The Sun Just Blasted The Earth With An Enormous Solar Flare | Futurism

THE SUN JUST BLASTED THE EARTH WITH AN ENORMOUS SOLAR FLARE

During the days leading up to Halloween, the Sun's surface was roiling with activity, blasting powerful bursts of radiation towards the Earth, according to NASA. While our planet's surface is protected from the cosmic drama by its atmosphere, the flare-ups can wreak havoc on GPS and communications satellites. One solar flare was so powerful that it was classified as an X1-class flare upon detection on October 28, NASA said, which is one of the most intense of its kind. Futurism

Reality TV's Absurd New Extreme | The Atlantic

REALITY TV'S ABSURD NEW EXTREME

The genre, in its every-day-is-Halloween excesses, might seem to be sardonic or simply delusional — more evidence, perhaps, of our uniquely whimsical dystopia. But its shows are also engaging with some of the moment's most elemental questions: about identity; about human presence in digital spaces; about the fate, it is no longer melodramatic to say, of reality itself. Their inanities, in that sense, become revealing. "Who is that?!" the judges, trying to see the people inside the costumes, regularly agonize on The Masked Singer. The shows argue, absurdly and sometimes accurately, that the answer might come in disguise. The Atlantic

Zuckerberg's Meta Endgame Is Monetizing All Human Behavior | Vice

ZUCKERBERG'S META ENDGAME IS MONETIZING ALL HUMAN BEHAVIOR

The announcement of Meta, the company's VR- and AR-forward rebrand, is the culmination of a vision that should have been obvious from the start. In 2021, Facebook's colonization of social data has eclipsed the internet as we know it, and its ambitions now demand the creation of a new reality where intimate data about our social and physical behaviors can be captured and exploited for profit.
