“The 230-page lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Northern California, accuses Meta of fraud and false advertising, along with violating other consumer protection laws in various states.”
Meta glasses captured and shared intimate images without users' consent, lawsuit claims

Instead, dozens (maybe hundreds) of Cubans were kidnapped and sent to Africa, where they’re being held WITHOUT THEIR PASSPORTS.

internationally recognized for her slow, heartbreaking morna music, Césaria Evora could also go uptempo, as in this lightly danceable coladeira; but that voice is going to be quietly heartbreaking anyway. like Billie Holiday in that regard.

quick touchdown in what is now DR Congo with a classic female-sung soukous backed up by the legendary Franco and his band. a pan-African hit in 1986, it reminds me a bit of Prince’s prolific, aesthetically unified collaborations of the period: a similar generosity b/w control.

Dominican "world music" artist -- which in this case means folkloric and out (in the jazz sense) music rather than the populist dance that's been dominating this thread. But it moves anyway, in its own fashion.

A long time want found at Spitalfields last week, hardly ever seems to turn up. Is a bit scruffy but was pretty cheap. Love a version of "Taboo" and this is one of my favourites.
The Caribs were Australian (I think) musicians who recorded for Chris Blackwell in Jamaica before he moved to the UK

Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat?
We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.
