Everyone talks about Jurassic Bark and Luck of the Fryish…
But what about the ones that hit quietly and never got the love they deserved?

• Lethal Inspection — Baby Bender. Hermes. That final reveal. Gut punch.
• Cold Warriors — That father-son silence? Brutal.
• The Late Philip J. Fry — Time skips and a rose that says “I never stopped trying.”

What’s your sleeper Futurama pain episode?

Apollo Global Management Inc. and Citigroup Inc. are offering a razor-thin rate for a private financing worth around $3.5 billion backing Boeing Co.’s carveout of navigation unit Jeppesen, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

From chronic respiratory problems to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and dementia, health damage caused by particulate matter air pollution is wide-ranging and serious. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over six million deaths a year are caused by increased exposure to particulate matter.

Measurements taken with the new method reveal that 60% to 99% of oxygen radicals disappear within minutes or hours. Previous analyses of particulate matter based on filter deposition therefore delivered a distorted image.

The older methods of measuring involed collecting particles on a filter, that.filter is then collected days or weeks later, this suggest many of the particles (60%-99%) will be gone by then

It appears that Google is letting Reddit's AI translated pages rank too well within its search results. This is in addition to Google letting Reddit get a lot of other search visibility, but AI translation, well, that should really not perform so well.

"Dr Ahmed al-Farra, a senior doctor at the Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis, witnessed the arrival of some of the remains.

“I was able to see three bodies when they were transferred to the Nasser hospital. They had bullets in their chest and head. They were executed. They had their hands tied,’’ Farra said. “They tied them so they were unable to move and then they killed them.”"

I really like public endorsements in forums, when the comment/post shows the names of ppl who like it, it lets me know if I can trust an opinion, especially if I've seen those names before, which is common here.

Instead of ppl commenting seconded or I agree, they could endorse a post to publically show their name next to a like/upvote. The inverse would also be nice as well, downvote/disagree and show your username, both would be helpful information, becoming more valuable overtime.

As an addition to upvoting/downvoting, not replacing it.

The problem with the soft apocalypse is that it is still an apocalypse. It still ends in collapse. We tell ourselves we have time, that the worst is always just ahead, that we will act when we must

Meta Platforms Inc., ramping up work on a deluxe version of its popular smart glasses, plans to include hand-gesture controls and a screen for displaying photos and apps.

In 1998, then 27-year-old detective Peter Dutton was pursuing an escaped prisoner in a high-speed chase through the streets of Brisbane when his car flipped and slid into a building.

A former minor-league baseball player and his father were charged with fraud over the failure of an Arizona sports complex that cost municipal bondholders more than $280 million.

Millions of Americans have downloaded apps that secretly route their internet traffic through Chinese companies, according to an investigation by the Tech Transparency Project (TTP), including several that were recently owned by a sanctioned firm with links to China’s military.

TTP’s investigation found that one in five of the top 100 free virtual private networks in the U.S. App Store during 2024 were surreptitiously owned by Chinese companies, which are obliged to hand over their users’ browsing data to the Chinese government under the country’s national security laws. Several of the apps traced back to Qihoo 360, a firm declared by the Defense Department to be a “Chinese Military Company." Qihoo did not respond to questions about its app-related holdings.

VPNs allow users to mask the IP address that can identify them, and, in theory, keep their internet browsing private. For that reason, they have been used by people around the world to sidestep government censorship or surveillance, or because they believe it will improve their online security. In the U.S., kids often download free VPNs to play games or access social media during school hours.

However, VPNs can themselves pose serious risks because the companies that provide them can read all the internet traffic routed through them. That risk is compounded in the case of Chinese apps, given China’s strict laws that can force companies in that country to secretly share access to their users’ data with the government.

[...]

The VPN apps identified by TTP have been downloaded more than 70 million times from U.S. app stores, according to data from AppMagic, a mobile apps market intelligence firm.

[...]

The findings raise questions about Apple’s carefully cultivated reputation for protecting user privacy. The company has repeatedly sought to fend off antitrust legislation designed to loosen its control of the App Store by arguing such efforts could compromise user privacy and security. But TTP’s investigation suggests that Apple is not taking adequate steps to determine who owns the apps it offers its users and what they do with the data they collect. More than a dozen of the Chinese VPNs were also available in Apple’s App Store in France in late February, showing that the issue extends to other Western markets.

I posted on my local subreddit asking about this sheisty van that I saw outside of my house.

It has the name cyber logistics inc on the side and when I looked it up online it just got weirder and weirder, but I couldn't find any real information about it.

There are similar branches in Florida (most recently), NY/NJ, IL, and South Africa. Still don't know wtf this is?

I just woke up to a post this morning letting me know it's registered to the Louisiana Secretary of State. Given the LA Governor quietly granting the National Guard authority to act during a declared state of emergency involving cyber security, I admit I'm a little on the paranoid side lately especially about things like government surveillance.

I flipped out when I saw the message bc I'm paranoid and kind of dumb like that, but a friend of mine let me know all businesses are registered with LA secretary of state.

So I definitely overreacted, and don't want to contribute to any disinformation/misinformation, but maintain:

1. Whatever the fuck cyber logistics inc/cyber transport ltd is, it's fucking sheisty.

2. If Landry can blame George Soros for voters in Louisiana not voting the way he wanted and still be Governor, I can at least ask questions about his power grabs and granting authority to the National Guard
