I want a biopic on Big Mama Thornton.
Four years before Elvis Presley released Hound Dog, she sang it. It was her hit!
Then he imitated her and made millions.
She never saw a dime.
Later she would introduce Hound Dog to crowds as “this is the record I made Elvis rich on.”
A 91-year-old streamer became a social media star after beating a horror game without any guides
Chinese gamer Yang Binglin, known as Game Grandpa, completed Resident Evil Requiem without using a single walkthrough. He streamed the entire playthrough and solved everything on his own.
To keep track of details, he wrote everything down in a regular notebook. That’s how he worked through puzzles and navigated the game.
He was previously listed in the Guinness World Records as the oldest gaming streamer. Before retirement, he worked as an engineer and only started gaming after 1996.
Two thirds of Alzheimer’s patients are women. Not because women live longer, but because estrogen protects the brain. When it’s suddenly stripped away, the brain literally shrinks. Brain fog in your 40s isn’t “just stress.” It’s a red flag. But instead of addressing hormones, women are gaslight with antidepressants or told to meditate. Fast forward 20 years and she’s in a nursing home and can’t remember her own kids. This isn’t “normal aging.” It’s medical negligence. And despite most Alzheimer’s patients being women, much of the research is still done on male mice instead of female mice. That’s not science, that’s neglect.”
This is Gaza, almost completely destroyed—nearly all civilian structures have been levelled to the ground.
Palestine is the most well-documented genocide in history, yet the most denied.
Thermobaric bombs dropped on Gaza which create temperatures up to 3,000 Celsius and are supposed to be banned under international law were used to vaporise nearly 3,000 Palestinians. Vaporise. We're dealing with world-historical evil
Ring paid somewhere between $8 and $10 million for a 30-second Super Bowl spot to tell 120 million viewers that their cameras now scan neighborhoods using AI.
The math is wild. Ring has roughly 20 million devices in American homes. Search Party is enabled by default. The opt-out rate on default settings in consumer tech is historically around 5%. So approximately 19 million cameras are now running AI pattern matching on anything that moves past your front door. Today the target is dogs. The same infrastructure already handles “Familiar Faces,” which builds biometric profiles of every person your camera sees, whether they know about it or not.
Ring settled with the FTC for $5.8 million after employees had unrestricted access to customers’ bedroom and bathroom footage for years. They’re now partnered with Flock Safety, which routes footage to local law enforcement. ICE has accessed Flock data through local police departments acting as intermediaries. Senator Markey’s investigation found Ring’s privacy protections only apply to device owners. If you’re a neighbor, a delivery driver, a passerby, you have no rights and no recourse.
This tells you everything about Amazon’s actual product. The customer paid for the camera. The customer pays the electricity. The customer pays the $3.99/month subscription. And Amazon gets a surveillance grid that would cost tens of billions to build from scratch, with an AI layer activated by default, and a law enforcement pipeline already connected.
They wrapped all of that in a lost puppy commercial because that’s the only version of this story anyone would willingly opt into.
Not 1st person to say it, but it's worth repeating: @GregAbbott_TX is panicky & breathless over kids learning about free speech & peaceful demonstration while he hasn't done a damn thing to stop them from being slaughtered in their classrooms.
Super Bowl is happening in a Spanish-named state (California), in a Spanish city (Santa Clara), surrounded by San Jose, San Francisco, Los Gatos, Los Altos, etc., and people are mad Bad Bunny speaks Spanish?
Keith Porter’s murder wasn’t captured on camera, so it’s allowing ICE to sweep it under the rug, but we need to keep talking about him just as much as we talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti. None of us are safe from this campaign of state violence.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just flash-banged and tear-gassed a 6-month-old baby.
ICE agents began tear-gassing a residential neighborhood after shooting a man nearby.
As the gas spread, a family got into their vehicle to escape the tear gas.
In the video, a man is seen standing in front of a car with airbags deployed on all sides, explaining that he told the agents he was trying to leave his house, with his family because of the tear gas.
Despite this, an agent threw multiple flash-bang grenades at the vehicle anyway… while children were inside.
Inside the van was a 6-month-old infant who stopped breathing after the attack. EMTs were called and taking the baby in an ambulance.
This was not a chaotic crowd encounter. The family was attempting to leave, not confront officers.
Federal agents are creating danger and then punish civilians for trying to escape it.
SNAP’s fraud rate is less than 2%. Whereas the pentagon hasn’t passed a single audit and can’t account for over $3 trillion dollars. But fuck the starving kids. Am I right
