You Bought Zuck’s Ray-Bans. Now Someone in Nairobi Is Watching You Poop 💩🕶️

https://blog.adafruit.com/2026/03/04/you-bought-zucks-ray-bans-now-someone-in-nairobi-is-watching-you-poop/

Satirical recreation of Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses privacy webpage, with Mark Zuckerberg replacing all the models. Hero text reads "Designed for surveillance, controlled by us." Three product panels below show Zuckerberg sitting cross-legged on his phone, a close-up of the glasses camera, and Zuckerberg looking smug — captioned "Data harvesting that matters," "Power down — footage already uploaded," and "An extra layer of human annotators." Body copy states users cannot opt out and that human reviewers in third-party facilities may access their footage. Created for editorial commentary on the gap between Meta's stated privacy promises and documented reality.

Overreliance

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

A comic in four panels:

1. It's night, and the rain pours through the windows. The group of the five Tree Spirits are playing with the Gothic Sorceress's home accessories and decoration, making a mess. The Gothic Sorceress, in the middle, in a yoga pose tries to contain their actions. She asks her AI Parrot:
> Gothic Sorceress: "Avian Intelligence, tell them in their language to stop! They're making a mess!"

2. The AI Parrot doesn't react, displaying a spinning loading symbol in its speech bubble. The Gothic Sorceress urges it to hurry as the Tree Spirits continue their actions, breaking things, playing with fire, and spilling ink.
> AI Parrot: (Loading Symbol Icon) loading...
> Gothic Sorceress: "Come on! Hurry up!"

3. The AI Parrot's eyes are now crossed and their light turn off. It is obviously disconnected. The Gothic Sorceress feels distress and start to panic, while the Tree Spirits action are more extreme: one burn a part of her haircut, another one pushed a book on a candle.
> AI Parrot: "Network error. Disconnecting."
> Gothic Sorceress: "No... No!! Not NOW!!!"

4. The next day, the AI Parrot finally reconnects, happy, but the house is in ruins, with smokes, everything is broken... The Gothic Sorceress sits on the floor, she looks exhausted and apathetic: the five Tree Spirits are all sleeping cutely on her lap.
> Narrator: "The next day..."
> AI Parrot: "Network restored. Hi there, how can I help you?"
> Gothic Sorceress: "Too late..."

A woman in dark glasses, a woollen hat and holding a US flag stands by a busy road with a sign. The sign reads "Operation Epic Fury" but the "IC" of "Epic" has been crossed out and above the word in red, is written "stein".

When recovering from surgery, here are some ideas for how to take care of yourself:

1. Get lots of rest. Your body is rebuilding!

2. Now is the perfect time to catch up on that book series you've been meaning to read.

3. Hydrate well and eat easy to digest food. Eat smaller meals more often. Maybe keep a snack bag by the couch/bed.

4. KNIT SHRIMP.

The shrimp is looking at you with his little bead eyes. He wants you to know everything is going to be ok.

The Embassy of #Iran in South Africa sent a message to the Embassy of #Ukraine informing us about the opening of a book of condolences for the deceased ayatollah and his associates. Ukrainian Ambassador Dr. Olexander Scherba sent them a response.

Your Excellency, Mr. Ambassador,

Since you notified the Embassy of Ukraine of the book of condolences for the deceased Ayatollah Khamenei and Iran’s military leadership, I feel compelled to remind you of the following.

As military allies of the Russian Federation, the deceased leaders of Iran had on their hands the blood of thousands of Ukrainian citizens – men and women, children and elderly – killed with the help of the infamous Iran-made “Shahed” drones and other military know-how so eagerly provided to Russia by your government. Your leaders were complicit in bringing endless grief to Ukrainian civilians.

Being a person of faith, I try not to rejoice in the death of other people, even those who chose to be tormentors of my country, who did nothing bad to theirs. But as someone who has spent three years to the tune of Iran-created machines of death howling every night in the sky over Kyiv and other peaceful Ukrainian cities, I cannot help but wish for every culprit to meet the justice they deserve. If not by human law, then in the face of God Almighty.

Ambassador, I do not know you personally and have no grudge against you. Sometimes, good diplomats must speak for bad leaders and their policies. But I hope you understand that I won’t express condolences for someone whose death I do not mourn.

Sincerely, Dr. Olexander Scherba, Ambassador

Panel 1: A person lies in a hospital bed, speaking to a woman standing beside them. The person says, "...and then Death flashed before my eyes." The woman looks concerned. Panel 2: In a flashback, Death, depicted as a cloaked figure, dramatically opens its cloak in front of the person. The person looks shocked. Panel 3: The person says "This is creepy." Death, now sweating, stands silently as the person looks at the open cloak with a neutral expression. Panel 4: The person is back in the hospital bed, speaking to the woman. The woman says, "You are so brave." She looks touched and slightly teary-eyed.

The wisdom of Calvin ...

A Calvin and Hobbes cartoon where Calvin asks his dad -

"DAD, HOW DO SOLDIERS KILLING EACH OTHER SOLVE THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS?"

His dad looks stunned, no answer...

"I THINK GROWN-UPS JUST ACT LIKE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING."

Calvin walks away...

Rubio’s State Department had all this time to prepare but failed to consider what the impact would be. Just like what happened with USAID when they gutted it overnight. Criminal incompetence.

Screenshot of an X post by journalist Jonathan Karl quoting a message heard when calling the State Department emergency number, advising Americans not to rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation. Below is a video still of Karl speaking in a newsroom.

fwiw, this is how many of the deaths in Nazi concentration camps took place. sure, there were gas chambers and executions, but disease, starvation, neglect, and exposure did a lot of the work. it's happening again, **right now**, in the USA. https://tucson.com/news/local/border/article_a5053df1-4ade-4424-972f-e9f5270829bb.html
