This is cool as hell: An app designed to ping people about nearby smartglasses.

Also cool: The creator was inspired by @404media.co coverage, a great illustration of why their journalism is so essential. This kind of work is funded by paid subscribers so become one of those if you can.
This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby

A real pleasure to meet George Clarke and hear about his experiences growing up on a council estate. We both know the positive impact social housing can have on families’ lives.

That’s why I’m determined to continue delivering more council homes as we build a fairer London for everyone.

What’s happening in America is technofascism. It could happen here

Peter Thiel's data company is powering ICE operations in the US. In part 2 of the Nerve’s Palantir series, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social argues that the UK will be next - and we map Thiel’s network🧵

Favorite images of 2025, Day 6: A roseate spoonbill splashes its wings through the water, causing an explosion of droplets as it looks straight ahead towards the camera. One of my favorite photos I've ever taken. #birds

Chaos on TwitterX as they roll out a new change which shows the location of the user and inadvertently reveal how many fake accounts there are and how much foreign interference.

Earlier a vocal Scottish independence campaigner was outed as an Iranian account. Then there’s this pro Trump one:

This is the launch control button that MM93 was fiddling with at the start of the sprint. He says he forgot he had already turned it on, so as he rolled to the grid he thought he was turning it on, when in fact he was turning it off.

This photo says it all.

Russian missiles killed 4 people overnight in Kyiv - including, appallingly, 3 first responders as they tried to rescue civilian victims of earlier attacks.

Putin will not stop murdering Ukrainian civilians unless forced.

European leaders must act. 🇺🇦

PM says UK needs tougher rules to reduce immigration significantly or it risks becoming “an island of strangers”.

Sometimes a race will come along and remind you why you love this sport, what makes it so special, why your pour your heart and soul into the spectacle of people riding in circles on motorcycles.

Sometimes something magic happens in #MotoGP.

Sunday at Le Mans was one of those days. A celebration.
