A black and white drawing of a city street with a park bench and an electric pole and a kite being flown, and a bush on the sidewalk. A shadowy man wearing a trenchcoat and hat is reading a newspaper on the bench. Another shadowman is peaking out from behind the electric pole. Another from the bush, another behind the kite, another perched on an electric line like a squirrel. Accompanying text says "I know my neighbors aren't who they say they are. I know that they know what I'm doing. They know I've carefully diagrammed the locations of the 7-Elevens near the Pentagon. They know I'm staying up late googling the words "shrek+goku bdsm sex gifs" they know I've invented a new economy where money is replaced by fingernails and teeth. They can't stop me. They can't stop the truth from coming out."

A drawing of trees with cats in the branches at the bottom and crows at the top, all silhouetted against a blue background like a twilight sky. The cats have little yellow eyes and the crows a white eye.

« Si un pays peut fonctionner aussi bien avec une croissance quasi nulle depuis deux ou trois décennies, alors peut-être qu’une partie du discours économique repose sur un malentendu assez profond ? »

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.

The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.

Below is the full, mind-blowing list.

🚨THEY. WANT. YOUR. DNA.🚨

1/
- All social media accounts from the last 5 years - All your biometrics: face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris - All your phone numbers from the last 5 years - All your email addresses from the last 10 years - IP addresses and metadata from your submitted photos - Names of your family members (parents, spouse, siblings, children) - All your family members' phone numbers from the last 5 years - Your family members' dates of birth - Your family members' places of birth - Your family members' residencies - All your business phone numbers from the last 5 years - All your business email addresses from the last 10 years

i have basically lived my life in a state where one could search the web to find practical information about whatever but every website is just this now & i frankly don’t know how to deal with it. might look into checking out how-to books from the library when i need them

googled something and clicked a link to a website I'd never heard of that looked like a forum, read the discussion and realized the person asking a question and all of the answers were all LLM generated, the entire website was a fake forum pretending to be people asking/answering questions

Monet’s Poplars series almost didn’t happen because the trees were about to be cut down.
So he purchased them until he finished painting, then sold them back.

Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization. In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children. Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.

the Thai-Cambodian conflict is at least partially about control of the scam/gambling/prostitution compounds along the border.

it’s too bad that you’re being puppeteered by vast and impersonal structural forces. have you tried being endowed with a pure and uncorrupted will?

here in toronto, we know that people have a variety of different transportation needs. that’s why we take a “worst of all possible worlds” approach - so that no matter how you choose to get to your destination, you feel like you’re being punished for it

this one minute video sums up today's opening of toronto's newest light rail, line 6.

this is so, so infuriating.

~50 min to go 10 km; ~30 min to go 5km.

in this case, the cross street is a minor road, yet the train is still held up for a minute for left turns

Panoramic view of a Mars landscape, dominated by a reddish-brown, rocky terrain. Large, dark-colored boulders are scattered across the foreground, amidst smaller rocks and fine-grained regolith. The background features a flatter, more distant landscape of similar color, suggesting a wide expanse of the Martian surface outside Jezero Crater.
