It may be difficult for some to reconcile how Dalì could be both a racist who was expelled from the Surrealists group for his obsessions with fascism, Hitler, and Franco —and an artist who fetished African American model and actress Donyale Luna. He likely saw her exactly how he saw the ocelot.

Dammit. I really wanted meta to lose this in open court. This is the "Social Media Harms" trial that would have literally destroyed that company; looks like they finally realized that, too. That said, Meta will enact substantive changes to (& i want to stress this) *teens'* fb & Instagram accounts…

In addition to sending billions of dollars to states, Meta will make substantive changes to its platforms as part of a landmark settlement.
