When you use Metaโs glasses, will anything you see โ from documents you review to those super sexy hookups where you keep your stupid glasses on โ potentially be reviewed by underpaid workers in Kenya?

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.
Just another day/reminder of how โthe richest and most powerful nation in the worldโ cannot do mass transit.
We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

FBI Director Kash Patel fired roughly a dozen agents and staff members who once had ties to an investigation into Donald Trump, including agents who specialized in Iran and its proxies.
Three days after the firings began, the U.S. was bombarding Iran.
Tragedy and farce, at the same time.
