❗️ A lenticular spoof ad at a bus stop near Meta's London headquarters flips TV personality Kylie Jenner's smart glasses campaign into a skeletal surveillance warning depending on where you stand.

The design borrows from They Live, the 1988 film where special sunglasses expose the manipulation hidden inside advertising.

The underlying concern is real, since the latest Ray-Ban Meta generation records up to three minutes of continuous video, has stealth mods and researchers have demonstrated again and again that footage can be matched to names and addresses using facial recognition.

We’re told we can no longer do basic old-school food safety inspections amid a diarrhea outbreak — in a society that’s now also deploying super advanced AI systems that inspect returned rental cars for micro scratches in order to upcharge you.

What stage of capitalism is this?

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

The severe diarrhea outbreak across the U.S. should surprise no one. It’s exactly the kind of thing we were warned about.

DOGE heavily targeted agencies related to food and agriculture, significantly impacting federal food monitoring aid and inspection capacities. This diarrhea is caused by a parasite in food.

What did people think was going to happen? DOGE didn't just cut fat; it cut into the bones.

@elonmusk we have a problem here. Your boys knew nothing. Perhaps you'll contribute to much needed emergency medical services, particularly in rural communities where hospitals are becoming overwhelmed.

The same Democratic leaders who lost the White House, the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court and a majority of governorships are telling progressive Democrats pushing for change to shut up because they know best how to win. Hilarious!!

Every Father's Day I'd like cinemas to have a "Dad Slop" slate. Shit like The Fugitive, Patriot Games, Lethal Weapon and Tombstone. Make it an all dayer and serve brews and biscuits between films. Printing money.

The creator of Linux just publicly called out the AI hype. Word for word.

Linus Torvalds took the stage at Open Source Summit 2026 and said this:

"When I see people saying 99% of our code is written by AI, I literally get angry. Because those same people — I can pretty much guarantee — 100% of their code is written by compilers. But they never say that."

He is not anti AI. The Linux kernel saw a 20% jump in submissions this release because of AI tools. He uses it. He gets it.

His point is something most people are too afraid to say.

AI is a productivity tool exactly like compilers were. Compilers boosted programming by 1000x. AI adds another 10x on top. Enormous. But nobody says "the compiler wrote my code." So why are we saying AI wrote it?

He also flagged something nobody is talking about.

AI is flooding small open source projects with drive-by bug reports. Someone runs a prompt, files a report and disappears when asked for a patch. Maintainers with one or two people are drowning trying to keep up.

"Sometimes AI reports a bug and when you ask for more information the person has done that drive-by and does not even answer your question. That is the real burnout issue."

And his final warning was the sharpest of all.

"People who do not understand the complexity of systems will prompt systems and write processes that will fail."

The AI hype crowd is very loud right now.

Linus has been building real systems for 35 years. When he talks, engineers listen.

I'm not painting women as some kind of bossy harridans sometimes I wonder if perhaps men can be a bit too meek, perhaps if Adam had said to Eve, Hey, where did you get that apple? Put it back please then maybe we'd all be having a lovely sexy time
