I totally envision Trump renaming the San Andreas Fault to Joe Biden’s Fault, and I am just putting this out there so I can say I predicted it one day.
Meta will enforce a two-hour daily limit on Instagram and Facebook for children as part of a record $17.1B settlement with 29 states over social media addiction claims:
• The “Productive Pauses” for children include mandatory pauses after 15 minutes of continuous use and again at 60 and 90 minutes to interrupt endless scrolling
• “Nighttime blocks” restricting children’s access from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
• Limited school-time access for children, eliminating push notifications on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during the school year
• Robust age assurance measures to more effectively verify the age of young users
• Safer, age-appropriate content controls, including stronger safeguards against bullying, content promoting eating disorders, and content related to suicide and self-harm
• Stronger, more user-friendly parental controls
• Limits on social comparison features, including beauty filters and visible “like” counts, that have been linked to poor mental health outcomes in kids and teens
• Both the implementation and effectiveness of the features will be regularly assessed by an independent auditor and the settling states

I can’t sleep. So let’s see if the blinding light of my phone, containing virtually every piece of information known to humanity, held just inches from my face for the next 20 minutes, somehow manages to plunge me into a deep, peaceful sleep.
This might very be my single favorite cityscape of LA so I’ll share it by itself. Taken at 600mm from across the pacific in PV at golden hour with a clearing storm the conditions were immaculate. The extremely clear air and the fresh snow at lower elevations on the San Gabriels were extremely rare. This is the one photo that gets called out the most for being fake, being shopped and now being AI when in reality it’s using photographic lens compression to take advantage of maybe once in a lifetime conditions.
