“Is it a little bit homophobic to focus on the straights of Hormuz rather than the gays of Hormuz?” No Kings protester, completely serious: “Yes, absolutely, I agree.”

@GamewithDave These two knew ball.

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

@HistoryBoomer @DanFriedman81

@DanFriedman81 That’s a different argument. I’m simply making the math point that more murderers does not automatically mean more danger.

For the statistically illiterate. A million people in a state with 50 murders every year, your murder rate is 50 per million. Add a million immigrants who do 1 murder a year, total murders goes up to 51, but that's among TWO million people. Your rate is 25.5 per million. The number of murders goes up, but each person in the city is actually safer. More murders does not automatically mean more danger. Population size matters. If we kidnapped the entire population of Japan and brought them to America, our number of murders would go up (Japanese people commit about 250 murders a year), but we'd become a much safer country (the Japanese murder RATE is far lower). Oilfield Rando's argument (more murders automatically means more danger) is bad math.

BREAKING: Kim Jong-un has won North Korea's parliamentary elections with 99.93% of the vote.

@sgfcitizen They finally tracked you down @KyleJNewbold

An Aurora man has been accused of exposing himself to four different women working at Republic businesses. Read it: sgfcitizen.org/government/cri…

JUST IN: Meta sold 7 million Ray-Ban smart glasses in 2025 alone. Workers in Kenya are watching the footage. Not metadata. Not anonymized clips. The actual videos. People undressing. People in bathrooms. People having sex. Bank cards. Medical documents. The blurring is supposed to protect privacy. It fails constantly. The contractors see everything. Here is the part that should stop you cold: You did not buy the glasses. You did not agree to the terms of service. You did not consent to anything. But if someone wearing Meta glasses walks into your bedroom, your bathroom, your doctor's office, your home, a contractor on the other side of the world may be watching you right now. The person wearing the glasses consented. Everyone else in the room did not. Meta's defense is that this is all disclosed in the privacy policy. They are technically correct. Buried in language so dense that 99% of users never read it. And even if they did, it would not matter, because the terms govern the wearer's data. Not yours. You are not a party to the contract. You are the product being annotated. Millions of AI-enabled cameras walking around in public. Recording constantly. Uploading to servers. Reviewed by humans earning a few dollars an hour to label your most intimate moments so the algorithm gets smarter. This is not a bug. This is the business model. The EU is already asking questions. MEPs submitted formal inquiries to the Commission this week demanding answers on GDPR compliance. The problem is obvious: European data protection law requires consent from data subjects. Bystanders are data subjects. Bystanders never consented. The entire architecture violates the regulation by design. Meta's response has been silence and a reference to terms of service that do not apply to the people actually being filmed. Google Glass died because people called the wearers "Glassholes" and banned them from bars. Meta solved the social problem by making the glasses look normal. They did not solve the privacy problem. They hid it. Seven million units sold in 2025. The installed base is accelerating. Every unit is a potential surveillance node operated by someone who may not understand what they are feeding into the system and reviewed by contractors who see everything the algorithm cannot process. The question is not whether this becomes a scandal. The question is whether the scandal arrives before or after the glasses are on 50 million faces. Watch the EU. If Brussels moves on GDPR enforcement, Meta faces a choice: disable human review in Europe and cripple the AI training pipeline, or accept fines that could reach billions. Neither outcome is priced into the stock. The glasses are selling faster than ever. The contractors keep watching. And somewhere right now, someone you have never met is looking at footage of you that you never knew existed.

So which is it @Petsmart

LeBron never did that

Days after John Thune said there wasn’t enough time to vote on the SAVE Act, it was revealed that senators instead held a dog parade inside the chamber, bringing their pets in for photos and celebration rather than advancing the election legislation.

🇰🇵 Kim Jong Un has been re-elected as General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea.

I am here for the inexplicable largemouth bass on the Team USA goalie’s helmet. Always be fishmaxxing, even in the Olympics.

The match is now going to sudden death, or as Canadians call it, “Free Health Care”.

@Oilfield_Rando So you’re saying this isn’t Unique?

The USSR engaged in the worst environmental pollution on the planet because of the exact same reasons that US Democrat controlled areas do.

@Oilfield_Rando You selling naming rights?
