FACEBOOK'S MIND READER AND BOTTOMLESS PIT 😱

Heya,

Everything has an illegal element to it nowadays; Lego was once just a torture device, then a toy, and now there are all sorts of illegal "builds" fracturing the community. Now, you can identify them all.

I also found some other stuff like anime-neoclassicism, an extension for messing with data tracking, Thanos, and the genuinely creepy things at Facebook.

Enjoy... 


🕸️ The Cool Side of the Web

Contemporary music stars get acid washed in these retro album covers. 🧷

If you put a skeevy mustache on any celebrity and I will upvote; put it on Justin Bieber and you just got a new best friend. This is my favorite thing of the week; closely followed by these chubby Barcelona players.
Especially Piqué...it really cracked me up for some reason.

Super cool Tumblr of Tokyo Fashion. 🇯🇵

I am not someone who can pull off "fashion", I am a man-child with a perverse fixation on t-shirts, but these fashion snaps from the streets of downtown Tokyo will take-yo on a journey to Cool Town.

What the hell is a blockchain phone? 🤷

Every phone is a blockchain phone; their value plummets the second you buy them, and you'll never get it back.

Zuckerberg's evolution into Bond villain gathers pace as Facebook's builds a mind-reader.

It would make for a great comedy sketch: A platform built to connect the world run by people that seem almost heroically disconnected from public perception.

"The Connector" also has a secret escape passage in his office.

Sure it is...
If you ever find yourself in his office and he asks you to step a little to the left, then you best go right or you're going to fall into the piranha-crocodile pit.
At best.
His trapdoor probably gives way to a bottomless pit...And then what?
Just don't go into his office.

Have a great week,
