Pervert glasses will supercharge the banal and destructive post-9/11 surveillance, sure - but more than that, they will be combined with facial recognition to dox and shame anyone and everyone who makes a public mistake.

PANEL 1: A GRIZZLED MAN pacing in a grey hallway on a spaceship. He's wearing a boiler suit and holding a knife.
GM: NOW I KNOW ONE OF YOU BASTARDS IS A SECRET "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" SENT HERE TO KILL THE REST OF US.
GM: AND *WE AIN'T LEAVING THIS ROOM* UNTIL WE FIND HIM…AND KILL 'EM!

PANEL 2: Three more CREWMEN respond.
CREWMAN 2: I- I TOLD YOU SIR, I'M A HUMAN! FLESH AND BLOOD!
CREWMAN 3: ME TOO! I SWEAR!
CREWMAN 4: HEY, HOW DO WE KNOW *YOU* AIN'T IT?

PANEL 3: Back on the GRIZZLED MAN, who pricks his arm with knife, dripping a small amount of blood.
GM: PLEASE.
GM: HOW ABOUT THE NEW GUY. YOU'RE AWFULLY QUIET.

PANEL 4: Just to the right of CREWMAN 3, a COMPUTER MONITOR is on the table, with a pixelated emoticon smiley face on it.
COMPUTER: Hello there! It seems like you're looking for who the computer might be – I bet I can help! Let's all take a look at the facts together.

So many sexual assaults could be stopped if men had the courage at the locker room talk phase (on or offline) of just telling their boys “that’s fucked up, dude. You should show some respect for women.”

This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...
To skirt campaign finance laws and conceal the source of the funds, Navatek planned to funnel the donation through a shell company. The CEO wanted assurance that Collins would know where
the money came from. Reed confirmed that she would, the executive said - and that Navatek would get its government contracts.
After the Corner Bakery meeting, Navatek's CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica.

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

Very easy game of "spot the chud" in the portraits for mayoral candidates in a long-suffering former industrial town
an older white man with white/silver short-cropped hair with a receding hairline and goatee smiling in a peach-red polo shirt, squinting in the sun; an older white man with white/silver hair almost gone entirely on top and goatee wearing a suit and tie and kind-of smiling in a professionally shot outdoor portrait;  a man in his 30s or 40s with a peaky blinders haircut and gigantic pube beard who has AI-tuned the 5-point studio lighting portrait within an inch of its life; a Black woman with short hair dyed purple and hoop earrings, looking slightly down for an unflattering angle of presumably a self-shot portrait.
