    There's something about Bobby that I find endearing. He somehow looks like a kid in the way he acts but his mind is clever and thoughtful… And the way he interacts to the reporter during the conversations feel enthusiastic and attentive. Anyway, I got really into this lol

    I make videos to showcase my art, not for views. I believe it depends on what you want Youtube for.

    "billions of us are broadcasting their lives on social media" it's the first sentence pronounced in the video and it's already dumb…

    As a viewer it takes a toll too. You follow these people, and you see their "lives" at least the bit of their lives they show you and you start envying them. You become dissatisfied with your own life, because you want that perfection you see on their channel. Also, you follow someone, you see them every day or every week, in these "this is my life" videos and you feel like you have a connection with that person. You feel like they are your friend. But they aren't your friend, they don't know you and you really don't know them. But because these channels aren't supposed to fiction, they are "reality", it can end up blurring the lines between reality and fiction. It does mess with one's head.

    The sad world of the "Youtuber". They are junkies, not to narcotics, but to endorphins and they degrade themselves for a fix.
    It was wrong to call them friends. You could say "Friends" very much in inverted commas.

    It's amazing how massively naive Stephanie Hegarty comes across in this video, surprised at the most obvious elements of the whole process. Of course it bad for people living a highly processed live, having to keep feeding the beast by churning out video's too keep those likes and subscriptions up, the high cost to the creator with great potential of little reward and the toll it can take.

    Bobby says it will be interesting to see what happens him and others that are making video's. I think he will either be forgotten, or as people are fickle, or a basket case from the repercussions of it.

    Identical situation are with cinema actors. They become famous and most of them had been quickly forgotten.

    Bobby is dope. He knew he has lot of problems in his life yet he don't want to address them and focus on superficial stuff like the most of us. I made this comment for validation. So, Like and validate my frigging life.

    Being an influencer most be full with anxiety and the quest for "likes", it's a sign of narcissism to always look for likes

    Sadly these people are living for their fans and followers not for themselves anymore.

    Ask yourself was that worth the old people of the UK being threatened with fines and prison to pay for?

    Technology is great, with limitless potential but too much exposure could severely impact the young and vulnerable who have not yet developed their character. They eventually develop this mindset that they need the approval of everyone around them while getting X amount of views.

    Maybe 10 years from now people will do completely different things.
    Things that don't even exist right now.

Trump fury as US court halts his $400m dollar ballroom project | BBC News

Published

on



Donald Trump has reacted furiously on social media, after his administration was ordered to stop construction of his personal project, a $400m ballroom at White House.

A federal appeals court has dealt latest setback to controversial project, testing Trump’s presidential authority. He has vowed to appeal to Supreme Court.

“Whether or not a ⁠massive ballroom should be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not a matter for Executive self-help,” panel’s majority said.

order upholds a preliminary injunction won by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which sued after the administration tore down the East Wing last year to begin the project without congressional approval.

The three-judge panel, in a 2-1 decision, said: “Each President is a temporary tenant, not the owner, of the White House and its Executive Residence.”

“The President has no – and claims no – constitutionally assigned authority over that property, which is designed and maintained for the use of all Presidents, current and future, and for the American people,” the judges said.

Trump railed against the “horrendous” and “politically motivated” decision on social media, highlighting the dissenting judge’s opinion that the order is “a blatant abuse of discretion”.

He said the military and Secret Service viewed the ruling as a national security threat.

Published

At least 132 people are dead and a state of emergency has been declared after Colombia was hit by one of its largest earthquakes in years.

The death toll is likely to rise, with more feared trapped under collapsed buildings.

The magnitude 7.4 quake struck at 07:34 (12:34 GMT) at a depth of 103km (64 miles) in Chocó province, the country’s geological service said. It was felt across an enormous area, stretching for hundreds of miles across western Colombia.

Many of the deaths have been concentrated in the city of Pereira, in Colombia’s coffee-growing region, with surrounding cities and the Valle del Cauca region also hit hard.

Who is to blame for the chaos on Spain’s border? | BBC News

Published

on



Why did tens of thousands of migrants from Morocco suddenly attempt to cross into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta by sea last week?

In the days since the sudden border crisis left at least 72 people dead, a variety of theories have circulated.

The Trump administration blamed the incident on “radical left-wing globalist policies”, and many European leaders condemned what they say is Spain’s lax immigration policy.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez denied those claims and blamed trafficking gangs. Others have blamed Morocco, and accused it of ‘weaponising’ migrants for political purposes.

We speak to the BBC’s Southern and Eastern Europe correspondent, Sarah Rainsford, to find out how and why the Ceuta crisis happened.

How one of the most “dangerous and predatory” men was left free to kill | BBC News

Published

on



If you’ve been affected by any of the issues raised in this video, information and support is available at BBC Action Line.

Convicted sex offender Simon Levy, 40, from Tottenham, has been found guilty of murdering two women and violently raping a third surviving woman.

Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 54, was found dead in the stairwell of a derelict building in Walworth, Southwark in March 2025 and Sheryl Wilkins, 39, was found dead in Tottenham, north London in August.

Levy, who was being risk managed by the Met, was also found guilty of two rapes, grievous bodily harm and intentional suffocation, against a third surviving woman in Tottenham in January 2025.

When Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo was murdered in March last year, the killer made no attempt to hide her body. She was discovered, with visible injuries, lying face-down in the stairwell of a derelict block of flats in south London.

The DNA of registered sex offender Simon Levy was found on Carmenza’s body and he was arrested on suspicion of murder by local officers. But he was released without charge and the Metropolitan Police decided not to pursue a murder investigation.

The BBC can now report in detail how, earlier this year, Levy was also convicted of sexual assaults against 10 women on the tube between 2023 and 2025, and the sexual assault of a prison officer in 2022.

BBC News has been following Levy’s case and can now reveal the multiple failings of the authorities, the Met, British Transport Police (BTP) and courts, which led to Levy being able to continue to harm women – and eventually kill two.

The Met has accepted that the life of Sheryl Wilkins could have been saved, had it not been for its failure to prosecute Levy sooner.

There has been a “collective system failure” and it is a “tragedy beyond words that I can express,” deputy assistant commissioner Kevin Southworth told the BBC.

He has apologised to Sheryl’s family, he says, for “any role that we’ve played in failing to protect her from this man”.

Detective Chief Superintendent Pete Fulton, from BTP, said that delays in carrying out ID parades on Levy “absolutely wasn’t good enough” and was down to “incompetence” by two officers who have since been moved to other roles.
