I keep saying there are literally millions of good reasons to wear a respie in public, and people keep ignoring me.
Can unfortunately confirm this is 100% real. Sources and more info below.
EFF's Threat Lab used static code analysis to confirm Meta deployed facial recognition to millions of Ray-Ban smart glasses. The "Name Tag"
TL;DR: On June 4, 2026, the Electronic Frontier Foundation published “Move Fast, Surveil Things,” confirming through static code analysis that Meta has already deployed facial recognition code to millions of Ray-Ban smart glasses. The internal “Name Tag” feature converts every face in view into a 2,048-number faceprint array and matches it against a stored database. An EFF researcher activated the feature in debug mode and watched the glasses detect a known face in real time. Meta’s spokesperson says this is just “evidence of exploration.” Exploration doesn’t ship to millions of devices. This is staging for launch, and internal documents show Meta planned to flip the switch while privacy groups were too busy to fight back. ...You don’t need a central database when every user builds their own local faceprint collection. The faces still get scanned. The biometric data still gets created. Meta just outsources the storage to your phone, and the legal liability to you.
-via State of Surveillance, June 7, 2026. Emphasis mine.
But good news! There are things you can do to protect yourself and your community. As quoted from the article:
What You Can Do
Assume You’re Being Scanned
If someone near you is wearing Ray-Ban Meta glasses, treat it like a running camera, because it is. The small LED indicator that’s supposed to signal recording can be covered with tape, and Meta’s “always enabled” mode processes video without activating it [6]. The Nearby Glasses app can detect Meta Ray-Bans via Bluetooth.
Lock Down Your Meta Profiles
Name Tag matches faces against Meta platform data. If you have Facebook or Instagram accounts, set your profile photo to something that isn’t your face. Make your accounts private. Better yet, consider whether you need them at all. Every photo of your face on Meta’s platforms is training data for identifying you later.
Support the Legal Pushback
The EFF, ACLU, and EPIC are fighting this on legal, legislative, and technical fronts. Texas’s investigation proves state-level enforcement works: Meta paid $1.4 billion last time Texas came knocking over biometrics. Push for biometric privacy laws in your state. Illinois and Texas showed the way.
Don’t Buy the Glasses
Every pair sold expands the surveillance network. Meta has shipped millions already. Each one is a camera pointed at everyone else. If you own a pair, understand that the facial recognition code is on your device right now, and Meta can activate it with a software update whenever they decide the political moment is right.
-via State of Surveillance, June 7, 2026. Emphasis mine. And remember that for an undocumented person in the US right now, facial recognition spyware identifying them could be the difference between life and death.
Just days after a damning WIRED report exposed that Meta had quietly embedded facial recognition technology (FRT) code into millions of phon
Hey good news they're already quietly removed the code!!!!
Public outcry matters!!!
But still don't buy the glasses, they can add the code back in by pushing an invisible update whenever they please
Been going through my recent followers to remove the bots and have made a rather annoying discovery-
Quite a few pro-Trumpsterfire blogs have started following me. I'm sure some of these are bots as well but let me say this plainly.
Fuck that man. I am going to party so fucking hard when he finally kicks the bucket.
Fuck off with bigotry of any and all sorts. Learn to be better people who care about others simply because they *are* people. Except Trump. Fuck that guy.
"all you ever do is complain" that's not true. I also resent.
and love..........
Part of what makes DS9 feel so real and alive is how many kinds of Guys it introduces.
Like I just love "Guy who sneaks into the offices of famous Starfleet captains to take a picture of himself behind their desk". It's both:
Perfectly plausible for there to be someone like that.
Incredibly funny.

so i made a potpourri with cinnamon and nutmeg and ginger and cloves and orange peel and anise and i have boiled it all day and it smelled so nice i took a sip and the sip was actually wonderful so now i have drunk four cups of potpourri juice and i am only now going to the internet to ask if i am going to Experience The Torments. or if i may have a fifth.
(i cannot quite explain it, but it’s like my entire low i have had a low grade stomachache, and normally i just deal but This Juice helps a little. i am unreasonably fond of it.)
"I just made herbal tea is it safe to drink" is the most mormon-raised shit I have ever seen.
Fr tho u should be fine, it's normal to enjoy tea, and it doesn't generally lead to The Torments, barring some kind of allergy
😔 highly specific and accurate roast
We're doing alien waterfalls this week on my art blog newsletter. Just dropping the sign up form here... do with it what you will. 😌
Human Is is a 1955 Philip K. Dick sci-fi short story where a guy goes to another planet for work and when he comes back to Earth his personality has flipped from an asshole to a sweet, kind, considerate man. Everyone's immediately convinced that an alien has taken over his body, this goes all the way to court, and in court his wife testifies that she's noticed no changes at all and so the charges are dropped.
And then there's a bit right at the end of the story as the wife and the husband are walking out of court:
Jill turned abruptly. "What is your name? Your real name."
The man's gray eyes flickered. He smiled a little, kind, gentle smile. "I'm afraid you would not be able to pronounce it. The sounds cannot be formed..."
Jill was silent as they walked along, deep in thought. The city lights were coming on all around them. Bright yellow spots in the gloom. "What are you thinking?" the man asked.
"I was thinking perhaps I will still call you Lester," Jill said. "If you don't mind."
"I don't mind," the man said. He put his arm around her, drawing her close to him. He gazed down tenderly as they walked through the thickening darkness, between the yellow candles of light that marked the way. "Anything you wish. Whatever will make you happy."
And I. God. There's something there. A soupcon of monsterfuckery. To tell your partner in a moment of intimacy that yes, you're something so inhuman that the lips you're stealing can't speak your actual name. You're a parasite that not only had the ability to burrow under this man's skin and take over his life, but you were so desperate to escape a dead, dry, blasted planet that you did.
And for your partner to then turn around and go "I know, I've always known, and I love you" is just. God I know it's not a great Dick story but something about it is making me lose my mind
Also it's explicitly stated that the guy's consciousness is still alive and preserved on the alien planet. Jill is told this and then proceeds to defend the alien anyways, ensuring that her husband's brain is stuck in a jar on a desert planet. You love to see it
If anyone wants to see the adaptation, Bryan Branston played the guy who got replaced in the Amazon anthology series Philip J Dick's Electronic Dreams.
I’m Getting Adopted By… WHO? (tumblr parent poll round 4 poll 2)
Kirk & Spock - Star Trek
LEGO Batman - The LEGO Batman Movie
Okay look. On the one hand Kirk and Spock aren't kid people and would probably be neglectful parents because any room in their hearts not taken up on their jobs is filled with each other.
On the other, you'd get to grow up unsupervised on the Enterprise!!
I think Kirk would be great with kids actually, but not necessarily a great parent. Kirk is the type of adult who kids instantly look at and think to themselves "Oh, that is just a child who has tricked other adults into thinking they're an adult. I can trust him." That is until they hit the 15/16 age when the kid starts to think of themselves as an adult and the illusion drops then they can't stand him.
Spock on the other hand would be good with his own kids but bad with other people's kids. He'd be the type of parent who'd do a shit ton of research then realize none of it applies to his specific child who doesn't act like Book Child and has to adapt. But because he knows the pain of having shit parents himself he's fully committed to not being a shit parent so he'll figure it out for little T'Jamie.
In short: Kirk, bad parent but good with other people's kids. Spock, good parent but bad with other people's kids.
So in short, Spock should adopt a kid by himself and Kirk just helps out? 🤔 I always think that's what they did with Saavik....
I just think of the times we've canonically seen them with kids:
-Kirk and Charlie X. Epic fail
-Kirk and the kids in Miri: mostly fail, except with the one girl
-Kirk and the kids in And the Little Children Shall Lead: they liked him fine but he missed all the red flags entirely
-Spock and Leonard James Akaar: wouldn't even hold the baby
If you believe the books, though, Spock was great with Saavik.
I feel that if I were their kid, I could get away with a lot, just between Kirk's cluelessness and Spock thinking it's educational to let me crawl around in the jefferies tubes.
I feel like all those kids that Kirk interacted with though weren't just normal everyday kids though they were Plot Children™. Put Kirk in a middle school and he'll do fine. Mr. James T Kirk, is probably one of the best substitute teachers the district has. And yeah, James Leonard Akaar is Someone Else's baby and Spock is bad around those. He'd probably be like "I fail to see the need to practice on another child when the Enterprise library has 13 petabytes of material from 720 different cultures and 62 species I can study on the subject. It feels... irresponsible to engage in parenting activities until one has learned all they can on the subject. However, perhaps the doctor, not being as versed in logic, would enjoy learning parenting through experimentation on the child."
Ummm she's literally sensitive :/

KEEP SLANDERING IT.
DRAG THESE BITCHES THROUGH THE MUD.
Dear god they suck so much and they often take longer for tasks that would be done much more quickly by hand and yet the management is convinced it's an innovative new pipeline or whatever. BURST THAT BUBBLE.
One of the most hilarious things to happen last week was my boss struggling to generate an image of an informational sign we designed inside an acrylic frame. I did it in three minutes with Photoshop.
Brian McFadden: Is Google Cooked? (via Daily Kos)
There's something kinda funny about how RWBY just absolutely refuses to die despite a constant stream of adversity. The first season was objectively hot garbage but it still got a second season. The creator of the series whose passion project the whole thing was passed away in a freak accident after the second season but they just kept going without him and somehow a significant portion of the fanbase went along for it. The budget got slashed in Season 5 because of gross mismanagement but no worries! The fans stuck with it and they got it back for Season 6. Then a few seasons later the entire company that's been producing it went completely tits up and we all assumed THAT would be the end but nope!!! They got bought by Viz. RWBY has now outlived both the man who dreamt it up and the company that produced it. In an era where numerous streaming shows get axed after one or two seasons despite being critical successes with large fanbases it is completely baffling that a show that is so consistently troubled and infamously has an extremely mixed reception cannot be fucking ended despite all indications to the contrary. It truly is femslash Supernatural
guess what just got greenlit for a 10th season, 2 years after OP's post
