So Meta failed to learn anything really from the 'Glasshole' debacle of 2013 tinyurl.com/4knynzs8 'Smart' and AR enabled glasses have a place across the built environment, construction and maintenance, public spaces though...still way too soon.
Restaurants, pubs and theatres ban Meta’s ‘spy glasses’ over privacy fears
Meta says safeguards are in place to prevent surreptitious filming, but some UK venues now prohibit them from being worn at all

This is a perfect encapsulation of enshittification of work and personal life all under the guise of ‘-maxxing’ with AI as the key driver.
We don’t have vast resources to call on in the Uk which could allow us to ignore the city & bond markets,but successive govts slavish approach to mollifying them is having real lasting and damaging effects on Joe Public.Capitalism in its current form is broken & until its fixed it we are f*cked.
The Chartered Institute of Housing has provided a useful myth busting document about migrants, and housing. Given the level of disinformation out there, I'd highly recommend reading and sharing. www.cih.org/blogs/dispel...
Dispelling myths about migrants and housing to the UK
CIH dispels common myths about what it really means for asylum seekers coming to the UK, particularly where it comes to housing rights and public services.

@theguardian.com fascinating article on enhancing female service members capabilities tinyurl.com/5b23a6zw However the image accompanying the article looks AI generated,DPM uniform phased out in 2016,wrong type of jump wings,sniper rifle etc.No other images of female combat servicewomen available?

Like is Putin not even bothering to hide that he directs Trump now? 90 min call and then we get the ridiculousness of Greenland again?
Vox Pop on the weather this morning throwing up the usual "It's just hot weather" "Happens every year" No, No, No. We are closing schools, infrastructure is failing, humidity is brutal. How many signs do we need to be given to start doing something to adapt?
Interesting. Useful idiots on SM kept talking about "Starmers Rent Boys" for the LOLS. Well done you melts, tools of an aggressor nation, nothing more patriotic than that is there, FFS.
Peter Jukes@peterjukes.bsky.social · 2mo agoMore trouble for Tommy Robinson. He’s been working with Russia propagandists to incite violence in the UK well before fuelling pogroms in Belfast last week, from his well heeled perched in Moscow with agents like Malofeev BBC report t.co/xTQuLCVNDa
So the govt recognises the toxic impact SM has on youth but still uses toxic SM platforms to communicate, have I got that right…?
Nice little slice of NYC in London this morning in an unexpected place just off Great Portland Street. The vibe is very Bodega’ish so kicking the day off with coffee and breakfast bagel @jabd.bsky.social @johnlorehound.bsky.social @elysiacb.bsky.social
I feel sorry for fans like this but also everyone was warning how capricious the US immigration system has become.Another demonstration of “It won’t happen to me” and should be lesson for everyone, believe it or not”will happen to you” at some point…

The issue that makes voters angriest of all
It’s housing. There simply aren’t enough homes. Successive governments have promised to solve the problem, but none of them have managed it, perhaps knowing any policy would benefit their successor. I...

So turning up for a ruck with coppers means you are ‘protesting’ calling for ‘cold rage’ is a ‘political viewpoint’ interviewing a scrote who throws chairs at coppers is an expression of ‘frustration and anger’ Just do one, f’ckin Nazis.
Seeing a fair few 'common sensers' trying to poke holes in the fact that we have had record breaking temperatures, last recorded 80 odd yrs ago.Framing it as some sort of gotcha, these temps are in MAY, not high summer.Regular higher than normal temps point to something,something not good.
This is why it was a singularly bad idea to commodiitise something that humans can only survice without for three days...https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/28/anger-kent-south-east-water-outages
Clear sign Wes just aint up to the job www.theguardian.com/politics/202... If you want the big chair then take it (not that it will do the blind bit of good for Labour or the country if you did)this is weak sauce.
Streeting in standoff with No 10 as allies claim ‘things are shifting’
Source claims Streeting has enough support to challenge Keir Starmer but he is still hoping PM will resign
theguardian.com
Like in what universe do labour MP's see Wes Streeting as the answer.If he challenges Starmer,if he wins,does anyone seriously see him taking the party into the next general election?Politicians are fiddling while Rome burns and on the horizon you have the Reform barbarians ready to storm the gates.

So let me get this straight US & Israel close the Straight of Hormuz through its actions and are now looking like they are going to walk away and expect the rest of us to clean up this shit show…
So let me get this straight. Trump doesnt need us, thinks we are useless, along with EU and NATO. But now we are terrible friends and allies if we dont come and help clean up his potty.
Steve Witkoff“I think the President’s position is that we do plenty for Europe,plenty for the UK,in the area of trade,in the area of defence,in the area of the support we give to NATO. And I think sometimes the response back, the reciprocity back, is a little bit lacking...”
