Explain to me any possible good this technology has? It's only for weirdos & creeps to surveil people. Because that's who Zuckerberg is, a creepy weirdo who started facebook to rate girls' looks. And now this is causing girls to be bullied at school. @hypervisible.blacksky.app

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Thou shalt NOT mock the sailors you’ve had on deployment for over 200 consecutive days without a break and say its “not enough” when you dodged the draft six times and called STDs your personal Vietnam and you spend all day drawing ballrooms and posting AI slop.

58 days of relentless resistance. 🦩 Albanians are standing up against land grabs, corruption, and authoritarian overreach to defend their public lands and democratic rights. When the people unite, real change happens. Keep raising your voices, Albania! 🇦🇱

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

The actress told the Hay Festival she is writing a film version of Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls to draw attention to sexual abuse in war zones

New York City since Mamdani was sworn in: a booming job market; a soaring economy; a very healthy real estate market; and the lowest crime numbers since Dwight David Eisenhower was president. Plus Trump think he's a very hot man. Bari Weiss and Jonathan Greenblatt have gone into a state of apoplexy

Mamdani’s New York Nets 40,000 New Jobs

A continuing boom on Wall Street keeps the economy expanding — even as tariffs, high inflation and rising rents take a toll.
