My emergency needle-finding magnet, in a little green fabric pocket with a string so you can sweep it around more easily.
This is an appreciation post for strong magnets.
Every person who does needlework should have one.
I just flung my favourite sewing needle across the room. (By accident)
So glad it hit something on the way down and made a noise so I knew where to look.

Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man's Meta Smart Glasses on Subway
A New York subway rider has accused a woman of breaking his Meta smart glasses. She was later hailed as a hero.
In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Elon claimed the subscription fee would stop bots and trolls, but it’s done the opposite. Now overseas bot farms pose as MAGA accounts to profit off fake outrage, while Russia uses those same networks to amplify propaganda and deepen divisions in America.

EU hits Musk's X with $210 million fine for breaching bloc's social media law
European Union regulators say the breaches of the bloc's digital regulations could leave users exposed to scams and manipulation.

Opinion | A Bad Ukraine Deal Could Spur Nuclear Proliferation
From Warsaw to Seoul, allies are asking if they can rely on the U.S. to protect them against aggression.
The Ukraine war was never about just territory or NATO.
It was also about what happens if a nuclear power starts carving up a non-nuclear neighbor—and how the U.S. would respond.
Here's how U.S. fecklessness set the stage for nuclear proliferation around the world:

So Trump 2.0 is now officially determined to officially meddle in Euro countries' domestic politics.
Not a new revelation, but the pompousness and self-righteousness of putting it in black and white in this official document is pathetic.

Remember: Trump or Russian propagandists might say otherwise, but Putin is not winning, and the Ukrainians are not losing.
