are overkill, just making middle density the norm in our suburbs would go a long way. Spanish cities can be used as inspiration.
- Supply alone won't fix housing unaffordability, which is also driven by privatisation of the housing market, cash-strapped local governments raising land prices after budget cuts and homeowners not wanting to see their homes lose value.
The channel as a whole gives me a bad vibe as well, it comes across as

The TTP investigation found that more than 200 X users including individuals who appear to be affiliated with Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and Syrian and Iraqi militia groups — all deemed foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) by the US government — are paying for subscriptions to Elon Musk's X.
Another Futurism.com banger I found alongside the other one I found.
Elon Musk's well-documented drug use made him an easy target for Russian secret service agents, former FBI agent Johnathan Buma told German television broadcaster ZDF during a recently aired documentary.
Buma said there was evidence that both he and fellow billionaire Peter Thiel were targeted by Russian operatives.
"Musk's susceptibility to promiscuous women and drug use, in particular ketamine, and his gravitation towards club life... would have been seen by Russian intelligence service as an entry point for an operative to be sent in after studying their psychological profile and find a way to bump into them, and quickly brought in to their inner circle," Buma told ZDF.
"I'm not allowed to discuss the details of exactly how we obtained this information," he added. "But there's a vast amount of evidence to support this fact."
Buma was arrested shortly after his interview with ZDF in March. His passport was confiscated and was temporarily released on bail.

A person showed this as proof of Miyazaki being a "diddler". Is it as damning as they make it out to be?

Tangent: when looking up Mamoru Oshii I found an interview where he compared the work culture at Studio Ghibli to a communist dictatorship ("communism is when capitalism"), because people of the 1960s "Anpo generation" (like Miyazaki) have "no morals" when they believe their cause is just...
