This company is so uniquely toxic and awful.
Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

Incredible footage - a new video shows a full minute before an incident where an protest attendee was repeatedly punched by police. Both the Premier and NSW Police have told us not to judge 30 second videos because we don't know what preceeded them. Well...

Justice is not enough to get the world you want.
The just world fallacy exists because people refuse to see that the "justice" which it presupposes is predicated on violence which remains unseen and unfelt by the majority. Justice, as popularly understood (yes, even on the Left) involves violence -- social, physical, and, epistemic.
