Meta is putting a "Name Tag" feature in Ray-Bans - facial recognition through the glasses' camera. You look at someone, AI tells you who they are.
In an internal document, the company wrote that the timing is good because civil society groups are busy with politics and won't cause problems.

Noel’s been talking to me about this piece for weeks. I know I’m biased, but after reading it, I honestly don’t think anybody could have written it better.
Taylor Sheridan's politics may be hard to pin down, but his weary, know-it-all worldview is depressingly common.

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (!!!) is now publicly criticizing ICE. Oh, they're getting scared now. The backlash is being felt, and they don't want any part of this narrative.

I am really interested in this, sounds incredible
Just watched the world premiere of Once Upon a Time in Harlem. In 1972 William Greaves filmed Harlem Renaissance luminaries bearing witness, sparring, reciting poetry, jubilating. The film was finally complete 50 years later. It's a masterpiece and a gift. www.onceuponatimeinharlemfilm.com #sundance

If whistles are to be considered "violent weapons," just wait until that shipment of vuvuzelas arrives.
We now have right-wingers demanding that the whistles that anti-ICE protesters and legal observers use in Minnesota be deemed "violent weapons" that are used by domeetic terrorists.

MAGA influencers want anti-ICE protester whistles to be ‘considered a violent weapon’
‘High IQ people don’t respond well to shrill noises,’ Mike Cernovich tweeted before taking aim at the ‘hearing loss causing machines that terrorists use against ICE.’

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
