So a lady has just beaten her own world record as the oldest female wing walker, but why is it called "Wing Walking" when you are strapped motionless to a frame on top of the wing?
No disrespect meant, as I wouldn't do it!

Would you mind editing the AltText to add something like: the street musician is playing the violin while sitting. With his feet he manipulates pedals that make a puppet playing a small piano move its arms and looking around, so it looks like they're performing together.Feel free to ignore this suggestion or if you want to, to copy paste it.

"If women wore smart glasses, they'd be banned." (soigomaa/X)
Think about it. If millions of women wore smart glasses, recording men's behaviour, conversations, comments, their driving & bar chats ... can you imagine the panic? Smart glasses would be regulated before you can say the word 'Meta'.

Finally, a justification for wearing them...
As long as they weren't terves, racists, Karens, or any other sort of people we don't like.
Finally, a technological answer to a hypothetical asked by Amazon Women on the Moon: What if women had access to a system for reviewing the past romantic behaviors of their soon-to-be date. This skit was so prescient, but I doubt they were going for that.

@briankrebs first thing I thought of when reading this
Sensitive content
@briankrebs For a little while, I was a part of southern Ontario's kink community. After a little while, I got word of a semi-secret undercurrent to that community. Playing on their insider language, "sub-net" was a word-of-mouth network among "receiving-side" women to talk and find out reputations of men they were considering seeing. It was far from flawless, but word did get around about problem men. I thought it was a fantastic idea, and I never worried about what might be said about me.
A conference I am speaking at later this year just announced they are banning these smart glasses. I'm glad they made that explicit, but they really shouldn't have to. IMHO, anyone who is infosec or aspires to be in this profession who is walking around a conference w/ these on needs just keep walking into a new profession.
Gloomily, I wonder if that’s true or if the forces of denial would just keep grinding.
Good take. 👏
The world is run by old and mostly white men who don't really give a damn about the majority of the people.
Especially if they were used to perform retroactive birth control. Victims would not have to wait years for a rape kit to be tested after providing a whole body as a genetic sample to speed up the process.
Is that a suggestion? (Not a woman, but thinking about it)
What an excellent idea! With publicity, that could easily take off...and as you say, they'd immediately get outlawed, lol!
I'm male and think it would be hilarious to watch the immediate change in male behaviour if they think it's being recorded!
If a woman had developed and distributed the idea, with her name and face attached, like Zuckles has with his Raggedy Andy ass floppy doll head, the glasses would be deemed national-security and industrial-privacy risks across the world. Banned before shipping.
And it's absolutely not hyperbolic to assume a woman would have contract bounties put-out on them by cocks like Putin and Orban.
And it's absolutely not hyperbolic to assume a woman would have contract bounties put-out on them by cocks like Putin and Orban.
Who would all the women buy those smart glasses from, though?
woman + smart glasses = genius. Unfair.
Dismantling the house of the master using the tools of the master? Not possible.
You would be helping something you despise.
You would be helping something you despise.
Sousveillance is a thing. Seize the means of voyeurism and all that.
I would not mind a name and shame web site, something like "Boors of the week", that would make bouncers and barmen job so much easier.
Bonus point if every woman in the party actually put these glasses on at the same time and politely ask the idiot to repeat whatever he was saying just before.
Reminded me of this clip during the google glass hype

@FrancoisPrague Please put a content warning in!
so, funny thing about that, there’s already a brand deal with Kylie Jenner for fem-chic Meta glasses
That remembers me a phrase:
"if safe abortion were for men, would had been Law long time ago"
Maybe we should start doing just that.
i love the idea, but honestly: of the millions of smartglasses already sold, are we saying that not a single one has yet been sold to a woman?
"if women wore smart glasses…" they already do.

We aren't banning shit lately regardless of who is the douchebag's gender anymore. Just see what Rowling is doing too.
And with the Flock camera debacle it's pretty obvious they would only ban them if they aim at rich people and is done by poor people.
We found the game gentlepeople, start putting cameras on the rich's houses and attach a bomb in case they want to dismantle them.

I call them spy glasses but yeah
Just need a reputable brand that doesn't spy on the owner
I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is many, but not all, of the obnoxious uses of smart glasses is already illegal in Australia. This includes covert audio recordings, and commercial use of images without consent has many restrictions. The question is about enforcement.
Imagine what would happen if large portions of privacy vilotions shared with and published at the numerous Networks operated by Meta would possibly be conducted by women?
It would sure be both outlawed and even prosecuted!
Yeap. Reminds me of the dating sketch from Amazon Women On The Moon.
Wait, I thought EVERYONE wanted to see Mark Zuckerberg with his clothes digitally removed!??
i think that would be awesome (and we haven't regulated pepper spray.) How can we make this broadly adopted?
@wndxlori please don’t make me want smart glasses to become common
nope. Remember who the US voted for as president?
He has had camera teams with them when he said things like "grab them by....". It didn't change anything. Some may have even voted for him because of this.
It’s always very interesting (and revealing) to make such PoV switches, when something that would appear just normal suddenly becomes unacceptable (meaning that it always has been). Thanks for this gentle (huhu) reminder. 👍
@wisegreyowl we should have a law allowing women to carry those little laser pointers and use them to block these smart glasses. Shame if it blinded anyone using them. Real shame.
You make a strong case for universal surveillance

What's wrong with the snippet below from the Guardian's Business section?
Rising house prices are not 'growth' it is asset price inflation... to be fair the Guardian is certainly not the only media organisation miss-representing inflation in house prices, but I've not mentioned it for a while...
House price inflation should be presented as a problem (given the housing crisis) not as 'growth', as if it was a good thing.
RISING HOUSING PRICES ARE INFLATION!

The french fries probably originated from Spain some 400 years ago.
Fish and chips are a kind of food that was introduced in England by immigrants.
And the Spanish paella emerged from the Muslims who began rice cultivation in what is today called as “Spain”.
Look at the evolution of the popular Chicken Tikka Masala (Wikipedia):
Evolution of chicken tikka masala as a multicultural British dish.[41][4] Chicken tikka was created in Mughal India using Persian marinading of meat in yoghurt and Central Asian tandoor roasting with Indian spices.[42] In 20th century Britain, a sauce was added to meet the British liking for gravy with meat.[12] The dish has evolved further to a taco filling in the US,[36] and to a pizza topping in India.[39] Tacos originated from Mexico.[43] Pizzas originated from Italy.[44]
Snippet from Culture Cancer - tromsite.com/2026/07/culture-c…
regarding the Catalan stuff, it was forbidden to speak their own mother tongue during the 40-year dictatorship, and still there are sequels and social wounds since then. It may sound as a weird behaviour, but I think it's understandable knowing the context.
